Brexit has been cancelled

I think you have in previous post quoted him to. ( In fact I'm sure of it). I don't think either I have commented on my nationality which may be more complicated than you think or know.

Your reply is not rebuttal but personal slur, try playing the ball not the person.


He does have a problem ... kinda one dimensional, well 2 dimensional if you include he's pro Lie-bore

It is a remarkable thing that, as you have written, governments of all parties have seen it as a good thing to subsidise our competitors while undermining our own workforce. I don't blame the EU for this nor for taken advantage of it, any more than I would a fox for killing Mrs Danllan's hens, but I'd nonetheless remove the fox from the equation.
Trade and specialization create economic growth and employment. This process has continued for centuries in or out of trading blocs. Old jobs disappear new ones are created. It’s a case of adapt or die in the labour market. For you and wanton dwarf to deny this is ridiculous.

Couldn't agree more; but you are silly, attributing words again... You will not find a single instance of me advocating anything other than a free market, that is a key reason I voted to leave the EU. What's your point again?

It's a strange thing to say jobs die out and then they re-appear 1000s of miles away ... and they just so happen not to be paying the same level of Environmental taxes ... kinda spooky, a "magician" destroys a factory with one hand & hey presto a new factory appears in the other ... "just like that"

We produced Steel in Sheffield for over 200 years, all gone because some posh git couldn't be bothered ... if you consider our history it goes back a lot longer than that.

"When China's economic development slows down as it has done in the past five years, there's too much steel at home and producers cut prices to export the stuff. This time the steel glut is a huge one."

In response the USA put on a 500% tax to stop their industry being decimated

My original point was that brexit was undeliverable by the current government. Their manifesto cannot be delivered. Therefore further instruction from the electorate is necessary. These points are valid and relevant to the thread unlike the contradictory red herrings trotted out by you and wanton dwarf.

Yes they reappear in China where wages are much lower.

Oh and BTW how do you see the reduction in EU agricultural prices after Russia put sanctions on EU agricultural products ?

The EU put sanctions on Russia during the Ukraine crysis, the EU manufactured by giving 5,000,000,000 Euros to anti Russian groups by Baroness Catherine Ashton - Tony B-Liars mate - which caused Russia to put sanctions on EU agricutlural products which led to price drops across the board and crops rotting in the fields.

Is this also "Old jobs disappear and new ones created" ?

EU Climate Taxes are exactly the same ...

Wages are not the biggest factor in some industries

Energy costs are the biggest factor in heavy engineering

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2017/10/29/british-industry-faces-cost-energy-crisis-set-grow/

Germany hands out €9bn to heavy industry, dwarfing amount paid by Britain
https://www.ft.com/content/d91c122c-f828-11e5-96db-fc683b5e52db

The UK steel industry has complained bitterly for years that it pays higher energy costs than European peers. The Eurostat figures quoted in the BIS committee report make the point. In 2014, UK steelmakers paid about 80% above the EU median for their electricity. UK government policies to meet legally binding targets to reduce carbon emissions are partly responsible.

Well if you think production won’t gravitate toward the places where total costs are lowest you are bonkers. A large part of that is scale of production.


You're just making things up now

The fact is UK government & the EU have flushed UK businesses & jobs down the toilet using policy, regulation & taxes

Only an idiot would transfer goods 1000s of miles across oceans and claim it to be "environmentaly friendly" but that is EXACTLY what they've done

You and the other Brexit loving fools are the fantasists.

I'll quite EASILY point out how wrong you are

If your statement was true then no other country would have stood a chance when the UK dominated worldwide industrial production

Scale does NOT equate with success as is also shown in the UK business sector where jobs, training & employment is dominated by SME's

In fact further ... the whole reason why Steel WAS dumped on the world markets was BECAUSE the Chinese Steel producers were too large

You are entitled to your foolish opinion. But that’s all it is.

I think you will find that we can not compete with the likes of China, India etc.

Argos can supply you with a Chinese made item for £5 whereas if it was produced here it would cost £10.

What’s been impressive about the whole Brexit movement has been the sheer intellectual rigor and analytical precision of the argument put forward.
