    Brexit would be a perfect candidate for a Monty Python sketch

    Right, we're brexiting, we wash our hands of them

    Oh, it's the same as it was before

      So have we got another offshore bremoaner here as well? Worse than bloody champagne socialists there are and twice as toxic.

          Sunderland would really be the only area impacted. The supply factories that are further afield supply a lot more companies than just Nissan.

          Plus Cars are a red herring. If we want a deal with free trade in cars and car parts Germany will happily agree to it and the rest of europe can argue the point as they watch Skoda / Seat close a factory or 2 in Spain / Eastern Europe to reflect reduced demand for their cars.

          The fact we end up with free trade in cars is going to be irrelevant in the negotiations. We will have free trade for goods the battle is free trade in services vs free movement of people. And to fix the latter its the UK that needs to change by making benefits dependent on residency and tax paid .

            Nope, we've got people asking very basic simple questions, and then the only replies are name calling, because the brexiters haven't got an intelligent and coherent response.

              Never heard a bremoaner resort to childish insults about intelligence.

                  I have an Italian colleague, he said the Italian media is raving about how post-Brexit Britain is flourishing, I said fer fek's sake we haven't even Brexited yet.

                  Milan.
                  Italy's economy from 1970 to 2000 was based on slow depreciation of their currency to cope with an inflexible labour market.

                  If you compare GDP per head (in $) from 1999 to 2015 for Germany, UK and Italy the Italian GDP has increased by 36%. The UK and Germany has increased by over 54%. Italy's inability to adjust their currency to reflect market changes has resulted in their growth being only 2/3rds of Germany's and the same is true (if not worse) for most of the rest of the Eurozone. So you can see why some in Italy will be looking at us with envy.

                      so, recap,

                      are we concluding that even Brexit is not Brexit ?

                      Would a Brexiter please explain for the rest of us thickos what Brexit actually means.

                      And thus, will Britain actually execute the Brexiter's vision of Brexit ? Hence the poll.
