Massive Demonstration Taking Place In Westminster By Young Remainers.

[ladybirder]

I've just put Ch4 News on and there does seem to be rather a lot of people protesting. Don't they understand democracy?

[fiction-factory]

I don't think it'd be up to BMW- if EU says they have to add 20% duty on goods imported into UK they will have to do it won't they?

[ladybirder]

At last, Sky News is reporting it.

right and angie's is going to tell BMW/MERC/VW what to do, and risk jobs and tax revenue is she? Right oh!
The whole trade argument is dead nothing to talk about already sorted, the Germans were sweet talking yesterday, as are the French, business that is. Talk about something else.

[Old_Geezer]

"Shouts of "no more hate", "down with Boris""
Along with "fight for peace" ? Well at least they have a sense of irony.

[fiction-factory]

Okay. Pointless speculating when some know they are right. I'm happy to wait and see and hope we get all the good bits (free trade, no duties) without the bits we wanted to get rid of (paying in, control over laws, free movement)

//TTT - maybe costs will be higher if we import from somewhere other than than the EU? //

Not so, the Japanese and Koreans can build and transport cars to the UK cheaper than France or Germany, without the crippling EUSSR protectionist tariffs. Now ask about TVs Washing Machines, etc. etc. Did you know that the EUSSR zoned areas of productivity for consumer goods many years ago? White goods, righto Turin that's yours. Steel, ahh we keep that in Germany with a bit for France, and so on, and so on.

//Well at least they have a sense of irony.//

The sick joke is Geezer, that they don't.

[ToraToraTora]

don't suppose they have to get up for work in the morning eh?

[Togo]

Poor daahhling think that they have just discovered the "profound" key. They don't realise that after years of leftie education policy, all they have in the locker is the profane key. Ahh bless.

This is from a House of Commons briefing paper, "In 2015, the UK exported £223 billion of goods and services to other EU member states.
This is equivalent to 43.7% of total UK exports. Goods and services imports from the EU
were worth £291 billion (53.1% of the total) in 2015. The UK had a trade deficit of £68
billion with the EU in 2015 but a surplus of £31 billion with non-EU countries."

Hardly supporting TTT's argument.

a lot of them are made here and would be prone to import taxes into the the brave new world. No, we have shot ourselves in the foot......

Let the cases build and be fully costed (properly so) with the negotiations for a Brexit, a compromise position and perhaps even a Nordic bloc if politics in the EU takes things that way.....and then the Brits should have a referendum, the new PM posting this as part of their election strategy. Take the time over A50 to build our negotiation position and see what happens in the EU as to other potential referendums and the French shafting themselves economically......

JIM360 " In the long run, we have to make this future work, but there's no obligation to be happy about it." You agree then that we must make this future work and when it's up and running will you continue to be unhappy about it?
A strange way to look at life," I've helped to make something better but still want to be miserable".

what ? a better way is think " I have been totally screwed by a generation that should have known better and I am meant to look happy satisfied and grateful ? " Dr Pangloss doesnt come into it ....

dt they build them here to circumnavigate the pyramid scheme tariffs. sigh. Nissan loves our tech savvy workforce and will invest in plant instead of transporting the cars half way around the world.

I haven't read any other answers as yet. No, they don't seem to understand Democracy. They need their bottoms smacking! (Light-hearted comment for those who will pull me up.)

We have seriously spoiled the young. I call it the 'Selfie' generation - all they think about is themselves and how they appear! We are reaping the whirlwind. So - they need checking. Hopefully this will happen by ignoring them and letting their tantrum run its course. If they carry on then it has to be the 'smacked bottom'. - water cannons, tear-gas etc. Very sad day, I thought we'd taught them about Democracy. :(

PS I don't include all under 25's in this - many were raised properly.

You'd think these clowns that were wrong about Brexit (the same clowns who are proved wrong about all the botox they come out with) would *** for ten minutes.
Nope, they just can't help talking botox. They open their big gobs and botox comes tumbling out, constantly.
