I have asked my Volvo dealer to work out a price to change my two year old XC90 for a new one, just this morning. However, I will delay my decision until I know for certain whether we crash out of the EU or not, because if we do, my business will become unviable. It is as simple as that. I can't afford and my bank will probably not countenance up to three year's of losses, wiping out 40 years of work and wealth creation. It will also impact the people I employ at fairly high wages, because they will be made redundant. There is no recovery from this kind of potential squeeze for a great many businesses, which will shut their doors permanently.

Here are ten or more steps to importing that were not previously needed. There are another ten for exporting.

Unfortunately if this comes about there will be no new car here and the Volvo will go back in a year's time with no replacement. My workers may well lose their houses, because there are very well paying jobs around here and there will be fewer still if all this goes ahead.
