The more sinister side of Brexit

Brexit voters to be 300 pounds worse off because of Brexit

You get what you vote for

Anyone noticed that the EU have just caused a surge in rice prices by effectively banning the largest producer from importing their wares due to pushing for stringent chemical regulations.

I think the UK will enjoy Tricyclazol rice with chlorinated chicken, goes well with the be Benzonated peas.

Yes but Brexit voters also know that thousands of Japanese tourists buying animated souvenirs of Prince Philip having his trousers fall down and blowing God Save the Queen out its arse will soon trickle down to lower food prices and a reduced mortgage rate, so they will be OK.

So you'd rather have chemicals in your rice?
Astonishing, I thought you were just a common or garden cretin, but you seem to actually be a complete retard.

you don't think that us having to beg for them to be reasonable shows them in a bad light?

A few months ago Brexiters were saying we had the upper hand.
Now they're moaning that the EU is being unreasonable.
It's a negotiaition FFS. DO you know what that is?
It's their job to get as much as they can from us, just as we would if the boot was on the other foot.
Fact is that you Brexiters, because you're a bit thick, shit at maths and live a dream world of Empire redux, completely over-rated Britain's strength economically and politically.
But most of all you overrated the competence of our ruling party who couldn't arrange a piss-up in a brewery.

No! Its there job to punish the UK.

The British voters, voted to punish the EU, by saying they want to have access to the EU without paying a penny, and basically then sent their Foreign Secretary who proceeded to travel all Europe "shouting" insults at the Europeans.

Now the EU is going to kick the Britain up the backside.

Strange as I remember only Yes and No as options.

If there was a 3rd option it should have been "give DC a kicking".

WBSS - I think we should pay but only when what the right amount to pay has been decided. What they want us to pay and what we are obliged to pay are likely to be very different amounts. Let the lawyers battle that one out. That is going to prolong the process though and if the EU are saying they won't discuss trade until that is sorted then it is them holding up the process, not us. The divorce bill needs to be confirmed, yes, but to stall everything else until that has been agreed seems a silly way to do it.

The EU have been very clear that they do not want us to get a good deal as it will encourage other countries to do the same. Don't listen to the chatter and sound bites around the stories, look at the overall intentions and how the "news" is tailored to push towards desired outcomes.

The EU are making themselves look petty at present with their one liners and this feeds into glee in the remain camp that the government are a bunch of confused, bumbling baboons. I still have faith in them to work out a way around these issues. Call me a misguided fool if you want but I am still happy to be working towards getting out. My only concern is that the EU will stuff this up enough for another gov to get in here and call another referendum giving a route back in to the EU.

As for the OP on this post I totally agree with what Mr Dolan said, in or out will make very little difference to the less well off here. Same with Labour and the tuition fees, the youth loved them for that but do not realise they will just end up paying more in other taxes when they are older, misguided dolts that they are. The country giveth, and the country taketh away.

So you and Mr Dolan don't believe that the vote for Brexit has made the less well worse off ? There is nothing complicated about inflation going from 0.6% to 2.9% over the period before we decided to leave to now, making things more expensive for the less well off, even Shaunboy understands that.

Or maybe you don't believe that Brexit was responsible for this ? Then you would be wrong again, inflation is caused by rising prices and as we import so much of our food , oil , clothes , TV sets etc. and all of these are more expensive because the pound is worth 20% less and hence prices of things have gone up and so has inflation.

And what made the pound worth so much less, Brexit just look at the exchange against all currencies the day after.

Another Myth debunked , Brexit has not made the less well off worse.

The nurse reference only came about as Cojak seemed to be agreeing with the people who wanted everyone to feel their pain which was the OP , and I just happen to know one back in the UK who has asked me to borrow her a few quid to help out , so while I am about it I will debunk the "I want the rich to suffer" myth as well.

As said before imports which most of us do via Tesco, Lidl , Aldi etc. have cost more, Exports which most of us don't do have made money, and tons of it for wealthy bankers, investors and quite simply the rich. Look at the FTSE 100 which are mostly exporting companies and see how much money has been put into that, its made very rich people richer , and how do I know that ? because I had my nose in that trough as well , I only made just over 70K but for the rich it was in the millions. I know people in the finance industry now that are just hoping for no deal and making the pound drop even further.

So second Myth debunked , The rich won't get richer.

As for making a deal then,like you, I hope so as well but that is all down to HM Gov stumping up a lot more than 20 Billion, after all the EU will want to make that painful , its not an exact figure just one that sounds very painful to all the other EU countries.

No! Its there job to punish the UK.

Quite possibly, yes, pour l'encourager les autres.
That's their prerogative, we're the ones who've left.
The maths says they can take the hit better than we can - the German companies have already planned for a rock hard Brexit.
It's called realpolitik, welcome to the real world, if you can abandon la-la land for a moment.
