Will never compete at the cheap end, the worry is losing the better quality that has been drifting back.

Has it ever been any different Fosse i.e. competing with the 'cheap end'?

I remember back in the 50s my parents bought my sister a doll dressed in traditional Welsh clothing - tall hat too. Later, when checking the small label she was upset because it had been made in Hong Kong.

Captains of enterprise always have and always will move 'shop' to maximise profit, and sadly it seems they care not the means achieving it.

No one can really say what will happen post Brexit for the UK, but I sincerely hope it isn't as upsetting as much as it was for my sister when she read that label.

Post Brexit will be a long period with plenty of tears. The economics of transporting stuff around the world can also change.

I don't suppose the % have changed much since then

Stephen Fry's video was instructive.

Some of you might learn something if you watch it, but I'm doubtful.

[Regal Beagle]

It's a fun video but it doesn't say why we should be staying in the EU?

It points out a potential reason why leaving may benefit the wealthy elite but even that isn't certain as it would depend on policy changes of the government, and we would get to decide who governs us.

It uses a few tired old arguments that were around pre-2016 and didn't stop people voting leave and completely skips over some important issues.

And you can't wash over the sovereignty issue by saying "the majority of laws..." or "99%...." sovereignty is by definition black or white, you either have it you don't. And we know from the clear evidence of EU admissions and EU court findings that they are sovereign over the UK.

It is obvious why a lot of people want to stay n the EU. The facts have been very clearly made, the problem is they can't burst inside your bubble.

The counter argument could be that remainers can't burst their bubble to get out..... bad attempt at irony.

Not really any facts though are there? Just guesses that the economy will be worse and that is about it really.

No one is standing up and saying that the EU is the best we can possibly do, yet they are telling us that leaving it is the worst we can possibly do. So tell me why the EU is the best case scenario for the UK?

Especially as most political predicitions see the EU moving closer and closer to being a super state which the UK has been at odds with for decades. We simply do not want that but are powerless to stop it.

This is what RB will say, no facts, just another Project Fear.

Disinformation is Brexit policy , that is why it is difficult to comprehend.

Well he was a physicist and a cosmologist so you'll have explain why he is qualified to be referenced in a video like this...

Also we voted to leave in 2016, this video didn't work then and it doesn't work now. 

More remainer platitudes
