[Merged]Brexit stuff

[scooterscot]

The whole idea of the EU army is for the EU Commission to strut about pretending they are a superpower.

The only superpower is the one between your ears. And even then there'd not be enough to feed a a hungry worm who has fasted since the Spring.

'Hard Brexit' is 'no Brexit' for Britain - Tusk

In his speech, Mr Tusk mocked a Brexit campaign promise that Britons could "have the EU cake and eat it too" - the idea that the UK might manage to keep trade benefits of EU membership while barring European immigrants and rejecting EU courts' authority.

"To all who believe in it, I propose a simple experiment. Buy a cake, eat it, and see if it is still there on the plate."

Making Remainers angry. Got to love it.

Fair enough the EU is only pointing out the reality of the situation.

So the last hope of the Remainers dies and the full British Brexit is on.

So today we saw the reality of the falling pound and what will happen if tariffs are used.

Profits of company with Euro as currency start to fall due to falling pound. Company tries to increase prices to accommodate. Company fails.

Repeat for all companies that manufacture and supply to uk but report in Euros. Who is losing?

Economically ignorant Remnants would do well to read this.

It's quite straight forward. Enough even for the most stupid Remnant to understand.

Interestingly the ones who wail the most about the lack of manufacturing in the UK are also the most vociferous remoaners (you know who you are)

Indeed. They moan about trade imbalance but when something starts to rectify it they moan about that too.

..would have been nice if the Leave side actually mentioned the need for some pain to achieve economic re-balancing, rather than the nonsense of having cake and eating it.

There is no political will in the Nation for the pain required to achieve this kind of re-balancing. Already the siren calls of 'Nobody told me if would be like this' are starting to be heard. I wish Ms May and her 12 seat majority lots of luck trying to navigate a mega inflation and job losses in order to 're-balance' the economy.
