RJRB Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 And if you choose to believe that the golden days of British manufacturing are in front of us then you would fall for the three card trick. The same people have never supported our own ailing industries and the developing world develops because it manufactures and exports its own products. The increased wealth of these countries does lead to their desire and ability to purchase luxury items,but as for the bulk of consumer goods....forget it. Brexit negotiations apart,any major project coming under government control almost invariably runs well over budget and the envisaged time scale. Place your faith in the majority of business leaders who know that a No Deal Brexit would have severe impact for years to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are the people who advocate unilaterally removing import tariffs which even they predict will lead to the elimination of manufacturing in the UK. Think how we'll fare negotiating trade deals post brexit if we've already given away the thing countries most want from trade deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tobacco industry spend years commissioning reports saying that smoking did no harm to people's health. The fossil fuel and petrochemical industries spent years commissioning reports saying that climate change and global warming were myths. Now you offer a report by an anti-EU, free trade economic think tank which says surprise, surprise 'the UK will be better off outside the EU in free trade deals with the rest of the world. Once again when leave supporters are asked for credible economic evidence that the UK will be better off outside the UK and once again, they come up with ......... nothing!
