Certainly not for the cost anyway Can you not just sell Spitfires instead? Quote

They need us more than we need them. their GDP (which I think is the accepted benchmark on here) is £19 trillion. Ours is £2.1trillion. We’ll shit ‘em. The world is our oyster now, or it could be a clam. Quote

China isn't going to be that cheap for ever. To be honest, it has already started to happen to an extent, as China is starting to get expensive. Production is moving to lower cost base places like Myanmar, Vietnam and The Philippines..... As you'd expect, its still Chinese companies, they're just building their factories in these new locations. China remains and will continue to be the centre for the techical stuff, low cost final assembly is will be what is farmed out. China owns that much stuff now and it so large, they can strangle any other location that tried to take their manufacturing "crown" Quote

To be fair, that would be the case irrespective of Brexit/the EU. The suggestion that the EU has been stifling British manufacturing though, that's simply the thinking of swivel eyed mongotroids. Yes, a British manufactured product has a good reputation, but that's not a guaranteed order. Quote

We've had numerous examples of this prior to and during the last round of negotiations. Then, as those MPs with knowledge and experience were proved right. Not sure what the point of all the posturing is. Shut the fuck up and get on with it. Better for all surely. This delusion is worrying. Nobody has been proven right - we caved to get a deal - Boris simply managed to play the game of calming dissenting voices over the same deal he'd said no Tory party could ever do. The idea that we achieved something people said was impossible is a nonsense. We caved on a deal and held a GE. Quote
bolty58 Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 I see the neggies haven't gone away yet. Just waiting and longing for some sort of failure. You'll be waiting for a very long time. Quote
Spider Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 Having just watched Terry Christian on the telly, I've changed my mind and would vote to leave the entire solar system if it meant that bellowing Mancunian skidmark was left to float endlessly through space. My God he's such a cunt. Quote

I've posted many times on this thread about MPs early in the piece describing in some detail how the EU would work. These same people were to an extent marginalised by TM. The only delusion is folk like you who are quick to jump down the throat of others without even having the decency to understand the point being made. Once again, go back and have a listen to David Davies. My point was simply a reference to the EU's method of working. Nothing more. But once again you look to inflate it into some grandiose, self righteous slagging off process. The rest of your bollocks isn't even worth replying to, except to say if we'd gone with no deal you'd also be slagging off the government for that. Bitter bile. Quote

The EU's way of working - how on earth has anyone been proven right? The EU have been consistent all the way through about the options for a deal. The UK kept rejecting all the options the EU said was possible - asking for something different. The EU said "no its one or the other or no deal". The UK backed down and took the "other" deal. I'm absolutely flabbergasted that anyone can pretend that vindicates Davis or anyone else. Quote
