Big Tech on the hook for billions in back taxes after US Supreme Court rejects Altera stock options case hearing

You have already been given several reasons by other commenters, you just ignore them or dismiss them without actually refuting them

No, I haven't. I've been given this excuse by other remainers but no actual reasons. Come on, you're the one making a scene about it, so state your reasons for wanting to be in the rEU. The remain campaigns economic predictions ALL turned out exactly opposite to what they had predicted, so you can't make a case on those.

From the exodus of manufacturing

There's been no exodus of manufacturing - the work has been moved here! See Nissan closing factories all over Europe but not here.

to half our exports suddenly being less competitive thanks to tariffs imposed by our biggest export market

Only about 7% of our exports go to the rEU. What's the other 43% you think will gain tariffs? You're forgetting the balance of trade deficit with the rEU that means any tariffs they apply we can afford to directly refund to our exporters and still make a profit due to the tariffs we'll be charging them.

Our fishing industry, so beloved of people whining about sovereignty, currently sell most of their catch into the EU...

Their fishing industry sells most of their catch to us. Its a trivial deal to sort out once we have the main trade deal done. You seem to misunderstand that leaving the rEU means we won't be trading with them. We will, the trade deal just determines the level of tariffs.

So when the head man himself says that Nissan Sunderland is "unsustainable" in the event of No deal. Well... what? Do think he never said that? Thats its somehow lefty propaganda? Do you think hes lying? Just trying to get a handout? Do you think hes an EU plant? or do you just not care?

In the City we call that talking our book. You can see the brimming confidence he has because he's shuttered his rEU plants and brought the work to Sunderland. Its not what they say, its what they do. Do you just not understand reality, or are you trying to look through it because it doesn't fit your racist little europhile views? Are you actually so dim that you listen to what he is saying, see that it doesn't fit at all with what he is doing, and then just dismiss that as what exactly?

All of the evidence to date backs up the Leave campaign and destroys all economic arguments advanced by remain. That is why I'm still waiting to hear why you want to be in so badly. What specifically is it you think you gain from being in? The answer is nothing, you're just making much sound and fury signifying nothing because you don't want to accept defeat. The future is laughing at you - you're the modern flat earthers, and it is you that is immune to evidence.
