Should we be getting behind Brexit by boycotting German cars
Discussion
My only focus as far as Germany is concerned, is that now the EU`s second greatest net contributor of cash after Germany (That is real., new cash, not cash that has been just been handed out in they form of a bail out) INTO the EU`s coffers has left, How long will the German tax payer be able to, ( or even want) to stump up the extra cash needed to keep the EU afloat, and make up for what the UK `was' paying in?

Indeed! Especially as Germany and the UK were the only countries in the EU which was keeping all the basket case economies in the EU afloat, what happens next will be interesting.

I was actually joking. That figure, so routinely banded about at the time has been proven to be completely bogus But since the UK, and its paltry money (and its fish) was so insignificant to the EU, that is no doubt why it took four and half years to negotiate a deal, and one which did not let the UK do better than the EU.
The EU will survive, have no fear. Sahjahd said:
Is that another way of saying that global sourcing is not only bad for the notional Nation of manufacture, but is also bad for the consumer? Many still believe that Ford is a British brand, but as far as I am aware, almost none of their components are manufactured here, and no complete vehicles at all.
Ah, yes, that well known British inventor of the assembly line and the Model T, Henry Ford, whose firm is headquartered in the quaint English town of Dearborn, Michigan and listed on the NYSE... Pan Pan Pan said:

Can you please give it a rest, we have seen the same post made for months now.EU can now raise their own funds from the market and can magic up their own cash, so it's a none issue.

Yes, a deficit of £350 Million a week........they're done for But since the UK, and its paltry 2nd largest cash contributor money (and its fish) was so insignificant to the EU, that is no doubt why it took four and half years to negotiate a deal, and one which the EU did not want to let the UK do better than the EU. Funny That!

Your argument is self-defeating: if you have to follow what people vote for, then you can't complain if they are offered another vote and vote differently. Why 40 years? We re-elect Parliament every five years.
I am sure you can work out why 40 years.We had our referendum last year, so 40 years from now equals that out.
In 1975 there was no way the people of the UK were even going to understand what being in an EU would mean, let alone make an informed vote on the matter, since the EU would not even exist for another 9 years.
The first, and only vote the people of the UK were ever given on whether or not they wanted the UK to remain in the EU was in 2016.

We gave away the fishing rights, but damn it, we'll take their car industry down.

Yep I feel like having a celebratory cod. Love PH.SidewaysSi said:
Can we really class LR as British? It's a bit of a stretch isn't it?
Given there cars are almost completely designed in the UK, c3/4 are built in the UK (using mainly UK sourced high value components inc engines), and those that aren't now use UK built engines, i would say soOh and the minor matter they are registered as a UK LTD company

...so we will all being crying into our cornflakes?
Or b. the market will balance itself, sales will likely drop on that model and pick up on someone elses...
Ford being the base German brand in the UK, one has to see which way the French will go as they are thebother primary vendor at the bottom end in the UK, up the prices of their base products alongside the Germans or hold them so as to take market share. In time, both will be smashed out of the park by the Chinese products that will hit the UK market as part of any trade deal done with China. Or b. the market will balance itself, sales will likely drop on that model and pick up on someone elses...
Will we be crying into our cornflakes? No. Kellogg's is a US company and so post Brexit their price will rise and become luxury items only Remainers can afford. Any crying will be done over porridge as Brexiteers will be reduced to eating animal foods along with the people trapped in third world nations on the English borders.
