Quite. I'm sure Trump is quaking in his boots. But why does it need a country to complain to the WTO when its rules are plainly broken? Or is it just the toothless tiger it appears to be?
But then I don't understand Bexiteers. Let's not be controlled by the EU where we are an equal member. Let's be controlled by the toothless WTO, where absolutely no one polices it effectively against the likes of Trump.
Nice morph, dumb answer.
Last time I checked, BMW were German owned, so it's not decided by "us lot".
but they have to charge all nations that same lower amount
Have you been asleep with Dave when we previous discussed this

JLR are in a bit of trouble because a) they are heavily dependent on diesel engines and b) their main export market, China is in suspense as everyone is awaiting the promised drop in import tariffs. Their best selling models currently are the E-Pace and the Discovery Sport. The latter's production is due to move to Slovakia anyway regardless of Brexit. Both these models are suffering in the UK because of their high co2 emissions meaning the punitive taxes on business cars puts people off. Their SUV hybrid is based on the F-Pace and comes in at about ?70k. Some arse covering going on here I think.

So you don't want workers wages to rise.
So another remainer who wants to live on the backs of low wage workers.
On the other hand, it is much easier for the UK outside the EU to do a trade deal with an individual country than it is for the EU, because every single country in the EU has a veto on every single detail of the deal. That isnt the case with the UK and plenty of the old commonwealth countries which got an obscene gesture from the UK when it joined the EEC will be quite happy to return to the deal they used to have instead of having their imports into the UK slugged with tariffs that are there to protect very inefficient EU producers of those goods.
Not yet. WTO action of the flouting of WTO rules takes time.
The you lot was talking about the EU, not the UK.
ITYM those nations who decide to do what they say. Not China, US, Canada, Mexico. And I'm sure a few more besides.
Been increased recently, has it?
Remind us what you thought of that nice Mr Scargill wanting to increase coal workers pay?
You may have to use your other face to answer that one.
Jagiar lanbd rover are in fact booming
He might have at one time, but not now he's not working.
DP supports the politics of envy.
That nice Mr Scargill successfully increased miners pay.
Then he decided to overthrow an elected government and was met with whatever was needed to ensure he couldn't.
Maybe worthwhile if doing interstellar mileage, but the last 20 years doing up to 20k miles (less the last couple) I've found it easier and cheaper to own the car personally and claim at the AMAP rates.
Given that in recent years, car tax (both BIK and VED) have moved to be CO2 based, the nasty little sting they've added recently is an extra £310/year based on the list price of the car, purely on a "well you can afford it" basis ...
I suppose if you say it, must be true. You've learned well from Trump. And good to see you in bed with bert. You deserve one another.
Someone has to pay for the Tory income tax cuts to the best off. Why not the motorist?
