6,000 jobs at risk at Cafe Rouge and Bella Italia owner

Their locations will be taken over by betting shops, banks or loan sharks.

Banks? They are closing faster than pubs. I'm 10 mins walk away from 4 empty banks, and they will remain empty probably forever, because they were built as banks, and won't work as shops.

Yes, it did, but that would apply to every food importer. So why are some coping better than others? As we have discussed widely, badly run companies are quick to blame Brexit, because it deflects quite nicely away from the real reasons.
Quite apart from the fact that their brand name sounds like an Italian drag act, their food offering wasn't very good, and the service was awful. No organisation is going to survive that in the long term, with or without Brexit.

Classic Brexiteer 'logic'.

If there is a recession and 100,000 businesses go under that otherwise wouldn't, is it nothing to do with the recession because not every business goes under.

Some businesses are more vulnerable to economic shocks, but that doesn't mean that the economic shocks have no effect just because some businesses survive them.

Also porn movie sets. Like, a man that goes to the bank to make a deposit. Or a woman that wants to speak to the manager because her loan application was denied....

Porn should be just as important as fruit picking in the uk2.0 economy.

They will turn them into cash collection points for cartels.

Unfortunately the local council don't agree. New restaurants are effectively banned (I'm not making this up) because they won't allow any change of use. All we'd get would be the big chains though, because the rents are prohibitive.

If they are in the same sector, and subject to the same 'shocks', those which go under must have 'underlying health conditions'.
