Cont: Brexit: Now What? Part 5

[Ian Osborne]

Leave campaigner James Dyson says Brexit is fine for car manufacturers, and plans to make his own electric cars in Wiltshire.

Then he changes his mind, and builds it in Singapore.

 

[Jack by the hedge]

My report forecasts that everyone will get a pony in the event that Britain leaves the EU ...

Meh. Make it 'alf a monkey and I'll think about it.

That man is such an arse...

Last time I checked, Singapore isn't in the EU. So this hardly seems Brexit related.

So why did he change his mind?

 

[Giordano]

Last time I checked, Singapore isn't in the EU. So this hardly seems Brexit related.

Perhaps that is exactly the point. He finally had time to think about it and realized that Brexit was not good for a British owned car manufacturing plant in either the UK or in the EU. That seems to make sense.

We can always count on a selfish **** to behave like a selfish ****, especially on a Tuesday.

 

[Archie Gemmill Goal]

So why did he change his mind?

I don't think he did. Hullavington was the R&D centre, he's more interested in China/Japan than the UK as they buy into his ******** marketing.

 

[ceptimus]

Most Dyson products seem ludicrously overpriced to me. I suppose he must think that he can sell such overpriced 'designer label' stuff better in Asia, and it's probably also closer to where he will source a lot of the parts to build the car.

That's if it ever actually happens - I don't know how realistic his production targets and dates are.

 

[GnaGnaMan]

That's a relatively sobering article. Not least because it's coming from an organization which has been campaigning for leaving the E.U. for the last three years.

Of course, none of that will matter to the hard-core hard brexiteers, since it says things they don't want to hear.

Some dedicated, long-term brexiteers favored the Norway option but it's in the nature of revolutions that the radicals win out.

I think the UK is simply on a kind of emotional auto-pilot. Bashing the EU has worked for selling papers and getting votes. Lots of people like to hear it. Of course, that wouldn't change with the Brexit vote.
So the EU still gets bashed with made-up non-sense. There is no rational thought behind the course that the UK is taking.
I wonder, once Brexit has hit the wall, will the adults be put in charge or will they simply reset the auto-pilot.

The importance of supply chains and being close to one's markets... One hears a lot about that lately.

Last time I checked, Singapore isn't in the EU. So this hardly seems Brexit related.

Singapore just signed a trade deal with the EU.

 

[Delphic Oracle]

Taking control of your borders doesn't mean the jobs can't leave.

Even after you figure out the Ireland issue, I mean. :9

 

[Wudang]

Singapore just signed a trade deal with the EU.

Which includes "Motor Vehicles and Parts thereof" (Annex 2-B) .

 

[Darat]

Which includes "Motor Vehicles and Parts thereof" (Annex 2-B) .

That will be a relief for Dyson.

 

[ceptimus]

Shows how vital such trade deals are that they've only just signed the deal. I wonder how the EU managed to trade with Singapore before?

I flew out to Singapore myself a couple of times about fifteen years ago to assist with the installation of some measuring equipment at some pharmaceutical factories. I had no idea whether or not the EU had a trade deal in place, and it didn't seem to matter.

Changing from planning to manufacture in the UK to Singapore by a major Leave supporter isn't relevant?

 

[catsmate]

UKians won't able to afford them soon. More will there be functional roads or electricity supplies.

 

[Lothian]

That will be a relief for Dyson.

It will mean cars go to the EU free of taxes. After a hard brexit there will be a 20% tariff on cars to the UK. He realises that the EU is far more important than the UK and the priority is the bigger market.
Watch other businesses follow suit.

Nonsense - typical remoaner scare story - Peugeot has already announced the production of their 100% renewable energy model they'll be producing in the UK post Brexit.


Lumberjacks are gearing up now!
