Japan warns Theresa May its giant firms will quit UK.

[waz]

The world doesnt want trade with the UK. May got dubbed from US, Japan, India and China as well. What stays?

In end effect the UK will either stay in UK or formally leaves on paper but let evrything it was like before.

The world wants to trade with us, who told you this? Aside the US we dominate the technology and innovation index, we lead the world in computer science, weapons design, autonomous systems, medical research and the list is endless. Get serious Marcus.
Dubbed? You mean Trump? Who's eager to negotiate a FT deal as soon as possible, you lot should be worried about the impeding trade war you have coming with the US. We just signed billions in deals with the Chinese, and I just posted something above regarding the Japanese.

Actually if another vote was held this summer, people would vote to Remain. Remember the referendum was 51% to leave with 49% to Remain. Plenty of leave voters voted Leave on the basis there would be no economic damage in the UK. Now that pound has slumped and inflation has gone through the roof this is real pain that people are feeling while on holiday or at home.

As for mass immigration that was not the EU's fault but that of the Labour government who did not exercise he right to keep out Eastern Europe EU citizens for 7 years from 2004-2011. Both France and Germany kept their borders closed to Eastern Europe till 2011.

Where did you get this from? The recent pollsters have said the result would be the same. Many remain voters voted out of fear, and guess what, virtually none of the ridiculous projections never came to being. The pound has slumped which has led to an export boom dude, and inflation is not through the roof LOL!!!!!!! Anything 1% of the government's own 2% target is not significant. It recently dropped back to 3%.
Mass immigration can be blamed on both labour and the EU. To be part of the trading bloc you have to open your borders up, there is nothing in between. Oh and Germany is also struggling now, as are the nordic states with immigration from Central and Eastern Europe.

Britain Would Vote 55% To REMAIN If 2nd EU Referendum Was Held, Says New Poll

As for inflation:

It has gone from virtually zero to 3% since the referendum. This is having a major effect on people's living standards. You can see large increases in petrol, food and drink prices everywhere you go.

 

[Jinn Baba]

I want a second referendum! Most people that voted leave either did so based on lies fed to them by the likes of Boris Johnson or as a protest against David Cameron/Tories.

I'm certain if there was a referendum today the vote would be in favour of Remain and by a large margin!

Get serious? Germany leads in almost any technological area and the UK doesnt even compete anymore in that. The UK depends on financial constructs and lost almost any manufacturing business.

Yes dubbed, Trump showed May what he thinks about the UK, when he hit Bombardier out of business. It is sad to see the state of the UK, which falls more and more apart.

Did you ever fly from Heathrow? Its like the airport will collapse anytime soon. The UK economy currently is basicly in free fall and at worst it will be -8% after Brexit and at best if evrything stays at it is -2%.

Reality is, the UK is part of Europe and it can not replace the EU with China or the US. Thats a simple geography fact. No trade with Europe means death for the UK.

Opinions have't changed and any new support comes from those unable to vote the first time.

Dude the spike was effected and it hasn't had a major impact, define major i.e. in terms of real income losses per week. The bank's own rule book says a rise or drop either side of the target rate is not a cause for concern. It's also dropped back, something you haven't touched upon.

Still not serious, no problem, I'll lay it out for you now.
Germany has a great manufacturing base, particularly cars and white goods. However our strength is based in the new breakthrough industries which hold future prosperity.
Here is the ranking of the world global innovation index;

http://www.wipo.int/pressroom/en/articles/2017/article_0006.html

1. Switzerland (Number 1 in 2016)
2. Sweden (2)
3. Netherlands (9)
4. United States of America (4)
5. United Kingdom (3)
6. Denmark (8)
7. Singapore (6)
8. Finland (5)
9. Germany (10)
10. Ireland (7)

We come in at number five, from 3 last year. There's a reason behind that which you should understand.

Trump didn't start the protectionist ball moving, the US has always been like that. Bombardier is also Canadian, but yes British jobs are at stake. That doesn't take away the fact that big trade deals are coming.

The UK falling apart lol, says you.....Look up CrossRail, Royal Docks development etc.
Fly out of Heathrow? I live near it and I can tell you it is one of the world's most modern airports and one of the busiest on the planet. Stop making things up and I don't want to bring Italy up here, which will be embarrassing for you.....
The UK economy has actually grown where did you get the free fall part from?

Strong growth in Britain’s dominant services sector helped UK economic growth to accelerate in the final quarter of 2017. National income was 0.5 per cent higher during the fourth quarter than in the third, according to the preliminary estimate of economic growth published by the Office for National Statistics on Friday.

-8, what? You do realise these predictions are akin to looking at a crystal ball right?
Who says we do not want trade with Europe, of course we do. We are part of the landmass yes, but not part of that political union you guys have brewing.

Heathrow is old, outdated and in dire need of renovation. Im from airline business so you can trust me regarding that.

http://travel.cnn.com/explorations/life/10-most-hated-airports-324645/

Heathrow is voted to be the Nr. 3 worst airport on this planet.

But thats just a sidenote.

UK wont have Trade with the Eu without fullfilling its obligations. The EU made clear, free trade only with free travel.

The UK needs trade with the EU or it simply dies off. So you will end as Norway or Switzerland. You will pay billions, allow free travel and just have no voting rights.

And as it looks now the EU thinks about also stop landing and overflight rights for british airlines if needed.

The majority of Scots and Northern Ireland are for the EU. And so is the Queen.

Gibraltar also wont be able to survive since the EU made clear that after BREXIt Gibraltar would fall under foreign country act. Spain made clear it will introduce normal border checks then. Which basicly seals Gibraltar off. But hey you can still make a deal with Morocco?

Nope I can refute that easily, here from the industry experts;

Here are the rankings from Skytrax

http://www.worldairportawards.com/Awards/worlds_best_airport.html

9. LONDON HEATHROW AIRPORT

London Heathrow Airport is the busiest airport in the UK and busiest airport in Europe by passenger traffic, and having been world’s busiest airport for international passengers, it has recently lost this title to Dubai Airport.

http://uk.businessinsider.com/best-...ytrax-2017-3/#9-london-heathrow-airport-lhr-7

Yearly passengers: 75 million

Previous rank: 8

Why it's awesome: Heathrow is the world's third-busiest airport and the largest of the five primary airports serving London.

Heathrow is in the midst of a major renovation with the addition of a new Terminal 2 building. It's eight-year-old Terminal 5 building was named the best airport terminal in the world by Skytrax.

Heathrow serves as the main hub for British Airways and Virgin Atlantic.

Source: Skytrax World Airport Awards. Yearly passenger figure is for 2015, provided by Airports Council International.

You currently have free trade with Canada and 13 other countries without free travel, so please don't use that one. If the EU insists that's fine we will break into WTO rules which favour us with a 60-40 import/export number we have with the EU trading bloc.
The UK is powerful and does not need the EU, if anything it's the other way round, the EU needs our money otherwise it will find itself in ever in reading trouble regarding budget obligations. The Germans have openly spoken of this problem. The UK was around long before the EU and was a strong state and will continue to be after it leaves.
The EU will not stop landing rights for BA as we will simply follow suit and apply more sanctions in other areas, especially related to security and defence.
The Scots are for the EU, the Northern Irish by a smaller Margin, but their populations are small and they stand with their country first. As for the Queen she cannot stand the EU it's an open secret, I'm surprised you don't know that. The EU is federalist entity with no room for royal sovereign heads.
Gibraltar will survive, we will ensure that and do remember that it provides thousands of jobs to Spaniards. Spain can make clear what it wants, we will make sure there is ease of access at our borders if not then the military will do the deed and this has been openly talked about. I suggest you figure out how poor Spain is still going to keep control over Catalonia before they even try to show their face regarding Gibraltar.

 

[The Diplomat]

Japanese companies will not leave the UK; the hype is about Nissan and Toyota.
Nissan's Sunderland factory has the best productivity rate in the whole of Europe and Nissan recently released a new model which has high demand in the UK. Nissan was given a grant by the British Government to cover 1/3 of the cost of the factory, they won't leave.... As for Toyota, the factory's size is something around 750 football fields, those guys are here to stay.

I voted remain (well parents did, I wasn't given the rights but elderly were!) however another Brexit referendum? No, that's not democracy. We should leave the single market, trade with the Common Wealth now.

Oh you want force acess for Gibraltar through the border of spain? Are you kidding me? How you plan to do that? Shooting at spanish border guards?

I really want to understand this, you say you want not open borders for EU citizens, but you want that EU has open borders for UK citizens? With other words you want a privilidge you dont want give others?

Not going to happen.

I voted remain (well parents did, I wasn't given the rights but elderly were!) however another Brexit referendum? No, that's not democracy. We should leave the single market, trade with the Common Wealth now.

Did we not have this conversation before?

Of course you can have another referendum as otherwise how long do you wait till another one? 10 years, 20 years, 100 years or never? Do you see where I am going here? Just like a legal case can be re-examined after more facts come to light so can another referendum be held and still be democratic.

My opinion is that too many people voted Brexit without being aware of the damage that would be done to the UK economy and some would now vote Remain.I myself was undecided and did not vote but after seeing the negative consequences of Brexit I would probably vote Remain if another referendum was held today.

PS - Trade with the Commonwealth? You realise the only developed economies in it are Canada, Australia and NZ? These 3 combined are around the size of just the French economy. Also since they are so far away transport costs would be so much higher than with EU countries that are right next door.

Your right, the Common Wealth is made of mostly developing countries however that does not mean the quality of goods and services are below standard, in fact in the fruit and vegetables market in Asian and African Common Wealth countries lead the way. You also forget that the majority of Common Wealth countries produce goods and services at much lower prices compared to EU where majority of the countries have to some extent high minimum wage rates, all the price benefits get passed on to you and me making the end product cheaper. We are not limited to trade with the Common Wealth, we can make trade deals with any country we choose; the US, China, Japan, the list goes on.

My opinion is that too many people voted Brexit without being aware of the damage that would be done to the UK economy and some would now vote Remain.I myself was undecided and did not vote but after seeing the negative consequences of Brexit I would probably vote Remain if another referendum was held today.

Again, I agree. Brexit was based on miss-trust and fake rumors of leave politicians such as Boris Johnson, we were promised £300m a week but it turns out we will be paying the EU £60m a week for several years to come. I also think that if there is another referendum the vote will be remain by a massive majority. Again I emphasis that I was not allowed to vote however the retired were... I was in Year 11 during Brexit and I in my opinion had more of a right to vote than the retired, this vote effects me and not them. I was a remain voter.

I'm sorry but having another Brexit referendum because I don't agree with the result would be greedy of me and I have a moral obligation in democracy to go with what the majority choose and at the time it was leave. I can not be party to destabilization the democratic process.
