es. It is a very, very regrettable side effect. I mean we're not talking epidemic, but rather that a few more of that tiny, tiny minority of mouth-breathing idiots who think the human race is not of common lineage have been emboldened to vent their petty ignorance on some poor, unsuspecting individual.
The other side of the coin is that some European immigrants think Brexit meant we were wanting to kick them all out, pronto. So I think there was a widespread misunderstanding of what the referendum was actually about.
I think this was my favourite story on the issue: http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/article/36580448/wel...
Wales has its own language!!! The other side of the coin is that some European immigrants think Brexit meant we were wanting to kick them all out, pronto. So I think there was a widespread misunderstanding of what the referendum was actually about.

"After about five minutes of the mother talking to her son in another language, the man, for whatever reason, feels the need to tell the woman, 'When you're in the UK you should really be speaking English.'" wrote Tom in his Facebook post.
"At which point, an old woman in front of him turns around and says, 'It's Welsh you 'tard'".

I do not get why you think the WTO issue is complex.
We simply will become members of the WTO like the US or China, instead of having the EU acting as our agent.
When you made this a big issue before, saying the UK wasn't a member, I simply went onto their website and the position was instantly clear.

Do you know for certain that money was promised?
Do you understand that "grants" have been going on for years to all sorts of industries.
There was a piece about Nissan on the local north east news, apparently the sunderland plant is one of the most productive in the world, not just Europe but the world, business hate's uncertainty, but is not there uncertainty in Europe, who knows where its heading after the UK leaves, remember we are one of the biggest contributors, along with rising nationalism things may change rapidly,
Over the last few years the UK has been one of the few countries in the EU with rising car sales, any locally produced product will have a price advantage due to the exchange rate, with this backdrop would you take the risk of moving?
Indeed. People don't quite realise what 97-98% OEE actually means, how staggeringly rare it is in fully automated plants let alone ones with huge levels of human processes or how valuable a percent or two difference is. Do you understand that "grants" have been going on for years to all sorts of industries.

At the throughput of Nissan Sunderland, a percent equals a couple of thousand cars produced for zero labour spend (as the same labour is producing cars instead of being unproductive). Compared to many of their plants, the actual performance of NS means several thousand vehicles which have cost materials and logistics. That's a huge profit differentiator, and one that overrides financially many other factors.

Ah, yes.But... but... but... we haven't actually Brexited yet.
When we Leave, in March 2019, obviously construction will immediately cease.
The half built structure will then become a permanent reminder of the stupidity of people who believed that they could save the NHS.

Erm hang on, isn't the empty Nissan plant in Sunderland going to be that reminder when they stop building the new models there in 2.5 years?But... but... but... we haven't actually Brexited yet.

Marmite is up 12.5% at Morrisons. The first supermarket to pass on the price increase.
I hope all you Brexiteers are suitably pleased with what you've done

English Apple Fanbois getting stiffed even more than usual. Looks like a round 15-20% across the product line.
(I don't buy apple computers, before you start having a go)
