Italy can might be a problem, but that has nothing to do with BREXIT
Greece seems sorted out, Spain I do not know about
And there is the racist part.
TWHAT industry anyway, do you want to live on lambs forever (I heard that is the major export part for Northern Ireland)?ext

You are correct about components but only for some industry, not others. And that is not because we can't supply our own components, more that we are bound to use our European brethren for component parts. When we leave the EU, we are no longer bound by this.
In point of fact, as China's new Western best mate, we will get component parts far cheaper, making those industries more competitive. Obviously, short term, it may cause a few issues - but not long term. As such, longer term, it affects our European allies more than us.

That's putting it mildly. Point is they might leave too.

Greece is sorted? Is it? Have you nicked my rose tinted glasses? Spain, you'd better mug up on that one. Not looking good.
And there is the racist part.
You are playing the race card? Blimey. Because anyone who has a concern about open borders is a racist, right?

You appear to have misheard, old chap. I heard it was machinery and transport equipment. You not going to sell us your cars, white goods and whatnot, then?
No, you implied that there is a problem. I just pointed out the racist part.
Corbyn has been anti EU all of his political life. So much for being a man of principle.

I'm no Tory supporter but I hope the maths aren't skewed , with just over two months untill we're due to exit we don't have the luxury of time for Labour's self indulgence.
It is possible that Mrs May was trying to run the clock down so we could leave with no deal which is why the Speaker threw a spanner in the works last week , no gunpowder but I suspect treason and plot at Westminster.
