I'm not. I grew up in Country Durham and saw how hard the closure of mining, steel making and other heavy industry hit the region and the huge damage done to individuals, families and communities.

The Nissan factory is a source of highly skilled, relatively highly paid employment in the area and when the supply chain, and the general economic impact is considered is a huge economic boost to the area. If it were to close, the area would be kicked back 40-odd years and another generation could find itself on the scrap heap.

I take no joy from that prospect. YMMV. :mad:

Shanker Singham, Brexiter trade guru, tells the @FT he opposes attaching stringent animal welfare and environmental standards to imports. “If you are going to take that kind of approach, you should never have left the EU,”

No **** Shanker.

Except there will be ****, it will just be hidden by the chlorine.

Imported chlorine washed chicken won't be labeled as such, that's another of the conditions.

At this point why don't they just drop the pretense and officially declare UK a territory of the USA?

No income taxes, that's good right?

Maybe the good people of Sunderland now realise the consequences of what they voted for. They want out of Europe. They've got it. However, if cars do not have a CE certification they cannot export to EU countries - and Nissan is a big seller - without a great deal of expense and the payment of tariffs. I will not be buying a British car for that reason. Parts might now be difficult to obtain due to the withdrawal from standardisation.

You can't blame Nissan. They have to make a profit if they are to be a going concern.

Next time, people of Sunderland: be careful what you wish for!

Being based in a non-EU country does not prevent a company exporting cars to EU countries. How do you think cars built in countries such as Japan, USA, South Korea, and Malaysia are sold in the EU?

With tariffs, which can be lowered with trade deals. For example, before the EU-Japan trade deal came into effect tariff on cars from Japan were 10%. With the deal the tariff immediately dropped to 9.2% and are planned to drop year-on-year untill it hits 0% in 2032.

Will it be allowed to label EU products with their origins? Like "Made in Eire"? Or must UK hide that, too, so that people can't figure out which chickens contain ***********?
 
Without his scientific advisors, Matt Hancock's half-hour looked more like a party political deathcast on behalf of the trying to save Boris Johnson's arse party.

Always remember our exit from EU is not just for us. We are creating a blueprint for others to follow. No compromise over our sovereignty/judiciary/legislative protocols. We are going to demonstrate over coming decades how much more efficient & accountable a sovereign state is!

They set up factories in Europe, generally speaking. The EU is a trading blcok. Anything outside the EU is subject to tariffs.

Cars coming into the EU outside the bloc pay substantial tariffs. Off the top of my head €1,200 per car, which is passed on to the customer as increased price. The car market is extremely price sensitive so you'll find the best selling models are often the cheapest, for example, the Dacia Duster.

Whoa! Are you saying that anyone with a Jewish name is not allowed to be a conservative? Many Jews with German, Polish, Spanish, even Arabic sounding names have been in the UK for generations, even in the case of Sephardic Jews expelled from Spain hundreds of years ago.

Likewise, here in Finland, Scottish names such as Finlayson, Fazer, Ramsey and Douglas are surprisingly common because they came over as military centuries ago.

There is NOTHING in a name that guarantees nationality.

ETA: So this guy's Polish born. So what?

Kawczynski was born on 24 January 1972 in Warsaw. His parents were Leonard and Halina Kawczynski.[4] He came to Britain with his mother at the age of six.[5][6] He was educated at St George's College, Weybridge, an independent Roman Catholic school in Surrey, followed by Birmingham Polytechnic and then the University of Stirling where he studied business studies and French, graduating in 1994.[7][8] He served as president of the university's Conservative Association in 1991.

2030: "Please keep in mind that "coming decades" doesn't necessarily mean this decade. It encompasses this decade, but also contains the decade we are about to enter and those that will follow it."
