"That doesn't matter more customers to our Rolls Royce and Bentleys!"
It is ironic how there could be income tax on Bentley bodies coming from the factories in Germany where they're made.

Rolls Royce - BMW owned, UK is screwdriver plant
Bentley - VW owned, UK is screwdriver plant.

Goodbye to both plants, they will be moved to Europe, requires 75% EU sourcing.

Fucking owned indeed. In fucking deed.
Mini is also BMW owned and Vauxhall is intertwined with Opel (GM)

I found the question put to the PM yesterday about a second referendum on the details of brexit:
Video
Text:

To me, him saying that the referendum was on a "principled question" is deliberately diminishing it as a practical mandate.

At other points in the session where the subject of a second referendum came up he said stuff like that the result should stand and the will of the people should be accepted, but on this specific question on another referendum regarding the details he seems to be saying that nothing should be ruled out.

To me, he is saying we now need to move on and look at the best way to work out our EU exit.

Anyway, thanks for finding this Doopliss, I remembered his 'will of the people' answers clearly but not the one you C&Ped.

If the union held the opinions of all the countries in it equal they wouldn't have this mess.

For some reason the whole of UK voted as a single entity. Two out of four countries (plus London) voted to remain, and they should have the right to veto.

Seems to me that the nation is run by schoolboys from London's elite schools. Why would they give a damn about the rest of UK?

WTF? And Farage actually used this as an example during the EU parliament session?

I'm torn between.....

Brexit IOT2I England leaves scot free.

Brexit |OT2| The UK loves to leave the European Union

Brexit IOT2I Britannia Waives the Rules

I like the first option as the irony is too deep to understand properly. The third option is contains so many levels that a cheat code is necessary to grasp it.

*thinks about it*

I got it!

I know we're supposed to come together in unity and some such, but your avatar, man. Seriously.
Oh, sorry ! I had this exact Godot-avatar back in 2014 and didn't know someone took it since (or I've never seen it used on gaming side if you've used it before)
!
I'll change it !

Absolutely disgusting. She says she lives in a middle class area and it is pensioners who are instigating it.

There are no words.

LOL, that would be amazing.
Is Aston Martin at least to be still build in the UK?
 
More like taking our hands off our eyes so we can see the actual reality of the situation.

The situation right now is a mess, but much of it is due to uncertainty. Things will settle down. All I'm saying is we are not totally fucked... Yet. We need calm heads, not panic to make things worse.

Get out with your EU sense of bureaucratic democracy. We'll have nothing of that.

Should probably not trust the 7-11 security cameras quite so much
VDA (german car manufacturers association) "No access to single market without freedom of movement"

Damn wasnt the german car manufacturer argument the strongest one UK had?

Didn't you get the memo? The age of experts is over! Whatever Britain wants, our Glorious Leader (TBA) will secure it for us!

Requires 75% EU sourcing to sell your shit into Europe without tariff. That plant will also be moved to Europe.

I'm legit dying now how funny this is. I only just realised the EU rule. Single fucking market motherfucker.

Cars!!! Most of the cars made in the UK don't belong to the British!
They belong to Japanese, American, Germans and French companies!!!
They are only counted as UK exports just for tax and tariffs purposes

Sorry .. i just have to spit this out ....

We just stick them together, well at least until we leave...
 
Yeah, it doesn't bode well for the future. The result has given the racists a sense of confidence that they simply wouldn't have had before. In their minds, the will of the people has spoken and they said "leave" (the EU). But the word "leave" is also being interpreted as "permission to force anyone who merely looks foreign to leave the country." That's why we're seeing incidents where racists are telling people to get out as if they have been given the right to force people out.

And the thing that gets me is that there were people from ethnic minorities who contributed to this emerging social disharmony by voting to leave. They've inevitably helped to make anyone that doesn't look English feel uncomfortable when they go about their daily business.
These Brexit empowered racists aren't gonna care if you're were born in the UK or voted leave too. If you look "foreign" then you're fair game.

Yup. My girlfriends dizz-brain sister, who got brainwashed into voting leave by her little england boyfriend, has already been told that "once we get the poles out, you are next"

Her boyfriends responce? "Calm down. It's not like they called you a nigger".

She is still with him, and still making excuses.

I've told my girlfriend, neither are allowed in our home.

Probably, but they just signed a deal to get all their power plants and some electronics from Mercedes-AMG, which just got a bit more complicated. But they are owned by different funds. They are also pretty small.

I can only think of 3 British owned vehicle manufacturers off the top of my head...

Morgan (small, specialist)
Ariel (small, specialist)
Triumph (only makes motorcycles, 2/3 of them are knocked together in Thailand anyway)

Edit: forgot about Norton! But not sure they count as they make about a dozen bikes a year

Holy fuck. Her boyfriend excused it?!
 
We can start a lot of new car manufacturing companies. It's a low risk industry so I'm sure investors will be rushing in to get it going in an economy that's heading to such a great direction.

We used to have a Rover, but that brand has been gone for a while.

Reposting from earlier in the thread because Farage evidently is as ignorant as he appears to be.

There has to be some kind of future change in attitude when it comes to opposition politics, and on a fundamental level.
This destructive pattern of behavior keeps coming up again and again in every democracy around the world.

The argument that "Things should be done differently but I have no idea how" can not and should not be tolerated as a viable ideological platform.
