It works both ways, Isolated examples are worse than useless. You need to look at overall trade figures over a decent length of time The example you've just given is of a reduction in cross border trade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt n Vinegar Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 29 minutes ago, The Skelpit Lug said: Daniel Lambert, who supplies M&S, Waitrose and 300 independent retailers, to set up in France after £150,000 hole in revenue. A British wine wholesaler who last year criticised Brexit as the biggest threat to his business in 30 years has decided to leave the UK after post-Brexit paperwork made a £150,000 hole in revenue. Just read the article in the Guardian. What a sh!tshow. Someone should get Rees-Mogg on to say why it's such a success story. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but I know that the UK producers have increased production to compensate for people abandoning European suppliers. Surely a good thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A major wholesaler supplying over 300 independent retailers is an example - not an isolated example - of individuals, companies, and the public suffering from the total disaster that is Brexit. Jeez, man, add up all these "isolated examples". A monumental disaster from start to fini...oh wait, it isn't even finished. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, having journalists doing actual research certainly beats media outlets that just regurgitate Press Releases from, for example, No 10 Press Office.

Surely a good thing. Not if UK producers are relatively less efficient and could be using the same capital and people to produce something else more efficiently and sell that to Belgium. Everyone wins. Fairly basic stuff here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherrif John Bunnell Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 At least that £350m extra per week the NHS is getting helps to offset all the shit things happening as a result of Brexit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Khaki Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 I'm sure we've signed an independent trade deal with Tonga, and we're now free to exploit the lucrative jam export market in Eswatini, so there is that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highlandmagar Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 A Sky poll on who performed best by the Tory blue rinse brigade. 50% backed Truss as the better performer. Confirms what a bigoted, thick, dangerous mob they are that are electing a new PM. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TapothehullDee Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 The rest of the planet, 7 billion or so, is far more important than the half a billion in the EU. No one actually likes the EU, its just different levels of disliking it and actually hating it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing/finding it harder to recruit skilled staff to the fact that almost all medical equipment and supplies are manufactured in France, Germany and Italy and will become much more expensive and the future is far from rosy.
