I'm guessing that Seph is thinking that the powers of the Honourable Member for the 18th Century have extended into defence procurement. :D

They're also pretty good at blockading our major EU trading port, Calais.

Which only encourages us to move our traffic to Rotterdam.

Sadly, that makes the UK less competitive when crunch decisions on basing future operations are made.

We feel your sadness, Andrew. :rolleyes:

Increasing time and costs and making our exports less competitive.

These things aren't relevant for those on an ideological crusade.

And you appear to be projecting...

Pointing out relevant facts, and obvious untruths in your posts, isn’t getting "into a lather" - it’s called debating.

Are the car-makers finally coming to Britain's rescue?

Quote:

Europe’s car manufacturers have called on Brussels to take a less restrictive stance on future market access to the UK, warning that aspects of the bloc’s current position are “not in the long-term interests of the EU automotive industry”.

The letter from the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA) — a group that represents companies including BMW, Toyota and Fiat — urges Brussels to “reconsider its position” on rules for determining whether goods will qualify for tariff-free trade. The group’s specific demands include that the EU should lower the percentage of components in a car that must be either European or British for the vehicle to qualify for the benefits of any EU-UK trade deal.
