While Britain was in the EU, French boats had access to British waters. And by the same token, British companies in other fields had access to other EU countries' domestic markets such as in finance or banking or whatever. When we leave, French fishermen will still want access to British waters and British companies will still want access to their erstwhile European markets. So there'll be a trade off probably. That's just how these things work. Hang on, they are OUR waters, and whilst you say that British companies had access to the EU, the EU companies had access to us! And they still will want access to finance and banking! And if you check out all the leading financial markets, they ALL expect London to remain a major financial hub! It was not a trade off for fishing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the same token why can't we have a share of Saudi oil, African diamonds or Spanish minerals, or German timber and gas, I could go on and on and on but it's ridiculous, we have voted to be an independent country again, why should we give our natural resources to another country, or in this case another 27?

Without balance you cannot make an informed decision, if you only read the guardian or indy, what would your opinions be based on? Like wise, if you only read the express?

But they are part of a single market. It's called ASEAN, which is currently in the process of expanding into RCEP (regional comprehensive economic partnership) consisting of the original ASEAN countires plus Koriea, China, Japan, Austraila India and New Zealand. It's a massive free trade area .https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regional_Comprehensive_Economic_Partnership . So how come your man doesn't know this?

JRM on the World This Weekend reckoned that it's possible to run a JIT supply line direct from Japan! A six week shipping time is not an issue apparently. Meanwhile, in the real world the Burnaston Toyota plant takes delivery of 50 lorry loads of parts a day from Toyota's distribution centre in Belgium and the CEO says that were only 48 of them to get through, production wouldn't just slow down - it would grind to a halt altogether.. But hey ho, what would he know about it. Probably just an agent for Project Fear anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said in a previous post nothing on this subject is un-biased. But sometimes the bias is founded on reality and sometimes it's not. The problem for me is that the author of the piece you linked to clearly has no interest at all in checking his facts. He just pulled his assertion about Asian car manufacturers not being in free trade agreements out of thin air. A simple google search would have thrown ASEAN up at him. Now if he's that ignorant about simple global geography, and that lazy that he can't be bothered to check his facts -why on earth should anyone give credit to anything else he says at all? It's like JRM and his 6 week JiT supply line from Japan. It's unadulterated nonsense.In fact, it's so absurd that the the only plausible explanation is that JRM doesn't care that people know he's lying. What sort of people are these?

hambone Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 I am obviously not in the same league as oowee and retsdon when it comes to world and trade affairs but to my simplistic take on things if you cannot get something from Belgium that comes in 50 lorries in a few days then you order the required 6 weeks in advance and have a shipload delivered on time (and probably cheaper). seemples Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retsdon Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 Yes, you could have shiploads of parts sitting around outside the factory gate, but the point of JIT is that the manufacturing sites do not store parts. This radically reduces costs at the manufacturing plants. The parts are held in a distribution centre, and then distributed to plants in line with their production schedules. So the Toyota distribution center in Belgium ships Europe wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
