This magnetic force is the reason people with metal false hips & knees used to walk funny, and why people who wear glasses are always having to push them back up on their nose
I may write a thesis on it someday

You forgot that bit about the Earth’s mass.

Re: Britain outside the EU
Well you need to differentiate whether you’re talking about the impact of the force of Earths gravity on the beings that inhabit the planet, and the effect of the Earth on the fabric of space/time and the gravitational impacts that result from that.

That would involve triaxellation of the space/time continuum.

Re: Britain outside the EU
I'm not well versed on the fabric of space/time and the gravitational impacts from it, but I can tell you the moon has a similar magnetic set up to earth.
In the case of the moon though, the magnetic field repels instead of attracts . . . . which is why there's bugger all up there.

Re: Britain outside the EU
oooops, the gravity of the situation requires we come back to earth with a bump
Nissan 'in talks to build huge UK battery factory'
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-57247758
Seems like nothing definite, but I guess there's some talking being done.
Quote:
In a statement, Nissan said: "Having established EV [electric vehicle] and battery production in the UK in 2013 for the Nissan Leaf, our Sunderland plant has played a pioneering role in developing the electric vehicle market.
"As previously announced, we will continue to electrify our line-up as part of our global journey towards carbon neutrality. However, we have no further plans to announce at this time."

Wouldn't having a plant producing these batteries mean possible problems importing the 'materials' in the amount required to do so?

How many of the materials come from the EU? Otherwise it's no different to before, and possibly easier when we set the import rules and tariffs.

I've no idea, just vaguely recall reading that there are some 'rare metals' that everyone and his dog are now chasing. Whether they're found in Europe, South America, India etc I don't know. If they are that rare, I can't see other countries giving them up cheaply

Then that's little to do with being inside or outside the EU. Australia, South America, and China, are the major producers of Lithium.

So a deal regarding Australian beef/lamb could be of benefit in other areas?

Re: Britain outside the EU
As others have said - car battery raw materials don’t come from the EU, so our non-membership of that institution isn’t an issue. Any battery manufacturer anywhere in the world faces the same issues here. A lot of rare earths come from China, and an increasing number of mines elsewhere in the world are owned by Chinese companies (and are therefore under the influence of the Chinese Communist Party).

Most manufacturers are moving away from Cobalt in Lithium batteries due to the political fallout from the DR Congo. Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries are what Elon Musk is chasing.

How? We are free to set zero tariffs for Lithium, as long as it applies to all countries. The problem in the future, will be exporting the batteries to the EU. EU being awkward as always.
The EU has suspended tariffs on a series of key materials, including Lithium. I should image the UK has followed, or even did so before the EU.
Then there is the future promise of UK produced Lithium from Cornwall. The UK might end up being the world's 2nd largest producer.
