    That's more or less the gist of the comments at the Daily Express.

    Lots of "eyes bulging" there.

    I'm alright Jack

          Depends outside of EU, they will be dirt cheap, no longer will have to lump on a load of taxes to help these inefficient wastes of money.

          If we don't put tariffs on EU cars then hey presto and now they have to sell to this emerald isle whilst competing with outside countries.

          I'm happy I'm not subsiding Japanese car factories anymore.

                  I understand if something is not wrapped in an emotive, depressive statement you will struggle. So here goes...

                  Car people sad, no more protection from EU and no more subsidies. Cars get cheaper, people happy. Some people working for car company sad. Others not so, as drive cheaper cars.

                    How are we fecked? What percentage of our GDP is from car manufacturing? Minus subsidies and tariffs.
