Sony, Dyson, Panasonic, Lloyds, Unilever, Goldman Sachs, Barclays, Airbus, Flybmi, P&O, HSBC, JP Morgan, UBS, Ford, Hitachi, Toshiba, AXA, Honda, Moneygram, Philips, European Banking Authority, European Medicines Agency, Bank of America, Inmarsat, NatWest, Aviva. They're moving all or part of their businesses out of the UK in the largest commercial exodus in British history, but apparently, it’s got nothing to do with Brexit and is just one, massive and unprecedented coincidence, despite all these companies having issued - without exception - Brexit warnings.
Listening to some Brexiteers, it would appear even Brexit is nothing to do with Brexit.
The above is from the last century, but was prescient.
Perversely, while sales of new diesel cars has nosedived, 2nd hand diesels are selling like never before. I can personally attest to that.
It's a pity the government can't plan to buy the Honda factory and turn it into one in which to make UK manufactured electric cars. Hang on, Dyson is doing that - could he be a rescuer? No, silly me, he's going to manufacture in Singapore, which has an FTA with the EU. In any case, products having the government as sponsors, or interfering in any way, shape or form don't have a good track record. we'd end up with an electric Trabant.
Apparently the Honda factory site used to be a Spitfire manufacturing site - we could go back to making Spitfires. It would be an apt metaphor for Brexit.
This business of Labour MPs crossing the floor - Labour is demanding they stand down as MPs and fight by elections. Funny - can't remember Churchill initiating by elections when he crossed the floor, nor the vast majority of other MPs who have crossed the floor throughout history. I'd certainly vote for these rebel Labour MPs - more so than Corbyn's Red Wedge and very certainly more than the internecine Tories, who are not only intent on destroying themselves, but want to take the nation with them, but that's nothing to do with Brexit either...
When will Britain wake up to the fact it has been duped and it's turning itself into a deathscape of squinty little hobgoblins with a hatred of novelty and imagination through the frustrations of warty old men who can't get over WWII. There is nothing good to say about Brexit, it's a sewage of primitive emotions, fear and ignorance, utterly devoid of any good.
You don't focus all your energies and decades into turning the UK into an attractive springboard for foreign companies to invest into the UK and trade with Europe, only to draw the rug from under their feet and expect no repercussions.
