    I also see that Intel are no longer considering the UK for their chip manufacturing. . . . because of Brexsht. They are looking at an EU country.
    Yet another Brexsht win! keep em coming guys. We'll be back in the 1950's pronto.

    30 May 2016, The Sun.

    EU'LL NEVER BELIEVE IT: Boris promises cheaper household gas bills if Brits back Brexit

    EXCLUSIVE: The Former Mayor of London claims leaving the EU will mean ministers can slash the price of our gas bills.

    BORIS Johnson and Michael Gove today promise to scrap VAT on household energy bills if Britain backs a Brexit. In the first cash sweetener of the EU Referendum campaign, they argue that leaving the EU will allow ministers to bin the "unfair and damaging" £2 billion a year tax on gas and electricity prices.

    Mr. Fatso clown. Where is it?

    You're acting very strangely. Are you alright?

    Is this a surprise? Were we expecting no company to pick an EU country for manufacturing site after Brexit. They're still an enormous draw for big business.

    Suppose it is nothing to do with the EU promising Intel many many Billions of Euros to build the factories in the EU and the low tax rates they enjoy in Ireland

    I'm feeling perfectly fine and I thank you for your concern.
    Oddly enough they actually stated that the UK was a possibility before Brexit.
    It isn't now.
    Why is that so hard for you to understand?

    You mean like Nissan in the UK? Perhaps you could tell us all how many Billions of ££££'s Nissan received from our government?

    Of course it was a possibility they would house here if they wanted to be in the EU at the time and still want to be in the EU. I fully understand it. Some companies will still want to be located in the EU after we left.

    Stop trying so hard. There are issues with Brexit and there will be more but you seem to be trying to make absolutely everything a massive issue. Company's will still locate in the EU and others will locate here, it was always the way. I would like the UK to win every manufacturing contract but we never did that before and we won't do it now.

    It's like the petrol thing. You were adamant it wasn't supply and demand because of some story about your sister but there's now no issue so unless we've fixed Brexit then it was definitely just panic buying creating the shortages.

    Nissan was given a grant of £80 MILLION to locate in the UK and have had a development grant of around £120 MILLION to build a new plant in Sunderland costing Nissan £550MILLION to build electric vehicles.
    You may notice that the UK gave a couple of hundred MILLION pounds whereas the EU are offering many BILLIONS in state subsidies to intel who were never coming to the UK as they are taxed in Ireland enjoying Europes lowest tax rates

    We are still one of the top countries in the world for inward investment even after Brexit

    Certainly the following contradicts your assertion that Intel were 'never coming to the UK'

    '
    The boss of Intel says the US chipmaker is no longer considering building a factory in the UK because of Brexit.

    Pat Gelsinger told the BBC that before the UK left the EU, the country "would have been a site that we would have considered".

    But he added: "Post-Brexit... we're looking at EU countries and getting support from the EU".

    Intel wants to boost its output amid a global chip shortage that has hit the supply of cars and other goods.

    The firm - which is one of the world's largest makers of semiconductors - says the crisis has shown that the US and Europe are too reliant on Asia for its chip-making needs.

    Intel is investing up to $95bn (£70bn) on opening and upgrading semiconductor plants in Europe over the next 10 years, as well as boosting its US output.'

    I guess that Intel investing £70bn the EU consider it economically sound, especially when 'the crisis has shown the US and Europe are too reliant on Asia. . .
    Makes perfect sense to me.
    So perhaps we can compare the amount Nissan invested in relation to the UK governments support and the amount that Intel are investing, some £70 BILLION!!!
    Intel are seeking some £10 Billion from the EU. I leave you to work out the proportions. You might find the Nissan subsidy to be greater.

    Yes. The UK does receive significant foreign investment. Second to France though, it's nearest comparable country. Of course it would have been more if Intel had chosen the UK. Not happening.

    In that case we need to import an awful lot of immigrants, otherwise British businesses will suffer. Sorry about that Brexshters, especially those who thought we had too many immigrants.
    We don't even need to check them at the border, let them roll in, just as we do with goods.

    I love it when two Brexshters clash!

    Mr Cummings - who has turned against Mr Johnson since being removed from Downing Street at the end of 2020 - claims the prime minister never understood what the withdrawal agreement really meant.

    He tweeted: "What I've said does NOT mean 'the PM was lying in General Election 2019', he never had a scoobydoo [a clue] what the deal he signed meant.

    "He never understood what leaving Customs Union meant until November 2020."

    Deary me. . . . and that's our Clown PM.!

    And you've clearly forgotten that Commie Corbyn was going to negotiate a 'better' deal and then encourage everyone to vote against it lol.....

    No the evidence is that the more immigration you have the more immigrants you need to service their needs its a vicious circle of continuous unlimited immigration, Boris is determined to break the circle and produce a Scandinavian type economy of high wages and high quality public services while the EU will eventually end up with a race to the bottom as parts compete against each other for jobs, but thankfully without us, That is the real fear of the EU

    So how are you going to fill those million vacancies if unemployment is so low? Fck business?
    Unfortunately the real Scandinavian economies of high wages/public services are all in the EU or EEA. I'd include a few others such as Denmark and Germany in that category. You do know that Norway has a higher level of immigration that the UK? It's one of the richest countries in the world. I guess the local don't want to do the crap jobs. A bit like the flop that was dig for Britain.
    Thought we were going to be Singapore?

    I wonder which clown employed him in the first place? Perhaps it was the same who had such difficulty in giving him his marching orders after a certain eyesight test.
    Extremely poor lack of judgement.

    Yes I fully agree, it's all Corbyn's fault that the clown didn't have a scoobydoo! Lol.
    I've already told you about Brexshters and the cognitive dissonance.

    Continually calling people silly names makes you sound juvenile and undermines your arguments.
