There has to be some UK industry which was held back by EU regulations. That industry is going to explode because the UK is now free.
Which industry is it? I feel like there's a ton of money to be made.

idk m8, but me cheeky nandos better be cheaper, so i can afford me tv license this month. Can you believe its not butter?

Fishing?

Fishing is practically dead.
Most of the EUs fish is caught in our waters and we don't catch or sell it our selves. Can expect a fishing boom in the UK and a slump in other EU economies

Just a case of when in the next two years it'll happen though.

Cars are a big export for us too, IIRC

>There has to be some UK industry which was held back by EU regulations.
all of them were

The UK's industry was severely hampered by EU regulations, their Automotives went basically tits up because the EU legislation favored German manufacturing more.

Assuming the EU tries to make an example of the UK and clamps down on trade, it's very likely that the UK is going to reboot its Automotives and trade with Australia. Our Auto Industry went offshore recently which was a huge hit to the credibility of Holden or Ford, but brands like Aston Martin are still household names here. We're also looking for new markets for our Iron and Coal exports which have been hurt severely by the recession in China, which can go hand in hand with this.

Stop reading tabloids

hey guys, what should I do with my three RIO shares? Bought at 28, last price just over 31

Actually most of their fish is caught in irish waters which was a part of UK but still.

>transport heavy, bulky goods to the other side of the world.
>Can't freely trade with close neighbours.
RIP UK

Pretty sure they run Runescape, they could try to expand that into a themepark I guess.

>I don't understand how Cargo ships work

How the fuck do you think all those German cars get to America?

Yeah, that's why China ships everything to Laos.

Shitty "games" for casuals.

>haven't looked at a world map in eight years.
>Don't realise the difference in distance.

But besides that the difference in the population of Austraila and US means far greater demand.

Cars are only big in the UK to sell onto the EU, wouldnt be surprised if these factories relocate.

Found the /pol/tard.

Mexico builds them.

>automobiles
Britain's car makers were uncompetitive well before they joined the EU. What makes you think they'll be competitive after you leave?

Better question: why would an average person get a British car over a cheap Ford shitbox or Toyota ricebox?

>iron/coal exports
top kek

they export tea

is britain going to be poor now Veeky Forums i'm scared i don't want to become a third world country

Some of you are talking if there will be no trade at all between uk and eu after a brexit... wtf

UK products export

Name some. Hell, name one.

yes

>gas turbines
Have to procure parts overseas. Fucked.
>cars
Largely uncompetitive, but impending pounds crash might make them cheaper. Maybe not fucked.
>petroleum
It's already crashing, and once Scotland votes to leave they won't even have that. Fucked.
>alcoholic beverages
I guess there's nothing left to do except drink yourself to death. Not fucked.

lol u remain fags getting desperate?

Is the UK going to put tariffs on the import of things like textiles from the EU?

staying in the EU they would have been even more fucked tho

My guess is no, they will try to get a free trade agreement for sure.

The automotive industry in the UK turned over £59.3 billion in 2012 andaccounts for around 10% of all UK exports.
In 2013 more than 1.5 million carsand more than2.5 million engineswere producedin the UK.

British owned
Morgan Motor Co
Caterham
Mclaren

Made in Britain;
The following companies build cars in Britain,
But are not UK owned -

- MINI(owned by BMW in Germany)
- Honda build several cars here
- Toyota build several cars here
- Nissan build several cars here
- Lotus (Malaysian owned)
- Aston Martin (owned by two Kuwaiti companies)

- Vauxhall Motors (part of General Motors)
- Ford - makes engines and transmissions here

>have to procure parts overseas.
So? Either we build them or import them.

>implying England doesn't own most birthday sea oil and gas wells, reserves, and platforms.
If they vote to leave the UK (which they didn't when given the chance a couple years back) they are fucked.
They have very few assets and industry, and if they vote to leave the UK but remain/rejoin the EU, they won't be able to fish in their own waters, which was a huge industry before EU fishing quotas essentially annexed most of the North sea.

>booze - implying scotland hasn't had to bring in draconian drinking laws because they are such alcoholics (I'm half Scottish btw)

Also, FINANCE - contributes 20% to UK economy, 1 in 5 employees are in finance. That's non-tangible assets and IP on top of actual securities and investments.

And they will go to Frankfurt

Don't worry, Veeky Forums - we can turn illegal immigrants into a flourishing glue industry!

Now is a fantastic time to buy a jag lads

>implying
Based on?
>also implying immigrants won't replace those jobs

Also, OP - yes! Weapons!

>fifth biggest weapons exporter in the world.

The U.K.’s arms sales make up 4% of the global market.
21% of the U.K.’s weapons exports went to the U.S., followed by India (14%) and Chile (9%)

You're welcome, burgerlanders!
Come and see our fabulous deals!

>alcoholic beverages
I guess there's nothing left to do except drink yourself to death. Not fucked.
Yeah but how much of that is Scottish whiskey?

that's some holistic bullshit reasoning

They are remaining trade partners with Eu and have a large financial service sectir. Not to mention their national debt is all in gbp, meaning it goes down as their currency does. They will be fine.

I want an Aston Martin.

They were held back by eu tarrifs, but they still will be

It's never ok to buy a premium class car.

No chance.

Yet the UK was against increasing the tax on chinese steel imports in the EU, while one of their main steel manufacturers were filing bankruptcy....

neckbeard

It's happening lads!

The fuck is a tv license?? lol

Is it?
Europes economy has been on borrowed time for fucking ages.
Sticking bandaids over an old bandaids to stop it from falling off, rather than tearing off in one go to see if its healed, you just pile on more and say "I don't know if its fine yet so keep adding to it"

There I retarded up an analogy for ya

It's a licence to watch TV.
It all goes to the BBC because they don't have advertising, it's outdated and stupid and lots of people ignore it.
It's only £100 a year or so I think.
I dunno, I have never paid it lol.

I got one for ya -

What's double taxation, and being taxed on citizenship rather than residence?

reasons or gtfo

Are you joking? British car manufacturers failed because they made shit cars and Germany made good ones.

We all live in submarines

>europe was bad for long time bad bad bad
thats still not reasoning m8 ,

where did all that fucking gold come from

they were selling the Queen's gold that year

IT WAS IMMIGRANTS
YOU LEFT BECAUSE
I M M I G R A N T S

JUST FUCKING SAY IT INSTEAD OF POSTING BULLSHIT BASED ON LITERAL NOTHING

ITS OK
WE GET IT
YOU WERE AFRAID OF STINKY SCARY IMMIGRANTS

BUT DONT FUCKING LIE ABOUT IT WITH BULLSHIT YOU HAVE NO CLUE ABOUT

Aren't they already conquered by sandniggers? I mean look at the Mayor of London.

Are you..Dare i say it. Angry?

He still wants London to be a part of the EU, maybe they'll pull off a reverse greenland.

if you invest money in the fact that saxons are just better humans then you're probably going to do well

>http
Better emigrate to eastern Poland while you still can. After Brexit finishes you will need work visa and EU may not want to accept shitpoor islandnigers.

Will Britain start building an army?

Wasn't their industry steel and automobiles prior to restrictions on factories?

Netherlands wants a referendum too

If england fixed there clearly broken immigration policy, people from all over the world are going to come there, educated people

Even places like Birmingham voted to leave. So it couldn't be all about immigrants.

>Place that is not overfilled with immigrants are not afraid that they will be over time with a broken system

are you 12 ?

>What do they export?
Money, basically. Their manufacturing pales in comparison to financial services.

You do know Birmingham is one of the more ethnically diverse places in the country?

things change

Scotland won't be able to leave. Spain will veto them so Catalonia doesn't get any ideas.

You know all of these diverse people agree that importing people who refuse to assimilate and even learn the English language is a horrible idea for everyone ?

really?? spain will?

>Be educated man
>Migrate to some dying shithole
>Rule Britannia!

British might just have shoot themselves in the head with this. Alll of it now depends how merciful the EU will be. AFAIR biggest sector of GB economy are finances service for Europe, and this sector could be easily cut of by EU regulations, because why not? It will relocate to Frankfurt so big yes for our German Overlords.
Industry is probably inefficient as much as in the rest of western Europe and have chance of dying when cut of from common market.

So it is possible that GB fucked itself for pride and lack of immigrants.

>A good example of a biz that benefits from the EU is the british car industry.

>Mike Hawes, chief executive of the SMMT says it was largely moribund in the '80s and '90s. But thanks to foreign ownership and investment attracted by a gateway into the EU single market, it has revived strongly. It accounts for 800k jobs and 12% of British exports (80% of the [industry's] outputs goes abroad).

>Briton now produces more cares than France

>Fully 77% of SMMT favours Remain

t. the Economist

Yes, and? A tiny rock on the tip of Spain is much different than Scotland which is about half or so of the UK.

I don't think you understand how many EU rules and regulations has fucked every single industry in the UK, with these gone, the SKY will be the limit. I remember i guy in London selling fish that went broke because he had to make new packaging that stated there was fish inside, all EU shit that goes on and on.

>British Humor
do i even have to explain why this is objectively wrong?

Chipping?

LOL. Not really. The rules and regulations were no different for the UK than any other country. They were not at a disadvantage. You have to realize that there is no viable industry in the UK to support everybody. Nobody buys made in britain products. There is no going back to the 50's lads. You're fucked. Just look at the market reactions.

Deutsche Bank
- 16 % =D

>I don't think you understand how many EU rules and regulations has fucked every single industry in the UK


And you're basing this on the micro-economic viewpoint from a single patron from a single industry.

lol you are fucking dumb

>we left, so that we could reduce the quality and health-standards of our products
>unless we want to trade with EU countries. Then we'll have to uphold the same standards

I'm glad somebody said it, we can stop pretending like /pol/tards have any knowledge of economics now

You now realize the Netherlands exports more than the UK. And the EU would destroy the UK in competition.

What this says to me is -
>in the 80's and 90's
Exactly, when the EU single market was attractive. It no longer is.
>80% of the industry's output goes abroad
Problem?

The majority of car manufacturer bosses have said they have invested in UK car factories for the long-term, and will continue to do so regardless of Brexit or not.

where are your sources

did you personally talk to them? What exactly is "majority" to you?

>80% of the industry's output goes abroad
>Problem?
Without access to shared market they may be no demand for it, so worthless goods that have to be dumped into north see.

>The majority of car manufacturer bosses have said they have invested in UK car factories for the long-term, and will continue to do so regardless of Brexit or not
Sure, stating otherwise could damage company value in the stock market. It can be transferred quietly in coming years.

I wonder how this faith and enthusiasm will fare against tariffs and eastern EU lower workforce costs. Unless British dream is to have wage on par with Romania or Bulgaria, then good for you.

>The majority of car manufacturer bosses have said they have invested in UK car factories for the long-term, and will continue to do so regardless of Brexit or not.
Lol yeah until the EU retaliates hard and puts massive tariffs on UK imports and the manufacturers start hemorrhaging money because the factories were built and scaled on the predicate of (virtually) duty-free exports to the EU.

You don't see the impact that protectionism can have on an industry that has 90% of its output being shipped abroad?

Welp guess more layoffs will come now. I should find a new job

>tea party meme

>British Humour (with an extra 'U')
Yes, please explain.
Are you enjoying any of the British shows remade for US audiences? Or the ones imported there?

lol no that's BS, it was just a useless socialist second layer government but it was so powerful that it could hold down an industry, i mean the uk outlawed nicotine on their own...

>LOL
>lol

please leave this place and never ever come back

>All
>Of
>Them

as if the uk couldn't trade with countries without the EU, even though they traded no problem with china and america until now...
Brussels is not about free trade, it's about socialism, regulations and taxes, the uk will be better off without it

shut up

and what about those who didn't reply with a lol?

can't come up with a coherent, sensible argument for your idiotic ideals?

Manufacturing expert here, the glue that held British manufacturing together before the great decline was Lucas Electronics. If you've ever owned a British vehicle made before the 1990s you will know about them, a typical Lucas equipped vehicle will only run about 4 hours before encountering an issue. More than 10% of the population was involved in manufacturing, supplying, and selling Lucas replacement parts, and another 5% in installing them. One thing that led to the rise of the pound was British mechanics being exported to other countries to keep Lucas equipped vehicles on the road. When British Leyland disintegrated and was bought out by foreign investors moving manufacturing outside of Britain Lucas took a huge hit as well.
