    Up to 10,000 jobs in companies supplying luxury carmaker Jaguar are at risk if Britain Leaves the EU remains outside the euro.

    Does the expression 'heard it all before' ring any bells?

    p.s. Trump will win

    I've yet to encounter anyone over here who can explain WHY they would support Trump. It's all well and good doing a bit of trolling but let's have some argument and discussion.

    Why and in what ways would Donald Trump be a better POTUS not just for America but for the rest of the world than HRC ?

    Before the vote I was shot down for saying:

    "Any opportunities to produce new Nissan models will be given to non-UK plants until a trade deal is ironed out - too much uncertainty. Cue redundancies in Sunderland.
    No more EU regional funding - the Government can't even bring itself to give us a decent railway system and dual carriageways, they won't match what the EU has invested."

    Mr Gosn 'has previous' - from twelve years ago:

    Nissan may quit UK over euro
    Nissan's president chief executive, Carlos Ghosn, has repeated warnings that its Sunderland plant could lose production of one of its most important cars if Britain remains outside the euro.

    https://www.theguardian.com/business/2004/jan/07/motoring.theeuro
    Leaving behind a £2bn investment, and choosing to prioritise investment in other Nissan plants are two totally different things.
    Being, shall we say, 'unreliable' over the future of Nissan investment in the UK may be the same things......
    In all probability, we will have a free trade deal with the EU, and the Sunderland plant will continue to be Nissan's number one European plant.

    But, uncertainty over this is the killer. A pound of investment that goes to the Spanish plant rather than the British one never comes back.

    Morning Gin, they will have gone to their estates in the sun for the school holidays. You are correct that it has not been as interesting lately but on ebonus is many of teh swivel eyed ones would appear to be in Benidorm or similar so overall more pleasant.

    Except this is not a threat. It is an anouncement of a suspension of investment, pending knowing what the deal will be.

    I can't believe I'm having this argument with you.

    Right now, the management of Nissan does not know if Britain the EU will have a free trade agreement. The EU/EEA car market is 5x the size of the UK one. Until they know what relationship the UK will have with EU, of course they will hold off on investment decisions.

    Which line of that argument do you find contentious?

    I’m tempted to say that it shows how stupid Remainers are but perhaps it illustrates that different people have different priorities in life.

    What I find staggering is how small the differences are on that table.
    If you look at the graphs on the bbc link the difference in affordability is huge.

    @SeanT

    'Those Daily Mail reports on the Russell Square attack are pretty devastating.

    Recall how desperate everyone was - including some on here - to rule out terrorism/radicalisation. The Met practically ruled it out during the attack, while still managing to diagnose the knifeman as a Type 3 Paranoid Insomniac with Diabetes just by "looking" at him.

    Then we had TSE and Toryjim on here repeating it was a "chubby white guy", "remember the Glasgow bin man", like stereophonical morons.

    Then it slowly emerged that he was not "a chubby white guy", he was a Somali. He was a Muslim. He was foreign born. Now we see that he was devout Muslim, very religious, possibly radicalised by his peers.

    Feck this. We are being lied to by the police. There is a broad and studied effort to deny terror elements to these attacks, at all costs - to overtly lie to the people - until the lies are unsustainable and the truth must be faced - by which time the authorities hope all focus will have shifted. '


    They really think people can't see through the lies & bullshit.

    In the case of the Euro we were members of the Single Market. Not the same thing, as you say.

    This is why we need an outline agreement asap. The longer uncertainty lasts, the more damage there will be.

    If there were significant redundancies at the Sunderland plant, things could get quite ugly up there. It is also worth remembering that the automobile industry - because components go from country to country - would be the business most negatively impacted by a WTO outcome.
    The workers who voted leave deserve zero sympathy it happens. They can't say they weren't warned.

    I’m tempted to say that it shows how stupid Remainers are but perhaps it illustrates that different people have different priorities in life.

    Surely it shows the exact opposite? An area with cheap rents indicates that immigration isn't causing any strains w.r.t housing costs.
