I have news for you: the UK has also never ceded sovereignty to an undemocratic supra-national entity controlled by a major competitor. But never mind loosing the Japanese, in 3 - 4 years the UK will have a trade deal with New Zealand! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The only hope that they are now wishing is that they will be allowed to continue to do good business here in the UK." Why would they NOT be allowed to carry on as before? It is not a physical "allowed". The introduction of tariffs will not allow anything to cross the channel as before. In the same way the reduction in the pound does not allow the same return to the Japanese shareholders as it did before the referendum. They have been complaining for the last 3 years, bit surprising they are not demanding their money back. At the end of the day there is no "good business" without profit, only a failing business.

It is a very simple choice when there is nothing to choose from. Every car supplier in the UK has voiced an opinion on brexit, none of it good.

My favourite, passed on by you, was the claim Johnson was meeting John Bolton to discuss trade, an area of US Government policy he had absolutely no authority over.

My posting refers to what was written by @Scott123: ‘I am looking to buy a new Rav 4 next year now I will seriously think of changing my purchase to a country that shuts its mouth and keeps out of British politics.’ So that excludes USA-cars, was my reaction. Not much to do with import duties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Horses mouth' press releases are less likely to have been unduly spun in either direction and quite often differ significantly from whatever these boards have been spoonfed via the likes of Reuters or the Guardian.
