Oh dear. And I thought Brexit was gonna benefit the country. Should I wave my flag extra hard? Will that help?

I'm from Scotland and voted remain but I'd change my vote if I could tbh. Brexit is shit but there's no plans for a western global economy other than cheap labour sweatshops and injecting more cultural unrest into Europe so multinational corporations can cash in on the desperation. The EU will last another 20 years tops before it bursts into flames. Better off out before it blows.

That is an interesting take but I don’t agree.

We are already seeing the need for the lowering of standards in the UK if we are to compete with cheap oversees products and labour markets.

The NZ trade deal demonstrates that UK farmers will not be able to compete on price. Why? Cheaper production costs in NZ with lower wages, more intensive farming (hugely larger farms and volume of livestock), and permitted use of hormone injections and pesticides. For UK farmers to compete in price this can only go one way, lower food and farming standards and lower wages to reduce production costs.

Multiply that by free trade deals with the likes of India and China without the negotiating power of being in the EU, and this can only go one way.

Brexit was the Trojan Horse to allow the very rich and powerful 0.1% to start the process of diluting and reducing employment/workers rights and human rights.

Nobody is saying the EU was perfect, far from it, but Brexit (as it stands and has been “designed” is a con).

You mean the blue passports that we could have had as members of the EU since there was no restriction on the colour of passports?

"Ffs you lost the vote, you didn’t win, move on get over. "

Based on your posting history I’d say this is genuine rather than satire right?

When something is so blatantly causing harm and will cause increased harm in future to normal everyday people, then no I don’t think we should move on.

Did the anti-EU brigade move on for 40 years?

Nah, this is going to run and run. Feel free to dip out any time you want and bask in your apparent “victory”.

Nobody's employee rights or working rights have changed or have been watered down at this moment in time. There is also nothing in the pipe line at present either. As an employer I check these things, check the acas website if you wish to dispute this but telling people there rights have changed or are going too is simply false.

But clearly we like bitching. We had 40yrs of the anti EU brigade bitching and moaning. It’s quite cathartic.

As for the future, well a permanent 4% hit on GDP for one.

Add to that the desire (by this govt) to reduce employment/worker rights and human rights and you don’t need much of a crystal ball.

But you keep believing and take solace from your certainty that you can tell me I am wrong as we go forward.

You can still do all those things and many more, you just have to do them differently like me. You personally have not been threatened at all with your human rights. And even though I voted remain the statement about employment rights is false, so I called it as is.

It is coming. The people who were driving Brexit want to create Singapore-on-Thames."

Do they?, i voted remain as I stated so I wouldn't know if that's what they want or not. If that's what you believe will happen with rights then fair enough but I personally don't and it certainly isn't happening at this moment in time.

@_eanocool there is a lot of info out there but a starting point is to look into Dominic Raab and his views. Then note the job he has.

Pure economics also dictate that if this Govt are going to cut deals like the one with NZ or the one with Australia (when they are formalised) that quite frankly should have been totally in favour of the UK as the larger/richer market, then for our own industries to compete on price will require a reduction in production costs. How can that be achieved?

That protection from countries with less regulation and cheaper cost base is the very reason for imposing tariffs!

I know what Dominic raab has said in the past, and maybe that is what he wants, but I don't believe it will happen, there would be too much backlash if the government went for it, I suspect enough for a u turn if they did try. I can assure you I know very well how tariffs work and how they effect business etc, as a company that has a global reach we deal with these issues on a daily basis, you seem to assume that we will need to drop our prices to compete but if our product is of a superior quality and is recognised as such im the market place then why would we need to drop prices?, my own companies product is good example of this, we are not the cheapest at all but we have a good reputation for quality and reliability and innovation that has been built up over time to allow us to sell our products at a higher price than our competitors and more than compete with them.

I will also add the reason I believe the government is cutting deals with Australia and NZ that are not massively in our favour is because this is all part of the push to join the cptpp which is the ultimate goal for them.

The deals that are being done now are not the same as being a full member as I am sure you are aware, these current deals still include tariffs on both sides for instance that full membership would remove which I would guess in the long run is far more beneficial to all parties in the partnership than each individual member having side deals. Those countries in the partnership already had trade deals with each other before the partnership was formed, so it stands to reason it must be beneficial otherwise the cptpp would never have formed.

Its the same game thats played in trade all across the world in business evey day, speculate to accumulate as they say, which is what this is, and deals that have been done although not massively beneficial to us are also not massively detrimental to us either if we don't become a member and the overall gain in the long term is what is at stake. Its how business is done mate.

I’m genuinely pleased that you are succeeding and will in no way knock that.

What in theory would you do if others matched your quality and service but had 20% cheaper production costs. Where do go with that? You will know some products are just marketed as better but they are in truth they same as the cheaper option. The threat of cheaper imports which appear to be equal in quality is a real threat for many food producers.

Cheap meat raised on growth hormones will be able to be sold into the ready meal market destroying U.K. producers who have higher costlier standards.

I agree if you’re in the market for a rolls Royce you won’t buy a BMW. An Audi Q 8 is the same as Lamborghini Urus with a few cheaper bits added so the brand reputation keeps the Urus price high.

But when you’re looking at a Nissan against a Hyundai or a meat pie in a blue box against a meat pie in a green box. Price will dictate the choice as the apparent quality is the same.

The mass market, mass produced products are the losers with cheap unregulated alternatives.

Well thats your opinion, but as a businessman I see opportunities for my business to increase in what is a massively growing market and any deal that is done which reduces tariffs for my business trading with those countries is a good thing. I have stated on here before where my company is growing and where that growth is increasing and its in those countries not the EU I am afraid mate.

I guess that is possible in the future, but I cant imagine us shifting all production out there. We have been where we are for over a hundred yrs, we have our own foundry so are some what self sufficient for some of our product which helps with costs and enables us to be very adaptive to meet customer requests. We have a good, pretty much local well skilled and time served workforce that are loyal and really makes the business what it is today.

The other issue i have with moving production from in house is we have in the past tried to use other companies to produce some components for us when we have been stretched and we always seem to have quality issues when components arrive which has often led to remedial work being carried out by ourselves so we can use the product to meet the deadline, which in turn then wipes out any cost saving. As I said our quality is our name so any cost saving cannot come at the jeopardy at that.

That is an interesting take but I don’t agree.

We are already seeing the need for the lowering of standards in the UK if we are to compete with cheap oversees products and labour markets.

Multiply that by free trade deals with the likes of India and China without the negotiating power of being in the EU, and this can only go one way.

Brexit was the Trojan Horse to allow the very rich and powerful 0.1% to start the process of diluting and reducing employment/workers rights and human rights.

Each to their own I guess. I fear we're beyond the laws of supply and demand though, the EU has destroyed traditional European values and identity through mass economic migration. The foundations are gone so there is nothing left to hold it together long term. Hungary, Poland and Greece already looking for the nearest exit.

Some are mate, we do what we call a standard range which covers most common uses across the different business sectors i mentioned earlier, these tend to be larger batch sizes, but we also have a made to order section which tends to deal with smaller batch but very bespoke components, sometimes designed from scratch to meet the individual requirements of the application in conjunction with the customer.

I am agreeing with everything you say but ultimately price will dictate a purchase if the gap is too big.

Years ago we used to export gear rings for trucks . The top truck at the time was Scania and their spec was heavily over engineered. The spec for the DAFs was half the spec..

10 years later the specs were the same as the Scania trucks were losing market share due to their pricing. It’s not just about what you can sell it for it’s what your customer can sell their product for too.

I do wish you all the very best though.

Yeah I know what you are saying mate, our original design of the split bearing which was bespoke to us, it was patented at one piont, is now widely copied and available from many other manufacturers, although from the in house testing we routinely carry out they are still not able to match us on quality or reliability, but they did eat into our market share. Equally though we have not sat on our laurels and have been busy creating a new split tapered design which we recently have put onto the market to try and keep us one step ahead of the competition, and so far so good because nobody can match our current load ratings.

Not yet but they are heading that way. Britain never outright said it wanted to leave. David Cameron passed the go ahead for the referendum to take place because it was a dead cert to be a remain winning vote. The domestic working class felt otherwise.

Most European countries teach kids about the EU in school. So their populations understand what it is, and how it works.

Knowledge and understanding like that equips people to deal with propaganda. The main reason it was so easy to fool people into voting leave here was that they could blame the EU for everything that was wrong in their lives, and they could brush off all the information about the actual impact of brexit as "project fear".

That won't be as easy elsewhere.

Plus they can just look at the utter carnage caused to the economy by brexit, twice as bad as the pandemic, and think "hmmmm maybe not".

As mentioned above, some fringe far right groups are pushing for other countries to leave. But it's very unlikely to get any traction.

Because there is no long term sustainability of the EU for those reasons. Even Germanys election polls have slowly shifted towards conservatism. Brexit has opened the door for other nations to question the narrative.

For the average working person I don't believe much will change either way but the UK can't economically sustain anymore migration that much is obvious and that's why the leave vote passed.

At the end of the day eastern European countries are never going to alter their Christian state religious institutions. Islamic migrants won't integrate. It would make the troubles in Ireland look like a tea party. Not everything can be solved with money. Afghanistan proved that recently.

That is an interesting take but I don’t agree.

We are already seeing the need for the lowering of standards in the UK if we are to compete with cheap oversees products and labour markets.

Multiply that by free trade deals with the likes of India and China without the negotiating power of being in the EU, and this can only go one way.

Brexit was the Trojan Horse to allow the very rich and powerful 0.1% to start the process of diluting and reducing employment/workers rights and human rights.

Nobody is saying the EU was perfect, far from it, but Brexit (as it stands and has been “designed” is a con).

No they aren’t,

Neither Hungary, Poland or Greece have said they want to leave.

Actually to be fair a neo-nazi party in Greece has.

Italy and Greece will always lean towards fascism. It's greco-latin in origin. Clocks ticking on those two.

So how exactly is this related to the collapse in trade with the EU?

What brexit benefits (tangible) does it bring?

For the average working person I don't believe much will change either way but the UK can't economically sustain anymore migration that much is obvious and that's why the leave vote passed."

there is no real evidence the EU is not sustainable in the long term (they probably said that about the US federal structure and the Swiss canton ststem

The migration comment is very much inaccurate, the UK gets a net benefit from migrants, at worst, breaks even. This has been documented by the Migration Observatory.

In my neck of the woods, most people are only a couple of generations from being from somewhere else.

Most European countries teach kids about the EU in school. So their populations understand what it is, and how it works.

That won't be as easy elsewhere.

Migrants integrate just fine. All humans get on well, except bigots. And I don't think we're at the point that bigots outnumber ordinary people.

In any case. Even if you are right, it's unlikely these countries will be able to blame the EU for all their woes like the British media and government did.

Apart from the stabbings, bombings and rising crime rates and wealth inequality all across Europe... the lockdown crushed small business as a fine addition. I beg to differ. This has all steadily increased through immigration, research the stats pre Iraq war. The left abuse it to buy votes and pat themselves on the back. The right abuse it for cheap labour and divide and conquer power gains, it's a house of cards.

What net benefits and to whom? Their countries have been bombed to oblivion and the survivors shipped here to work on zero hour contracts. The migration observatory doesn't measure quality of life or cultural barriers.

Loyalists and republicans in Ireland are both Christian and genetically related in every way. They still want to annihilate one another.

sorry, your response is all over the sjop, i will try and make sense of it.

Apart from the stabbings, bombings and rising crime rates and wealth inequality all across Europe. - so non immigrants don't indulfe in those things? wow

the lockdown crushed small business as a fine addition - what has that to do with migration?

This has all steadily increased through immigration, research the stats pre Iraq war - not sure the point you are trying to make

The left abuse it to buy votes and pat themselves on the back. - thats just daft

The right abuse it for cheap labour and divide and conquer power gains, it's a house of cards. - erm, then vote against the right

What net benefits and to whom? - the uk economy benefits

Their countries have been bombed to oblivion and the survivors shipped here to work on zero hour contracts. - don't want them bombed, then vote accordingly, and yet to see someone shipped to the uk to do a zero hours job

The migration observatory doesn't measure quality of life or cultural barriers. - yet what it does measure contradicts your stance

Loyalists and republicans in Ireland are both Christian and genetically related in every way. They still want to annihilate one another. - what has this to do with migration 9post the 17th centuary)?

There are plenty of bigots migrating over whom are coming here to make money with no interest in conforming to modernity. This is exclusively a western construct. Predominantly only western Europe and the US, Canada.

The EU is the current ruling political body that regulates freedom of movement. It's a capitalist trading bloc one minute then a socialist elite tea party the next. You can't be both and I can't see why the fault won't inevitably land at it's door.

Absolutely. They don't. The EU has a horrific attitude towards non-EU citizens.

The wall they paid for on the border between Turkey and Syria as an example. (The chap above would likely approve of most of this).

Not sure any of this is a good justification for people who don't like foreigners voting to make us all poorer.

Brexit is bad I get it but we're (The Irish) still heading over in our droves as there are so many well paid work opportunities esp in construction.

Only downside being the cost of housing/accommodation.

Many guys here work in England during the week and return home at weekends as the money over there is good.

Only downside being the cost of housing/accommodation.

Many guys here work in England during the week and return home at weekends as the money over there is good.

thats how free movement works, both parties benefit

Then why did the leave vote win?

Same with most Scottish people there's not much here career wise. The Irish built America, can't knock back that CV

Because people are confused as fuck and think foreigners are the problem and that the Taliban are "running things now". See above.

Clearly a joke prior.

So everyone who doesn't agree with unlimited mass migration with no clear economical outcome or planned sustainability other than throwing people into refugee camps and hostels is... wait for it... *drum roll* Racist...

How free and liberal are the countries they are migrating from?

As the chap above said EU nations are putting up fences.

Leave your front door unlocked for the rest of your life. See where your utopian ideals land you.

My god...

"unlimited mass migration with no clear economical outcome or planned sustainability other than throwing people into refugee camps and hostels"

Where is this happening then, apart from the pages of the Express/Sun/Mail?

"How free and liberal are the countries they are migrating from? "

Absolutely, these people are desperately looking for a new life for themselves.

Not sure why you associate not blaming Foreigners for everything, with leaving your door unlocked.

You for real... Greece. Poland Italy. They're rotting to death in EU camps in Libya too.

There isn't the work or housing able to sustain it here and it's majority fighting age males with little marriage opportunities shipping over.

If we invested in their countries markets instead of vaporising them they would have been fine. Your beloved globalist institutions didn't want new market competition.

I'm not blaming foreigners at all. I just understand that poverty is the mother of crime. It's heat or eat for most people in England already. The doors have closed.
