    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Sorry you lost me in the tea...no they dont have to...they can say that they listened to the people and at that moment they can understand why the people voted. But having considered the matter and in light of a revised deal from the EU we,the government,have decided that it is in the best...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I still dont think we are leaving and I dont think Hammond thinks we are leaving,there are just too many obstacles to overcome. Forget the 'will of the people bit',we are talking money,the EU wants £100 billion,which we dont have,the UK wants to pay nothing except the continuation of our normal...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I thought the speaker of the house should be neutral but Bercow's recent comments to Hansard would suggest otherwise..... Commons Speaker says it is ‘opinion, rather than a constitutional fact’ that MPs must vote through Brexit because of referendum result' Believe it or otherwise,he is telling...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Dont misunderstand me,I am no way a Labour voter,the thought of corporation tax rising back to 25% and income tax plus NIC up to 60% has me running to the accountants. Brexit just seems to bring out the worse in the Tory party. KudosDave

    If you think that is nonsense.....do you realise that within the last Tory manifesto prior to the GE,despite all the problems of Brexit,the NHS/Social Care,what was important to the Tory Toffs.....bringing back fox hunting!!!.....I don't see Hammond or Soubry prioritising dusting off their...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Hammond doesn't want Brexit,he and the Treasury are erecting every obstacle to Brexit continuing. To date no cabinet member has spoken out about the negatives of Brexit.....but today Hammond said that without a deal we will have no flights possible between the UK and EU,and he is not spending a...

    EBMA files an anti dumping complaint on chinese e-bikes.

    I think the standard tariff goes first (6% bikes),then the anti-dumping duty(48% bikes),then the vat (20%)....the vat is reclaimable but can take 5 months for HMRC to give it back. The joys of e-bike importing.hehe.!!!! Which is why you do need deep pockets to import high value items from...

    EBMA files an anti dumping complaint on chinese e-bikes.

    HMRC are really bad at valuing product....all the chinese sellers on e-bay that use fulfillment warehouses in the UK,value the product at 10% of its true value,so they pay almost nil duty. When they sell on e-bay,they dont charge vat,the paypal monies go back to Hong Kong,so they defraud the...

    When the EU hit the Chinese with anti-dumping duty on vanilla bikes the Asians look for ways round it....what they did was to route containers via Kuala Lumpur,Malaysia...they lifted the container off the ship,opened the doors,took out the Chinese shipping docs and replaced with Malay docs,put...

    Woosh....The EU do whatever is necessary to protect EU manufacturers....they ignore all those considerations,slap a tariff on and then get you to argue it afterwards.

    Theresa May was asked what she would vote if there was today a second EU referendum,she refused to answer. Surely the PM who is committed to taking us out of the EU,she recently said she was going to prove the remain doomsayers wrong,should have immediately answered Leave. Without a positive...

    EBMA files an anti dumping complaint on chinese e-bikes.

    What has made this worse for the EU bike manufacturers is the strength of the Euro which makes EU exports expensive and sucked in a load of cheap imports from Asia. However,there are a lot of 'EU manufactured' bikes which appear to be EU but in reality they are badge engineered Chinese...

    EBMA files an anti dumping complaint on chinese e-bikes.

    The European Bicycle Manufacturers Association has filed an anti-dumping complaint with the European Commision.....claiming cheap chinese e-bikes are flooding the EU market. This is typical of the EU,if you cant compete,call it 'dumping' then put a massive tariff on the product to protect the EU...
