JCB Happy With Brexit - HeartOfDixie - 06-24-2016 12:51 PM
"The chairman of global construction equipment giant JCB has urged the business community to "look to the future" after the vote to quit the EU.
Lord Bamford, whose father founded JCB in 1945, said in a statement:
The UK is the world's fifth largest trading nation. We therefore have little to fear from leaving the EU. European markets are important to many UK businesses, including JCB, and this will not change."
JCB employs around 5,500 UK workers at 11 factories in Staffordshire, Derbyshire and Wrexham, and operates other plants in North America, India, China and Brazil.
Lord Bamford, who took over as chairman of the family-owned firm more than 40 years ago, said of the poll result: "As a consequence of this momentous decision, we should look ahead to opportunities to trade more freely with the rest of the world, as well as building on existing trading relationships with customers and suppliers in Europe."

Still, UK businesses can look forward to taking their place in expanding markets throughout the Commonwealth, and particularly in Africa.

The real threat here is to the Eurocrats in Brussels/Strasbourg. They've gotten everyone to kowtow to them by selling the concept that leaving was suicidal. If UK makes this work, their goose is cooked.

The terrorists are winning. This is exactly what they hoped for.

I have no doubt that they will make it difficult.
But, I know the Brits will find a welcoming place in the Commonwealth, both for their products and their people.
Only the U.K. could have told the EU to get lost.
It seems obvious we got our stubbornness and sense of freedom from Dad after all.

The EU may try to make divorce as painful as possible to force a second referendum in the UK.
That is the EUrocrats work: "democracy if you vote for us and revotes if you don't"

The EU won't move one inch to help them leave. And why should they? The Ukippers just gave them a recession.
But they are going to let them go. The EU has already asked for the Article 50 paperwork and have said they want it soon.

I had a foreign exchange student from Holland a few years ago. When he went back, he got an appointment as a legislative assistant to the EU parliament. He was the typical idealistic Eurokid. He kept in touch because he had a girlfriend here and wanted me to help him get back into grad school here to be close to her. Anyway, six months after he went back, I was in Amsterdam (for a National Review cruise, BTW, wonderful experience). He invited me to come down to Brussels and he would show me around the EU parliament. I did, and found that six months of watching the sausage being made had turned him into a complete cynic/skeptic. He thought the whole thing was pretty much a farce.

Nah. At least he's doing more than his president. He's keeping some people employed.
