    Brexit, innit:

    The German export sector also continues to suffer from the trade conflict. But it’s not all gloom and doom. Maybe it was hoarding in the run up to the first Brexit deadline but exports to the UK increased in the first few months of the year. In fact, German exporters almost sold as much to the UK as to China over this period.
    How to win friends...

    Mind you this wasn't reported in the BBC article:

    The news that Germany’s economy struggled so much in April has sent European stock markets.... higher!The main indices are all up around 0.7%, led by energy companies, technology firms and industrial groups.
    Even German stocks are up. The DAX index has gained 0.5%, despite the news that factory output and exports both fell sharply in April.

    The global slowdown will mean a no deal Brexit is less likely.

    He's only concerned that things need to go bad in other EU countries. He takes great pleasure in seeing people in the EU suffer. It's one of his things.

    And what Brexit did to the Australian car manufacturing industry is simply shocking.

    This in itself should be cause to revoke Article 50

    Brexit has ****ed up the UK car industry. And the German car industry. And the Chinese Car industry.

    Oh and the Korean Car industry.

    This is what Brexiteers overlook, sure companies close factories and restructure all the time but in a healthy economy new investments replace the closing factories.

    In post Brexit Britain when a factory closes it's off to the fruit farm.
