I don't agree. For every negative argument, there is a positive response and vice versa. For some people on here, they are totally blind to the possibility that the UK might do very well out of Brexit. It is not inconceivable that both sides could benefit if it acts as a wake up call to certain Eurocrats who cannot see any solution to the EU's problems other than ever closer union.

If you pay close attention to noises coming out of the EU, you will realise that the former eastern bloc countries are seeking to roll back the EU project to pre-Maastricht as they see the French in particular trying to resurrect the Franco-German axis now that the UK is leaving - and they don't like it one bit. Their memories of being subjugated by one socialist power are very raw and they don't want to find themselves subject to another.

This must be resolved one way or the other and resolved before Scotland leaves the EU/Single Market.

I think the Scottish May local elections might make things clearer - clearly all Scottish voters wanting to Leave the EU - 40% - should vote anything but Nicola.

Of the course the natural extrapolation from any reasonable person to your article is that Nissan, Vauxhall and Mini are off isn`t it?

Project Fear continues unabated - funded by Blair's millions (all made on the back of the Iraq war).

It is like groundhog day - It is as if the past 9 months never happened.

BMW are arguing for the very same thing JUST AS WE SAID GERMAN BUSINESS WOULD

I sometimes wonder if you're reading the same things as everyone else. BMW have explicitly said they are considering moving some production away from the UK.

Do you have any citations for German businesses that are driving to protect UK trade over everything else? All the sources I've seen show the opposite - that they view UK trade largely with indifference and just want it over with so they can adjust and move on (with/without the same UK trade).

Dyson shrugs off Brexit fears by unveiling plans to expand UK workforce and open new site

UK technology company Dyson has announced that it is massively increasing its UK workforce and opening a new site, shrugging off fears cited by some that a hard Brexit might hamper companies' ability to trade, generate profit and hire.
Echoing similar expansion plans from the likes of Amazon, Google and Facebook, the company said on Tuesday it was opening a second research and development campus in the UK, on land in Wiltshire that was previously occupied by the Ministry of Defence.
The opening of the 517-acre Hullavington site, which is close to Dyson's Malmesbury headquarters, will increase the group's footprint in the UK by tenfold, the company said. A spokeswoman for Dyson said that over the longer term, the group aims to double it's UK workforce.

It's more like a panto with each passing year I reckon.

The whole Trump thing. It's almost as though sheer belief will outwin traditional thinking.

The SNP likewise seem determined to push through an independence at any price agenda.

Then there's the Euro crisis, or the refugee issues.

You're right. It's not one panto. It's like half a dozen!
