Come on any imposition of EU tariffs on UK manufactured goods would result in plant closures is a complete fallacy, It is accepted that there will be some job losses in the sectors affected, but these would be limited! It would not make any economic sense for large scale manufacturers (assuming that they enjoy some form of optimal efficiency) as the cost of relocation into the EU would make such a move prohibitive, as would the loss of experienced and skilled workers, who could not reasonably be expected to relocate overseas, especially when their skills would be placed in demand by other manufacturers within the UK. Delays brought about by the establishment of a new plant within the EU, hiring and training of new staff, plus the negotiations of new contracts with suppliers would take many months, if not years, and result in a vast loss of market share and brand recognition.
Who needs german polluting, conning cars. If the EU impose tarrifs on our cars, fine, we can impose them on EU cars. We are NET importers of cars, German, French, Italian. This will simply increase the purchase of home-made Fords, Nissan, Toyota, Honda, Jag, LR/RR etc. No problem, UK 1, EU 0! See how many job losses occur at VW/Merc/Audi/Seat/Renault/Citreon/Fiat afterwards. My guess would be lots. We'd also get out fish back so the Spanish trawlers can sod off and it's cod for dinner boys!
