No, there is only ONE person on here creaming themselves over the chance to change how they voted, and that is YOU.
Not only do you have the charisma and intellect of a flip-flop, you also have their voting habits!

Originally posted by Mordac View PostIt you pulled your head out or you arse (although I appreciate you have a problem differentiating between the two) for a few seconds, you'd realise that we won't have to charge any food tariffs, unless we want to - which we probably won't. Some imports will be 20-30% cheaper overnight.
The price of something doesn't depend entirely on tariffs.
Your free trade heros didn't let you know that lots and lots of food imports have very low/zero tariffs already.
By contrast, the £ that buys those goods has already dropped. And most likely will drop further. Who knows what exactly will happen but please don't make inane remarks like that in the meantime."Don't part with your illusions; when they are gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to live" Mark TwainComment

We will chew our food slower, meaning the cost of food per hour actually falls after Brexit.

So right now, 30% of our food comes from the EU, therefore tariff free.
Of the food which comes from outside the EU, much of it comes in as a result of Free Trade Agreements between the EU and the places where food comes from
(This helps to explain This Tory MP was so owned it's almost worth the price of Brexit by itself The Poke )
So, in a post-Brexit world, the idea that food becomes cheaper is pure fantasy. It becomes more expensive because suddenly all that tariff free food will become subject to tariffs.
The idea that the UK decides to 0% its tariffs across the board is also fantasy, I'm not sure where Brexiters get that from, because who the hell would enter an FTA with us if we did, when the stuff they sell us is already free from import tariffs?Taking a break from contractingComment
