    A no deal Brexit is actually a good outcome. The result would be tariffs on imports and exports.

    The only thing is, we IT contractors will lose out due to the entry of cheaper resources from Delhi instead of from Poland.
    Who is going to pick the strawberries ?

    The Eastern European are refusing to come even though they're still allowed.

      The UK will need Dutch strawberries for the Empire 2.0 jam export boom.

            This over reliance on cheap over seas labour is the business model that will get reset over time. Either automation or adequate compensation will bring about a normalcy on labour intensive occupations. The side effect would be an increase in the prices of items but consumers will learn to tolerate it.
