    Of course it's the British fault, fancy being rewarded for "bad behavior" - actually voting to leave and leaving.
    Nasty old meanies!

    Building a new port isn't something that can be easily, quickly or cheaply done. Who'd want to invest into post Brexit Britain anyway?

    So what? The UK just needs ports big enough to accommodate the UK's needs. Not a port big enough to accommodate half of Europes needs.

    Anything that pushes more work into the declining UK ports is great in my view. Even if it puts a marginal increase on the price of imported goods.

    I've worked in Rotterdamn. It's a hole.

    The treasury forecast in 2016 presumed an immediate invocation of article 50 and a committed single minded march to a hard Brexit. The government however did the opposite because they knew what would happen, after all there is a treasury document to tell them it would be a complete economic disaster. They have therefore delayed invocation and spread enough mud around to make unclear as to what will happen. This has successfully delayed armageddon.

    lets look at the economic signals 6 months after article 50.

    https://tradingeconomics.com/united-...factory-orders

    ...not looking good, the pound is 12% down as they forecast and inflation is up as they forecast, and the economy is slowing down as they forecast. Growth is already 1% lower than it would have been without Brexit.

    One thing that the forecast didn't say is that after Brexit consumers will fall into a deep depression before every meal as they are faced with a tasteless chlorine washed chicken on their plate.
