Nice as that is my priority is how the UK will benefit a view no doubt shared by those Asian businessmen in the UK , where they earn their profits etc. What brands do you see ? Where are they manufactured ? Can you actually bring yourself to use the words 'INDIAN' origin British business people. What is your problem with that? Theresa May to visit India in first trade mission since taking office (I don't really spend my time in shops looking at labels just recognise products I see in UK!) PS (Wish the coffee chain here CCD would set up in UK! Infinitely better than Costa Coffee etc :lol:) |

No one seems to be standing up and demanding to know the honest answers to these questions. Instead we bleat about vague EU laws we can't name that are causing us great harm? what laws? How much WE pay into the EU.. not what we get back.
What has the EU done for us? Plenty, but anytime the positives were mentioned on here, Leavers ignored it, or called it propaganda. Even the BBC was claimed to be biased because the EU gave it an amount equal to 0.03% of the entire BBC annual budget over a 3yr period for research into future transmission systems. |

We were in H&M , and where are their clothes made , not in the UK, some from India. |

Actually, it isn't. The evidence is out there if you look for it.
The best option for Gib would be for Spain to honour the agreements. That's probably the best you can hope for. That's what you should end up with as a default post-Brexit, but even then there's no guarantee the Spanish will not make life more difficult than it needs to be.

Is it just old beef with the Spaniards and something we won't ever relinquish or is it more than that? Gibraltar was captured in 1704 by a force led by Admiral Sir George Rooke representing the Grand Alliance on behalf of the Archduke Charles, pretender to the Spanish Throne. After the battle, almost all the original inhabitants decided to leave to the surrounding areas of Campo de Gibraltar.[8] The territory was eventually ceded to the Kingdom of Great Britain by Spain in the 1713 Treaty of Utrecht as part of the settlement of the War of the Spanish Succession. In that treaty, Spain ceded to Great Britain "the full and entire propriety of the town and castle of Gibraltar, together with the port, fortifications, and forts thereunto belonging ... for ever, without any exception or impediment whatsoever." Further more there is a paragraph that states that should Britain no longer want Gibraltar Spain gets the first chance to take it over, It is that paragraph that Spain keeps banging on about 300+ years on. However Gibraltarians are happy to be British but would prefer independence which Spain objects to citing the previous paragraph and ignoring democracy and the will of the people. Also it would be amusing to look at the treaty under modern law because this is what Spain bases her arguments on. I think certain parts would raise eyebrows:- And Her Britannic Majesty, at the request of the Catholic King, does consent and agree, that no leave shall be given under any pretence whatsoever, either to Jews or Moors, to reside or have their dwellings in the said town of Gibraltar; and that no refuge or shelter shall be allowed to any Moorish ships of war in the harbour of the said town, whereby the communication between Spain and Ceuta may be obstructed, or the coasts of Spain be infested by the excursions of the Moors. |

If Gibraltar were independent you would still be in the EU.

We were in H&M , and where are their clothes made , not in the UK, some from India. It is not segregation they obviously have a particular knowledge and interest in their country of origin. Family relationships etc. So therefore interested in trade there. I presume expats/migrants on BE here claim a particular knowledge of the UK, don't they? You seem to? |

I presume expats/migrants on BE here claim a particular knowledge of the UK, don't they? You seem to? My priority is not what benefits anyone else we trade with. Business is simply about being the one who succeeds over the competition. If British businessmen of what ever origin benefit from a trade deal whoever it is with,6 thats fine by me. If all that happens is we end up importimg more ,sacrificing UK jobs then that is not a good deal for the UK. |
