'Hard' Brexit

What it actually means in case you didn't know:

Discrete and slow softening of language in the U.K. press, leaking into the mainstream.

There used to be “soft” Brexit (EEA/ Norway), “hard” Brexit (Canada + or -), and “catastrophic” Brexit (crash out with no deal).

The language has shifted imperceptibly so that “hard” Brexit is now crashing out with no deal. Which is, in the old language, catastrophic.

The UK may wish to do what it wants to do and the EU can deal with losing its cash cow.

No, it's all the CARDS that the UK holds, not all the CARPS.

EU would apply tariffs at borders with the UK. Of course the UK would apply no such tariffs? Are you trying to take over sassy's position as cretin-in-chief?

Time to face a few facts. Hard Brexit almost guaranteed. UK will suffer - so will the EU. Part of the process of "East" and "West" becoming more equal.

The USA is helping this process. Good chance that next year German car manufacturers will not be able to export to UK or USA. Which will only help Asia.

As long as Italian cars and their spare parts still get in, it's not an issue for real car enthusiasts.

News flash, a lot of the German cars for the US market are manufactured in Mexico and the like. All major car manufacturers are well versed in avoiding import tariffs buy building assembly lines in the appropriate countries.

UK will be too poor to afford German cars so it's a non-issue. Time to nationalise take back control of British Leyland and return to the glory days.

Including Jaguar, and given the exit their exports to the US should return to pre-EU levels.

I note the the remainders are still afraid of the big bad WTO rules.
