It's good for UK to export all it's manufacturing goods. With the UK FTSE 100 many UK companies manufacture overseas and in addition import materials for manufacture in the UK.

Yeah get you I'm no expert but exports were good in 2017, looks like UK car industry may suffer on leaving but not sure for how long if someone UK takes a hard line. Link to comment

beautifulthailand99 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 There are still some British idiots who punt Btrexit on these boards - the ex head of the WTO said crashing out on WTO terms would be like going from the 1st to the 4th Division along with Bangladesh. Time for JRM and the other spivs , chancers and fools to put out a fully costed proposal as an alternative to staying in and put that to Parliament. Else we stay in and put an end to this madness. It's now well beyond a joke - WTO could get us a 30 baht pound if we are not careful. 1 Link to comment

It's good for UK to export all it's manufacturing goods. the UK imports a lot more than it exports and even the car exporters will be gone in 5-10 years regardless of deal or no deal,that leaves even less the pound would have to drop to something insanely low like €0.75 or $0.90 to trigger even a glimmer of a manufacturing recovery after brexit,btw that would mean a pound being worth about 28bt,the 1% rich you speak about were people with brains and sense hence they are rich,regrettably the UK is generally a nation of envious folks who think everyone that has made money is just lucky or born into it,ive lived with it for 25-30 years and iam not exactly rich but comfortable believe me the average brit is a despicable jealous human being,no surprise brexit won the day but they will pay the price and have already,£1500-2000 per adult/taxpayer was figure quoted a few month after the vote expats around the world god knows how much more,the £1500-2000 will end up being a lot higher 1 Link to comment

If there has been one thing consistent from the Hard Brexiteer crowd all the way through from David Davis doing nothing while supposedly negotiating it is that they have no intention of putting out a fully costed anything as far as Brexit is concerned. If there was then the markets would not be marking down sterling as they have been. What is on the table is the current agreement vs disorderly exit. And that is it, other than an even softer agreement with Labour. 1 Link to comment

Wrong again, The United Kingdom shipped US$445 billion worth of goods around the globe in 2017. That dollar amount reflects a -18.8% setback since 2013 but an 8.1% uptick from one year earlier in 2016. From January to September 2018, UK’s exported goods were valued at $368.7 billion. This 9-month metric puts UK exports on track for an annualized $491.6 billion estimated for all 2018. Based on estimates from the Central Intelligence Agency’s World Factbook, United Kingdom’s exported goods plus services represent 30.1% of total UK economic output or Gross Domestic Product. The analysis below focuses on exported products only. Name !! nah don't spell the same and your right the J A P manufacturing company was a great UK company and stupid UK rich in the UK did nothing to save it. Link to comment

Quote Of the 1.7 million cars produced in the U.K. in 2016, over half were exported to EU markets. Conversely, only around one in five cars produced in Germany head over the Channel but carmakers like BMW have production plants in the U.K. and Britain is Germany's fifth largest trading partner overall. https://www.politico.eu/article/german-industry-to-uk-we-wont-undermine-single-market-over-brexit/ Link to comment
