Originally posted by darmstadt View PostI was thinking about this yesterday as no-one actually knows what she promised Nissan. If she promised them unfettered access to the single market then she's pretty much screwed up there and it wouldn't surprise me to see Nissan do an about face or did she promise them government aid for when the UK leaves the single market and tariffs go up...
I, and I suspect many others, really would like to know what she promised them, obviously not enough“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

Some time in April 2017...
A phone call is made in London to an office in Washington...
USA Gov: Hallo, US Trade here
Britsh Gov: Hallo, British trade here. We were just wondering when we can start discussions regarding a trade agreement?
USA Gov: I'm afraid we're going to have to put that on hold for the meantime
British Gov: Why? We were told that we would be first in the queue and what, with our special relationship we thought that the new President would like to get this one rolling
USA Gov: Well as you know our policy is now America First, Make it in America, Buy American and so on. As you can see there is no real need and anyway, we already have a trade agreement with Europe
British Gov: But as you know, we've left the EU so we need to negotiate a new agreement with you
USA Gov: Well....we already get most of what we need from European companies and I'm sure that they can gear up to provide us with what you provide us without needing another agreement, plus our American companies and workers are the best in the world so I think we can probably do most of it ourselves....
And so on...
I bet Theresa May is swearing at Donald now“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

The people spoke and voted for the people:
"Their worst-case scenario of £4,300 per household is a bargain basement price for the restoration of national independence and safe, secure borders," said Mr Banks who just happens to have an estimated net worth of £100m, and a controlling interest in a diamond mine in South Africa.
Aaron Banks, big old Leave campaigner with lots of money and one of the people:
- married to Russian Ekaterina Paderina, who is reported to have received help to remain in the UK from Mike Hancock while he was an MP
- Banks was the chief executive (CEO) of Southern Rock Insurance Company in 2014, which underwrites insurance policies for the website GoSkippy.com. After Banks' departure, Brightside took legal action against him, alleging he used confidential information in setting up GoSkippy.com six months later. There were also legal actions between Southern Rock and Brightside.
- According to Companies House records, Banks has set up 37 different companies using slight variations of his name. The names used by Banks are Aron Fraser Andrew Banks, Arron Andrew Fraser Banks, Arron Fraser Andrew Banks and Arron Banks. The profiles for the first three names all use the same date of birth but register different lists of companies
- One of the UK businesses of which Banks is director, Rock Services Ltd, had a turnover of £19.7m last year and paid corporation tax of £12,000. The company deducted £19.6m in "administrative expenses", and the main activity appears to be "recharge of goods and services" with Southern Rock Insurance Company
- Also in the Panama papers...
You see where this is heading don't you? He, along with all the other 'people' want the UK to leave the EU so they can have a new tax haven. The rich get richer through lying to the poorer...“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment
