    There is Brexit panic in Great Yarmouth- to the extent that the council have gone running to EU agencies for a hand out to invest in the port. Great Yarmouth voted to leave by a sizable majority. Idiots.

    Hardly important, especially when May caves in to recalcitrant Torres with concessions.
    Its hardly news worthy when the vote was stitched up days ago in parliament.
    No one knows what concessions she has made to keep the vote, and the party sailing in the same direction.
    The opposition, muddled though it is will be keeping its powder dry for the big vote in the autumn.

    With May saying brexit means brexit, then heading down the soft brexit route, who do you think will lead the government by the end of this year?

    As for butters, his arrogance is typical of the EU Commission members, who persuaded so many voters to want out of the E U. The same arrogant undemocratic commission that the remain camp is now defending.

    Airbus plans UK job cuts amid fears of hard Brexit impact

    The aerospace multinational firm Airbus is preparing to withdraw major investment from the UK due to concerns over Brexit negotiations, putting thousands of jobs at risk.
    The company is set to abandon plans to build aircraft wings in British factories over concerns that EU regulations will no longer apply from March 2019 and uncertainty over customs procedures, instead opting to transfer production to North America, China or elsewhere in the EU.

    The company, which directly employs 14,000 people at 25 sites in Britain and supports more than 110,000 jobs in the wider supply chain, also said a no-deal scenario would lead to “catastrophic” consequences, which could cost the company billions of pounds in delays and force Airbus to move large parts of its production to other countries.

    that's so typical of British arrogance and deviance, denying and turning things around when they are caught with their pants down

    chass, typical arrogant pensioner, think the UK is almighty and not responsible of anything, typical thought process of a loner or an islander

    what about British arrogance of thinking it was going to be easy, that leaving meant the EU was going to provide a roadmap and doing all the work for the Brits, and even give them a refund

    how delusional are you, you and all your Brexishit pensioners

    welcome to the real world, fookers

    A lengthy explanation, including your own narrative assigning beliefs and actions that do not belong to me, but make you feel superior.
    And you have the nerve to call me arrogant, you supercilious little bitch.

    For your edification.
    1. I am not a pensioner
    2. I left U.K. ten years ago
    3. The U.K. is a toilet, (albeit a highly civilized one by your standards)
    4. I am not the deluded one here.

    Airbus has warned it could leave the UK if the country exits the European Union single market and customs union without a transition deal.


    The European planemaker said the warning was not part of "project fear, but its "dawning reality".


    Airbus employs about 14,000 people at 25 different sites in the UK.


    Last week, the outgoing president of the CBI said sections of UK industry faced extinction unless the UK stayed in the EU customs union.


    It brings together the EU's 28 members in a duty-free area, with a common import tariff for non-EU goods.


    Prime Minister Theresa May has ruled out staying in the customs union. The UK is due to leave the EU on 29 March 2019.

    Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!"

    Rolls Royce is the only European aircraft engine manufacturer to supply Airbus and Boeing. The only real options instead of RR in this market is primarily Pratt and Whitney, or General Electric. Rolls Royce is also a wholly owned British company, answerable only to it's shareholders.

    Airbus on the other hand, is a multinational which is very much prone to political influence. It's not without irony that their UK rep has come out with this kind of statement just prior to the EU summit, I wonder why and at who's behest. Airbus has problems with it's A380, with quite a few being mothballed with operators not renewing their leases.

    The skills and logistics chain established for getting the A380 wings from the UK to Toulouse is very well established, and would take years to replicate in another location, whether elsewhere in the EU or US/China etc.

    Yet another phase of the fear mongering that occurred prior to and after the referendum. The hundreds of thousands of financial sector jobs that were going to disappear, that's now come down to the hundreds. With unemployment at record lows and corporate profits at record highs, a developed strategy for those EU citizens who wish to remain in the UK, I don't see any need to compromise.

    As an aside, on the NI issue, why is it the UK's problem? Why not tell the EU, well, we're just going to treat the border as we do at the moment, so you (EU) let us know what controls you're going to put in place that prevents us from doing so.

    It's originally a private British company that after liquidation and nationalisation is now wholly owned by shareholders, Rolls Royce is a multinational company based in the UK.

    What chance May is playing weak and out of her depth with the EU scum to demonstrate how malicious our 'friends' are, to eventually walk away in line with her early announcement that no deal is better than a bad deal? This virtually forces an election, Farage returns to the hustings and splits the Labour vote esp up norf, Corbyn gets left in the dust...

    Could our glorious leader be that smart?

    Indeed. As you rightly say, RR is a British registered company with multinational subsiduaries.

    Companies like.Airbus would.be.better lobbying the EU to give the UK a trading agreement than attempting to change the UK's course.

    Let's see how much internal pressure the EU is going to be under over the next few months.

    Some time ago I explained to our resident curmudgeon, Taxexile, that if the Brexshitters pursued their insane plans to quit the EU and its unfettered trading protocols , then car manufacturers would reconsider their investment plans and I cited BMW as a case in point following on from my chat with a BMW executive. Needless to say the demented old bathchair warrior merely flapped his gums and pooh-poohed the likelihood.
    Interesting to note today in the press that BMW have joined Airbus and warned the sclerotic, desiccated old bitch May that they too are offski if no deal is agreed and Britain loses its frictionless trading position.

    As I have said before, Honda estimates that for every 15 minute delay in its JIT operations it costs the company a Ł million loss annually.

    My desire to see an economic shit storm of armageddon proportions afflicting broken Brexshit Britain is becoming more likely by the day. It's actually quite fun and BArexshitters never fail to give you a laugh. Do you realise half of the employees at the Welsh Airbus factory in Broughton actually voted for Brexshit!!! I know the Welsh can be retarded at the best of times but that truly was a surprising fact even for the sheep-shagging imbeciles.

    Rolls Royce is now owned by Rolls Royce Holdings that is a multinational, which is the point Neo was trying to explain.

    CFM is joint European US and provides engines to Boeing, Airbus and the new Chinese plane maker Comac. Competition is fierce between these two companies and P&W so RR don't need any expensive fallout from Brexit.

    I'm not so sure about Airbus UK. They design the wings for Airbus as well as build them and are not so easy to replace.

    Not that there will be a no-deal brexit. Not even the maybot could get it so wrong. She'll squeal about her red lines until October and capitulate under pressure by Christmas.

    No, she's running out of road. The Irish question and the fundamentals of an exit agreement have to be sorted by October at the latest in order to be ratified by all 27 countries.

    The real crunch talks are 28th-29th June.

    If no progress then the EU may well pull the trigger themselves and hand the UK an ultimatum to be accepted in full or it's crash out time and WTO status with Britain having the same status as Bongo-Bongo land which in truth it is beginning to resemble anyway given the incompetence of May's cabinet.

    f*ck me.

    i see mystic meg, our resident end of the pier romanian fortune teller and chronic haemorrhoid sufferer is back again vainly attempting to validate her domesday predictions determined from nothing more than chicken bones, tea leaves and the deep seated hate fuelled prejudices that have resulted from the poor investment and financial management decisions made when the sun was shining and the pot was full.



    its not over till its over, the protagonists are still at the poker table waiting for the first blink.

    and as frightening as it sometimes appears, even if we leave with no deal, we will, in the long run, be better off out. fracture lines are beginning to open up in the eu, it cannot continue to exist as it does now. german dominance and bullying, is becoming tiresome to the other members, merkel is all but finished, macron and his federalisation agenda wont last the course and the rise of the right in the eastern countries and italy will result in a very different eu. it all started of course with merkels open door being unilaterally enforced on others.

    but the biggest threat to the uk at the moment comes not from brussels, we can certainly live without them, but from the homegrown revolution being planned by that retard corbyn and his dogma driven cohorts.

    Probably not design, but they make wing/tail components etc at Airbus's China plants. If the Chinese can be trained in a few years I don't see the UK holding onto the production.

    I'm beginning to think neither side wants a Brexit, for different reasons. If that's the case, at least they agree on something.
