Plan for a very hard Brexit, German firms told

[WTFH]

So let me get this straight

Germany will be able to sell into the Uk with zero tariffs

But when the Uk tries to sell into Germany (or the EU in general) they will slap a 10% tariff on that

Can you expand on that at all?

Such as why?

Why? Simple - because the UK will continue to buy German products no matter what.

But if you mean why would the EU slap a tariff on something from outside the EU, it’s because they already have tariffs in place for certain things.
If you google EU import tariffs , you’ll see what is already in place for anywhere without a specific trade deal.
That is not about “punishing the UK” or “teaching the UK a lesson”, it’s how the EU (including the UK) has worked for many years.

Seems fair to me?

I knew this was all Esther Rantzen's fault. She has finally escaped from her lair in the basement of Charing Cross Hospital.

Was looking at my euro coin this morning and wondered if they're make a new coin without the UK on the map.

I can just imagine you, huddled over your single bar electric heater. Fondling your only coin, knowing this would be the day you could finally afford soup from the cafe below your bedsit.

I sometimes think of myself walking past you, then throwing some of my lose change to you. Knowing that you could finally afford a ticket back to the UK. I know when you get back your depression and bitterness will leave you. A support job working for the local council IT finally becoming an achievable goal.

One day Scoots, one day.

And say WHAT exactly? Scotland held a Referendum on Independence and decided 55% to 45% to remain as part of the UK.
As a consequence they get treated like the part of the UK they voluntarily chose to remain.
Something does not stop being Democratic just because you don't get the result you hoped for.
What exactly are you expecting the EU to "speak up" about numbskull?

It is far from perfect but it is still Democracy, much more so than what Juncker and his cronies would like to practice anyway.

You full well know there's many things that could have tipped the Scottish referendum to a yes vote. Many EU residents in Scotland voted no in fear of loosing their status and right to continue living and working there. It is well known a result of around 65% for independence would have come in had EU citizens voted the same way as Scottish residents. Regardless of what side you're on, just like the UK referendum, both were without full facts by the time of voting.

It is becoming clear these EU citizens are loosing rights with the UK leaving it should not be a surprise to see a surge for independence now grow.

Support for Scottish independence rebounds three years after referendum


And then you have someone like Ruth Davidson parading about with won seats. I don't believe for a minute she really thinks she won seats rather than benefited from a SNP rebuke. I'm sure she's not that doof. They'll be lost by the next general election.

the maps already differ based on the denomination - Ukraine can be seen on the 50c coin....

Given that most people buy new cars by walking into the car showroom and asking what they can get for £x00 a month - I wouldn't be so sure on what the customer actually earns...

PS given that you claim to know so much about economics how is the monthly on a lease or PCP car calculated?

Never ask what you can get for £x00 a month, and never tell a salesman your budget. Get him to tell you what it costs and then say I want that and can give you what he asks - 5% , then walk out. Never do this in September or March when the order book is full.

Business Lease is cheaper than PCP , never had a PCP so never found out the details but either way your paying for the depreciation of the car and its not yours, believe PCP has a balloon payment at the end and lease you just give back and they sell it at auction, so the math would be similar and proportional to the cars write down per year.

So why would the UK not just slap a 10% tariff on goods from the EU? (or Germany)?

Seems fair to me?

Go for it.
That will mean it’s 10% more expensive for the UK to buy products from the EU, and as we have been told many times, the UK buys a lot of stuff from the EU (we’re normally told that by people who add that the EU would collapse if it lost the trade)
...oh and the other bit would be that you can slap tariffs on imported products, but not imported products by country/region.
So, a 10% tariff on cars would be a 10% tariff on cars supplied to the UK from all countries, unless the UK had a specific trade agreement with that country which got round that one.
