Brexit eh?
We've just spent 5 years at war with each other, devalued the £ by 20%, savaged our economy, quit the world's largest free trade zone, created a mountain of red tape & flushed £200bn down the drain to 'control our borders'. 6 EU states just did it in 24 hours with a press release

Peter Barnes15 Dec 2020 1:16PMHere's a list of UK Companies that have been transferred to other countries using EU grants. Anyone who thinks the EU is good for British industry or any other business simply hasn't paid attention to what has been systematically asset-stripped from the UK.Cadbury moved factory to Poland 2011 with EU grant.Ford Transit moved to Turkey 2013 with EU grant.Jaguar Land Rover has recently agreed to build a new plant in Slovakia with EU grant, owned by Tata, the same company who have trashed our steel works and emptied the workers pension funds.Peugeot closed its Ryton (was Rootes Group) plant and moved production to Slovakia with EU grant.British Army's new Ajax fighting vehicles to be built in SPAIN using SWEDISH steel at the request of the EU to support jobs in Spain with EU grant, rather than Wales.Dyson gone to Malaysia, with an EU loan.Crown Closures, Bournemouth (Was METAL BOX), gone to Poland with EU grant, once employed 1,200.M&S manufacturing gone to far east with EU loan.Hornby models gone. In fact all toys and models now gone from UK along with the patents all with with EU grants.Gillette gone to eastern Europe with EU grant.Texas Instruments Greenock gone to Germany with EU grant.Indesit at Bodelwyddan Wales gone with EU grant.Sekisui Alveo said production at its Merthyr Tydfil Industrial Park foam plant will relocate production to Roermond in the Netherlands, with EU funding.Hoover Merthyr factory moved out of UK to Czech Republic and the Far East by Italian company Candy with EU backing.ICI integration into Holland's AkzoNobel with EU bank loan and within days of the merger, several factories in the UK, were closed, eliminating 3,500 jobs.Boots sold to Italians Stefano Pessina who have based their HQ in Switzerland to avoid tax to the tune of £80 million a year, using an EU loan for the purchase.JDS Uniphase run by two Dutch men, brought up companies in the UK with £20 million in EU 'regeneration' grants, created a pollution nightmare and just closed it all down leaving 1,200 out of work and an environmental clean-up paid for by the UK tax-payer. They also raided the pension fund and drained it dry.UK airports are owned by a Spanish company.Scottish Power is owned by a Spanish company.Most London buses are run by Spanish and German companies.The Hinkley Point C nuclear power station to be built by French company EDF, part owned by the French government, using cheap Chinese steel that has catastrophically failed in other nuclear installations. Now EDF say the costs will be double or more and it will be very late even if it does come online.Swindon was once our producer of rail locomotives and rolling stock. Not any more, it's Bombardier in Derby and due to their losses in the aviation market, that could see the end of the British railways manufacturing altogether even though Bombardier had EU grants to keep Derby going which they diverted to their loss-making aviation side in Canada.39% of British invention patents have been passed to foreign companies, many of them in the EU.The Mini cars that Cameron stood in front of as an example of British engineering, are built by BMW mostly in Holland and Austria. His campaign bus was made in Germany even though we have Plaxton, Optare, Bluebird, Dennis etc., in the UK. The bicycle for the Greens was made in the far east, not by Raleigh UK but then they are probably going to move to the Netherlands too as they have said recently.Name one major technology company still running in the UK, I used to contract out to many, then the work just dried up as they were sold off to companies from France, Germany, Holland, Belgium, etc., and now we don't even teach electronic technology for technicians any more, due to EU regulations.I haven't detailed our non-existent fishing industry the EU paid to destroy, nor the farmers being paid NOT to produce food they could sell for more than they get paid to do nothing, don't even go there.I haven't mentioned what it costs us to be asset-stripped like this, nor have I mentioned immigration, nor the risk to our security if control of our armed forces is passed to Brussels or Germany....

cheshire - that was a particularly nasty post.

How many of your relatives are still in France under a cross; how many of your relatives had awards for bravery; how many of your relatives were born in a concentration camp?

You should be ashamed of yourself.

[cheshire pete] 21/12/2020 10:05

.....other than most of our manufacturing....

This is highly significant though josh as it was aided by EU grants making it attractive for manufacturers to re-locate to mainland Europe.

...and our leaders sat by and watched it happen. Thank goodness we had Farage to wake everyone up to the reality.

Would not buy French wine now. Even if you paid me.No DealWTOLiberty

The EU we joined was group of nations that were similar economies and living standards to us and we did not lose a lot other than most of our manufacturing but the EU we're trying to escape from is a group of 27 nations in which at least half are bankrupt corrupt failed states which will need financial assistance for at least the next ten years or until they are actually responsible western style democracies

Patriotism timeless Alphorn, not here today gone tomorrow. Our people died protecting us from German tyranny.

[scruff1] 21/12/2020 09:48

Interesting point by one epidemiologist. The govts advisors are scientists. Scientists are supposed to analyse the results of their experiments. Lockdowns dont work and cases have grown after each one. They are ignoring their results.

[alphorn] 21/12/2020 09:45

cheshire - don't be so touchy. We are in 2020 and soon 2021 if you have not noticed.

[cheshire pete] 21/12/2020 09:42

Dad's army ....no problem with that Alphorn, after all the Home Guard was made up of patriots prepared to do whatever was needed to fight off the Germans.

Resurrect the same spirit now to fight off the EU.

[cheshire pete] 21/12/2020 09:37

....well then careful, how about considering the best case scenario just for once in your life.

[paddyfool] 21/12/2020 09:37

All posturing ahead of a deal......I hope!

This has become the Dad's army thread.

easeddy: do you actually believe in UK? Sounds like you don't to me. Another ex-pat?

[cheshire pete] 21/12/2020 09:10

EU has shown its true colours yet again. No deal. Freedom from EU priceless and worth any amount of short term disruption.

Unpatriotic BBC and their broadcasters need to be taken to task.
