    Only if you read and believe the Daily Mail ("World's least accurate paper ®"). More reputable sources show that "they" come over and add more to the tax take than "they" take in social budget, so in fact "they" reduce your tax burden.

        The IOD never said that the UK "had" to join the Euro. Their members were split

        Directors split over euro | Business | The Guardian

        The majority supported joining the Euro. They argued that not being in the Euro damaged exports, which it did, because as a result the UK now has a whopping big trade deficit with EU, which has been growing since the introduction of the Euro.

          Pure speculation, would be dismissed in court.

            As is the pulling of investment in car manufacturing in the event of Brexit.

            That is just a coincidence.

                Ford has blamed Brexit for a near- $1billion fall in 2017 earnings

                So assuming that this isn't to do with Brexit I wonder what the reason is.

                  Ford said another factor in the downturn is 'growing anti-diesel sentiment' across Europe.
                  Doesn't sound as sexy and topical as "It was Brexit wot dun it!" I'll grant you.

                    So you are saying we should have stayed in the EU to keep the pound at an artificially high level to help a US based company make more profit?

                    That does not sound like good reasoning to me.

                      Yeah, why not print £100,000 notes so that pound is not kept at artificially high rate of whopping 1.3 USD
