'sink French fishing ships'...

I sometimes think that this thread is filled with National Front Members and Millwall supporters.

"Sky non news, news:
Rigby (£300k+) 3 months, and Burleigh (£600k+) 6 months, both said to be devastated at being suspendered on full pay"


Agreed. What a burden for them..What a strain.

They should have been suspended WITHOUT PAY, and their pay to have been donated to the British homeless and those small people fined for doing similar round the UK.

cereful - you should not just focus on the finished article (re cars). Ask yourself how many cars built in the UK use German produced engines, gearboxes and electrical parts.
We had a lunatic on here who was proposing that I should replace my ZF boxes in JLR products for some mickey mouse rubber band transmission built in the UK probably from an ex Post Office Bantam motorbike.

edit: G2 - remember those red ones?!

David James13 Dec 2020 11:16AM£1.2 trillion of EU trade is done on WTO terms by 142 nations. Far more than is done under EU FTAs.The U.K. will flourish on WTO terms. They will let the U.K. access global markets and do FTAs to suit the U.K., not to suit the EU.The EU will never willingly allow the U.K. a FTA as it must deter the others. The EU as Gorbachev said is 'recreating the Soviet Union in W Europe'. It is a mix of USSR and Mafia.EU threatens to cut off U.K. food and energy, starve NI as well as attacks on U.K. fishing boats. These are signals of war.The U.K. never acknowledged it but the EU has been at economic war with the U.K. for decades. In the 1990s City talk was of threats by Paris and Frankfurt to steal City business. The U.K. liberal Europhiles pretended it was fine for the U.K. to subsidise EU fishing, EU farmers, EU manufacturing and EU fat cats in Brussels luxury. Taking the costs from UK taxpayers, consumers and the north.The UK will flourish on WTO terms. Freedom from the EU parasite will be an uplifting boost for the UK.

Another straw man argument. You are good at those, keep it up! :)

G2 - Yes! The next several generations can talk about Brexit. ;))

I am flogging the German car makers argument, but we are at the point where a bit more detail is significant.

Not only do I believe that a 10% tariff can mostly be absorbed and the loss of business for German car makers, particularly luxury brands, would not be significant.

But there is an advantage for German car makers, which is probably the reason they have not complained about no deal.

The British car makers, Nissan, Totota, Jaguar, BMW Mini and and others are fearful of no deal.
If they lose out in the huge EU. car market, and some have admitted they may have to close production, it will create a great opportunity for German car makers.

No deal could in time be good for German car makers, Farage and his ignorance yet again causes terrible damage.

You could say the same of labour Min.

Tory party don't exist anymore, other than name.

This is the Nationalist Looney Party in charge.

[minerve 2] 13/12/2020 11:19

Maybe this will kill off the toxic Tory brand for good. This is all the result of their infighting. They can't hope to be re elected when the economy tanks. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

"oomed to failure and promoted by the socialists, of course."

Naturally, capitalists are perfect.

When France and Germany find out they will be bailing the Tin Pot countries out without our contributions they will be wishing they were given a referendum

Alphorn - my first thought was, how many here will have heard of the groundnut scheme? But then I realized we are probably all of an age to have been taught about it, even if the scheme itself was before our time.

Doomed to failure and promoted by the socialists, of course.
