Reply to: Predictions for companies going bust in the event of bad brexit and who will do well?

Well, if they are bad things in England, then the EU must be blamed for them. Isn't that the way your story goes?

Everything bad/wrong in England is the fault of the EU.
Everything good/right in England is in spite of the EU.

Rinse & repeat.

Replace "England" with "Europe" and you're starting to get it.

It has f-all to do with Brexit. It's high rents, high taxes and high rates, and it was all happening long before Brexit.

and deaf local councils

Brexit has already f***ed up retail. Take a walk down the High Street and see the closed down shops to let.

The damage has already been done, it just remains how worse will it get

Jam tea and biscuit producers will do well.

.... in general the EU sole reason for existence is the continued existence of the EU.

And that is not what we joined up for back in the day.

Yes it was ... this was EXACTLY why we joined originally. It may not fit your distorted narrative but that just shows how little you know.

[meridian]

No right....

so we want less Euro politicians because in general the EU sole reason for existence is the continued existence of the EU.

And that is not what we joined up for back in the day.

Yes it was.

But all of those are the fault of the EU, so once we have left then we can go back to our old ways.

Seriously?

[WTFH]

Internet shopping, high rent, expensive town parking and vast out of town outlet malls with free parking has been killing off the high street for years before Brexit came along.

Retail basically got ****ed by the fall in value of the £. Very little is made here.

[NotAllThere]

Didn't one of the characters in the Big Short comment that they'd be shorting the US economy?

[Unix]

Any businesses that buy/sell to EU will do badly.
Anyone shorting the pound will do well.

[Paddy]

Anyone?

Retailers will be under pressure obviously if there is a massive fall in consumer confidence but many people might actually feel more confident if there is a hard brexit as we will have to just get on with it...
