Thank you Mike H for moving the panty story over to tea break! Now, back to the scintillating topic of possible brexit implications on our sport, and even some tenthers livelihoods....

You're right again, E.B, the subject you mention is far too serious and has to be discussed in a serious thread…
Please Peter, correct me if wrong, but there is a "précédent" for a country to leave the EU, Groenland. Later on, French people could express itself via referendum (Holland too). The question was about a new european constitution, answer was no. What did they do with this answer? They modified the existing texts and Bob's your uncle! Within few weeks we'll have another opportunity to say yes or no. I suspect people won't care about the real subject and will make profit with this opportunity to say what they mean about our actual gov'. Cynism is not a new thing here, when Valery Giscard d'Estaing former president was asked about the referendum, he gave a short answer: "It can be a good thing, but only if the answer is yes"… |

To go back to the original point of the thread I still believe businesses are best equipped to deal with the while thing and I'm confident that Eddie S and his fellow truckers already have plans in place. It will be business, not government that gets through this.
Yes Gerard although I think Iceland left the EEC not the EU. And you are also correct. The next treaty is for further integration. |

Thank you Baub, I will now dispose of the street map of Luton that she suggested I buy for her as a Christmas present...

Qualities that governments of any shade rarely show, and if they do political considerations will always take precedent. Like you I have faith in the British nation to stand on it's own two feet despite the watering down of the national character since the last war. |

Our gov' is fighting hard atm, but against the will of people. They dont care about our history, there are wrong I hope. Its the first time people contest during winter time and each time women went in the streets to protest it has always been the start of a big mess. Women are in the streets here. |

It's not so much a case of where you come from, as a case of accepting where you are and living by those rules/conventions. The nastiness on both sides of this (Brexit) debate is being engendered by interested parties. There's a Motor Sport Journalist, Matt Bishop, who is doing all he can to raise spiteful and in some cases possibly libelous tweets to support his anti Brexit position. Unfortunately another motorsport journo whose name I shan't mention, often re-tweets him. Not only is it boring, whenever I point out that there is an alternative view he fails to engage. The Soubry thing is particularly bad and should be jumped on, but in essence no worse than the Remain campaign, hoping that people die before another referendum. It is also noticeable that the most vociferous remain campaigners are those who are either journalists, actors/performers or politicians. Freeloaders, but with the means to publicize their position. |

The people that could struggle are the one to three trucks and owner/driver operations that make up most of motorsport movement. But the way things are going (or not going) suggests to me that 2019 will be ‘carry on regardless’..... |

Your point is generally in agreement with me in that the two/three truck racers will be largely unaffected because all the donkey-work will have been done by the bigger companies. Anyway if your other point about lack of exporting is correct then what are we worried about anyway?

i reckon a lot of exporting is done via ‘foreign’ registered trucks. I can’t believe the queues of E. European, German etc wagons you see at Dover are all going home empty.....

Quite possibly. Again though if they are foreign trucks what checks do they need?

I’m assuming Peter that it’s the goods on board that will incur checks, regardless of the country of origin of the truck? So if, for example, a Hungarian truck crosses from here to France loaded with British goods, it will be subject to same checks as a UK registered wagon would have been?

Yes that was my point really. So they will be eager to make sure they don't get stopped/delayed. Wasn't there a time when Eddie S and others registered their vehicles in Belgium in order to make sure they could cross back over to mainland Europe with less fuss?

From memory it was because of savings on VED plus other taxes, and the ability to employ drivers at lower rates than they were paying to UK drivers. |

Hmm. Some smart cookies in the Govt. PR departments to find a way to keep the lid in that one. I wonder which way they plan to work the same "encouragement" to switch to electric vehicles yet still recover the lost duty payments? |
