Good grief don't you ever stop insulting those who did not vote for Brexit? as most reasoned rational adults can debate in a rational adult conversation without throwing insults and brickbats all the time at each other unless you think otherwise?..

Too subtle for you to grasp eh Den? The post is written in a manner that shows the pointlessness of persistent remoan bleating for bleating's sake and the kind of response it engenders.

As a anti-tory,
Way to go May, this is the Brexit we need.
Can you see Germany NOT come running to sell us their cars.

In fairness engines are easier to replace from a different producer. They would end up with an inferior product though.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
Most, probably all, Airbus aircraft can be specified with GE engines rather than Rolls Royce.

Correct. They can't do that with wings though, that takes time and investment of a few million. Production would have to be halted for a couple of years while they got someone else to tool up for it, settle contracts etc.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
How many wings do we make? Tariffs aren't a big deal unless you're doing it in bulk. A 3% at most is not much for a few items, even if those items are expensive, it's the mass import of parts that can be the problem. 3% soon adds up.
I think the traditional movement of goods will be easily arranged anyway. It's services that will be the big sticking point.

Nailed it.
The common market of 500m consumers helped countries to specialise in what they're good at. For the UK, that's the service industry which serves the whole of the EU. Hence why Theresa May is open to a transitional arrangement so that service sector companies can reduce their operations in the UK and grow them in the EU27...over time, not over night. Such arrangements will be of benefit to both the UK and the EU27.

I'm sorry it was closed but the site administrators received too many complaints that people had blank screens when they opened that thread.

Over 1000 wings per year, that's only a "few" aircraft though.

I see your point. In the 90 minutes or so of its live existence you could have filled in the blanks with reams of your endless tripe
Ah well, I can enjoy your continuing efforts here to save face .

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
The french and the germans have been trying to lure company's out of the city of london for a longtime it's not a new thing because we voted to leave the EU. The sticking point has always been the infrastructure to operate at the level london does both the french and german governments believe the bulk of the infrastructure cost be on the companys that will benefit from it and those companys want it in place beforehand. I'm not overly concerned at this point of a mass evacuation from london to the continent or even within the next ten years or so although I'm sure some operations may move to the continent but the bulk will continue within london.
How anyone can have read the leaving process and thought for one second we could maintain access to the single market is beyond me it's made very clear that leaving the EU means out of the single market but so many remain supporters seemed to think there was going to be a magical deal. Only way they could think that is either 1, they haven't actually read the whole thing or 2, read and completely misinterpreted the meaning of the process either way I won't be taking details from them as fact anytime soon.
