I think Scotland should be kicked out of the UK asap. Wales too. Northern Ireland as well. All are economic parasites on England.
London post-brexit as a financial center

Do you have any proof that they are a net economic drain on the economy? All those thousands of unemployed are certainly going to be a real tax benefit.
You don't seem to understand that Honda UK doesn't mainly make cars for the UK. Most of the output is headed to EU countries. Or did you think the 160,000 Civics they make all are for the UK?
You literally made up the fact about the "Romanian guy who cleans the toilets". Swindon having very few immigrants, ironically.
But hey, when you can lie to make a point, why not, right?
But you're right that Brexit isn't the main reason, it's Japan/EU trade deal. As a result the EU loses nothing (Honda prices will be similar due to the trade deal). Brits will have more expensive vehicles due to import taxes.
Barclays Brexit
Barclays, which is back in the black, has taken a special impairment charge of nearly $200 million to deal with Brexit—but it's not going anywhere. "There is a lot of uncertainty out there," said CEO Jes Staley. "What is important for Barclays is we are a British bank and we are staying committed to the U.K." CNBC

Irish Opportunity
Ireland is these days the EU's fastest-growing economy, and has become an attractive destination for jobs that are leaving Britain thanks to Brexit. And, as Richard Mogran writes for Fortune: "The ascent of Ireland as a global player and the subtle shift in power between it and the U.K. isn't going over well with some in Britain—namely, the Brexit supporters who remain in Parliament."

LOL, UK GDP is about ten times Ireland's.
Honda does not sell that many cars here compared to other manufacturers. Its biggest market is the US.
After Brexit, we can choose whether or not to impose tariffs. The best policy, imo, would be the unilateral free trade i.e. no tariffs and no restrictions on our side. The EU of course will not like this. The UK is the largest export market for the EU-27. They would have to compete in this market with every other country in the world. Quite simply they could be priced out for much of their products.
