Brexit Two Months On

[MegaSteve]

That's why it's SO important to continue to have a solid car manufacturing industry! The associated supply chain is extremely important to maintain and grow - and preferable 're-shore', something the falling pound actually helps!

Unfortunately that is not how DfT wishes to view it....
It simply has to be his part of the UK versus the rest....


And, as I can't be asked to start a new post....

Why has the cost of prescriptions entered the 'debate'....

And, why the need for continuing bickering over the poxy 350M...

Last two points not aimed at you Foxy BTW...

Back to garden clearance...
And, my kale is looking to be a bumper crop this year...

Some 1 billion prescriptions are dispensed annually in England, with around £450m raised from prescription charges in 2012–2013. The think tank notes that while 40% of the population are liable to pay the prescription charge, in practice 90.6% of prescriptions are dispensed free of charge.

This is the reason the Scottish Government did away with prescription charges.
It was costing more to operate the charges structure.
Probably the same in England.

Is it just a coincidence then that there are 34 car manufacturing plants in the UK and that they are all situated in England.

Because the 'poxy' £350m/week could well have been key to many people voting Leave. Indeed the website @SR gave us the link to makes that very clear - never mind the Big Red Bus. And as the margin between Staying and Leaving was actually only 2 votes in a 100 - I think there is a very valid case for Remainers to press for a Brexit agreement that recognises economic and single market essentials, rather than simply anti-EU fixations.

You posted earlier that 'Leave' never explained what Brexit wanted to achieve. I posted a link to a site where they did outline what they wanted it to achieve and I could post many more, you now start picking at the detail. I agreed the £350 Million was an exaggeration just like Osbornes £4,300 was but you just keep on and on repeating the same old rhetoric.

Regarding Brexit, it means leaving the EU and not staying in it by a different name. We knew that when we voted and that's what we expect , not some 'Kings suit of clothes' Brexit.

Is it just a coincidence then that there are 34 car manufacturing plants in the UK and that they are all situated in England.

There are a great number of Companies in Scotland that manufacture for the UK car industry. After all, The rUK is Scotland's biggest Single Market.

And can you elaborate what the 'one' is that you wish me to do?

Pleased to help. Try the 'Urban Dictionary'

And, the relevance to Brexit???

Fairly confident in saying that there are plenty of businesses, all over the UK, supplying goods and services to the manufacturing plants who should also benefit...

And, the scaremongering of Osborne/Carney et al regarding the almost guaranteed immediate drop in value of our homes the stock market collapsing [impacting on our pension pots] counted for nowt? OK, not as tangible as 350M but would have concerned many...

BOTH sides spoke with forked tongues....

It should be easy for you to name 10 of these companies then.....without of course going to your usual source.

I don't. The referendum result should be acted upon to the wishes of the majority. If the result had gone the other way, i'm sure Remainers would be clamouring to retain their pro-eu fixations and ignore the wishes of the Leavers.
Why don't you all just get over it. You lost the referendum so get on with it and stop whining.:sbox:

No car plants though, I ask again.

Is that not a historical question...

As I simply cannot think of a Scottish car manufacturer [probably embarrassing when you tell me]...

There's definitely been a Welsh one and one from NI...

Oh... Still waiting on what prescription charges have to do with Brexit???

Oi, we had Delorean and Ford here! oh and the world known Crossle racing cars which is still going.

It was DeLorean I was thinking of... Thought Crossle was a bit tenuous [being racing cars] and embarrassingly forgot Ford had been there.... Much of my family having worked for the blue oval...

So if Scotland has no motor manufacturing the Government should do nothing for such an important industry.

Obviously, therefore, no help should be offered to whiskey distilleries as they don't really exist down here. Perhaps we also should not have bailed out RBS.

God that is soooooooo predictable.

Quite agree that the UK government should have done better.

There are no whiskey businesses in Scotland.
If you mean whisky businesses, most are hundreds of years old.

Modern car plants are about 30 years old. Re built after Thatcher destroyed UK car making.

I thought RBS moved its HQ to London before the Scottish Ref.

Do you think it is a coincidence?

BTW..........Hillman Imp....probably too young to remember:lol:

I wish....

And, as I said I would be... Embarrassed at not remembering Bill McGovern at the wheel of one [with a Saltire painted on the roof] back in the early 70's in the British Saloon Car C'ship... Hey ho!


Anyway you have something the rUK doesn't.... Faslane...
Must keep quite a few in employment and government subsidised...

And, the connection between prescription charges and Brexit?

No I remember the Imp, I had one new in 1972 and the build quality made Longbridge's rubbish look brilliant.

RBS HQ remains in Edinburgh and Fred Goodwin, the disgraced former CEO, is a native of that city.

As for modern car plants being modernised I would hope they are but many of them remain in their historic location e.g. Cowley, Halewood, Solihull, Castle Bromwich. By the way much as I did not care for her Mrs T was not responsible for the troubles of the motor industry. That was the responsibility of poor management and destructive trades unions, a truly toxic mix.

So yet again Old Boy I would have to ask is there a point to your post?

Re prescriptions....... I was responding to 'you know who's' unhinged comment re Scottish prescription charges. :lol:
BTW and OT if you really want interesting stuff google 'paracetamol and the NHS'
