Unbelievable Jeff

But what about the state aid given by Slovenia?

I think you're misunderstanding Shurlock here. He doesn't deny it's state aid. He's denying that the EU gave the state aid - which is correct. When we offered subsidies to Nissan, Toyota etc, was that through EU state aid? Oh, and the amount the UK Government is going to have to pay them now, without EU state aid (arf), is going to outweigh the benefits of having them here. Just another way we're going to spend that £350m per week.

Time to market is important which would be around 6 days for a truck to Abu Dhabi (for instance) and around 6 weeks for a container ship, and don't forget the fact that container ships don't ship to door. Why will UK customer loyalty be changed? They've been owned by Tata for years and it hasn't made any difference. And why would they care - they've got bigger markets to fry.

I've agreed Brexit is the excuse - however without that excuse they wouldn't have been able to push it through that quickly. Have you also thought about the fact that the EU is a much bigger market for JLR than the UK (and with the economic problems we're going to encounter the UK will further reduce), and that the complexity around movement of goods has a knock on effect? Or the fact that it has an easier trip to other markets (middle east) by road? The UK Government would have offered further subsidies - as they do to nearly all car manufacturing plants in the UK - but the issues above means there is no real negotiating tactics for it.

They probably would do eventually, yes, that's globalisation for you. But the reason they've been able to push this through quicker is due to Brexit. The excuse has made this possible, at this time.

Well, yes, Brexit has caused companies to move their manufacturing into Europe. The way try to counter that, is to not leave the EU, hence they don't have that excuse.

And what is that point?

Am I missing something here - are you arguing against yourself?

Why would it be appalling, out of interest?

Excellent post. Personally I've never posted about the potential of an EU army, but perhaps someone can tell me what the problem is with one?

I think Chicago can describe my feelings for you better than I ever could...

I find your insults boring. I find your opinions ****ing hilarious, so that's why you're not on ignore.

Why you getting so emotional over it, love?

I'm assuming a little bit of poo came out when you saw that, yes? I was in short trousers more recently than you, certainly. Just a quick thing - are you this unoriginal with insults in the rest of your life? You've repeated the same ones over and over to those of us that clearly aren't adolescents, and you're just starting to come across as a frightful bore, as well as a racist.

From an accounting point of view, he is.

Have to wait and see won't we?

:lol:

It's a joke - it's why I put a winking smiley at the end. Calm down.

It's alright mate, I've reported him here: https://cst.org.uk/report-incident We'll see if they want to do anything about it

If true, that's excellent news, no doubt.

Sorry, so what is the reason in your opinion for the increase in youth unemployment in France then?

I'm not saying it was free of corruption, but the Nazi's were still put in power democratically. Trump wasn't put into power without corruption, fake news and propaganda, but it's still classed as a democratic election.

She's obviously got no criminal law knowledge if she think's a crime has been committed. It's not right, and it is worse for a women receiving it from a man, but it's not illegal.

Oh definitely, but doesn't make the words any different. The issue is not with the words, rather the way they're delivered.

Well you can't do that, that's ridiculous. She needs to man the **** up.
