surely.....this cloud is supposed to be a net benefit to the UK as whole, that's why the Government is doing it. if its just a "silver lining" then its not going to be a net benefit and therefore shouldn't be done, just because it happened to be a popular dream one day in June 2016.

agreed, and it won't just be motor brands. I know of many companies that have their HQ's in the UK simply to access the single market. It won't make any financial / business sense to stay in the UK. They will all have their HQ's inside the Single Market and export from there back into the UK...

more problems coming home to roost. http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/car-news/102621/vehicle-certification-agency-to-lose-powers-after-brexit

But... and its a big BUT. Not wanting something, and needing to have something is very different. 1 and 2 not wanting checks does not mean that they won't have to have them if 3 pulls 2 out of the customs union / single market. There is simply no way to avoid them. 3 and the EU will have to...

point proven... "take back control" is a) 3 words... and b) a total nonsense, based on the fact that we never lost contol. This is why Brexit will fail. because it can't deliver impossible dreams. The experts know it can't be sorted, no matter how popular it might be. Just like if we voted...

You do realise the EU doesn't want us to leave don't you? They don't want border checks. The issue is we want to leave... and I think the phrase was "control our borders" wasn't it? Its pretty pointless to want to just control some of the border. I'm shocked that so many who voted leave...

WE HAVE NEVER GIVEN UP OUR SOVEREIGNTY, or even shared it! Have you not realised this yet! As we keep saying, what Brexit is about... is nonsense, pedalled by fear mongers playing on ignorance. The hopes of the leave voters can't be delivered because they never lost control, so they can't...

really... you're still using the "taking back control" line.

Yes, we have a channel, but if you change the word channel to account... and its sorted. Your channel could easily be switch to one where you have to pay to upload videos, until you're at a certain level. Like eBay shops, it'll come - where you're paying more as a small guy.

You don't have to be able to share, to be able to watch content. They could easily stop you posting (for free), without stopping you watching.

very true, but it doesn't need to have happened for its impacts to be felt.

taken from one of the trade forums, just now: " Getting back on track, I've just heard that Copenhagen Bicycle Kompany (just outside of Tunbridge Wells) has closed. It's a real shame as it had a niche in the market but the (former) owner told me that the impact of Brexit was too much to bear. "

I've had to halve our margin, cut marketing spend. Cancel plans to take on a new apprentice, pull out of the Cycle Show for 2018, and we didn't do Bike Place this month. I cancelled a holiday over Christmas and I don't have a 2018 bike myself. So believe me I'm very much not championing...

You've made a number of assumptions based on my comments, too many for me to have time to pick them all out and quote them individually. But, some things I think you might need to be aware of. KTM, like Porshe are very much NOT top of the luxury items in their categories in terms of price...

No no no no no. I'm not saying Brexit is a reason for a historical decline in the High Street. I'm saying its one of the reasons for it getting worse, and its a big part of the sudden increase in decline over the past 12 months. I know this for a fact, because we supply shops that are...

Yes, it just depends how much the brand wants to make in margin, how much the distributor if there is one, wants to make, and then how much margin the retailer is given. Cube in the UK come in via the Dutch distributor I think, so they have a number of suppliers in the chain, so there is scope...

Nope... its all the EU brands.

well a) the internet hasn't changed in the last 12 months has it? "According to the Q4 2017 RICS UK Commercial Property Market Survey demand for retail property fell for the third consecutive quarter, down 22%." But hey, that doesn't fit your narrative does it? and b) .... if only it was that...

its all going so well in't it. https://www.retailsector.co.uk/2434-retail-property-demand-six-year-low/

I didn't produce the graph, but yes I'm assuming they've factored that in when they say its "based on the 2011 values". Also to put it all in context if you look at the % of global output it removes any actual numbers. From the same source. So we've bounced around at about 4% of the worlds...
