Brexit Deal

[Felonious Crud]

In the case of JCB the EU imposes high tariffs on the import of steel from China. Reciprocally there are high import duties for cars and heavy plant. The same is true for other parts of the world.

JCB’s biggest export markets are outside the EU.


I would imagine that the thinking is that these tariffs could be reduced if the UK wasn’t part of the EU and could negotiate its own treaties.


PS the price of gold is fixed by the US and other countries such as Nigeria, the Poles also have quite a say which is why precious metals should be traded in Zloty.

Haha, yes. Poles! Those crazy fools will bring the markets crashing down. I blame the Bilderberg Group. It's eating us alive. From chicken feet to TV signal encryption. It controls the media and makes us think batshit crazy d4mn fool jibba jabba crazy sh!t stuff. Gold is a hold for me.

I vote that we take it in turns to annoy Wattie. I like how it makes him type in asterisks. I'll go first. Geoff, you're next.

The gold market is a conspiracy and the value of gold over the last 50 years has been artificially throttled by successive hostile foreign governments under the control of a secret band of business people, probably German ones. Or French, or something like that. Anyone who buys gold is an idiot and must only pay in ZAR and sell in AUD, or barter for chickens. It's ****. Gold does not exist.

If Watti doesn’t like the outcome - can he ask for a second referendum? Or perhaps there will be no confidence in the forum to conduct this properly.

I like brown sauce on fried eggs, but salmon with scrambled eggs is lovely. Try marmite on toast with poached eggs . Yum

Thanks for completing the 10 year challenge. We can now check our computer aging algorithms on another data point......

No way! Out means nowt! Or was it owt? Oh, God, I don't know but somebody needs to do something, for heaven's sake. Is this the kind of world in which I must raise my children, my standards, or my flag up the pole of someone else's insanity? Only faith can save us now, and her new album is dull. Roll on December the 50th. Or the floor. Oh, who cares. We're all doomed, d4mn them.

Yes, sanity is back! With Tabasco. Remember the Tabasco. How did it not get a look in so far on this hottest of spicy topics? I blame the Inuits.

Coming soon to a Daily Mail front page near you....E.U to ban Tabasco Sauce because it tastes good and because it fits into our narrative............

Thanks for the straight answer, very rare in this thread.

Chinese steel was 'dumped' on the EU market so now it has high tariffs to protect the EU Steel makers, but why don't JCB buy steel from Port Talbot, Sheffiel or sCUNThorpe or Middlesborough? Is Bamford being selfish?

 

[philw696]

Here we go plan B.

 

[midlifecrisis]

MAybe this swear filter is actually AI, I'm very calm and can say Scunthorpe... whereas Wattie is very ******** annoyed

They can and presumably do but if Chinese steel was tariff free it would be cheaper than U.K. steel. So their diggers would cost less to make. JCB make more money. If China didn’t tax imports of JCBs they would also make more money.

The EU is quite protectionist which benefits trade within it borders. But not so good for trade with the rest of the world. This is the financial argument for Brexit. Whether it holds water for the U.K. economy as a whole is another question.

 

[midlifecrisis]

At the expense of OUR steel industry...Great answer!

 

[midlifecrisis]

Seriously this is why I'll never understand the 'Leave' argument. OK we'll leave and have our own trade deals but they take time, fair enough the EU is protectionist but who is it protecting? Erm, us? It encourages internal trade first surely.
