Yep and the car industry works on the basis of just-in-time supply chains - parts arrive and are fitted within 4 hours. That breaks completely with a No Deal Brexit making car production here instantly far more expensive. Buffer stocks will be needed thus increased costs.
It is so obvious to anyone who has even a little knowledge of supply chains, just-in-time and food systems that thousands of EU businesses will cease trading with Brexit Britain because its too complicated/bureaucratic. Expect many products to disappear from the UK market.
Not sure if serious.

It's hard to take anything that Brexit fans say seriously.
It's only the hardcore few still fuelled by right wing newspapers and parroting the same old BS who refuse to look at the evidence before their eyes.
Brexit is like a religious cult, utterly resistant to reason or evidence.
Sounds great this brexity thing

I never understood this view. If someone wants a golf they are already paying a couple of thousand more for the privilege. They'll pay the extra tariffs or the dealer will discount more/have cheaper interest rates to offset.
People are not suddenly going to stop buying german cars. All brexit does is stuff our own car industry that relies on parts from elsewhere in the EU.

Supply chains are so complex. Parts in big industries like cars, even the smallest parts like screws, cross multiple borders several times before they end up at the final place for assembly. Willingly putting barriers in place to this movement of supply therefore seems a pretty stupid thing for a country to do.
But "just buy UK cars" is the supposed answer...

I seem to remember Boris stating a no deal outcome would be a million to one chance and a failure of statecraft. Surely he has to resign over this failure if it comes to pass? I'm sure all the gammons will hold him to account, like they said they would.
Don't you remember it in the leaflets? One of the big Brexy bonuses being that we'd all have a massively reduced choice of motor?
Give it 5 years and we'll all be pootering about in Brexit Trabants handmade in sheds by all those whose jobs fled to the EU. We can call them Borris Metros.
Global Britain = Make Everything Ourselves. Maybe he meant the Ineos Grenadier that will be made in Bridgen..... oh

What evidence would that be then......

Excellent. Just buy cars assembled in the U.K......
1.3 million cars assembled in the UK last year. 2.3 million new cars bought. You would also restrict customers to buying a Honda, Land Rover, Mini, Nissan, Corolla, or Astra. So no Ford Fiesta, which remains the most popular car in the UK.

Again, excellent news. That’s an additional 1 million cars a year to be assembled in the U.K., bringing employment and additional tax revenue to the U.K. giving a complete range of cars from the smallest Nissan up to a Rolls Royce.....where exactly is the downside to this.....
