Brexit could see the cost of British-made cars rise by THOUSANDS… and put 169,000 jobs at risk

New research has shown that trade negotiations post-Brexit could make owning a car unaffordable for a number of Brits

I especially love that the bit about 'new research' as if there was no way anyone could possibly have figured any of this out sooner. :lol:

Good news anyway. There's already too many cars on the roads as it is.

Fewer cars per capita than every other EU country except for Ireland, Romania, Czech Republic and Hungary. Yet our roads are in a far, far worse condition and far more overcrowded due to chronic underfunding and neglect over the last 30 years. The alternative, public transport, has been run into the ground and is an overpriced, unreliable sham and this is somehow a cause for celebration.

Some people won't be happy until we've reopened the workhouses and condemned our children to lives where they rarely if ever leave the town they were born in.

Meh, there's too many children as it is.
 
The UK doesn't need a trade deal with neither the US nor the EU.
 
After some of you blamed the British empire for however the reason I would like as a Portuguese to give my thanks to the British empire in helping us beating the invanding armies from the midget in a white horse twice.

Bloody hell... Who would have thought it... 450m versus 60m.

I wonder how Brexiters will explain away this one. Nige has already exited stage left like the lying coward that he is.

Interesting factoid, he was actually taller than the average for the time. The average was 5'5 at that time and he was 5.7. Apparently there was some discrepancy about how heights were measured, and also he used to be surrounded by guards who were really massive feckers so he looked smaller than he actually was.
 
Realized that on the day we pull out, I'll have been in France for 4 years and 2 months, just 10 months shy of being able to apply for permanent residency or citizenship. If Theresa May fecks this up, I'm not sure how I'm going to contain the amounts of rage it will produce.

Predictably. I think a year of listening to the bizarre ramblings, xenophobic insults and insane lies coming out of Westminster was more than enough to dissolve any lingering positive feelings towards us.

Pretty sure there will be a transition deal anyway and thing will carry on as they were for at least two years after leaving.

May and the rest of the Tories have played it so badly. Constantly bitching, moaning and insulting the very people they are negotiating with from an already weak negotiation position.

This whole "Brexit means Brexit" narrative of completely smashing the relationship to peices and burning all bridges to appease the worst of the nationalists is so poorly thought out. They should have been working hard to build an amicable relationship which makes a beneficial deal more likely. Instead they've given every excuse to make an example of how damaging leaving the union will be for a country.

Aye, it's the worst negotiating tactic imaginable. I honestly can't fathom how people who have been in politics all of their lives have managed it.
 
Dont worry trump will put the uk in front of the queue.

And the Tories and UKIPpers will blame the EU bureaucrats and cite it as evidence they hate us and we are better off out.

Most likely yes. The future looks very insular in Britain I think.

My Girlfriend and I are seriously thinking about leaving Britain in a few years time. The future is bleak.

I can understand that if you're from a generation that never knew anything other than the EU that their is some nervousness, but to bail before a deal is done is a bit knee jerk. Where would you go btw?
