Britain would go to the ‘back of the queue' for US trade deals post-Brexit

Oh, do we have to? He smells a bit, although probably not quite as badly as I do...

One ironman I did, I experimented with weeing while cycling. It did not work out well as I ended up with nappy rash. And it is really hard to do! Quite a technique.

At the end I smelt my triathlon outfit. Never again.....

Several thoughts which are going to be very difficult to erase from memory...

Why Right Wing Media Outlets are ****tards

I think this pretty much explains why you shouldn't believe anything a Brexiter says:

The ABC Of Why Obama Is Wrong: 26 Companies That Won't Want Britain At The Back Of The Queue

I'll leave the readers of the article to find out why it is bunkum (apart from the fact that none of these companies have actually stated anything of the sort

Apparently also available as a UKIP leaflet and press release: The ABC of why Obama is wrong - UKIP

Some of us think big decisions should be made with some analysis not "hit and hope".

It isn't "hit and hope". It is the recognition that in matters of trade, globalization trumps all. If agreements are needed so that Lenovo can sell you 1000 laptops (or whatever), then agreements will be written. Don't sweat the detail.

Obama has hinted that such agreements (with the US) could be delayed, but I honestly can't see that, can you? Why would they be delayed? There might be drawbacks to Brexit, but loss of trade won't be one.

To right, like CETA which was launched in 2008, concluded in 2014 and is expected to be ratified 2 years later

Not sure what your point is. Sasguru knows all this and more besides.

Sas, I think you underestimate the price competitiveness of the Luxury car segment.

I have watched permie's scrutinise their company car lists with more acumen than an actuary, trying to find the car with the most toys at the least tax. There is a reason why everyone suddenly switched over to Golf TDI's and Audi company cars that that was the deals they could get for fleet and the company car tax multipliers. a 10% tariff on any of the german fleet boxes will leave most of the company car buyers choosing english built cars or the Japanese ones that are already in on a trade agreement.

Nearly all the German cars have an English built equivalent that will benefit from a price increase...

Skoda/VW Golf / Aud A3i/ MB A class = Mini have something to compete with one of those
Superb/Passat/A4/3 series/ = Jags new baby jag / XF

XJS for the super limos
f-Type for the sports car enthusiasts

RangeRover / Landrover for 4x4

The pricing will be very close and adding company car tax + tariff + vat on to a car will make them very uneconomical.

If you are right about the effect of tariffs, I have no doubt Tata would welcome a rise in UK company car sales.
Whether it would compensate by the fall in total Euro sales, is another question.

Also factoring in the supposed decline in Sterling which would make prices more competitive.
