Murky Nissan deal

[sasguru]

I was abroad when it happened and talking to a Swiss bloke who reckoned it was obvious that Brexit wasn't going to happen and that Nissan was told as much. But I missed UK coverage and I've only just remembered. So basically they've said they'll make the new models in Sunderland. Wouldn't make any sense to do that if there was any risk of tariffs.
But what makes it stranger still is that the French government is a majority shareholder in Nissan-Renault.
So presumably Ghosn, the boss of Nissan, will tell his contacts in the French government what he knows.
Which leads to the strange and bizarre idea that the French government has more information on British intentions than the British parliament.

Yeah, let's take our country back, NOT!

You see the problem with you SB, is your essentially "Tim Nice but Dim" personality.

Well, zero input that is delivered in banal enough terms for a simpleton like YOU to get your tiny mind around.

Oh, how I have missed this never ending rambling gibberish. Arise from the dead Great Lord Baldrick of SAS.

Both of us want a hard Brexit.
Not going to happen though, as Nissan already know

Absolutely.... it was clear after the "Nissan Letter" the UK wouldn't be leaving. The "transitional deal" is just EU Membership with the word "transitional" stamped all over it.

It got merged with something else. Sorry, can't keep up (cue laughter from the seriously impotents...)
