The big Brexit thread - news, updates and discussion

[MrSki]

This could prove tricky with new trade deals if conditions are in place that UK must honour its current treaties.

I'm not saying it's not wonderful, but it appears to be a speculative planning application with no money behind it, rather than "factual jobs".

well, kind of. It does say this in the very first para. If Coventry are going to turn down their own planing applications we might as well all jump off the imaginary Brexit cliff. clutching tambourines:

A planning application for a new battery gigafactory situated at Coventry Airport has been submitted by a newly formed joint venture partnership between Coventry City Council and Coventry Airport.

but won't someone think of road managers >>

I was reading about this this morning. Oddly enough, it has nothing to do with brexit, there is nothing in this proposal that would have been impossible within the EU. If you want to show that Brexit has been good for manufacturing you'll need to show more than 'investment hasn't collapsed 100%' and that it has increased since pre-brexit days

 

[Loose meat]

Of course it has little to do with Brexit. The world economy, climate change and decarbonisation doesn't revolve around Brexit. What it shows is that the UK isn't driving off Remoaner Starmer's much-repeated economic cliff.

I don't have to show anythng -look at £/euro, £/$, gilt rates, low paid wage rises, unemplyment 4.7% (accepting reducing furlough), 800,000 advertised vacancies ...

My post was a response to Mr Tambourine Man and his relentless negativity.

You, on the other hand, are a failed keyboard bully - so you can fuck off. Now, please. You sad little shit.

blimey, you're a little tetchy. I thought we were meant to be the ones who just threw abuse about? It's almost as if you are making it up as you go along.

I'm in the music industry. Give me a nice big list of Brexit related reasons why I - and others in the industry - should now be feeling a-quiver with positivity.

And please, calm down.

No, look at the end of the article. There's no money behind the application. They are just looking to get planning permission as a first step (or, more likely, in the hope they can convince Tesla to buy the land in a few years' time). It's just property speculation, in other words.

Always, always check your notes.

Go wave your flag to that lot.

I don't think they're so much into waving flags as shagging them. Or maybe having a #craftywank over one.

This is the same site - the airport, so maybe there is a plan.

You must have something in your state propaganda file, no?

Relentless posting of the social media output of capital's propaganda arms; what I come to Urban for.

Lamenting when capital feels pain seem to be the sole purpose of these threads, is that why you come here?

 

[gosub]

So in your opinion, every single job you've posted here is a direct result of Brexit, and wouldn't have existed without it? Or are you just acting like some hyperbolic Tory PR outlet, where we're supposed to celebrate every new job being created (while ignoring the jobs being lost, the hardships being suffered by others and the shitty working conditions for many)?

Nope those jobs a result of some interesting litium finds in Cornwall and Batteries' made here being awarded pretty much Single Market status (well in comparison to those made in Asia anyway)

They are lovely. A lot more tasty than bullet peas.

Petit pois bourgeois

That's what they want you to think

If it comes to it, I'll just make my own petits pois by forcing marrowfats through a sieve.

Making the peas kind of mushy.

This could catch on.

When I said there were no petit pois in Sainsbury's a few weeks ago I also said there were no peas of any sort or frozen beans for that matter.
