Bye Bye Boris!

Exactly, we can all make up figures to prove anything!

Which figures are made up, Rich?

the ones in your post - you even say they’re hard to predict and so you’ve made them up.

The only figure estimated is the decrease in sales, but it's not an unreasonable estimate. The rest are accurate (albeit rounded up in the case of UK sales, the actual figure was 9.6% for 2018).

The point is, the impact on those in the EU is almost immaterial compared to the impact on us.

Also, I don’t think it’ll be too long before a deal is struck if we leave without one.

You have no idea how much sales would decrease by (no one does of course) which is pretty important in the equation!

And anyway, using the example of “German cars” isn’t a great one to show two way trading traffic!

As an example, for the EU/Canada deal, it was all started in 2009, all of the negotiations were completed in 2014. It then took a further 4 years to be fully ratified into law on both sides.

How much would sales have to reduce by to be material to BMW, and how big a drop do YOU think a 10% price rise would reasonably affect sales, given an environment where almost the entire car market will be impacted (e.g. all BMWs competitors will face the same issue)?

and we’re 3 years in already!

I’m just bored of the constant negativity - what do you want/think should to happen?

No, but it’s possible to make reasonable assumptions based on how we know things work. Or, do you think there’s a chance that a 10% rise in prices will lead to increased sales?

You simply don’t have an argument that stands up to any reasonable analysis hence the “shouty remainer” bullshit. It’s all any of you have: blind faith based on nothing.

we Haven’t discussed trade in the event of no deal at all. They’re currently talking about leaving on WTO terms.

That’s also just one of the trade deals we’d need to sort out.

We’re not 3 years in already. We’re 3 years into negotiating the Withdrawal Agreement. We’ve not even started on a trade deal.

The negativity is there because it is an overwhelmingly negative situation. Let’s try again: what are the positive tangible benefits of Brexit? Anyone?

that ship has sailed. I am as fucked off as anyone about Brexit.

But it will happen, so there really is no point sitting here whining about what could have been. The only thing worth discussing now is what is the best course going forward.

So again, what do you want/think should to happen?

Revocation of Article 50 and let the whole failed project die. I'd have thought that was obvious?

If those people spent as much effort getting behind their own country it would be an easier journey. Unfortunately most dont think like you Rich and would rather see failure so they can say 'told you so'. Frightening really.

Do you get your brexit script in the mail.

I am behind my country: I want the best possible economic position for my country, and that is not outside the largest trading bloc in the world, and frankly I'm sick of you people trying to pretend that your deliberate act of economic and social vandalism is in any way patriotic.

He gets it from Steve Bannon's Global Nationalist Network.

But you know full well that that can’t happen because the country voted to leave.

I know there’s arguments and legal loops and all the rest that says we don’t have to, but just because we’re on the side that thinks the whole thing is stupid, there are more on the other side who don’t.

So the only choices we have left are how we leave.
