If you think any business leader would come out and say we are closing our plant because you voted leave so it is payback time, i am not saying it was the sole cause but i find it hard to believe it did not have bearing on the decision. In the case of Honda it did not In my opinion it would be not be the best P.R. to issue a statement blaming the way a section of their customers voted in a referendum for the closure of a plant it would hardly push sales up would it?

I think "project deny"is now brexiteers answer to everything head in the sand and deny facts. " Ian Howells, senior vice-president for Honda in Europe, told the BBC: "We're seeing unprecedented change in the industry on a global scale. We have to move very swiftly to electrification of our vehicles because of demand of our customers and legislation. " This is not a Brexit-related issue for us, it's being made on the global-related changes I've spoken about." You'd better try to have a word Skem. He's way too far off message isn't he? He can't go around spouting the truth like this. Think of the damage it could do to Project Fear and paranoid, small minded remainers such as yourself and Oggy. BBC Link If you think any business leader would come out and say we are closing our plant because you voted leave so it is payback time, i am not saying it was the sole cause but i find it hard to believe it did not have bearing on the decision.

Honda has two factories in the EU zone, one is a logistics distribution centre ( no manufacturing ), the other produces motorcycle parts. So it looks like Honda will now move their car manufacturing back to Japan thanks to the EU no tariff deal. Nothing to do with Brexit, as Honda CEO has all ready stated, but I’m happy for you that you know better. I believe Honda more than you as to why Honda are moving.

The difference between us and those other clubs who slid down the leagues is that we are financially richer than most clubs in the Prem. The owners and benefactors are rich but they under F.F.P. rules and (even if they wanted to )cannot overspend, we have a bad a run with poor player signings and poor manager appointments but i think if given time we have got a bright future ahead of us,we are switching the style of play(as requested on this board) and that will not happen in weeks but months,sit tight and look forwards to brighter future.

See what happens when the largest export market for the major countries in the EU start charging customs duties . You will. See. Free trade deal suddenly become Entirely possible, no Irish border , no customs checks , no 20 mile queues at Dover I hope you are right. But we come from an awful negotiating position, particularly if there is a cliff edge Brexit in a few weeks. So any free trade deal will be massively in the EU’s favour and at a tremendous cost to us. It will be abysmal compared to the free trade deal we currently have with the EU. Also if what you say is true, why are the EU sticking to their position from day 1? Why is it us completely failing to have any coherance and stability in negotiations. If we are in the strong negotiating position you say we are, our government would have got a far better deal than they are failing to get now. Anyone who negotiates for a living can see which side holds all the trump cards, and it certainly isn’t us. But don’t blame the EU for our situation. It is our doing entirely. Leave voters blame the EU for everything rather than our own government. That’s why they voted to leave. Many thought leaving the EU would boost jobs, wages and release pressure on public services. The opposite is of course true as our economy worsens in comparison to being in the EU. Your final point hit`s` the nail on the head,the EU is blamed for our own government`s failings,the best chance of the poorer areas getting a financial boost was money from the EU whereas our own government spends the vast majority in the south-eastern area only . Biggest mistake ever made was to vote leave and i am afraid the worst effect`s will be felt by the areas that "won" the referendum (Sunderland etc.) and they will discover very soon just what they voted for.

The drift to annonimity gathers pace. Won’t be long till nobody outside North Staffs (and maybe Sierra Leone) is aware that we exist. And West Lancashire

Did the Man U players not stop playing and then improve under new management? Nope. They have just played 4 mediocre teams and would of got 10 points from 12 under Mourinho We played Bolton and drew Hull thrashed them 6-0 because they are a mediocre team

Well our football hit a new low today Rowett of course has to go but on repeat, that does not solve much I know players stop playing for a manager they don’t respect but where is the pride? Players need to take a long hard look at themselves No one above a 5. Well done Campbell mind Did the Man U players not stop playing and then improve under new management?

Anything is better than Hughes. Oops, sorry Lambert doh, no I mean Rowett Sorry I really am losing the plot here... Moyes. Moyes Out Now...anything's better than Moyes.... We need a poll...and a riot... What do we want? Something Else! When do we want it? Now...ideally before it's actually happened! Why do we want it? Because we deserve better. Even if we don't have a clue as to what would actually be better. And we won't like it anyway.... Like it. But more importantly what the bloody hell does your name mean? Think you will find Marrer is a Cumbrian name for a mate/pal.

We can leave the EU but we can`t leave Europe,and with the need to reduce the carbon footprint on all trade surely to shop local is the most commonsense approach to trade. Hopefully our politicians honour the result & we do indeed leave the EU. Yes you're right, we can't leave Europe because it is a geographical area, rather than a political organisation, no-one has ever suggested otherwise. (Apart from some Remoaners who struggle to understand the difference between the EU & Europe) Yes, you're right again, trading with Europe is a good thing... We don't need them to rule over us to trade with them though. Fair play to you too but millions didn't. I know someone who voted leave purely because he hates Cameron, someone else else because they wanted Farage as Prime minister and so on. Indeed. We saw plenty of examples on this very forum in the build-up to the referendum where people said things along the lines of "Well if that wanker Farage wants us to leave, that's all I need to hear to vote Remain". If you think being part of the EU is being ruled over i beg to differ,we had a say in (10% of votes) all decision, now when we had a empire those countries were RULED OVER?

I think Cameron was daft to call the vote,i also believe a lot of the out vote was a protest against the U.K. political system and a referendum was a clear way to show the government of this discontent,i personally believe the outcome of leaving the EU will be one we as a country will regret for many years if we do not keep the closest possible ties. We can leave the EU but we can`t leave Europe,and with the need to reduce the carbon footprint on all trade surely to shop local is the most commonsense approach to trade.
