I have wondered for a while if car production in the midlands will be affected by Brexit.
I have family members and friends who are very reliant on JLP for work. All rabid brexiteers and very active on the Facebook being pro Tory, which i add is their freedom and right to do so, but i worry they may regret the decision long term.
Selling luxury cars to the continent is very a competitive market, so the last thing needed is import/export duties on these luxury items, or a massive increase in raw material/component costs for the same reason.

I read that as Grimsby’s seafood processing industry, not the fishermen want a deal done, so the fish don't go off waiting to be imported / exported ? I'm guessing the fishermen will wait and see. If they don't sell much to the continent now, and they get a much bigger slice of the home market, then I imagine they won't care as much as those importing / exporting.
1. Boris wins with a majority sufficient to do wtf he likes.... Pretty much, apart from ring Big Ben it seems.
2. He rips up the agreement he signed last week with the EU and we leave with no deal.
3. The government begins dismantling workers’ protection rights and environmental laws.
4. Unemployment grows alarmingly in northern areas which used to be Labour strongholds. Those losing their jobs squeal like little piggies that no-one warned them that this would happen.
5. The government begins to sell off parts of the NHS - waiting lists for treatment grow exponentially. Old folk in the south who’ve voted Tory all of their lives and who voted Leave squeal like little piggies that no-one ever told them this would happen and ask where the £350m per week went.
6. Corbyn gets dumped ... two years too late.
7. Daffodils rot in the fields of Cornwall. Cauliflowers rot in the fields of Lincolnshire.
8. Fishermen who’ve been able to trawl for scallops off the coast of France squeal like little piggies because now they have to fish for pilchards off the coast of Cornwall, and no-one wants to eat pilchards except cats, do they?
9. Empty shelves appear at supermarkets - actually, this isn’t a prediction as such, because it’s already happening.
10. Trafalgar Day is declared a Bank Holiday, and a new bye-law for that day allows anyone who can prove that they have English ancestors going back at least 8 generations are allowed to beat up anyone who can’t.
11. EPJ is going to thank is lucky fcuking stars that he doesn’t live here now...... I don't know who that is.

Selling luxury cars to the continent is very a competitive market, so the last thing needed is import/export duties on these luxury items, or a massive increase in raw material/component costs for the same reason. I guess we'll soon see. If the free trade continues, it probably won't make much difference to JLR If tariffs are introduced, then I would have thought the UK would import less German luxury cars, and buy more from JLR. I'm not sure how many cars JLR shift in the EU, but I'm in very little doubt, not nearly as many as the EU sells here. The raw materials will be cheaper. Presently the EU doesn't want to import steel (or have it dumped here as they call it). They restrict non-EU imports, and add tariffs (which go to the EU coffers). |

Surely 'Having your Skate and eating it' 😂 I’ll be returning to my predictions over the next few months as they all become true. |
