Losing steel manufacturing should never be allowed to happen in any circumstances. It’s a strategically important industry.
If I see a geezer with a milk shake at our polling station they will be sorry, fluffy stupid remoaning hitler shitbags. They is going down
Surely some Brexiteer people want to have a pop at him for hiding under a rock after the vote, instead of following it through?
Quid pro quo fella, you still have questions to answer that you keep avoiding. As an aside, I believe our trident submarines metal came from france and armoured vehicles special metals came from sweden as british companies could not match the contract requirement. Steel production I believe equates to 0.1% of u.k. manufacturing .
Won't matter after Brexit. We'll be so poor, we won't be able to afford to float a Bathtub Navy, let alone a Royal one.
You've got a short memory fella... ...admittedly not Lib Dem or Change, but that was just you trying to avoid the fact that a remain supporting MP was murdered by a far right Leaver...
Cheap shot, Ant. Everyone knows Elise was referring to the Milkshake Anti-Democratic movement that is gripping the UK at present. Your contribution is quite ugly and unworthy of you. Maybe a bit a self-editorial judgement is suggested (I'll happily delete this post too).
Regarding the cost of getting stuff done in China...we have until last year been outsourcing cnc alloy work to China. But this year we can make it work with a French supplier. Marginally more expensive but worth it to avoid government intervention and costs at the export and import steps. Just recently, Customs inside Parcelforce has stepped up its import checking. We have a box of stuff that landed on May 3, we will not see the parcel until tomorrow. Until this year, importing into UK was a piece of piss. Now it is tough and I cant be arsed with this level of friction in trade. Happy to pay a bit more for less hassle. No offence against the Chinese, fuck the establishment for holding onto our stuff. We'll likely stop importing into the EU via UK altogether now. I think it is another typical sweeping statement, garnished with inferalls of 'I know what I am talking about' to suggest we simply can't compete with the Chinese. We can because I am. Their wages are creeping up and already they are investing in and outsourcing to Africa to keep their own costs down. Possibly in 20 years, in a post-Brexit Dystopia, Africa will be outsourcing to the UK.....lol.
Not so long ago there was a guy on the radio saying the same thing about cushions. The company I bought my armoured jeans from moved production from pakistan to Bradford
Look at these chumps. https://uk.sports.yahoo.com/video/brexit-supporting-mp-david-davies-105240929.html
It's creeping away from the Chinese perhaps. I obviously am not as well-informed in world economics and politics as are the Brexiteers on here, but it is happening in my company. So it is real. I guess there will be a few more like us. Would not have dreamed of it 10 years ago.
What would you say is the reason for the slow reduction in Chinese dominance in World markets? Coincidence? Complacency? Other countries waking up and using methodologies that compete with Chinese economic muscle? Something else?
I suspect there is an unstoppable economic pendulum that has been going on since the world started trading. Things just move around as the cheap labour markets start to flourish, inflation kicks in as property prices go up etc. I lived in Shanghai in 2000. The premium brands were just starting to move in then. Greed might be the ultimate reason for it. However, your question is loaded, right? You just want to give us your unmovable opinion, which of course we are all entitled to. Fire away.

You should have replied at , no I could not find Lib Dem or Change Party supporter that has been attacked by a far-right Leaver. Instead your trolling nature brought us to Joe cox, who was killed by a person who had life long mental health conditions, who the day before the murder had asked for help at his local centre in Birstall seeking help for his depression but was told to come back the following day Not right wing, right wing is a little off the centre, this is different that extremist right wing, let google be your friend if you are still confused
