I marvel at someone who calls someone else a moron at 1am & then subsequently demands that you don't reply. The mentality of that is really quite speshal.
Sorry, I'll try and get it in before your 9pm bedtime next time. 
I just wonder where the laser like personal focus on people with different views comes from, why you hate yourself so much that you project it constantly. Sad!

Whilst he did use the word "impossible", to be fair he did say "just about" in relation to production going abroad. Presumably e-Mini and Qashqai/X-trail fall outside of that 
Still, e-Minis won't even register in terms of production numbers... Unless.....
I can see e- minis catching on big time.Still, e-Minis won't even register in terms of production numbers... Unless.....
If the price isn't ridiculous.

Hence the "unless...". If the price isn't ridiculous.
With diesel the latest pariah and petrol still evil, and with moves like Volvo's on hybrids/electrics it will sell in huge numbers IMO.
Mind you, not only will tariffs lead to ridiculous prices and impossibilities in the supply chain, they will also make drivers infertile and increase the death rates to boot. All because of racist, aged, ugly Brexit voters. So maybe not.
And all that is only if we survive the canned chickens.

It all rides on this for me.

I think we really ought to bear in mind that if the EU had been what it was promised to be when it was mooted, if it hadn't left so many millions of its population in such dire straits, if it hadn't elevated its purpose from a means to an end to the end itself, it's highly likely, if not certain, that we wouldn't be leaving.
But we are, most probably.
The events of recent months have left me with little confidence that the self interested politicians both here and in the EU are capable of reaching an agreement that won't be hugely damaging to all 28 countries, even though it would seem to be eminently possible.
Then again, I'm not sure the EU is too concerned about its members' well being, as long as someone can keep funding Brussels.
Great post...........an oasis of sanity.But we are, most probably.

Only the last few months? It was obvious ages OK, many did try and tell you before the vote.
Would you change your vote knowing what you know now? I think I know the answer.

But you told us cross border parts transfer in the automotive sector would end because of Brexit.
So how does that work?
Some are arguing the business case still stacks up due to the fact it is going into an already produced car, hence there is no case to relocate even if brexit results in tariffs. So how does that work?
The almost universal declaration by the UK Govt of a transition period - i.e. from 2019 to say 2022 post brexit may also have had a bearing on the economics of this model run - i.e its key manufacturing years are very likely to be tariff free and in the CU.
It is good news, but I don't think it means "bring on WTO, business is not that bothered". I suspect you aren't reading it that way either, or do you?
You can argue that the impact of losing tariff/barrier free trade may not overcome the benefits of UK manufacturing efficiency & helpful unions etc., but it is a bit dangerous to assume they are not factors for business. Our car industry has been ruined in the past, lets try not do it again through complacency.
