Where's [MENTION=6443]Chris_the_Brit[/MENTION] and his fawning idolatry for what Mogg and Farage spout?

Tom Williams, chief operating officer of Airbus Commercial Aircraft, said: "In any scenario, Brexit has severe negative consequences for the UK aerospace industry and Airbus in particular.

"Therefore, immediate mitigation measures would need to be accelerated.

"While Airbus understands that the political process must go on, as a responsible business we require immediate details on the pragmatic steps that should be taken to operate competitively.

"Without these, Airbus believes that the impacts on our UK operations could be significant.

"We have sought to highlight our concerns over the past 12 months, without success.

"Far from 'project fear', this is a dawning reality for Airbus. Put simply, a no-deal scenario directly threatens Airbus's future in the UK."

The risk assessment says: "A no-deal Brexit must be avoided, as it would force Airbus to reconsider its footprint in the country, its investments in the UK and at large its dependency on the UK.

"Given the 'no-deal/hard Brexit' uncertainties, the company's dependence on and investment in the flagship Wing Of Tomorrow programme would also have to be revisited, and corresponding key competencies grown outside the UK.

"This extremely negative outcome for Airbus would be catastrophic.

Just brilliant! Then the UK would manufacture wings that Airbus would still not buy.

But I’m sure the UK can use a pile of wings.

Nigel Farage on Brexit in June 2016: "The worst case possible scenario is better than where we are."

Nigel Farage today: "Brexit done badly will leave us in a worse position."
 
Last libtard commie bureaucrat lie before sleeping:

Britain's economy is 2.1% smaller than if it had voted to stay in the EU, according to new research.

Higher levels of borrowing as a result of foregone growth mean the UK government is having to borrow an additional £23 billion a year.

That means Brexit is already costing the Treasury £440 million a week.

Theresa May claimed last week she would fund extra NHS spending through a "Brexit dividend," but researchers said the dividend does not exist.

Silly boy :p

when their lips are moving they're lying. You haven't been watching the traitorous trio of Farage, Mogg and Johnson talking?


Also, I find it quite funny that autocorrect wanted to change Mogg to Mogadishu :crylaugh:
 
BMW executive says would shut UK plants if Brexit hits supply chain

BMW (BMWG.DE) would have to close its Mini and Rolls-Royce plants in Britain if Brexit seriously disrupts its supply chain, an executive at the German carmaker told the Financial Times.

The warning follows concerns voiced last week by the head of Siemens’ (SIEGn.DE) operations in Britain, who told Reuters that the country should stay in the European Union customs union, contrary to the British government’s policy.

And an idiotic brexiteer style answer to that.

“F*** business.” Never was the Brexit manifesto more succinctly captured than in Boris Johnson’s impromptu aside. As slogans go, it has everything. It surfs the populist wave of anger towards elites. It is easy to understand. Hell, it’s even shorter than “take back control”.

The UK’s foreign secretary apparently outlined his new business strategy at a private reception, when challenged about the clamour from Airbus and BMW over the threat to jobs and investment. Mr Johnson’s aides say the remark was aimed at business lobbyists. It makes little difference. (He has now fled to Kabul to avoid having to resign rather than vote with the government for a new runway at Heathrow. The foreign secretary had said he would lie down in front of the bulldozers. It turns out he preferred to lie low.)

“F*** business.” It may have been a casual aside but it was also a revealingly contemptuous one, not least in its indifference to the fate of Airbus’s UK staff. This is the strategic nihilism of a spoiled child lashing out. After two years of failing to offer up even a scintilla of a plan, relying on magical thinking and the belief that if Britain just held its nerve, Europe would fold, this is all he had left — a petulant explosion.

So busy reviewing a tender today of four potential suppliers.

2 from the UK and 2 from France. Contract will be approximately 7 years.

We legitimately discussed whether Brexit may have an effect on the 2 French bidders because of uncertainty with customs, delivery delays at the border and whether we will have to deal with any unknown costs because of this big unknown.

UK suppliers are roughly 20% more expensive.

Why did they do this to me!!!! So unnecessarily complicated.
 
A third of European firms to cut investment because of Brexit - survey

One in three European firms plans to cut investment spending as a result of Brexit and more than one-tenth of those with operations in Britain expects to pull out of the country entirely, according to a survey by Swiss bank UBS.

Half of the companies do not expect Britain leaving the European Union to change their investment plans, the survey of 600 euro zone firms, published on Tuesday, showed.

But the number of companies suggesting they will make cuts within the next six to 12 months and citing Brexit as the reason rose for the first time in two years, to 34 percent.

With the likely trading and regulatory environment once Britain leaves the EU next March still uncertain, businesses are becoming increasingly vocal.

Germany’s Siemens (SIEGn.DE) and Airbus (AIR.PA) both said last week that a British withdrawal from the EU without a deal could threaten future investment and even their presence in the country, putting thousands of British jobs at risk.

Uncertainty over Brexit has halved new investment in the British car industry, the country’s main car lobby group said on Tuesday.
