One has to wonder why the supporters of the EU engage in so much "deliberate stupidity". UKIP and every other group that wants to leave the EU is also in favour of a free-trade agreement, which we would have by joining EFTA. Japanese firms would not be affected.
Because they are worried about their businesses based in Britain that are reliant on selling to Europe.
You're asking why Japan doesn't join the European Union.......:p
Btw, is it interfering when they set up thousands of jobs here ? They invest money, given them a right to an opinion surely. Ok might not be want you want but in/out has to be about more than dogma so surely it's right we consider all views ? So tell us why this isn't an issue worth worrying about and we can all move on. If I'm going to be asked to put my X in a box one day I want to know as many views as possible have been explored and considered.
Yes.They could apply to take our place if they love the EU so much.
No. They dont get a single say just because they invest here.
But having said this, the Japanese are very admirable and Im not criticisng their nation, just their policy on our being in the EU.
So they want us to remain in a club that makes us miserable and costs us money , so they can sell their products to the EU more easily. Hmmm...
Stop using 'us' when you mean 'you'. Being in the EU doesn't make me miserable, it doesn't create an emotional response at all.
Well said!
Also it's interesting of the Japanese government to say something like this. It means they are serious. I doubt it will sway the opinions of our government but I suspect it will make a few posters on here (and elsewhere) decide not to ever go to Japan on holiday! That's assuming of course they've ever left these shores ever in their lives....or ever will.
What? You want them to stop interfering in the UK with all their jobs? You want Nissan, Toyota and Honda to pull out?
They wouldnt / its bluff. You cant let other countries dictate your destiny though. The EU has a trade deficit with the UK so they need to trade with us.Thats all and we as a nation are capable of organising everything else.Countries like the USA and Japan need to be more considerate of the UK populations wishes
If we didn't want to know the answer then we shouldn't have asked the question.
Can you really not see how utterly ridiculous that statement is?
They invest here because it gives them easy access to the whole of the EU.
They are entitled to withdraw their investment should our circumstances change and they are also entitled to tell us that's what they'd do.
Er, why would they bluff in the first place?
Although I respect Japan's oppinion alot more than the land of the 'free' across the Atlantic, I didn't expect another answer from Japan other than the one most suited to their own needs. Not to mention we can set up out own trade deals with Japan and Asia if we get out.
Yes..Very clever of the government to invite other countries to respond as they knew exactly what the answer would be.:rolleyes:
Its all manipulation...so they would tell us we shouldnt pull out of the EU as we'd lose their investment and jobs. Then some UK people will listen and get scared and change their minds in the referendum. How subtle they are, but theyve been rumbled.
Expect more of this in the next few years.
A succession of well to do countries queueing up to plead with the UK population to remain in the EU..for their benefit ...the domino effect in time for the referendum.
Because they dont really want to get involved in our internal issues , but have done so because the UK government asked them the question in the first place.
It's all they have, the fake arguments. Understandable that they continue to use these smokescreens.
How ignorant and clueless to think that because people want out of a political union, they somehow reject anything outside our shores.
Quite a moronic comment for you, 2+2.
Coming from you with your background of posts on this forum, that means absolutely nothing at all to me.
Exactly time to leave the EU and join the world! The future is India, Brazil, Singapore, Malaysia and China not the bankrupt economies of the EU.
As for this quote Japan isn't saying this just its here today gone by 2017 government which is not quite the same thing! Why they are even wasting their time flogging cars to bankrupt Europeans when they have a billion Chinese next door anyway is beyond me?
