Viewpoint from a brexit 'no deal' supporter:
'What don't you like about free trade, Mrs May?'
Saw the above in my local Wetherspoons at the weekend. Popped in for a pint to see what crimbo ales they had on, the poncy bars can stick their £4/pint (and upwards) where their 'artisan' burgers are made.
Tim Martin – ‘Wetherspoon food costs will go down if we opt for unilateral free trade’ - J D Wetherspoon
1.5 pence! To be fair their pubs are always rammed so they must get through thousands of meals a day per pub.Wetherspoon has looked carefully at WTO rules, and at the countries of origin of the products we sell. We calculate that our own cost prices will reduce by 1.5 pence per pint or meal sold, on average, if the UK opts for unilateral free trade.
So all this leaves me wondering what is really project fear, self-interest based opinion, or real likely tulip that will go down if UK dares just walk away from the EU.
Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.Comment

This is what Minford, the Brexiteer “economist”, is saying himself. His “savings” are predicated on the U.K. unilaterally setting tariffs to 0 and killing off any local industry.Originally posted by GreenMirror View PostThats what was said about Thatcher in 1980.Comment

So basically raise your prices throughout the year, then after Brexit drop them and say that the drop is due to Brexit. The customer won't remember that prices have been raised throughout the year, much like shops do with sales“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.”Comment
