Precious metals. Wonder if that is why China is spending so much time bulldozing Africa lately
Yes, Legna
There is a reason JLR are opening an EV plant in the UK
Also hybrid systems for motor sport are overwhelmingly developed in the UK
Which means the knowledge base is here
So yeah
Knowledge Base is one thing, manufacturing is entirely another
Yes, which is why automation is making up that gap
It's cheaper than china
Literally
Bypassing the minimum wage issue
It is allowing manufacturing to move closer to the knowledge base
Workers costing more
Which is an advantage
In the long run I would say so
Not for the workers it ain't
What are people expected to live on?
Yeah
Here it is
Since manufacturing is coming here that wasn't here in the first place
It's bad for china
Net loss for world
Net gain for us
Population power is deminishing
So yeah would be good in the long run, short term though it affects workers
I don't share your optimism - we are in managed descent and I don't see it arresting anytime soon
Seems like a double edge sword tbh. Would come at a heavy price to some
It's where my support for global free-markets ends. The government's first duty is to it's people, not global corporations
``At least 50 Conservative MPs would revolt against a general election manifesto that pledged to pursue a no-deal Brexit, according to two members of the government.
Scores of Tory MPs oppose the idea and some are considering running on a softer individual Brexit platform or even standing aside as a Conservative candidate.
One minister predicted that “at least 50 colleagues could not back no-deal, including several in the cabinet”. Another said: “So much depends on the language but for me there has to be at least a nod to getting a deal.”
``
Well I mean if that was the manifesto
You'd expect them to deselect rebels first
and if it isn't their manifesto they can expect to get chewed up by farage
Well depends
If the manifesto is no deal
Or there is a nod to a deal with the intention of no deal
What the fuck is wrong with them?
They know a deal cannot be sought at this point
However it matters not
``“To marginalise the Brexit party, we will have to fight the election on the basis of ‘no more delays, get Brexit done immediately’,” the official said. “We will focus on winning the election on a manifesto of immediately revoking the entire EU legal order without further talks, and then we will leave.”

There can be no GE before exit day
