"Nissan and Jaguar Land Rover speak out on trade tariffs after Brexit, with both signalling they will not accept unfair costs. Britain's two biggest carmakers are demanding guarantees from the Government over the impact from Brexit on their businesses before they commit to future investment.
Nissan, whose Sunderland's car plant is Britain's biggest, wants the UK to pledge compensation for any tax barriers that may be raised as a result of leaving the European Union." ...

Guiding you through the Brexit legal landscape
"On June 23, 2016, the United Kingdom voted to leave the EU. While the notice period required means that the actual British exit (or 'Brexit') date is unlikely to be before 2018, there will be both long and short term implications for UK and international businesses and of course, the wider UK economy. Some of the immediate challenges for businesses will arise from the impact of Brexit on the free movement of goods, services and employees. There are also likely to be concerns regarding the protection of IP rights and new laws which will be introduced or amended to fill the holes left by EU legislation that no longer applies to the UK. Forward planning is, therefore, key."

There is a vast, well organized, international conspiracy to force the people of Earth to submit to globalization and enrich big banks, multinational corporations, and the already rich elites...They are trying to convince us to surrender to their power as it is inevitable....Their act is neo-feudalism, forgetting the peasants have pitchforks to storm the castle............ Yes indeed.

"Britain cannot easily dismiss Japanese Brexit warning letter If non-EU countries’ economic interests but to be threatened, 15-page report may well be the first of many warning shots The Japanese government’s letter setting out its Brexit demands is deeply troubling to the UK since it is clear Japanese companies want Theresa May to negotiate a deal that leaves Britain not just in the EU customs union, and single market, but also retains a free flow of workers between the EU and the UK." Full article: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/sep/04/britain-japanese-brexit-letter-eu
We didn't vote to leave the EU to accept instructions from the Japanese. We'll consider what they say, of course, but act in what we consider to be our best interests, just as we did in refusing to join the euro after Japanese companies decided that we should. Japan runs a substantial trade surplus with the UK. It can jeopardise that trading relationship if it so chooses but no one wins. And as for your earlier comment ... Daniel Guéguen is an EU lobbyist. It's in his interests to see this as hugely complicated. He says, "the only thing anyone can agree on is the huge complexity of Brexit". He needs to take his head out of the EU trough and listen to his opponents a little more. It's as complicated as you want it to be. According to europhiles:
- It's hugely complicated to leave but the UK hasn't lost its sovereignty.
and
- The UK is tiny and insignificant but Brexit has far reaching ramifications for global trade.
Can you explain these apparent contradictions, Jar? Europhiles just want the UK to stay in the UK and are posturing because they're not going to get what they want, isn't that right? What does your post have anything to do with EU at all?

Quoting limited to 3 levels deepa-la-Americana.
This will not only shag the UK, it will shag the EU and the world interlaced economy. Lehman Brothers
Certainly, whilst the English yearn for the punch that the Empire gave them - foolishly - Northern Ireland will tip towards reunification with the Republic of Eire. NI without Europe is doomed. Scotland, already hankering for independence, will see the prosperity of EU trade in danger and now demand another referendum, resulting in a definite leave vote in order to remain with the EU. After all, what would you prefer: England vs a European trading block for you future financial security? Gibraltar will become a island after enjoying the trading benefit of the EU. Spain is going to make that border airtight, believe me and the economy of the Rock will plummet. Over 80% of the Gibraltereños voted to remain precisely because of it. Now the Rock's PM will open negotiations with Madrid to become an autonomous entity within Spain and thus keep its EU trade links intact. In the meantime, over a million Brits living in Spain will see their work opportunity in peril while the thousands of retired Brits here will see at least 30% of the value of their pensions shaved off thanks to a devalued pound sterling. As for Spanish tourism, over seven million Brits visit Spain each year - the Brits are the largest foreign tourist sector by far. With a pound worth s**t they can either not afford to come or if they do spend impoverished holidays here. Both of these conditions are going to cause chaos to the Spanish economy without even taking into account the amount of investment the Spanish banks have in the UK. The fact is, whether these dickhead Brits leave-voter like it or not, the EU is a tumour that is so deeply encrusted on the UK economy that its removal will cause major organ failure. As for the States, the UK - or what will be left of it - will be of no use whatsoever to the United States because the American interest in the "special relationship" was solely based on the UK influence with the EU. The UK has nothing to offer the USA now, and with the US already looking towards the Pacific as the future, this idiotic decision by the Brits will only hasten the transformation of turning the British Isles into an economic backwater. The Pound Sterling only enjoys its relative weight because London is a financial hub, but that emphasis will now shift to Berlin. How the bloody hell can the Brits - epitomized by the gormless UKIP leader - have been so catastrophically short sighted. Tighten your sea tbelts because this is going to be a tough ride for everybody. Cheers Hughmac
I was kinda hopin that I would see your comments on this today..... Where to start? First, this will not be a financial armageddon, a la Lehman Brothers per your comments. That catastrophe was caused by liberals/Democrats demanding that billions of dollars of housing loans be made to people who could not afford to make the mortgage payments on said housing. This, ...this, ...is different. Yes, yes indeed, there are many economic advantages for the Brits to be "inside" the EU. No question. All kinds of trade agreements will now have to be re-jiggered in the coming years. There is, however, a two year grace period for this to take place. No problem. The British financial community will come out of this fine, and probably stronger in the long run. The British Pound Sterling may drop a little bit in the short run, but if competent politicians are in charge, in this case the Tories, the Sterling should regain its strength and be a model for the world. In other words, stop spending money you don't have and everything will be fine. Politicians cause inflation and financial instability, not the free market. Yes, Scotland may indeed elect to secede. Yup. No question. You'll note from the voting charts that the Scots were all in favor of staying in the EU and deriving its, ...b-e-n-e-f-i-t-s. Government hand-outs and checks are at their highest percentage in Scotland. I'm sure you know that. Dare I say the word, ...socialism? But the percentages are enormous there, and the financial burdens to all British taxpayers through the roof. The Scots want this to continue. Didja see the vote last night from Scotland? Hmm? Yes, they may take their oil revenues from those off-shore rigs when they go and spend them on their welfare state. Maybe. But there's not enough money there to continue this state of affairs. They, the Scots, haven't figured this out yet. Just wait and see what the new Scottish/Socialist government of Scotland does when faced with balancing their budgets. In a few years the place will look like Venezuela...! Why did this happen? Why? People are sick and fed-up with the liberals/socialists of Europe who have systematically destroyed its identity. They've created massive bureaucracies in Brussels that are gargantuan, overbearing and fascist-like. People are sick of it. From Austria to Denmark to the Netherlands, people feel like their lives have been taken from them. They are told to willingly accept massive immigration in their own communities by politicians and bureaucrats looking at the "greater good." We know better. We have your best interests at heart. Faceless, nameless bureaucrats shaping Europe's future. Draconian laws being passed. New taxation everywhere. A monster needs to be fed. Arrogance. Pomposity. All of Europe is sick of it. Period. Europe has become a mish-mash. Culture and history are being ignored for the "greater good" according to the demands of the bureaucrats in Brussels. People want to be British again, French and even German. A shared cultural history, a shared future. It's been taken away. This will continue! France next, then even my beloved Austria! Get the hell out. We want our own land back, our own laws, our own idiosyncrasies. Borders and common sense will return to Europe. Get used to it, it's coming....! Mozart Now the "elite" over at the IMF are under pressure...

Existential Threat to World Order Confronts Elite at IMF Meeting
Policy-making elites converge on Washington this week for meetings that epitomize a faith in globalization that’s at odds with the growing backlash against the inequities it creates. From Britain’s vote to leave the European Union to Donald Trump’s championing of “America First,” pressures are mounting to roll back the economic integration that has been a hallmark of gatherings of the IMF and World Bank for more than 70 years. Fed by stagnant wages and diminishing job security, the populist uprising threatens to depress a world economy that International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde says is already “weak and fragile.”
Here's another reason...

Wow. Had a very busy week, back and forth from UK and CH/IT to take care of a few things this blessed Brexit caused.
Well, well, didja take notes while in Switzerland on how a non-EU member can cope working/living in a Brexit world?  (see, this ain't so bad...!) If the Swiss can do it, so can you! They figured it, and you can too! Right? With me here? - Quote:

I feel sorry for the ones who were manipulated to pull the UK out of the EU .... most of them are the ones who will feel the financial pain most. The manipulators are well cushioned and, as ever, will be landing on their feet while the manipulated will begin to wonder in about six months or less what the hell hit them. Farmers are already asking where the yearly 3Billion pounds they were getting from the EU will now come from ... and that's just one. Scientists are another very worried group ...
Manipulated? by whom? And ALL of those silly "global warming" scientists SHOULD be worried about where their next pay check is coming from. Right? Right!  They should all go and find themselves proper jobs, something to do with real science. - Quote:

WAM? Are you getting somewhat confused? Surely not. Not you. Never. Let's see. Your video (BTW, you know who put that video together, right? Of course you do  ) and your post above don't match.
Was it Goebbels? Was it he and Leni Riefenstahl behind that propaganda video? Who'd a thought! Let's watch this video again together, shall we? Grab a snifter of cognac, put your feet up and watch the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ie-u47gRws0- Quote:
-
When you've done that please reserve some time if you can. I would like you to meet some of my friends from Eastern Europe. They have a pretty good idea about sovereignty and lack thereof.
Yes, and I have a lot of friends in Eastern Europe as well. They think the EU is complete bollocks. A monstrosity of insanity the likes of which the world has never seen before. Orwellian. Faceless bureaucrats given the power to make legislation behind closed doors to the detriment of millions of innocent people. "We will decide for the common good...!" Accountable to no one. Wizard of Oz kinda stuff. Who is that man behind the curtain? - Quote:
-
Anyway WAM. Am heartened to see you care about what's going on in the old continent. Should you wish to know how decisions are taken in the EU, how MEPs are elected, how the EU parliament works, the relationship between the EU Parliament and the sovereign EU governments, do let me know. I am lucky to have four MEPs as friends, from three different countries. As I say, let me know.
Well, the next time you see your MEP's ask them what they do for a living?  Ask them how much money they make! Ask them what happens to all of that money from confiscatory taxation go to? A trillion dollar budget, ...for what again? Have them watch that Brexit video (see above) and write-down their comments. Ask them about those "spectacular" GDP growth rates the current EU is enjoying as a result of their efforts. Ask them about how millions of undocumented immigrants are allowed to wander around the EU without any plan of repatriation. Ask them to buy you lunch the next time you meet with them. Believe me, they can afford it! - Quote:
-
There again, you can simply rely on the guys who made that video. Hey, your choice.
Or you can rely on the so-called journalists to be advocates for all of the boys and girls who are MEP's. Is Cristine Amanpour a member of the North Korean news delegation? I dunno. If she ever gets fired from her "job" at CNN, she can always find a friendly ear over there in Pyongyang. The Great Leader is always right! The EU is always right! No hard questions here,.e.g, such as if you guys are so smart howz come the GDP of the Eurozone is lower than all of the rest of the world, and the taxation the highest? Maybe Ms. Amanpour could ask that of Mr. Hannon. He would have a good answer for that. He knows. I know. The EU is Orwellian insanity. It is killing Europe, by the day, by the month and the years. That's what good journalists do, look at all of the angles to a problem, not take the party line. I cannot point to worse, more despicable example of advocacy journalism than this video below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivOOM0PbNps Finally, we gotcha! We've put all of Europe in a tither. The bureaucrats in Brussels are nervous, scared. The gravy-train is being scrutinized. Questions are being asked. What EXACTLY are you doing with all the money that we are sending you? Who made these silly laws, and when was the vote? Who are you people? Now, my beloved Austria will vote again. I'll betcha we get em in October! Scare the hell out of em. People are no longer afraid of being called a Nazi for simply wanting their countries back. Get rid of the rules, the stupid regulations. Give HOPE for the young. Make them entrepreneurs. Encourage them with a deregulated economy. No silly laws. Reduce taxation by one half. Start over. The EU should be abolished, and all of the so-called diplomats, MEPS and bureaucrats should be sent home. Go. Leave. Write when you find real work. Finally, there is joy! We gotcha! No one saw this coming. Sing it Al Bano! ..... Felicita...! Happiness, ...happiness...! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0wZQbK938YMozart Watch the video ...!

No one seriously expects tax barriers to be raised so there'll be no compensation needed. So you keep on relying to a crystal ball to see how trade agreements will go in the next 2 years or so after the official announcement?
You can also try Tarot cards, you know.

Some of the immediate challenges for businesses will arise from the impact of Brexit on the free movement of goods, services and employees. There are also likely to be concerns regarding the protection of IP rights and new laws which will be introduced or amended to fill the holes left by EU legislation that no longer applies to the UK. Forward planning is, therefore, key." http://www.twobirds.com/en/hot-topics/brexit
And lots of lawyers hoping to make money after Brexit. Plus ça change.
+ a lot of lawyers also during it for backing up negotiators, of which according to some global news, UK has had little experience on trade negotiations for the past 40 years or so... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2016/07/03/government-faces-worldwide-hunt-for-trade-negotiators-experts-wa/
Don't worry, we have time to train them or hire them as necessary.

You had no reason to be surprised by the first ... it's natural and logical after the recent UK referendum.
No one who has followed UKIP recently should be surprised by Diane James' resignation. She would have been very good but was sadly too sensitive for the role. I don't think the membership took her temperament into account when she won their support.
You'll be pleased to hear that Nigel Farage is stepping back into the role to become UKIP's interim leader? Farage will also be pleased to see Timo Soini has met British ministers in his role as Finland's foreign minister.
And how are things in Finland now? Your economy wasn't so hot, was it? 'Jobs' took your jobs, I heard, and you were described as the 'Sick Man of Europe', a title that used to describe the UK in the 1970s. Finland also had some trouble with sexual harrassment of women by asylum seekers, didn't it?

Angela Merkel is beginning to understand the threat of Brexit. If the Brits can do it, so can the Austrians, the French, the Dutch and on and on. What will be left of Europe,.....independent states! No longer being ruled from the idiots in Brussels, their own governments, their own borders, and their own culture, language and literature.
Reality setting-in for Angela Merkel....

German Chancellor Angela Merkel has said that Britain cannot be given access to the European Union's internal market if it limits immigration, as it would lead to a free-for-all in Europe. Speaking today to Germany's main industry lobby group, Mrs Merkel stressed to businesspeople for the second day running the importance of upholding the EU's 'fundamental freedoms,' including free movement of EU citizens. Yesterday, when urging German business leaders to back her tough stance on Brexit, she said that allowing Britain to bend the EU's single market rules would represent 'a systemic challenge for the entire European Union'. Prime Minister Theresa May has announced plans to formally trigger EU exit talks by the end of March, and pledged to 'restore control' over immigration.

Germany has dominated the EU with the help of their EU bureaucrats, who are frequently French Quislings............
