Brexit, for once some facts.

[flecc]

Just four years ago annual car sales surged to 2.63m. Car production was heading back to levels not seen for decades, I wonder how many we will be making in say another 4 years.

Why would anyone invest in the UK when tariffs and border delays could cause chaos?

We're down to around 2 million now and still falling.

Hungary also makes 2 million cars for the EU each year, with a population roughly equal to London's and one sixth of the UK's. They make them far more cheaply.

and give everybody a piece of wood to bite on

More likely patients will be advised to bring a piece of wood when booking in.

Was that one of your instructions then flecc. I find leather belting far more appropriate, no splintering. Wood can mean a trip to dentist and thats a whole new level of pain, unless you are Dustin Hoffman or JA..

Nothing needed. Pain is much exaggerated these days, just see the huge fuss people make about having an injection, looking away, yelps, screwed up faces and fists clenched. Kids are even worse, often sobbing or screaming.

Yet those same people will pick blackberies and just wince when a thorn stabs them, despite that being more painful due to the toxin on rose family thorns.

In my experience, people will be expected to bring their own pieces of wood but it will be someone else's responsibility to advise of this. If done at all, it will likely be on a small notice that you can only see after trying to book in - if you have excellent eyesight.

that reminds me of the Notice on the wall of the "Memory Clinic" when my wife was first diagnosed with mixed dementia, it began "Don't Forget we offer the following services"

So you want us to be like Hungary?

You sure about that?

Let me begin by saying my preference would be that the Tory Party be declared a Proscribed organisation and shut down this appears to describe the state of play

That is staggeringly ill-considered.

Do you? are you sure?

 

[oldgroaner]

That is staggeringly ill-considered.

I managed to make sure while we were waiting for the appointment my wife was facing away from the notice.

Why are you repeating everything I post?

I mean copy and pasting The Mail and Express is one thing but this?

You are a very strange old man.

From that thread: A clean managed Brexit sounds about as plausible as a drive-through colonoscopy.

(Without anaesthetic or sedation, of course.)

Just pointing out your repeated attempts to put words into other peoples mouths, you are simply stirring it again aren't you?

You thought if fair to ask

And i think it's fair to ask you
"Do you? are you sure?

What is your problem with that?

"passeth understanding"

what is the scale? 4 out of 10? 20? 100?
there is so little between the 10 candidates, half a point between the best and the worst.
By the way, nearly all of them offer free money and brexit.

What is a Clean Managed Exit.
There is no EU Parliament.There is no EU subcommittee on Withdrawal agreements,or Future Arrangements. These will not be reconsituted until after the EU Parliament is again functional. Then there is no EU Commission ..They are in wind down mode. So with whomever will he be negotiating?. .. oh if course ,The House of Parliament. ....
But they are not the EU!.

What is a Clean Managed Exit.

The acceptable face of "crash out without a deal". (They hope it is acceptable but I rather suspect most of us can see right through it as just newspeak for it.)
