QUOTE (newres @ May 30 2019, 03:31 PM) Businesses are moving or planning to. But your analogy is incorrect, moving now is really just an insurance policy. The real damage will come after when we lose inward investment jobs. Obviously losing frictionless trade will mean more job losses. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/business...n-a8792296.htmlI stand corrected, I see the decision by nissan to pull the plug on the X trail is totally due to brexit. Nothing of course to do with; "In the first quarter of 2019, sales of the Nissan X-Trail SUV, once popular in Europe, fell by two thirds. The reason is the new WLTP standards. In the first quarter of 2019, the Nissan X-Trail lost 67% in the European market compared to the Q1 2018. In the first TOP 10 mid-size SUVs, it took only in the 7th place. A couple of years ago it was the second. New WLTP requirements for emissions level are the reason for the X-Trail sales drop, according to experts. The automaker had to withdraw some versions from the market due to them." So, nothing to do with the fact the the xtrail only sold 24,000 units Europe wide last year? And nothing to do with the fact that in order for it to meet new standards would require complete new retooling, for a car whose sales are in free fall. No! It's brexit! Of course it is!

I honestly don't know what remoaners would do if we did stay. What could they blame for everything? Its also the only reason some of these #fbpe cult loons get up in the morning. They can't have jobs, some of these Twitter feeds contain a tweet every bloody 10 minutes..

Observe any member of the great unwashed and they seem incapable of conducting the simplest of tasks without the obligatory phone in one hand and coffee cup in the other. How they procreate is a mystery but one assumes they operate in the workplace with minium restriction. As one who still thinks a tweet is an ornithological reference I stand on the sidelines and observe with increasing incredulity.

Companies relocate all the time, sometimes it's for cheaper rents, sometimes it's a more advantageous tax regime, cheaper labour, bigger government handouts, you name it. But rather than explain exactly why you're doing it is sometimes politically disadvantageous, so you say it's brexit. Easy.

Welly, Welly, Welly,
"EU banks and fund managers faced being stopped from trading dual-listed companies in the UK capital, should Britain leave the bloc without a deal in place, under a rule from Europe’s markets watchdog to “significantly reduce the scope” of trading obligations. But the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has now announced a U-turn on the plans after “taking into account the concerns expressed by stakeholders”. ESMA said it had identified 6,243 companies that investors registered in the EU would have to trade on European exchanges in the event of Britain leaving in a hard Brexit scenario. Of this group, 14 dual-listed stocks – including Vodafone, BP, Royal Dutch Shell, AstraZeneca, GlaxoSmithKline and Coca-Cola European Partners – have their most active market in London." The London Stock Exchange said the news was positive for investors and a “step forward in avoiding market disruption in a no-deal Brexit”.

British Steel is almost certainly a victim of lost contracts due to the Brexit uncertainty. You’d have to be pretty ignorant to not realise the jeopardy the automotive industry will be in if we exit the single market as well as agriculture. Patrick Minford has said this is a necessary cost. But future inward investment losses would be huge too.

QUOTE (je suis Charlie @ May 31 2019, 05:56 PM) No comrade, we can build 'tractors' but not cars, cars are for imperialist elites. Once we have enough tractors built in the Birmingham oblast we will build tanks! Tanks comrades! An army of steel to grind the imperial elite into the dust! The pasty whey faced imperialist scum will tremble before the steel will of party chairman Corbyn! Onwards! Not one step back! More than an element of truth in it my friend. Tractors are mentioned in this FT article...🤣🤣 https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.ft.com/con...a4-c32129756dd8
