  1. I wonder why German activists targetted Tesla rather than Mercedes or BMW.
  2. https://www.energyvoice.com/oilandgas/547524/exxon-asks-traders-in-brussels-to-move-to-london-amid-expansion/ Exxon Mobil asked traders in Brussels to relocate to London, people familiar with the matter said, as the oil giant continues to reorganize its growing trading business. Brussels-based refined products traders were informed on Thursday that they have to decide whether to relocate or leave the company this year, one of the people said.
  3. The UK's outperformace of the Eurozone is becoming a consistent trend in economic statistics.
  4. The EU allows for people to put a progressive veneer on policies that would be seen as far-right in the Anglosphere. If you want to enjoy the benefits of a ghetto-busting, anti-Western migration policy while looking down on the unenlightened racists back home, the EU is the place to be.
  5. 2010: German interior minister says asylum seekers should be kept in camps in North Africa and sees nothing wrong with sending people back https://www.sueddeutsche.de/politik/sz-interview-mit-otto-schily-ich-finde-nichts-anstoessiges-daran-menschen-zurueckzufuehren-1.305629
  6. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2003/jan/27/immigration.immigrationandpublicservices Tony Blair yesterday held out the prospect of Britain withdrawing from its obligations under the European convention on human rights if its latest wave of asylum reforms failed to stem the flow of unfounded asylum seekers.
  7. Asian energy groups flock to London to set up LNG trading desks https://www.ft.com/content/f6019746-e7df-40da-ad88-53eff8d531c4
  8. Today: £1 = €1.16 Ten years ago today: £1 = €1.15
  9. We're on track for the biggest ever tourism numbers this year. Presumably they're all coming to laugh at us in our isolation? https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/london-tourism-visitors-economy-international-arrivals-summer-b1097836.html
  10. It's curious that someone with an international outlook who is very concerned about our image abroad can only cite British sources about how we are allegedly a laughing stock.
  11. You're really quite ignorant. WTO disputes are only interstate. https://www.wto.org/english/tratop_e/dispu_e/disp_settlement_cbt_e/c1s4p1_e.htm
  12. When was the last time you were "in Europe" in order to make these observations?
  13. Who do you think is going to bring a WTO case against us? It's a completely fictitious scenario.
  14. It's nice of you to own up that the scaremongering about the devastation of British farming due to being flooded with substandard imports was just gaslighting.
  15. You can still spend three or four months a year in France and Spain without any real additional hassle. If you stayed much longer than that even before Brexit then you would have had the hassle of being deemed a resident for tax purposes so in practice there were still limitations.
  16. You read about businesses that are negatively impacted every day because it's newsworthy, whereas business carrying on as normal is not, but you can't extrapolate from that to the whole economy. It will take time for everything to adjust to new trading patterns. It remains a fact that we have the closest EU trading relationship of any country that is outside the European institutions, so it's perverse to say that we are closed off.
  17. De facto we are certainly not closing ourselves off from the EU. At the margins there will be businesses that are affected like yours but you can't multiply that experience over the whole economy.
  18. You just said yourself that there were problems with unions and useless management.
  19. The adoption of a genuine white heat of technology approach in the 1970s and 1980s might have benefited from some initial protection from unfettered access to our domestic market by established continental competitors. It's worth considering that perhaps joining the EEC was the wrong decision in the first place.
  20. That says doesn't say it's an "optimistic" forecast, as claimed by the liar @Confusion of VIs.
