An interview was terminated as it was not on the subject requested.

Yet another wealthy person has gone to a tax haven.

What have either to do with Brexit????

You forgot about the trusty reliable Hillman Imp.

Nothing directly but here's a couple of interesting points from that article. The fact that people perhaps listened to and trusted his views for leaving.


Ratcliffe describes himself as a lover of Britain

Yet, earlier in the same article....

In an interview with the Sunday Times to celebrate his success as “Britain’s most successful businessman”, Ratcliffe said: “What’s the reason to invest in the UK? Our skills are not great. We’ve got to deal with unions. We’re isolated from Europe. We’ve got logistical costs. Low tax rates help, but cheap energy could really help create those manufacturing jobs we need.”

The we're isolated from Europe i find particularly interesting. Because we all know that Brexit will draw us closer to the bosom of the EU.

No - I stand by that the "few people" might as well be none at all.

Who knows - who cares?

All irrelevant, we had a referendum, one of the largest Democratic processes in modern British history - there is no new information, except blatant scaremongering.

I care, you say you care greatly about our democracy, well I say those two campaigns were an insult to democracy and if any good can come out of them it's that electioneering like that is never allowed to happen again

So why are remainers so against it?

Have you considered that employment rules and regulations in Japan may make it more profitable to those companies to repatriate jobs?

It is never a plain simple "its because of or partly due to" Brexit.

Because it doesn’t make fiscal or manufacturing sense - they would be adding six weeks to the delivery time (shipping time Japan to Europe), and they would have to vastly expand the Just In Time supply chain for the car parts to build the car.

Why are remainers so against what? Sorry, you've lost me.

The man has clearly stated that one reason NOT to invest in the UK is due to it's distance from Europe, now, that could be logistically or it could be distance we don't know.

The same man then is a prominent advocate for a process which may well distance ourselves further from the EU (in the logistical sense)

You don't see a correlation as to how this is to do with Brexit ?

It does look like the secret sources of social media electioneering are starting to be investigated. Will be cold comfort to find out who was behind the micro targeting after we career off the cliff, when it is too late.

I did quote the relevant part of your post but as you missed it here it is again.

If you don't even understand what you are posting how do you expect anyone else to?

Any need for personal digs?

That particular part of the post was sarcasm.

Exactly, Hugh. Rocket science this certainly ain't!

Try reading what you are replying to before having a personal dig about sarcasm.

Is it down to Brexit?

Or is it down to the FTA Japan just signed with the EU which means they no longer have to have a presence in the EU to sell their cars tariff free. So they can take their manufacturing back to the UK reduce costs, employ Japanese workers and boost their own economy.

In Free Trade Globalisation, there are winners and losers.

This would have happened regardless of Brexit.

You think they don’t have supply chain in Japan?

"vastly expand"...

Not something that can be done easily to a complex JIT supply chain in a short time period.

Depends on how long and complex the JIT supply chain. I doubt very much they will be using EU manufacturers for their supply chain. Most likely "in house" as they used to or in Japan.

Won't bother the EU though as they don't need the UK and Brexit won't lead to EU job losses.Sarcasm.
