Let us have a full list of MPs (and others in the public eye) who suggest that no-deal is a viable option.

Bank of England says no-deal Brexit would be worse than 2008 crisis

Bank warns of immediate economic crash, GDP to fall by 8%, unemployment to rise to 7.5%

Mark Carney has never had a prediction come right. He's a stooge.

And it's all my fault for starting this thread.

Just as well there is no heaven since I'd never get in after this. :(

Never mind flecc I have it on good authority that hell isn't as warm as a good English Pub on a winter night.
Because you can't get near to the fire for Clergymen....

I daresay they 'admit they're stupid' for fear of upsetting the boss as he rants on about remaining.

You should use this time to find other markets. When I was in New York recently every other bike was electric. Huge market there. Th world isn't just 27 countries to the right of us.

Try and have an open mind and this may even work out to be a positive thing.

I will ignore the obvious troll intro.
I am sure you are aware that Trump has just put 25% import tariff on all Chinese imported bikes,the EU has put between 37%-84% anti dumping duty on Chinese-EU (incl U.K.),not to mention that moving bikes around the world is not cheap,difficult to see how a U.K. seller would be competitive in the USA.
Actually I am currently working on a launch of helical lsd’s to suit classic vehicles into the USA,these diffs based upon the Torsten system,2 are used in every Audi Quattro. You can view the whole range on my website Rally Design,Blackline differentials.
I don’t have any problems currently selling to the rest of the world including the USA,just don’t see how Brexit is going to help.
Fingers.....what is your profession?

Project fear in da house.

Carney gives good face time.

Personally I think Carney has overdone it,even if we crash out I am sure some bodge deal will be conducted to keep the ferries moving,the planes flying and some vat/zero tariff deal to avoid disruption.
The big problem is if just in time is disrupted then big assemblers including the auto assemblers will be tempted to move to a less problematic environment-I guess Hammond will reduce Corporation Tax to 10% to keep them here-bet Corbyn will love that!
I am surprised so many Nissan workers risked 8000 jobs and 30000 sub contract jobs and voted Leave. The social strife in Sunderland could be violent between Remainers and Leavers.

Labour’s position on Brexit is shifting.
McDonnel said today that if May’s deal is voted down-seems likely
Then they would push for a GE-unlikely
Then they would support a people’s vote-inevitable.
But I suppose we have to go through the motions-ask Boris he knows all about motions!,why wait and start the referendum now,we might just get it in before March 28,giving us one day to pull Art 50.

Boris has been tweeting again

The British economic establishment always gets it wrong. Wrong about joining the ERM, wrong about leaving it, wrong about joining the Euro, wrong about Project Fear after the referendum. They can't forecast six months out - why should we believe them over 15 years?

Well done Boris.so now you think we should have joined the Euro do you?
