If you read my posts then I'm saying if they play hardball on car trade then we will survive the only benefit will be fewer German cars in the fast lane flashing their headlights at 100mph
Let me rephrase it in a simpler way :
Financial "passport" and freemarket = free movement.Comment

Nissans very well aware of it too. Every manufacturer in the world is well aware of it. Luckily for everyone employed in a high cost country Corporations look at other factors as well. Nissan invested £100 million in producing the new Juke last year despite the impending referendum.

The writing was on the wall for Nissan the moment they partnered up with Renault. You don't think the French overlooked that as an opportunity to move production to France, by any chance?Comment

Is there a picture of the interviewee?

The question is, what concessions will the UK need to make (freedom of movement of people? payments to the EU?) to retain that access, and whether the final result looks for all intents and purposes no different to today except we no longer have any influence within the EU.Comment

Passporting may require current style freemarket access and therefore free movement however it might not. That is why we need to negotiate. It was obvious remain should win, it didn't. It was obvious the world was flat etc.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment
