Didn't companies benefit from state aid when we were EU/EEC members? I'm thinking BL, Rover, British Airways, British Steel, British Rail.

But you don't know what vinty thought he meant.
No not all companies, there had to be special circumstances. There is/was too much steel produced in the EU so a bailout for British Steel wasn't on the cards. Belgium was forced to recover 211m euros it had given to it's steel industry as it was deemed illegal by the EU.
UK Gov has done a fair bit for British steel in terms of loans, big orders from railtrack, putting together investment consortiums, but direct state aid?, not that I'm aware of.
Either way, permission from the EU was required, and now it isn't.
Mystic Meg I aint.

The Tory govt you voted for are ideologically opposed to state aid.
it was the UK as an EU member that pushed for the tight state aid rules in place.
When the EU wanted to impose anti Chinese steel dumping rules…..the UK Tory govt voted it down.
Honestly Tory Brexit voters are such numpties
We will have a utterly pointless crap deal in half the time the EU would have negotiated a worthwhile deal.
By the way Australia are far far far more interested in a deal with the EU.
thank you for admitting the Tory Brexit govt lied when it said it had a deal, it didn’t and it doesn’t.
it was just Daily Express fodder for brexers downing the Kool aid
I think you'll find the state aid rules date back to the Treaty of Rome in 1957.
F*** me you're as sharp as ever Notch.
They said a deal has been agreed in principal, which it has. Just a matter of crossing the t's and dotting the i's on the last couple of articles.
I note we've agreed a cheeky trade deal with NZ in the time you've been banging on, misleading people about the Oz one.
you can’t mislead people with facts.
Australia deal won’t happen until mid 2022 earliest.
utterly pointless, symbolic only
If you cared about trade you would point out the UKs biggest trade partner is the one just 30mins away.
It's not pointless, it's another step toward entry to the TPP.
Yes, far too sharp for.
try reading what I wrote, you might spot the adjective “tight”.
either you were making a deliberate strawman or you were just a comprehension deficit.
brexers gotta lie……it’s what you have to do when you’ve been conned
that’ll be the one the EU already has trade deals with 80% of the members.
