KopTalk.com Forums Brexit and the chequers agreement ?

Don't always agree with everyone but always better to engage with people of at least moderate intelligence. To do otherwise is a waste of time.

Surely you condemn your government lying in relation to the Nissan deal?

No idea what your point is about Nissan I have just watched the BBC news and so what ? The government offered a package of grants that were to be incepted on future events Nissan have now decided to manufacture the diesel x trail in Japan. That's business particularly with the collapse in market for diesels. If you had a brain it would be worth asking your point but I know you don't so I won't

No 10 is refusing to disclose what state support has been given to Nissan to convince the car manufacturer to boost production at its Sunderland plant despite its worries about Brexit. Downing Street insisted there was no “sweetheart deal” with the Japanese company, but acknowledged that Theresa May had given some assurances to the wider industry that it would be protected from the impact of the UK’s withdrawal from the EU ...

No 10 refused to say what has been promised to the car industry or to say whether any public money was involved, although it signalled that it had not made any declaration to the EU about a proposal to offer state aid. “The assurances are that we will get the best possible deal from leaving the EU,” May’s deputy official spokesman said. “There was no special deal for Nissan.”

£61 million sounds fairly special don't you think?

It's a moot point whether it was a sweetheart deal or not. But what if it was ? Governments do this all the time. I don't understand what the issue is other than trying to bash Britain. As for politicians spinning things and bending the truth hello ? That's all polticians do

The car industry world wide is having the biggest shake up since the ford popular in the 30,s. New technology and new entrants to the market dyson google tesla plus the diesel crisis. My car is due for renewal in next year and it's replacement is going to have to last what I buy I will have to think very hard. One thing for sure the internal combustion engine won't be the long term future. I am sure brexit uncertainly is a factor but it's nothing like the major factor affecting the car industry and blaming it on brexit is just silly

What has Dyson and Google got to do with the car industry, if anything they would be suppliers. Tesla is in deep shyte and will be taken over rather sooner or later according to me, their distribution is too slow to allow economies of scale. The car industry is quickly turning to electric at the expense of mainly diesel, and JLR is going to produced its i-pace in the EU (Austria) while a new plant is being opened in the EU (Slovakia). Probably nothing to do with Brexit, but I wonder why they would produce there, do you know?

Absolutely no idea do you know ?
