Today's Brexit economic news is....

[northernladyuk]

Not quite. There are some slight differences to your generalising statement...



You need to be more specific otherwise someone will mistake you for someone who likes to use post truth fact distribution

I was correct, but not 100% specific. The fact remains that Guadeloupe and the Channel Islands do not have the same status.

I don't think you've really thought about UK <-> EU trade much have you?

Thats because I am not thinking of EU trade, the pound has dropped against virtually every country in the world so dosen't matter where you buy things, anything we import will cost more. Being in a position of employees generally not able to give pay rises inflation at 2.8 % and mortgage increases on the horizon is pretty f***d up. A campaign where everyone can dig for oil should be implemented now to avoid disaster.

Not when we deduct EU tariffs, which we won't need to charge. Which is very good news for African farmers in particular, who are currently being shafted by EU tariffs. But then, as a renowned economics guru specializing in world trade, you already knew that...

The question I always ask myself is if the EU charges ridiculous tariffs on agricultural products why are Swiss and Norwegian supermarkets so expensive. A clue might be the huge queues of lorries at the border. There are also huge queues of Swiss cars at the border to get over to do their shopping in Germany.

The supermarkets have already stated that prices will go up after Brexit.

And when the UK farmers no longer get their EU money for cereal crops, sugar, dairy, etc, but the supermarkets source everything from Africa, then the British farmers can do something else, but then you already knew that...

I'm looking forward to seeing all those motorway-side farmland UKIP hoardings being chopped up for firewood in the dark days ahead.

From what I understand WTO agricultural tariffs are very high but everyone, apart from the UK once it leaves the EU, is in a trading block of some sort, so no-one actually charges them, except the UK of course

Any early birds listening to R4's farming program can be entertained by farmers who are already whinging about the government's lack a promise to make good the withdrawal of EU subsidies. Not only that they are also whinging about the possible unfair competition from the USA.

A bit like the Welsh and those in the South West when they realise that they won’t be getting subsidies from anyone anymore.
