So we have an allegedly Scottish Devonian who says that Cornwall is best. Not surprised he was sacked from boiling spuds for the TA, he’s got zero loyalty for anyone.

Even if they make a half-hearted attempt at it the price of Lithium is going to soar. If you have a ready supply of it then you are going to be in a strong position.
And you are relying on politicians to do what they promise?
What’s the cost of labour, pensions, safety laws, environmental laws in post-default Argentina vs UK?
People will pay premium for higher grade stuff, not lower.
Cornwall is better off keeping clean environment and selling 2nd houses to successful tycoons from Bham...Last edited by AtW; 13 December 2020, 02:51.Comment

Originally posted by Mordac View PostCornwall has a long history of tin-mining. If you'd ever been there, you would have seen the remnants of old tin mines everywhere. Now it's full of rich Londoners with second homes, the protests against new mining operations will be loud and endless, so no need to worry, the pristine Cornish landscape which you've clearly never seen will be protected.
Because getting same stuff from 3rd world is a LOT cheaper even if they were paid as much to do it, which they ain’t.Comment

You think people in the EU give a tulip about Cornwall now: Huge lithium reserves in Portugal | MININGMETALnews.com“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

Originally posted by AtW View Post10% tariff on imported cars won't change sales much since there is no other viable alternative anyway, sellers will just add a few extra months to the renting those cars out, since they are not bought anyway
A big fall of sterling is a bigger risk, but so far falls are minor
VAG, BMW, Mercedes and the rest don't have good electric options yet and are mainly moving to manufacture poor hybrids with very limited range.
As soon as brexit and covid19 shocks the job market more a lot of these people will want rid of their car burden. £400 to £500 per month for a car they barely drive isn't a good idea and most people will eventually wake up to this notion. The main problem will be for the manufacturer created banks that fund these people. The Financial Times has often published investigations into these banks and, 3 years ago, stated they are very frothy and could lead to a domino effect on markets, particularly causing the Germany economy to suffer once people realise all cars do roughly the same thing and the German vehicles aren't as reliable or cheap to service/fix as the marketing suggests.Comment

Value of used cars is the key here - if it drops more than forecasted by these financial products than lenders got big problem, higher new car price can help keep used market in good shape.Comment
