Re: Tory MP John Redwood Says We Don’t Need European Wine, Cheese And Cars Post-Brexit
Hi
Redwood is an idiot, as are others of his ilk.
British cars?
Well I suppose you have Aston Martin, Lotus and Morgan, the rest are foreign owned, the French have just bought Vauxhall, Nissan is also French.
The decision on whether or not hey stay in the UK is not in our hands.
Interesting little documentary on TV recently showing how an engine crankshaft goes in and out of the UK to the EU 4 times before it is finished.
If we leave without a deal, that is four lots of WTO Tariffs and 4 lots of paperwork.
Wine from the EU would be subject to a 32% Tariff, so yes, it will hurt the EU, but not a lot, most of the cost of alcohol in the UK is Tax.
Cheese, well we export a lot to the EU. so that is going to hurt us.
Once again it is going to be the paperwork which is going to hit us, loads of it for every single container we Export.
The problem is this.
We have been entangled with the EU for 40 years now, we use their standards and their paperwork.
The deed has already been done on this, much to the surprise of the Brexiteers.
The day we leave, we stop using the EU systems and standards.
That should come as no shock to any sane person, we have left, we have to either get our own or pay the EU to continue using theirs.
Boris and Co blithely assumed that we would just continue using them at no cost.
The same idiots, Boris in particular, assumed that we would continue to be a part of the 80 odd Trade Agreements that the EU have signed with other other Countries under WTO Rules.
A very quick response, the UK will no longer be part of the EU, so no longer a part of any of these deals.
Naff off and negotiate your own.
The WTO have accepted this, they have to, it is part of their rules.
When we leave, the EU loses a major donor of funds, they will recover this money and more from the UK.
We would do the same, why is anyone surprised?
The EU is struggling financially, it will struggle more when we leave due to the loss of our payments to the EU Budget.
They now have a golden opportunity to not only replace those lost funds, but to grab £ Billions more to fund the EU Project.
The would be mad not to take that opportunity, and whatever we think of them, Merkel and Co are not idiots.
A simple thing like moving Euro Clearing from London back to the remaining EU States will give them £20 Billion or so extra Taxes, so we save £8 billion or so net by leaving and they get that back plus an extra £12 Billion a year.
The big red bus anyone?
We save £350 million a week, let's spend it on the NHS?
A complete lie, we are going to get stuffed.
The sad thing is, all this was completely avoidable.
If Cameron and Osborne had put the plans in place and got all the systems ready before calling the Referendum, we would have had a couple of years of a bumpy ride, then quids in.
The arrogant gits did not, so we suffer, the ordinary people, not them.
Osborne is now off earning over £600,000 a year with his two jobs.
If Boris had kept his mouth shut and not referred to the EU as Nazis, they would not be so determined to punish us.
Is this an argument to stay in the EU.
Nope, I have no wish, intention or desire to stay in what has now become a complete travesty of what we joined up to.
Out we go, we will make a good go of it on our own.
My anger is directed against our bloody stupid Politicians who will lose absolutely no money themselves, but who have ensured that the rest of us will for the next decade, when, with a little bit of planning and realism, we would have had a short, sharp shock and then have been quids in.
