Hang on there Rigsby, you are comparing the fight against the Nazis with Brexit?

Wow, you are really demeaning the efforts and lives of the people from all round the world who fought and died to oppose tyranny.

How many died in WW2? How many died in Brexit?

You have really scraped the bottom of the barrel with that post, hang your head in shame!

Nissan announce their new model will now be made in Japan.Also that the uncertainty over Brexit was a factor in the decision.

"While we have taken this decision for business reasons, the continued uncertainty around the UK's future relationship with the EU is not helping companies like ours to plan for the future,"

Whoops.Think Blues exile and I forgot perhaps on of the most significant elements in those old WW2 films ( and certainly one of the most important regarding the current Brexit debate).I'm talking about the (usually) casual racism expressed towards foreigners.Not only nations GB was actually fighting against,the Germans,Italians and Japanese but also nations we were actually allied with,the French,Poles and Americans etc.The latter group were usually depicted as good chaps but not quite having the true Britisher"right stuff."

This attitude has, of course, been reflected in recent British films like Dunkirk and the two recent Churchill bio-pics.It also informs the attitude of many Brexiteers, who see a cliff-edge Brexit at the end of March on WTO terms, as being a re-run of "our finest hour" after Dunkirk in 1941 when GB "stood alone" against Nazi Germany.

In that sense,to paraphrase Eldridge Cleaver,it makes the UK very much "part of the problem" rather than "part of the solution" in terms of negotiations with the EU.

It is of course disingenuous to suggest that because one does not buy into the Churchill myth that automatically makes that person a 'Britain hater'. The UK has produced many internationally respected and revered people over the centuries in politics, the arts, science etc. of whom we can be very proud. It is perhaps indicative of some mind sets of the Brexit persuasion that it is the 'war heroes' names that first spring to mind.

Blow it out your a*** mate.
 
The European, and to an extent North American, markets for new diesel engined cars is on its knees. That's what all this is about.

That's the primary reason Nissan have moved their planned manufacturing operations to Japan. The vast majority of these gas guzzling 3.2, 3.8 and 4.0 X Trails that were to be built in Sunderland were always destined for the near Asian and Chinese markets. Makes perfect sense to move the manufacturing base nearer to the market and cut costs accordingly. Exactly what James Dyson has done.

Still, makes for a good anti Brexit link dontcha think :Smile:
