    Well done,just a group of 4 guys who feel that anti Brexit is not being properly promoted....I understand they have raised £50k from a crowd funding exercise...the money came in so fast they had to stop it,until they had a method to get these posters up legally. Well done guys. KudosDave

    Interesting........ Japan Trade Deal makes UK less important There are other powerful forces at work. As of last week, the free trade agreement between the EU and Japan came into force. Under that deal, tariffs on Japanese car exports to the EU begin to taper towards zero over the next ten...

    Have just read that the EU have recently completed a free trade deal with Japan.....I wonder whether it is cheaper to ship Nissan vehicles from Japan to Europe than pay the 10% tariff UK to EU ???? If that is the case Honda must be thinking the same. World car volumes are dropping out,some...

    From the Institute of Fiscal Studies.....it sort of says that we were all correct,the ultimate effect on food prices is actually dependant upon political decisions. How food prices will change following the UK’s actual departure from the EU remains highly uncertain. Currently, the UK benefits...

    What you are ignoring is that after no deal we will immediately fall onto WTO tariffs,you have agreed that the WTO tariff on oranges is high but are making the point that we can decide to put zero tariffs on oranges. I admit to not fully appreciating the full implications of removing all...

    Some say that the Germans will not want no deal because we buy so many German cars ,look around the car park at Gatwick airport and you will see how much we like them. 10% tariff added to a Merc,Audi or VW will make little difference to the number we buy,£4000 over 3 years on a lease will be...

    To be fair they have said that they will continue building the current model at Sunderland,but once they move one model and if 10% tariffs U.K. to EU are added they must be tempted to quit completely. Don’t forget that Nissan are owned by the French. Amazed that any Nissan voter voted leave,it...

    You really should do your homework,most of the other orange suppliers we don’t currently have a free trade deal,I believe we would pay average 25% tariff on oranges or juice from either the EU or South Africa. Oranges would be a lot more expensive until we get a deal with say South Africa. You...

    Sorry but you are forgetting that via the EU we enjoy trade deals with 60 plus countries outside of the EU,much of the foodstuff that is bought elsewhere in the world is under negotiated EU trade deals not WTO terms. If we no deal after March 29 we rapidly need to negotiate trade deals with...

    You are correct,it reminds me of the difficulties of getting TUV standard in the U.K. The Germans insisted on TUV,very difficult and expensive to achieve in the U.K.,easy for a German......TUV set up a chain of testing centres in China but this was never offered to the U.K. Brexit is going to...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The news is full about using the CE logo and standard after no deal Brexit. My understanding is that CE marked product can continue to be sold in both the U.K. and EU. In the future CE tested product from say China will be able to be sold in both U.K. and EU. It is said for a limited time...
