No, no events today, it was just the weekly lesson. As for fox hunting, who knows? You’ll have to wait and see, and when it happens I know who’ll be the first person to appear all excited to stalk me again

It's really, really funny how you've only started gobbing off on this thread since we officially left the E.U. What's the problem ? Can't take it ? As for the increasingly desperate comments you're now making in order to get a response you can use to fuel your anger, well you're going to be disappointed, pal. No one really cares.
So carry on flying the flag for revenge, anger, name calling and accusations. Your'e just a sad loser hiding behind his keyboard .
You won't be coming up with evidence of me calling for Jews to be gassed, because like most of your statements, its just made up crap, designed to create all round ill feeling and hatred, the very thing you and like to accuse those who voted Brexit of.
You've clearly got to feed off your mates on here because you are quite insecure. Perhaps you just need to grown up a bit.
We've left the E.U.
You clearly can't cope with not getting your way, even though its been coming for a very long time. You're a bit old for tantrums and raking up hatred so here, have some smiley faces:smuggrin::smuggrin::smuggrin::smuggrin::smuggrin::smuggrin::smuggrin::smuggrin:.

I have no intention of reading all that nonsense. Have a pleasant evening, what’s left of it, and I hope you wake up feeling good knowing another £50m has been ploughed into the NHS and another brilliant trade deal has been lined up. Now go find someone else to follow around who’s interested in your xenophobic, incoherent right wing claptrap

You just can't accept losing and it's eating away at you. Hence the overused references to racism etc. You're going over and over the same old stuff in the vain hope i will get angry but you're wasting your time.
You lost the referendum and you need to hit out at everyone because its finally happened. How sad you are. Face up to it , accept it and move on, otherwise you'll be spitting nails on this thread for the next few years.

Nissan denied having made such a plan, however, and said its Sunderland plant would be under threat along with its European operations if the UK fails to ensure tariff-free access to the EU market. Following the UK’s departure from the EU on Friday, both sides are expected to set out their negotiating positions on Monday before trade talks next month.

A Nissan spokesman said on Monday: “We deny such a contingency plan exists. We’ve modelled every possible ramification of Brexit and the fact remains that our entire business both in the UK and in Europe is not sustainable in the event of WTO [World Trade Organisation] tariffs.

Do you reckon Brexit will be good or bad for the U.K. car industry?

Ten years time will we be making more or less cars here?

I guess because according to them they think it will be bad for business. Ultimately thats one dimension where nobody can know until it happens, the only thing you can go on is who has moved away/ is moving. To that end in 'my area', financial services, I do know that since the vote 29 financial services companies have already moved from UK to Dublin, and its predicted about 7,000 jobs will go from UK to Dublin. Dublin is highest in the 'relocation' league (Barclays alone put over £2bn into Dublin as opposed to London), followed by Luxembourg (25 companies) and Frankfurt (24). It was genuinely a field day for EU countries picking up UK offices of major companies, I've even seen 'hit lists' of companies that are targeted to get to move away from UK.

edit- and I chuckle when all the companies make announcements and immediately there is a huge chorus of "yes but its nothing to do with brexit"- brexit won, its going to happen, own it & accept the implications, and move on with doing something to avoid loads of people losing their jobs instead of pointing fingers- and that does not involve spending millions on coins, teatowels and blue passports.

Because a multi trading block makes their lives easier

Uk as a standalone customer is still hugely significant. It is far more profitable than most European markets and critically for funding of purchase if a company has its own in house finance company

So there is an inevitability that any all marques in the Far East will have some manufacturing here. Korea especially because of the unique trading arrangement - we are the biggest customer in Europe for them I think

So it will present opportunities

The Nissan leaked reports are really just ways of the automative industry applying pressure on governments in an “or else” scenario unless you agree a trade deal that has smooth flow of goods and services

The JLR business has moved into Europe as while in Europe they can lower cost base and benefit from currency equalisation at the uk expense

When you say you know about the financial services it’s actually a report in the Irish Times from September last year and is an estimated impact analysis not a reality.

Its also a fact, as stated the 7,000 total jobs is a prediction and we could if you like go with the Financial Times which estimates 13,000 jobs. Either way, 29 companies already moved to Dublin alone- done deals, already happened. A reality.

Like I said, nobody knows the endgame and in the interests of impartiality I worked for a Chinese (manufacturing) company in the midlands, and the owners didn't give a damn about brexit- but as I said above, you voted for it- own it instead of pretending its all a big scare story & not reality- it is reality.

The area of concern brexit will provide for JLR is Korea as it sells 15,000 or so cars a year there - that was always a red flag for the company as its highly profitable and part of the European FTA and has really strict import policies.

Again I think common sense will have to prevail as Korea automotive sales are big here. Admittedly though the Korean government is difficult
