Jaguar Land Rover warns 'bad' Brexit deal could threaten £80bn investment in UK ahead of key Cabinet talks

[Brian Gaff]

Of course they do, join the club. Surrey Satellite, Bmw Airbus, Jaguar and the list continues. You don't make an omelette without breaking eggs. I would have thought anyone who thought we could just walk away from Europe with no down side was living in some kind of alternate reality. I actually feel Edward Heath was correct. Being part of Europe even if it costs money and even if it tends to lose a little independence is a good thing. The problem was, in his day he could not have foreseen the unification of Germany, and the clamour for the poor countries left homeless by a crumbling soviet Union who wanted in. The folk who thought it meant no more wars if we are all together had a point of course, but expecting such diverse economies and standards or living and cultures to work together without some kind of drain on the richer nations was stupid.

What does the future hold? Well there is nobody who knows, so we just have to go with the flow. Brian

Not so long ago the UK was known as the poor man of Europe. Countries go up and down. Who knows where the ex Soviet countries will be in the future? Eire and others have certainly turned themselves round pretty quickly.

I'd have thought you'd be against 3% corp tax rates for multi-nationals, allowing them to say "but we pay all the tax we're asked for"?

[Tim Watts]

Eire are probably *the* success story of the EU - they took the dosh and made a good go of it.

Pity a few other countries didn't :(

[Archibald Tarquin Blenkinsopp]

Sorry to disagree, but they did know, Davis, Fox, Gove and even that clueless upstart from Wetherspoons were all full of confidence and after Brexit, we will just have a afew formalities, of course that is, that the pleas from the Germans to sell em car bits doesn't tie up too many phone lines.

So why then are THEY so worried about the boarder with Northern Ireland after Brexit?

[harry]

The instigators of the EUSSR knew exactly what the ultimate plan was. A new Fourth Reich. Like any empire it has to constantly expand to get cheap labour (Eastern Eu rope). Or import cheap labour.

The EUSSR exists for the benefit of the rich, not the masses. The rich nee ds cheap labour and a compliant population. Which is why they now want a Eu ro-army, to repress internal dissent. Plus a high speed railway to transport the army about.

[harry]

They took OUR dosh. The EUSSR has NO money.

[harry]

The difficulties are entirely being created by the EUSSR. To discourage other potential leavers.

[Dave Plowman (News)]

Good grief. harry advocating socialism. Whatever next?

[Dave Plowman (News)]

harry speaking for everyone again. Except the EU, obviously.

Over half the countries in Europe are unable to trade effectively because they don't have independent exchange rates. The E.U was designed to entangle nations so they could never leave and, by that process, ensure peace. Ironically it could just as easily lead to war.

He believed it would prevent future wars in Europe but now the USSR feels threatened by it so good luck with that. Now one country is attempting it the E.U nations will make sure we fail to prosper. Economic sabotage plain and simple.

[Cursitor Doom]

They even went on record saying it! They cannot have a country leaving and enjoying any prosperity and/or better quality of life as a result, that much is self evident. A default *no deal* approach by our side is by far the best way of ensuring such tactics fail. Unfortunately, however, we have Theresa the Appeaser who appears to be only too happy to betray us to the Fascist scum in Brussels.
