No single market access for UK after Brexit...

Are you having a laugh?

No, I am just up to date on what's going on - Russia now runs ~30% budget deficit on a monthly basis, hard currency reserves are at limits where they say they won't even defend their own currency - Putin does not have money even for World Cup 2018, nevermind giving 50-80 bln euros to Greece, he simply can't print euros, but ECB can so he will always be outbid, Greeks know it, Germans know it, Russia was only used as negotiating tactic.

Jaguar is Indian. Land Rover is owned by Jaguar and so is also Indian. Nissan is part-owned by Renault and is therefore French-Japanese.

And let's not forget Rolls-Royce and Mini who are both owned by BMW.

You tax imports, not who owns the company.

30% on BMWs imported from Germany.

No tax on Minis produced in the UK.

We are not anti German business. Just encouraging the politicians to be sensible.

Don't hold your breath on that one...you may have just written the first sentence in history which contains both the words "sensible" and "politician". I salute your optimism, but expectations are very low.

Fair point. I'll have a word with myself.

If Russia thought it was in its interest it would find the money.
