I see the Remoaners are out in force ranting about how Brexit is responsible for Nissan pulling the production of the new X-trail back to Japan.

Nothing to do with the fact that the range is almost entirely diesel engined or that the remarkably similar Quashquai sells by the truck load over here already.
 

Pow-Lo

The Remoaners will latch on to anything and everything to blame on Brexit. Bunch of twats. What really annoys me is those that claim this, that and the other will happen. Brexiteers are almost as bad. Thing is, the only thing we do know is that we don’t know. It’s uncharted territory and what will be will be.

Talking of Brexit, I’ve just spent the past three days on a bulk carrier unload CR steel on the Thames. There’s a load more coming in over the next couple of weeks and it’s being attributed to stockpiling because of Brexit.

A tip I did get by some of the terminal staff though was to stock up on bog paper pre-Brexit.

And the Brexiteers say every bit of bad news is nothing to do with Brexit.

Tell me I'm wrong!!

Companies acting as a result of uncertainty, the only thing that was guaranteed from the outset.
Like people buying up all the milk & bread when we get a bit of snow, not the snow’s fault but the fault of the mindless selfish morons.

I saw an interview with the head of one of the biggest UK importers of fruit and veg from Europe. He invisaged no problems with continuing to import post No deal.

nothing breeds uncertainty like uncertainty.

I have yet to meet anyone, including me, that understands the full implications.

How anyone can say otherwise is beyond me.

Going vegan is trendy at the moment, so you could always bag it and flog it to one of them. ;)

Just to bring a bit of balance.....

"On Sunday, when Nissan announced its decision not to build the X-Trail SUV in Sunderland, the firm's Europe chairman, Gianluca de Ficchy, said that "the continued uncertainty around the UK's future relationship with the EU is not helping companies like ours to plan for the future""

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-47120759


Who would have thought that Gianluca de Ficchy is a 'remoaner'.

:p
