Tomorrow's going to be interesting in Parliament

Feck me. Will someone rid us of this obvious troll?

Most CUK posters been saying the same about you for years.....

[WTFH]

So you support Brexit not because you would be better off but because potentially you will have better rules to enjoy your classic cars!? Goodness me...

He believes a rusting Mini Metro used as a daily commuting car should be treated the same way as a 1929 Bentley Speed Six.

A bunch of assumptions there.
Will Corbyn win a clear majority? I very much doubt it. The main newspapers will trash him and make sure of that.

The EU have stated they will not alter the agreement, but as yet there has been no attempt by any Brexit supporter to come up with detailed suggestions on what would be better.
If the UK Brexit people cannot come up with a single workable detailed idea, then there's nothing for the EU to discuss or debate. Until the UK team can formulate a plan, then the UK are stuffed. But that's what was voted for - no plan, no idea, no thinking.

"The main newspapers will trash him and make sure of that"

that would only embolden the voters in my area. They'd see that as the Tory establishment trying to discredit him. Perhaps the same might happen in other Labour strongholds. Leaver Labour party supporters will stick with their MP even if that MP is a leaver.

Ah, so the EU laws which mean a classic car doesn't need an MOT is a really bad law and you want that removed. OK, makes sense.
Also the bit about tax exemption? You want that removed too?

Great.

...or is it just the bits you don't like that you want rid of, if it saves you money it should stay?

I have always been wary of the tax exemption and now the MOT exemption. Classic vehicle owners are now an easily identifiable community which can be targeted with regulations which aren't necessarily conducive to our interests. The exemptions are to our benefit now, but given that Gordon Brown removed the tax exemption and it was re-instated by the Conservatives, no Government can be trusted to maintain the status quo. If we paid tax and had our vehicles MOT'd the same as everyone else, then it would be much harder for HMG to identify the community for specialist treatment.

actually, there are already potentially adverse DVLA policies which are more likely to affect a Speed Six than a Mini Metro.

well, how would you feel if any government introduced legislation that potentially completely devalued a major investment of yours? This is always a potential.

an example,

If you had a buy to let mortgage and a Labour Government introduced regulations to "protect" the tenants which made it nonviable financially for you, you'd be quite upset wouldn't you? You'd be unlikely to sell it with a sitting tenant and nobody else would want to buy it as a rented property and you'd still be lumbered with paying for it. Just because you may not have a classic vehicle, doesn't mean that others are not concerned about the issues. Remember Martin Niemöller.

The only fault (and it's a big one to bet your Brexit argument on) is that you can always export the classic car and get your money worth, property in the UK, not so much.

Oh boy, the spending pledges are coming thick and fast. I guess they are easy to make, given the zero chance of Boris remaining in power to implement them...

But strong credentials to help Business maximise the opportunities of a Clean WTO Brexit.

British tea, jam and biscuits will be at the heart of Britain's Brexit trade plans

But that's precisely what makes it such a great joke..
