Reply to: Britain will be "fully prepared" for leaving the European Union without a deal.

By the way all this was predicted by the "Experts".

Or you know seeing as these rules are made up by the Eu they could you know like change them so it does not have an impact?

Maybe?

Or would that actually involving thinking and making things better rather than just saying computer says no - which i think was one of the main contributing factors to the brexit vote.

They have no choice, the US will come down on them like a ton of bricks if they don't satisfy local content rules.

This is what you call an own goal by the UK.

Hard of thinking again.

The Rules of Origin percentages are included in the EU’s FTAs and bilateral agreements, they can’t just unilaterally change them, they would need to renegotiate every single agreement with the 3rd parties. And nobody is that crazy.

I see what you did there

Oh diddums, the piteous Brexiter would like to have his cake and eat it
There's a reason for the rules you know.
Once you leave your golf club do you write a letter to the Club secretary asking if he could please change the rules to include you now and then?
Fooking pathetic.

Britain's economy on track to bounce back in second quarter of year | This is Money

Who you trying to convince?
I'm sure your mate Trump will give the UK a great deal to compensate for loss of trade with the EU.....oh wait ......

Growth of .5% for the first half of 2018 alongside:

economic threats from rising fuel costs, stagnant real wages, Brexit uncertainty and a reluctance amongst firms to invest in the UK.

I guess that does constitute good news considering what is down the track.

We've seen a growing interest in UK afternoon tea (scones, jam, tea, sandwiches and cakes) in China linked to the popularity of programmes such as Downton Abbey and the Great British Bake Off

At least one side’s getting ready for “No Deal”. The EU’s reminding businesses that U.K.-manufactured components will no longer count towards RoO for their FTAs.

Any EU businesses on the edge of tariffs due to U.K. suppliers will be starting to think about replacing those suppliers with intra-EU ones.

Any estimate for when the stock piling of food and queues at the petrol stations start?

Existing domestic stockpiles of gammon and mince are expected to last for approximately 30 years.

What a wasted 5+ years of government. Rail, NHS, critical infrastructure falling apart and the government is still trying to make good failed Cameron vote bait. Where is that fecker hiding?

You've got a very good pair of binoculars.
