Who needs Macs when you can buy a 100% patriotic British computer like a Sinclair ZX or Amstrad.

Yeah you're right. I am sure Rolls Royce design their jet engines on a ZX81

It's really not happening.

It would be the perfect model, especially if we got together with the Swiss to put curbs on the migration aspect of it.

It's what the entire EU should be, rather than what it has become.

Well if you voted Leave you were clearly voting to Leave the single market - all the major politicians said so.

..but as you were keen to demonstrate earlier many politicians are deceitful liars.

The government will be deciding what people voted for and will let us know what it was in due course. Right now it's a bit hush hush.

Apple is simply profiteering here. There is no need for an apple device to increase by "hundreds of pounds" because of the devaluation in sterling. £20-30 max maybe. But up to £500? Simple profiteering....and people will pay it.

How much do you think a Macbook(priced previously at 2,499 as per the article) should be priced now when the USD/GBP rate goes from 1.49 to 1.21?

In the interest of objectivity:



So yes, it's not doom and gloom as those who advocate remain propose, but it's not blue sky either.

So it is possibly protectionist action. Interesting approach to make Brexit look like it will work, they needed a good news story so put their money where their mouth is. Soon we might have a part nationalized motor industry. It is a shame the government did not have such forethought with the steel industry and kept a hand in (Like Germany and France did/ they retained part government ownership and thus the ability to subsidize when necessary against Chinese dumping) that before they sold to the highest bidder and then let the E.U. laws on subsidies take over meaning it has all but gone to the wall.

If there is one thing to say short termism will not work with Brexit, they know the time periods involved 2-5-10 years.

Retail sales grow faster than expected, suggesting no Brexit fear amongst the great British public.
Faster than they have in a while in fact, according to the CBI:

On top of that, Britain is now forecast to have the strongest growth of any major economy this year:

Reality and fact.
So much better than predictions of doom.

As a neutral commentary, maybe it is panic buying, purchasing items of kit knowing full well they are going to go up in price.

The news doesn't fit your agenda it seems. That's the problem with having a fixed inflexible mindset ( like the EU). As nothing stands still. The world is constantly in a state of flux. Being at the forefront is what really matters.

Nissan would not wish to relocate that, it is a fact. A common sense fact.

The bottom line is.... does ANYONE really know what the outcome of that will be?

Danone will still want us buying their Yoghurt, Prosseco their bubbly and Audi their cars.
NOTHING WILL CHANGE, trade wise.


Lets imagine a date of say 30/March 2019. The French people are told prices are going to take a jump as Hollande wants to add tariffs. Moreover, French contracts start getting cancelled as British supermarkets turn away from them due to tariffs and barriers. French workers start getting laid off, Farmers going bust due to loss of UK contracts


Really, really?


No way

Only weeks back your lot warned us the Japanese would be leaving, that we must take their letter to the PM at face value, that Nissan would put investment on hold 'during years of uncertainty'


This revisionism is a bit silly
