quite interesting how a lot of responses from the EU regarding May's speech seem to be saying we won't let Britain pick at chose which aspects of EU membership they want to keep, when pretty much the main message of Mays speech was she doesnt intend to do that.......

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Yeah maybe. Especially at the premium end, people who can afford Mercs can afford to spend a bit more I imagine. So it wont be as big an effect as it will on Citroens and Renaults. But it will still have some effect. And it might grow if we get into full on protectionism / trade war territory, where people are actively encouraged to "buy British", or as near to it as possible, which in this case would be Nissan. But yeah, Nissan isnt really an equivalent of Merc is it. Tho there are some nice ones on Gran Turismo I notice.
Banks here are moving 1000's of jobs at the moment, they need to make money after misusing other peoples for the last decade.
That's exactly what I thought
Claxxon
Supreme court decision on 24th January
They need not to lose their passporting rights to the Eurozone
Germany, France. They are capable of making their own ports
But she is saying she wants special arrangements for this and special deal for that.
She is frightened of losing the City, service sector and investment
It's still the cake and eat it plan
......whilst simultaneously saying we want to negotiate
Why nake them? They already exist, the harbours of Hamburg and Antwerp are not that much smaller than Rotterdam´s.
Just as well May is now convinced that all sides are unifying and that it is a Brexit for all
Well yeah if the worlds 4th busiest port can dump all its traffic in one hit on the 26th busiest, if they are ready to cope.
Yeah. Because it's obvious no negotiations are necessary to establish the terms on which Britain leaves the EU.

Is it wise for a UK politician to link the phrase 'administer punishment beatings' and 'trade deals' as he's on his way to India to talk about trade deals on the UK's behalf? I mean, someone might easily forward the same advice to the Indian government just in case they plan not to give the UK the deal they want. Alternatively Hollande might ask whether the UK is still reluctant to give the Koh-in-Nooh back to its rightful owners. That would surely cause a healthy debate between the Indian PM and the UK foreign secretary.

Perhaps T May just wants to sit down with Claud Junk and discuss the best way to set up a tax haven and how to implement aggressive tax avoidance schemes, after all he is the EU's very own expert on that.
course she is frightened of losing the city thats obvious!
but saying she didn't go in saying i expect free trade while no free movement. course she said i want a custom deal, she wasn't gonna go in and say hey we will take whatever deal you want us too that would be daft, but their is a difference between saying hey i'd like to find a balanced deal that helps all sides as much as possible and having your cake and eating it.
Im not a May supporter and i would never vote for her in a million years, but she didn't go give a speech saying i want my cake an eat it.
Well she wants as much as possible access to single market, she wants full control over borders, she barely want to pay anything for it and if the EU doesn't give her a deal then she will turn the UK into the next Cayman Islands. That's all for the mutual benefit of both EU and UK of course.
Except the Cayman Islands have a small population and while we are letting firms not pay their taxes or lower taxes we still have services for our own population to finance from somewhere.
The Tories would be in trouble if we weren't a country obsessed with immigration. Everything would be just through that prism and on that front, the Tories are well and good.
And thats ok for Junck to do but not may?
seriously what did you want her to say? she point black said she know's she can't stay part of the free market, but of course she is going t say id like to negotiate a deal where their are as few tariffs between us as possible.... thats just sensible, what did you want her to say, hey we'd like to give you as much money as possible and take any deal you give us on trade? or where leaving the EU so lets all throw up tariff walls and not try and make a deal? ...... people complaining about that part of the speech wouLd complain about what ever she said.
The tax haven threat for my money was not something i support, but on the other hand apart from that she had given a speech that was if anything too compromising and probably felt she had to make a statement saying hey while we accept we can't have our cake and eat it we won't be pushed around either. But setting up a tax haven is not something i agree with in anyway, and understand why people had issues with that part of the speech.
Countries like Malta and the Isle of Man have also established differentiated tax regimes offering almost zero tax rates on profits distributed by parent companies and giving a great advantage to non-resident multinationals.
If its good enuff for Malta...
Preferably nothing.
well granted i'd rather her and pretty much everyone involved with British politics say nothing and go live together in a big hole full off spikes, But in all fairness she been criticised for months for not saying her plans so she couldn't really say nothing
Doesn't seem to have much good to say, so I'm still opting for nothing.
But do we consider that Johnson and Davies aren't talking for her? They complained about the eventuality of tarrifs, they talked about having access to the single market by paying for it and without FOM.
dammed if she does dammed if doesn't
Not the case. Spoke, sounded dumb, should have stopped speaking.
Obviously May's speech was in large part aimed at setting the tone for negotiations (i.e. we want to cooperate but we won't balk at just walking away), but it seems clear that she has taken the referendum as a mandate to leave without any EEA or Swiss-style quasi-membership.
As a remainer, I find it incredible that rights as a shareholder or bondholder in a company are protected by supermajority vote requirements for major issues but, as citizen, the country can change course irreversibly and disregard 40 years of history on the basis of 51.9%.

i don't consider Johnson is talking for anyone but himself and try to ignore what he says at all costs and why he is foreign secretary is just mind blowing and beyond stupid...... but what he said what the EU would be insane if they imposed tariffs.
What Davis said in response to a question was that they would consider paying for access to the free market, which is very diffrent to saying we expect access to the free market if we pay for it.
Well there you go then. They'll take the business if Holland becomes too time consuming
The press across the EU are now ripping into May over her speech. Thanks Theresa, this really makes us U.K. citizens living in EU countries feel much more secure, you ridiculous Little Englander mannequin of a human being.
That's the contradiction though isn't it. If we don't get good terms we will walk, she said. Form what? From the things we find is necessary to negotiate before we leave the EU
Yeah, you know what, we'll just move. Lifes easy, why complain about Brexit? They can just buy elsewhere. Easy
I didn't mention it would take time, over the years the goods would move away as capacity increased elsewhere
You're in the wrong country, I'm not hearing anything
