One might wonder if there will be a 'domino effect' after we enact A50. There is no doubt the Dutch, French & Germans are concerned about the loss of trade with the UK assuming the Pound stays a bit lower than it was. The Greeks have had enough of the Germans telling them what to do and the countries most keen on the EU are those receiving the most cash FROM the EU, rather than paying INTO it.

Interesting times politically for all of us, but we do seem to be doing the right thing and the prospect of trade deals with other countries of our own choosing and on the terms which we can agree will be fantastic.

Am I alone in thinking what a good job Theresa May is doing - so much more decisive than Cameron.

I reckon the decision was made for us. She's really just recognised all that we can guarantee from Article 50, but she deserves credit for finally doing that.

 

There's an interesting potential chain of events. Trump kills Mexican car imports (already stomped on one developing with Korea, Japan...), makes a deal with the UK that could be advantageous to the Japanese and German (EU) manufacturers with plants here.

You are not alone - the biggest mistake the EU made was isolating her at the meeting before Christmas - I bet she is not one to forget things quickly.

I now have the British Gliding Association involved and they will be joining in with the Gov't consultation. My own club currently have 11 vehicles which are used only on private land to which the public have no legal right of access (i.e. an operational airfield), including golf buggies, Land-Rovers, Tractors, winches and an ATC caravan. I doubt that some of these are actually insurable on their own.

 

The more organisations getting involved the better, methinks.

 

Please, Theresa, get us out of the EU' circus' ASAP.
