"Won't it be great to be free again?"

Free from what exactly?

LOL

I am reminded of Lady Sylvia Hermon (much respected Independent MP for North Down) speaking in one of the key Brexit debates a few months ago. Boris and the ERG had been going on about Alternative Measures for the border in Ireland. She asked the simple question: can you give me a single example of one of these? No reply was forthcoming. There were none.

Exactly the same applies here. If anyone is to believe what the Yoda stunt double has said he needs to come up with an example of a changed regulation or standard which can actually be implemented and make any improvement to anyone.

If I am making cars mainly to export to the EU why should I add cost to manufacture for the UK product just because the British want it differently?

You probably wouldn't - and that would be your choice.

You'll get what are given. Don't you get it? Honestly. LOL

No one is forcing you to export to the UK. If it's not worth the candle, dont do it.


Someone else will.

If I am making cars mainly to export to the EU why should I add cost to manufacture for the UK product just because the British want it differently? I'm not going to do it unless forced. And why would the British people want a different standard anyway? Were not the EU standards good enough? Are we going to see an improvement in standards or is it a watering down of standards? To whose benefit?

Come on chimps! Think better.

Rules and regulations very from country to country.

As does taste, styles etc.


Manufacturing and especially exporters will adjust to suit the local market.


What is so difficult to understand?

John Redwood@johnredwoodLondon has twice as many businesses per 1000 people as much of the rest of the country. The budget needs to remove obstacles and offer help through lower taxes and easier set ups to encourage more businesses outside the capital.

ROBERT POLATAJKO 17 Jan 2020 10:35PM£15 billion annual EU contributions. £90 billion annual trade deficit with the EU.70% fishing grounds lost to the EU, opportunity cost £5 billion a year.£10 billion annual CAP opportunity cost.They tell us what to do with climate change, environment rules,business rules, vat.They tell us who to let into our country from the EU , costing us billions through low wage, low skill immigration of their unemployed to us.They tell us how to apply trade tariffs and regulations, for their benefit,not our benefit yet they get instant and easy access to the City.We plough money into the European Investment Bank and they tell us when we leave we can whistle for our investment.They want to replace nato yet we help them with military support and intelligence..Did we get any benefit from Eu membership?We will certainly benefit from organising our economy for our benefit.

And I like the Queen.And Boris is great.The EUSSR is puke

The story of the motor industry over the past couple of decades has been seen as the shining exception to Britain's manufacturing collapse. Now it is suddenly going to turn round and go the same way as coal, steel, shipbuilding, textiles and the rest. Those who hoped that giving Johnson a big majority would enable him to defy the ERG have deceived themselves. The impact will be fearful. The regions who voted for Brexit cannot say they were not warned.

Bolsover, prepare ye!

I see Aston Martin are doing well!

Guffaw! Guffaw!

Like Javid.Let's kick the EUSSR out of the UK.Remember to keep boycotting goods and product of the EUSSR

[minerve 2] 19/1/2020 12:59

We now have a new name for Yoda's stunt double: Un-savvy Javvy!

"Businesses need to adjust."

"What adjustments should they make?"

"We don't know yet."

"When should they make them?"

"Now."

ROFLMAO!

[minerve 2] 19/1/2020 12:52

If all countries in the EU accept the standards why can't a British person?

Are we gods that demand to be different?

It seems acceptable to most but not to the few? I wonder why?

The imperialist pedestal of old still exists but it is only imaginary in the heads of nutters.

"Those companies exporting to the EU will need to continue to follow EU regulations but those that don't will not. What's difficult to understand about that, Minerve?"


Great. Wonderful.

What benefit?

[patientcapital] 19/1/2020 12:43

Regardless of political pronunciations there is no case to be made for any UK manufacturer diverging from international standards if it results in loss on market. Common sense.

[grahamite2] 19/1/2020 12:38

Those companies exporting to the EU will need to continue to follow EU regulations but those that don't will not. What's difficult to understand about that, Minerve? It will be no different from the special regulations for car exports to the US. No reason to hamstring producers selling to the domestic market or other overseas markets.

90% of the problems the remoaner fanatics come up with prove, on examination, to be illusory.

[minerve 2] 19/1/2020 12:37

Patient

If the EU says their cars have to be made this way that is it! It is an EU rule and you can patch it up however you like to the chimps it still remains an EU rule! LOL

[alphorn] 19/1/2020 12:37

jacko #003. We are on different sides of the coin on this topic.

It is not letting the competition set the rules - rather selling to your customer what they require.

Eg. No prescription drugs may be sold into a market unless they comply and are accepted by that market's rules - no matter what the seller might say.

I agree with your sentiments about going into a negotiation btw. It is just that someone at Javid's level should be smarter. I expect that he must be candidate to go.
