Well fancy that:

LSH Auto UK is part of the Hong Kong-based Lei Shing Hong group, which bills itself as the world’s largest Mercedes-Benz retailer.

Lei Shing Hong bought the Mercedes-Benz Birmingham and Manchester market areas from the factory-owned Mercedes-Benz Retail dealer group in mid-2016 for an undisclosed sum.

The move covered four sites in Birmingham (Birmingham Central, Birmingham Used Cars, Tamworth and Solihull) and five sites in Manchester (Manchester Central, Manchester Used Cars, Whitefield, Macclesfield and Stockport).

It marked the first time the factory-owned group had disposed of any of its UK sites.


The site will hold 140 cars, 100 of which will be used vehicles.

Yep, good news for the 40 people who will be employed, but not the vote of confidence in post brexit UK from M.B. as you inferred.
Wonder where their profits will be going, Hong Kong maybe?

My prediction:

March 14 the house votes to request an extension of article 50.

March 21 the EU commission vote to accept the request, after spain's demands to release gibraltar are aknowledged.
The extension is at first discussed to be ending on july, when the new european parliament is installed. On second thoughts this is date is advanced to may 23, the day of elections for the european parliament. This is based on legal advice. If extended past election date the citizens of the UK are denied the fundamental right to vote for representation in the european parliament.

Late april, early may, the house decides that the extension period is too short for a second referendum or general elections. Faced with this inevitabilty the house decides to revoke article 50.
By this time UK citizens have more important things to think of (where to spent the vacation), and are only too glad brexit is over.

How does that sound?
Sounds excellent to me Solasch, pity we can't cut out all the nonsense and go straight to revoking Article 50 though.

Re: Well fancy that ...

Who knows what our moronic, self-serving, EU-loving MP's will vote on next week. One thing will be certain, it will be for their own benefit, not their constituents who voted leave. But come what may, Brexit has been a rocket up the backsides of the suited fatcats running the EU. Whereas in the past, they were living it up at the expense of European citizens and the British, with no accountability, once Brexit happened, the eyes of the world were suddenly delving into every facet of that dictatorship.

Remainers may be smirking over the EU's intransigence with the UK, with the help of traitorous people like Grieve and Soubry, it's comforting to know that even the self-proclaimed Emperors themselves, Merkel and Macron, have been well and truly bludgeoned by their own citizens, who have finally seen them in their true colours.

Whatever happens in the future, it looks as though a well-overdue big shake-up is coming to the EU. The elections in May will hopefully bring a huge change to the comfortable, crooked lives of many in that bearpit.
It won't stop the rot that has already taken place in the past, probably too late to save and stop it eventually imploding. I can only pray that we are safely far enough away from the sinking when it happens.

Well, thank you for the insights the UK delivered. I hope it was worth the costs for the UK to organisize a brexit and run it into the ground.
Thanks also for the insights into the british system of how your country is governed, it was enlightening and revealing.
I hope the UK is preparing for the european elections, because it looks like you will be participating along with the other 27 members of the EU.

Re: Well fancy that ...

Poor little EU lickspittles clearly rattled here.

Gaining absolutely zero traction.

Simply reinforcing all our minds that LEAVING was definitely the right thing to do.

Bless their little cotton socks.

Same old remain boring arguments that have been answered time and time again.

Yesterdays men still cling on to the past

And their failed ideologies
