    But when the goods need a day to get through customs, watch prices shoot up.

    You just need to visit a Swiss supermarket to see what will happen to prices. I used to regularly drive past a queue of lorries several km long waiting to get into Switzerland.

    Pre EU if was a 4 to 6 hour paper processes to export from France?EU and on arrival to the UK it was about a day and a half on arrival at Dover. Since trade has increased it will be much longer waiting times once we leave the EU.

      Customs might be a factor for high prices in Swiss supermarkets, but for the most part, it's down to large profit margins, and subsidies to Swiss farmers.
      Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

        Britain's very own stab in the back myth

        https://infacts.org/britains-stab-back/

        So just to make it clear, Brexiters, when Brexit makes the country go tits up it's not because of "Remoaners", or "Enemies if the People" or other such bulltulip.

        It's because the British economy is a low productivity, high debt economy that doesn't make enough of what the world wants to buy.

        You were warned but bone-headedly chose to ignore the warnings, because in the main, you are thick as mince
        Hard Brexit now!

          they got the URL wrong it should be www.projectfear.eu.

          InFacts is a journalistic enterprise making the fact-based case for strong relations between Britain and the EU. We also expose the false promises and inaccurate statements made about Britain and its relationship to the EU.
          no bias hey?

            Well that's the point isn't it, you chose to ignore warnings, calling them "Project Fear".
            And when they turn out to be right, what will you call it then?
            I suggest "Project reality ignored by cretins".

              its a puff piece attacking the Express & Wail by a bunch or remoaners. They even manage to get Nazi Germany in there.

              Long on Rhetoric, short on facts.

                It is a little.
                However the point it makes is valid - I have heard Brexiters make the argument that "Remoaners are talking down the economy" which is complete pigswill. The pound didn't fall immediately in June because of "Remoaners" but because the markets gauged Britain's long term prospects as being poor.
                I refer you to my sig.

                  why? it says nothing about using conjecture and assumptions to run a country into servitude.

                    Nearly every article in the Wail or Express attempts to get Nazis in to it, they're fascinated by them, probably because they're fascist rags (the Express also manages to get Diana and Maddy in as well)
                    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.
