Excerpt from the above publication:
^Because mass-produced cars in the UK are less than a quarter “British” for trade deal purposes, we recommend
that the Government should prioritise securing the roll-over of existing EU Free Trade Agreements with the necessary amendments to allow UK content to count as EU for rules of origin purposes. New trade deals will also need to accommodate the largely European content of cars built in the UK.^

65% of German car components are made in Eastern Europe, but branded as made in Germany.

Loads of information if you care to look. Check out Eastern European’s workers wages, benefits etc. Why do their educated come here to work. Why have the ‘big’ players in Europe moved their manufacturing to these countries? It’s not for the weather. Would they move if their production cost were cheaper in their home countries? The majority of a company’s overhead costs are manpower costs.

No,all that guff about enslavement, Jn

Some would rather we were puppets of the USA, Russia and China. Were never going to “on our own”.

Still more majestic shalt thou rise,
More dreadful from each foreign stroke,
As the loud blast that tears the skies
Serves but to root thy native oak.

Let's have a sing a long.

???

Good morning everyone ?

???... here's hoping...
I won't put a jinx on proceedings by saying the word.

Sunnier days ahead eh? ☀️?☀️?☀️

Indeed GG54
I’m with you!

Also some GOOD NEWS - just now in the Graun -

“The UK economy remains afloat despite the Brexit shenanigans
Two former members of Bank of England’s rate-setting committee on the economic outlook
UK economy defies Brexit gloom even as crisis deepens”

Urmstongran, from what we are seeing from within our company trading, very many businesses are putting large resources into stockpiling. That is creating high demand in fixed-term employment contracts, and other component resources in regard to that large stockholding set up.

I feel we will not know just how well or badly the UK economy is doing until the Brexit situation is resolved, whenever that may be.

But that will not be soon I fear.

What is the Graun?...anyone?

The Guardian

It’s the nickname for the Remain loving newspaper, The Guardian GG54 which is why I quoted from it for the GOOD NEWS. If I had taken a headline from The Telegraph- because it is my newspaper of choice as it supports Leave - then some on here would have called me out on it.

You seem to be always referring yo stockpiling. We know that you business has something to do with it but give it a rest.
This is supposed to be a happy upbeat thread, please don't taint it with doom and gloom.
Of course we won't know how the economy will care but think of this. When a boat cuts through the water it creates waves and spume which need calm conditions to settle back into a glassy sea.
All will be well...in time.

you your
care fare

Ah...I see ?
You're certainly on the ball Urmstongran ????

You may scoff.

Listen to this brilliant speech by an MP brave enough to speak the truth. Listen to this speech and then try to tell us some good news about brexit.

Doncha (sic) get sick of certain posters who always always give links to boring lengthy articles?
I know I do.
Chat all you like.

Ah yes the Telegraph - why on earth would its tax dodging, tax exiled owners ever support Leave? Beats me .

Vote Leave chief found in contempt of parliament

f7td5.app.goo.gl/Zb9sn

Dominic Cummings has been found in contempt of parliament after refusing to give evidence to an inquiry that found “foreign influence and voter manipulation” in the Brexit vote.

MPs have been urged to pass a formal motion condemning the head of the Vote Leave campaign for his “significant interference” in the work of the probe into so-called “fake news”.

The call, from the Commons privileges committee, follows Mr Cummings’ “total disregard” for parliament’s authority by rebuffing pressure to explain his role in the campaign, which broke the law.

Instead, the focus of Channel 4’s recent Brexit drama attacked the digital, culture, media and sport (DCMS) committee for “grandstanding” and “spreading errors and lies”.

“The committee recommends that the House should admonish Mr Cummings for his contempt by way of a resolution of the House,” the privileges committee concludes.

However, the episode has uncovered worrying weaknesses in parliament’s ability to force witnesses to attend hearings and to punish them if they refuse, the MPs say.

Parliament needs to be able to expose the corruption of our democracy by foriegn interference and other malign forces, instead we repeatedly get this "respect the result of the referendum" nonsense when MPs are well aware that referendum was fraudulent and should be annulled.

Another day and yet more links from the usual suspects.
Whst a farce. ??

Whst What

Thank you once again Varian for bringing such news to my attention. I'd missed it. MP's know what's been happening and the current 'rebellion' is their opportunity to try to address the deceit. Boring and lengthy = crucial information.

I’m with you GG54 on the sunny side of the street! ?
No thanks varian not on this thread and also definitely NOT from the Independent newspaper (the one that organises all the Remain polls and protests). I’m staying optimistic. It doesn’t hurt anyone and keeps me happy!

GabriellaG54, the stockpiling by companies due to the fears of a "no deal" Brexit has been widely reported by the news channels on numerous occasions over recent weeks. Therefore, I in my posts have outlined how that stockpiling is benefiting the British economy, so how can that be "doom and gloom" to use your above words?

In setting up the additional storage facilities that many businesses are requiring benefits many other companies in the supply of equipment for those facilities. To just take one warehouse setup my company were involved with required also the following suppliers:-

Building contractors and electricians to adapt the building for a new use, supply and installation of heavy duty racking to the warehouse, supply of pallet trucks, supply of forklifts, supply of markings for the walkways and picking aisles, supply and installation of computers and an IT system, along with the quantity required of pallets and roll cages.

Along with the above, there has to be the engagement of the employees for the site and the training of those employees. A company has to be engaged to set up the safety regime for the operation of the facility, and then many other suppliers and transport companies are required to bring on to the site all the stockholding that is to be held at the premises.

Much more could be added to the above, but that outline I feel demonstrates how all the uncertainty of brexit is in some ways benefitting the British economy at this point in time.

Of course, for any company to prepare alternatives to the highly efficient just-in-time delivery services (JIT) many use at present will cost, and eventually those costs will have to be met by consumers. However, that change is providing much extra work for our company and many others at present, and is that not good news.

So, what's not to like in the above on a "good news" Brexit thread?
