      The Barnett Formula will be the first thing to go.

        We won't need it. We'll be keeping our own rich resources and trading withing the EU.

        Barnett was just a way of giving us pocket money back from our large input.

          Good luck with that.

              Lucky Churchill did not say that during WW2.

                Have you actually read the statement?

                “The significant challenges of electrification will see Honda revise its global manufacturing operations and focus activity in regions where it expects to have high production volumes.
                So, access to markets and efficient supply chain. Exactly what I said.

                  Eh up, can't read but never wrong is in.

                  The car industry is tanking globally.

                  I'm surprised you haven't blamed the Carlos Ghosn fiasco on Brexit yet.

                    You're happy to complain when I quote Honda. You're happy to make up claims, can you provide evidence to back your claim up?

                    Global car sales Archives - JATO
                    2017 sales were up 2.4%
                    Figures for the first half of 2018 were up 3.6%

                    Not exactly "tanking", unless your definition of "tanking" is "growing steadily"

                      More money washing, less industry, everyone else on the dole. Or servants to money managing business. Is it so difficult to figure this one out?
