I suppose it comes down to whether the economy does better in a high barrier & state aid freedom future or a low barrier & restricted state aid future. The economy as it effects the country as a whole might do better under the former with a progressive government in control but not with the Tories. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zidane's child Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 The panic buying at the supermarkets currently, would probably be the same if we had left under a "no deal". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll never know because it will be a bit of both. This government will want the people to get the advantage of worldwide market prices - even if at lower standards. But for this government (or a future Labour government) some industries will have so much political clout or be considered so important that freedom to use state-aid or barriers is a necessity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTO rules re state aid and unfair competition aren't that much different. We've recently been done over Airbus and it's likely the Americans will be over Boeing in the return complaint this year. Seems a bit daft they didn't settle both at the same time but Scottish exporters are getting punitive tariffs because of it.

Granny Danger Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Interesting article on CNN suggesting that the UK might be forced to ask for an extension because of the Coronavirus. Johnson must be very unhappy at the prospect of this. Also this wee gem: The UK is already living some of those implications. Panic-buying has led to shortages of many everyday household products, most notably toilet paper. And if you think empty shelves are a problem now, consider this: according to the Confederation of Paper Industries, the UK imports about 60% of the materials used to make tissue products from the EU. And up to 55% of that demand is for toilet paper. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin_Nevis Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Might get a bidet put in. Used one on holiday and it's quite refreshing.Surely problematic after a giant thora leaves you with a bad case of toffee-arse? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
