      FTFY

      Free market = free movement.
      Thats not going to change.

      If I was BMW or Mercs MD I would be lobbying the EU to raise tariffs to 20%. Play the long game. Destroy the competition coming from the UK at the cost of a short term blip in profits. Perhaps Mister Tata thought of that and that's why he's opened a huge Jag-Land rover factory in Slovakia.
      Meanwhile the Germans could welcome the relocating Jap companies to Germany with open arms.

          Was eating my lunch and turned on the radio. PMQs is on and Camoron told Corbyn to go. They cut out and the political commentator repeated it.

          Edit: Yes I'm shocked. Camoron said it's not good for the country to have a cr*p opposition.

            We're doomed. The gallows humour is not funny anymore.

              They'll shrink to just serve the UK market while the EU market is served from the EU.

                If you have never seen the cars lined up in different parts of the country you would realise the capacity of the UK to produce cars is high, and you would know shrinking manufacturing plants makes them unviable.

                Edit: Sorry still shocked over what Camoron said to Corbyn.

                  Sunderland should just MTFU, apparently.

                    as per the briefing document I posted.

                    we export ~ £13Billion to the EU & Import £26 Billion.

                    If the EU stuffs us on the exports we reply by stuffing them on the imports and we have a huge now over priced import market to play with.
                    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.
