    Japanese companies not quite behind Brexit

    Bosses from 19 Japanese companies, including the likes of Nissan and Toyota, met with prime minister Theresa May this afternoon in Downing Street.

    After the meeting Japan's ambassador to the UK said that no firm would be able to keep operating in Britain if it is not profitable due to Brexit-related trade barriers.

    "If there is no profitability of continuing operations in the UK - not Japanese only - then no private company can continue operations. So it is as simple as that," said Koji Tsuruoka (pictured) when asked about the threat posed by a failure to secure a post-Brexit free trade deal with Europe.

    "This is all high stakes that all of us, I think, need to keep in mind."

    That'll be a few less foreigners

    Time to get the old dies out...

    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.

            don't knock it we relieved them of a fortune. They also took us out to great restaurants.
            Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.
