EU & Brexit Bunker

My apologies. I thought it looked wrong, but ran out of time to check.

Your apologising on the internet for something...

...is a gerund.

The challenge it faces is that after Trump's steel tariffs other countries will need to find somewhere to sell their steel into ie dumping (given worldwide overproduction) and with big state subsidies in some countries eg China they need to safeguard their own manufacturing capacity, just like the UK has done by eg taking over steel works.

All they are doing is responding to the market disruption Trump has created.

I understand why they might be doing it, but was commenting on the relative lack of criticism compared to what the US did (see Trump thread).

USA doing much better than Europe there. And it's not an EU member - how can this be?

 

[briantrumpet]

Still fixated.

This piece ignores the fact that the same demographics affect the UK in the same way, and that they have been cheerleaders for the Brexit which means that the border controls apply to UK citizens. They so need to be offended by something. "How dare they do this to Britons!!"

Just happens that two of them have been in France. Oops.

I'm not an economist but from a sustainability perspective I would have thought lower consumption (per person) is a good thing.

This goes into the Project Fear 'things that turned out to be true but too late to do anything about them' file.

Please.

He's a man of all opinions.

At least I've not changed my view of Brexit.
