I’m looking forward to the food tariff list being published later this week. 200% on Parma Ham will unleash a wave of middle class fury not seen since they stopped the free coffee at Waitrose. Standby for celebrity chefs weighing in on how to make do with powdered egg and tripe, while the ERG decamp to Leicestershire to bang on about the benefits of a Stilton and Cider based diet. I do hope the ration books have a blue cover. 

Evolution. Not necessarily a forward journey these days. 

Unless UK trade ministers have got it in for the citizens of Parma, I would be surprised if Italian sourced hams attract anything higher than the 10% WTO rate. I don't foresee much middle-class anger from Tunbridge Wells as up-market foodstuffs have what the economists call a "high elasticity of demand".

Bollocks there is a whole raft of investments current and pending in electric vehicles which will simply bypass the UK because the BIG BOYS will sew up all the globalised trade deals. Only a fool would not link Hondas decision to the recent EU/Japan deal. 

Honda finally released a statement regarding its global strategy. This is broadly in line with my earlier assertion that regional manufacturing units will survive only if there is a  domestic demand peculiar to that region. Honda clearly thinks that there is no demand for electric cars in Europe at present. The demand is in China which is why Dyson decamped to Singapore which, unlike the UK and the EU, has a free trade agreement with the Chinese. Its worth noting that Honda will still base its European HQ in the UK to service the needs of its European customers.

Thank fuck for that. I need a new spark plug for my Honda generator. I’ve been down in my bunker now for 3 days trying to overcome my trembling limbs, huddled up in a ball in the corner behind the wall of spam and pot noodles, wondering wether to venture out into the wasteland to look for a Honda outlet.

You do realise that this is 'Cunts Corner' and not an avenue for diagnostic jargon for Top Gear?  

Who gives a flying fuck, and what is the value of noting such tosh. Just saying, like (subject to approval)

Because it exposes the fallacy that Honda's decision was based solely on Brexit. There were other world-wide considerations at play which were set in motion four years ago.

I'd like to see you splattered all over the windscreen of a Honda Jazz/jizz driven by an old biddy with cataracts doing 80+mph you tedious fucking prick.

Indeed. I can confirm that the five remaining employees are to be based in my downstairs cloakroom, fielding as many telephone calls telling people one of these; 

a) the waiting listing for a hybrid CRV is 36 months

b) thanks to the booming Brexit economy an entry level Jazz now costs £50k 

c) all things considered they should fuck off and buy a Kia

as they can handle.

Just 10% eh? Well that’s alright then. Price worth paying to see the back of Fritz. What with the coming economic miracle as we shake off the dead hand of Brussels, then it’ll be good living all the way. What do economists call food banks, by the way? Other than “potential tax write off” or “deregulated comestible resource park”. 

Rule Britannia ad infinitum.

All of this Brexit malarkey, has become a tedious bore and I don't just mean on here. Six weeks to go and nobody seems any the wiser than before the referendum was actioned by Cameron. Whether Honda were influenced or not, I expect that others will follow suit, whilst others rejoice in whatever the result. There are no winners or losers. Just a load of confusion and prediction.

Its a mess to be sure, caused by elements of the remain campaign refusing to accept a democratic referendum result, a weakened PM trying to please everyone but alienating them instead and a piss-poor Brexit negotiating team who didn't play hard ball at the outset.

I'm playing tubular bells on a set of Honda exhaust pipes in the middle of an employment wasteland called Swineland while Banksy is painting a scene of alienated youth scoring crystal meths.

For the time being as a facesaver. It is a domino effect like in Australia. Ten years down the line and it will be all gone apart from some specialist firms.

I'm more concerned about Dinosaurs. It's no small wonder that they became extinct, when I look at they way we treat them in captivity. The ones I see today in me local museum were all bone. Not an ounce of flesh on the poor fuckers.

Who the fuck are you? Steve Nutsack? The ones I see were not dead, they were undernourished and skeletal. I could hear their groans through the speakers, and the only one moving had repetitive behavioural problems akin to that of polar bears in captivity. Some, even had their teeth missing and were in a terrible state.
