I can't believe we are all going along with the governments charade,it is obvious to all that we are going to stay in the customs union and the single market,it will just be named something different....BRINO Theresa May has,to date, given in to every demand made by the EU,she sort of puts up a...

Tillson....The Comac C919 is a narrow-bodytwinjetairliner developed by Chinese aerospace manufacturer Comac. The programme was launched in 2008 and production of the prototype began in December 2011. It rolled out on 2 November 2015 and first flew on 5 May 2017. The C919 is planned to enter...

Mr and Mrs Mansfield didnt look unhappy,just confused. Actually most of my containers have 100,000 dollars stock and there is almost nobody in the motorsport industry who doesn't use our product. The days when everything that came out of China was rubbish is long gone,this is why Liam Fox's...

At the end of the chat Mr and Mrs Mansfield still seemed keen on Brexit but didn’t seem to know why. Difficult to know how Brexit is going to improve the lives of such people. KudosDave

Coming back to immigration,net migration figures are still over 100,000 so why are the hotels,farms,hospitals,care homes and restaurants so short of stafff? KudosDave

Not sure that Mr and Mrs Mansfield would be any happier being called uneducated than stupid,perhaps you are right they were poorly educated and very slow learners. Trump may rue the day when he referred to Kim Jong Un as ‘little rocket man’,it never pays to try to belittle the opposition,it...

I think we are legally obliged to charge WTO tariffs unless we have a trade deal with the supplying country.....not sure on that ? The rest of your post is exactly what the EU are frightened of,to end up with a country on its doorstep that will lower standards and smuggle loads of cheap goods...

It’s a bit hypocritical the EU objections to Trump putting 25% tariff on EU and U.K. steel into the US.....in October 2016 the EU put 73.7 % tariff on all hot rolled Chinese Steel....Tata steel welcomed this as the saviour of Port Talbot steel works. As I have previously mentioned Theresa May...

The expanding middle class in China is causing massive traffic jams,just too many cars.....returning from CNY from the west to the east the country was gridlocked,even outside of the cities. I have noticed that train and air travel is packed and now more expensive than travelling around Europe...

I agree with your conclusion except under a no Brexit deal we would have to pay WTO tariffs,that would be hugely damaging especially for food,Ireland would be particularly badly hurt. KudosDave

That was the situation prior to the Brexit vote but we made it clear that many in the U.K. did not want EE workers and the fall in the value of the pound v euro has swung the balance such that they are equally well off socially and financially back home. Also some of these EE countries are...

We thought that the 60 plus countries that already have trade deals with the EU would automatically transfer those deals to the U.K. But the world is progressing,these countries realise that when we quit the EU we will be desperate to do replacement deals,so we will be vulnerable to blackmail in...

They were stupid because they didn’t and still don’t understand the implications of their vote. EU migrants are going home in droves,unfortunately they are just the worker profile that the lady said we should be keeping. KudosDave

Robinson on the TV,took a pack of cards to Mansfield Notts ,70% Leave voting area. He showed the cards to an older couple and asked which people should be want to retain in the UK... He showed the lady a chef....her reply,we are short of those. a care worker......definitely got to keep those a...

The European Commission has written to the UK government saying the UK owes €2.7bn (£2.4bn) in customs duties on shoes and textiles imported from China. The UK is accused of doing too little to prevent fraud after it was warned about the problem by the EU's watchdog Olaf in 2017. It begins a...

If the EU put anti dumping duty on U.K. to EU post Brexit then it will be impossible for U.K. e-bike importers to sell into the EU. However,few of us sell into Europe. KudosDave

Perhaps someone could copy across the recent posting I put on the EU anti dumping duty thread to this thread. In brief the government have a new regulator within the current Trade Bill,this regulator known as the Trade Remedies Authority will replicate all current EU ADT into U.K. law,so that...

I did wonder whether Brexit would eliminate the ADT on e-bikes. In fact I wondered if it would delete ADT on all currently loaded products. But within the current Trade Bill going through the house is a new regulator,known as the TRA (Trade Remedies Authority),this would investigate duties to be...

If we do want to rejoin the EU,it will probably not be on such good terms as before we left...the EU have already told us that we have lost Maggie’s rebate. Looks like Trump has threatened a trade war with importers into the US,Chinese steel,EU cars....ironically the latter will hit the U.K...

I thought Theresa May speech and her subsequent interview by Marr was very impressive,it probably stopped,for a while,the fighting inside the Tory party,not sure whether the EU will agree. She seems to be saying that they can develop a mechanism that will be ‘not so bad’ but she admits that we...
