Pacifico ... "Remoaners need to come clean and stop continually inventing shit.." ----------------------------------------------------- The UK was second in the world for receiving Foreign Investment after the United States The latest accurate figures put The Netherlands top of the European Inward Foreign Investment league Foreign Investment into the European Union ( last recorded figures ) was $20 Trillion Foreign Investment into the UK ( latest recorded figures ) was just over $2 Trillion Ask yourself this question : If you were a Japanese manufacturer, would you open your new European plant in (A) the United Kingdom or (B) the European Union, knowing full well that any manufacturer in the EU has instant and free access to a market of 400 Million people, and the ability to draw on labour from the entire European Economic Area.I know which I would choose The global markets makes the EUSSR look like a bloody corner sweetshop in comaparison......And we can draw labour from across the globe. |

I was under the impression that the UK wants to discourage immigration. That is certainly what the ROW thinks. The EU has habitually equalled or nearly equalled the US in annual GDP (global markets) for many years. m.statisticstimes.com/economy/united-states-vs-eu-economy.phpThe EU is one of the two biggest sweet shops in the world. |

But of course it is, I mean which company in their right mind from the USA, India or Japan would want to invest in this country, when they can instead invest in an EU country thereby having free access to a market of 400 million people. We are the No 1 destination for foreign investment in Europe - whether we are in the EU or not has made no difference to that. Remoaners need to come clean and stop continually inventing shit..  I have just this morning proven that to be false. Of course you just ignored it but Germany holds the no.1 position in the EU for fdi. |

Germany pips the UK by attracting a couple of investments in its electric vehicle and battery development. Pacifico's " definitive" graph didn't even mention the currency used to define its misleading statement, and it was in fact a graph of the NUMBER of fdi's, not their worth. And the source was a self confessed pro Brexit think tank. It has been clear for some time that Pacifico's sources are unstable. That as long as they support his opinions, he will use them. Sod the quality of the information. Which is exactly why he got tricked by the pro Brexit propaganda in the first place. |

Ask yourself this question : If you were a Japanese manufacturer, would you open your new European plant in (A) the United Kingdom or (B) the European Union, knowing full well that any manufacturer in the EU has instant and free access to a market of 400 Million people, and the ability to draw on labour from the entire European Economic Area. I know which I would choose The Withdrawal Agreement gives that free access - is this you inventing stuff again?  |

Between 2000 and 2022 a lot of the foreign direct investment into the UK and the EU came from organised crime, namely the slaphead dictatorship which invaded Ukraine.
London was dripping with pilfered roubles.

The discussion, if one could call ot that, was totally off topic you didn't understand the point I was making. It wasnt about who invented it or who was first. It was about expanding its use digitally across national borders so every transport company played by the same rules. In fact when I decided I couldn't be bothered to pursue it and morph the topic into another of your side shows, you pursued it via private message. Which I didn't answer. Why should I start to argue about who invented the Tachograph when the point I was making had nothing to do with that. I find your contributions to be combative first and superficial at best. You really need to up your game. |

Also ... this is a "Snap Shot" of FIVE YEARS AGO, and we know that the UK has lost out even further to nations within the EU and the EU in general, and this is as a direct result of leaving the Single Market. |

Our "So called Friends" in the EUSSR were always going to make sure this country suffered for daring to leave the EUSSR. They haven't missed an opportunity anywhere along the line to trip us up - travelled abroad within the EUSSR lately? - noticed the huge queue the British are all snarled up in while the EUSSR gates are empty - that isn't coincidence dearie. There are also left-wingers in our own country who are fully prepared to stab their own country in the back to try and prove that Brexit was a mistake. These people are first-order traitors and should be treated as such......."Merkel caused all this rubbish when Cameron approached her with his begging bowl and got knocked back." - - - - - Except no such thing happened. EUSSR agreed to "NO involvement in any "EUSSR Army"......NO further and deeper integration. And agreed to his proposal to end EUSSR workers claiming Child Allowance for children not living in UK. He was offered pretty much EVERYTHING he argued for. 'Boris is being Boris!': Cabinet minister Penny Mordaunt says ex-PM's warnings over Brexit deal for Northern Ireland are 'helpful' because it keeps pressure on the EUSSR

Why do you favour migrants from across the globe over migrants from EU countries? The UK could always have migrants from anywhere. At least the ones from the EU were seasonal and could go home or elsewhere when the crops changed. |

The European Union, and sometimes the larger EEA ( European Economic Area ) is frequently regarded as one economy by The World Bank, the IMF, the UN and reference sources such as the CIA World Fact Book, because it virtually is one economy, the worlds largest, oldest and most successful Single Market and Customs Union.
Most manufacturers and exporters in the CBI hope that Keir Starmer will at least harmonise UK regulations with EU regulations, which ( according to them ) will make 70% of doing business with the EU much easier, with less red tape and delays.
