She agreed to a backstop and all that implies. Not a time limited one either.

 

I've been saying since the GE the Ireland situation is insoluble with the present parliamentary composition. I've been proved right and it is still the biggest obstacle to the WA. That's why I'm not as optimistic as Gloom. I just can't see any way past it. 

 

Listen, you said she’d agreed to a border down the Irish Sea. She hasn’t. 

 

As for your waffle about the fudge fudge in December, I suggest you re-read the 3 paragraphs on the backstop as she doesn’t agree to it there either.

 

As for your last point, we haven’t had the vote yet so you haven’t been proved right on that either.

 

I suggest a couple of paracetamol and an early night x

Ford warn that a Canada style deal will be disastrous for it. This the deal favoured by CT.

Well done for finding a link this time.

 

He actually says in the link “a no deal Brexit would be disasterous”. Extra tarrifs would be their red line.

Although a similar UK-Canada arrangement "would allow tariff-free trade, it would still involve border checks - and would upset the just-in-time delivery model used by the company in Europe", he said.

Mr Armstrong has made it clear he thinks a "Canada-style deal" with the EU will not cut the mustard either. This is a proposal favoured by many opponents of the prime minister's plans - a free trade deal modelled on the one the EU already has with Canada, with some extra benefits added on.

The concern for Ford is that while such a deal might allow products to cross borders without tariffs being applied, it would still involve customs checks. That's not a major problem when you're sending cars and parts across the Atlantic - immediacy isn't necessary.

But within Europe, manufacturers rely on "just-in-time" delivery, with fleets of lorries carrying parts from across the continent exactly when they are needed. Even minor delays at customs would upset this model. The industry wants "frictionless" trade, with no border checks at all

 

You've got to learn to read past the headline tubs.

:lol: Your headlines you mean.

 

Nice deflection. You've insisted that a CETA style deal is Okay for the British automobile industry, contrary to the claims of the CEOs of all of the affected companies, with the latest one being Ford.

 

Have you learned what the single market is yet and why we need to be in it if we want to keep JiT supply chains operational? Oh, that's right, you think all the suppliers will set up shop here. How about you give a link to support that claim?

What if you're wrong CT?

Either he's wrong or every fucking expert in the industry is. Bear in mind, Canada is an extreme hard Brexit at the bottom of Barniers step diagram. At what stage did this even become remotely acceptable? It doesn't even include services.

Wrong about what? Brexit?

 

Thats democracy. What if all those who want Corbyns Labour to replace the Conservatives are wrong?

 

If Brexit went wrong it leads to lower GDP and some job losses, if Corbyn borrows Billions, Mis manages the finances and turns us into Venezuela we’re all queuing up for rotting meat to feed our kids.

:lol: And I’m deflecting!!!

 

Why not just post as things are other than typing blatant lies :lol: (yesterday and today).

 

Much easier way of discussing politics.

If they're wrong about Corbyn then they get to vote him out in five years time.

But our trade with the EU is shrinking and 95% of future growth will be outside the EU. Why on Earth tie ourselves to a sinking ship. (Especially when the financial crisis of Greece and Italy is about to cause even more problems).

Love the notion that having to adhere to the result of a plebiscite forever is democratic. Even better when the example to support that is a general election, which takes place roughly every four years. CT at his unwitting best

Hows changing the government going in Venezuela?

 

If Brexit is the disaster Renton fears then we could rejoin the EU.

We're not Venezuela, we never will be. You know that very well.

So what you're saying is that we're already trading very successfully with non-EU countries while being part of the EU?
