Surfer 1,547 Posted October 28, 2020 (edited) Get used to the daily spin. This Government's ministers have no intention of becoming competent at their jobs, but we shouldn't let them get away with this gaslighting. The very best you could say is "wow that's some trade - our car industry for soy sauce" and then it's pointed out the Soy sauce we use in the UK is produced in Wales and Holland. Which makes total sense, why would you transport such a generic foodstuff all the way from Japan anyway? The real question for Liz should be - what's the tariff on American and Brazilian Soy beans?

With over half a million jobs lost the answer is the UK, trading with tariffs will also make the future worse. The next highest is Germany but they'll be able to trade tariff free with the rest of the EU so their burden is spread over 27 countries. Also, those figures are from June 2019, the world has changed a great deal since then. Edited October 29, 2020 by A Load of Squit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

horsefly 4,273 Posted October 29, 2020 Only an intellectual **** would post something that shows the UK stands to lose 526,830 jobs from a no-deal Brexsh*t, and claims that as a triumph. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surfer 1,547 Posted October 29, 2020 And this map perfectly sums up the influence the UK has on the smaller European countries. We were a natural leader of them as a counter balance to France / Germany. Then we trash their economic health through the idiocy of no-deal Brexit? It's unforgivable.

Kris Hudson-Lee Local Guide ・190 reviews a day ago The sunlit uplands have never looked so grim. Went in the fine dining continental restaurant and found it full of bald blokes with fat necks pointing at pictures of chips & egg. The toilets were disgusting, but the "Gentleman's Magazines" took up five whole shelves in the gift shop.

Depends on what kind of cars they deal with (pardon the pun). Merc's and Audi's will be ga-rarge I might imagine. But given that local guide maybe the former. Lots of wonderful opportunities for TripAdvisor reviews I'm sure. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
How I Wrote Elastic Man 1,180 Posted October 29, 2020 The Daily Express.... Brexit deal dead in the water Then quotes "EU chief Ursula von der leyen said "good progress" is being made in the trade talks." In my opinion, this tells you all you need to know about this comic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SwindonCanary 455 Posted October 30, 2020 BORIS JOHNSON has just one day left to respond to the European Union's threat of legal action against the UK Government. This already happened once before and the courts threw it out. The treaty talks about laws, this is a "proposed" law. It hasn't gone through the legislative process yet. There's nothing to sue over, the EU jumped the gun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
