It must be down to Brexit

So what are you complaining about?. 

Your country gets to set standards that are recognised around the globe and my country gets to save £10 Billion.

Everyone is happy..

By the way, Doc, do you think you could cut back on the gifs? You're going about 'cleaning up' some threads and then filling other threads with the above rubbish.

I'm not trolling threads. At least, I'm not doing anything many others aren't doing.

It's odd that you've become so concerned about 'cleaning up' threads given that Tinculin held a poll and we all voted for less moderation. You're the one who is always going on about democracy. It's Tinculin's board and you're a moderator, so we're going to do what you want, but maybe you should think about that.

I'm well aware of the new guidelines.

But a poll was held on that very issue and an overwhelming majority voted against the levels of moderation you are employing. 

It's Tinculin's site and we will do what he wants. That's fair. He set up this forum. But there is a reasonable expectation that you will keep that poll in mind when you apply the new guidelines.

It would be helpful if you would provide a good example yourself. Cutting out all the gifs might be a good start (take a quick look at the mess your gifs have made of this page - it could reasonably be argued that that needs 'cleaning up' too).  This is merely a suggestion.

Thanks for your service.

uropean automakers have said they could lose €4.3bn (£3.69bn) and cut production of nearly 500,000 vehicles, if the EU does not delay putting in place tariffs between the EU and UK.

According to the Financial Times, the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (Acea), has said that China would benefit if the EU does not agree to delay changes from 2024 to 2027.

EVs delivered between the UK and EU will face 10 per cent tariffs from next January under post-Brexit ‘rules of origin’ laws, which place tariffs on vehicles if less than 45 per cent of the value of the components are sourced within the areas.

Sigrid de Vries, director-general of Acea told the Financial Times: “Money is being spent to support electrification and the building of a European supply chain is accelerating. But it needs time. We have all been too optimistic.”

“We are not asking to change the Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA)… we just need more time,” she said, later stating that China would ultimately be the biggest winner if a delay to the TCA was not imposed.

Boris is not imposing the tariff - the EU are. 

I suspect Boris would have been quite happy with no tariff.
