Meh, we're already paying $6 for a small jar of Marmite.

Make your own! All you need is pond scum and salt!

You know mistermack it is really about time you learnt how the EU works. Like so many leavers you have not got a clue. Little England will become a worthless little island once Scotland and Northern Ireland has left. Leavers never had a plan and still dont have a plan and it is obvious by your comments you dont know bugger all about what is going on.
Who is deterring whom? England deterring Scotland from taking her own course when she overwhelmingly voted to stay? Only England and Wales(for completely the wrong reasons but that is the taffs for you) voted to leave.
Where is parliamentary democracy? Who forcing her will without recourse to the democratic process? Leave won by 2% you would not think it.

When we leave the EU, which we will, the betting odds are on Holland following us.

What else are you going to forecast? The end of world? Oh tomorrow at 4 o'clock? Ok.

BTW Holland could never leave as it is not a country only two provinces.

Another 5-6% Downside for British Pound v Euro, Dollar Forecast by Credit Suisse After Consulting their Brexit Dial

The problem is that as the Pound falls, prices will go up. No matter how much the Poms want to blame Unilever for the increase in the price of Marmite, they brought this on themselves.

Tough.

Not everything is about money, jeez I thought I was the conservative around here.

Hey, I'm not the one that's going to have to eat pet food in my retirement.

Enjoy the DoggyDins!

Can I recommend the ocean fish fillet delight?

Milky simply loves it, and she's rather fussy...

Dave would slurp up his own spew when he's drunk enough (which going by his posts is most of the time.. )

What's next in Brexit? Do they have to change something at some point?

[Brian Peacock]

Yes. The government have to change the UK from being a member of the EU to not being a member of the EU while still wanting to be at the heart of the EU's decision-making process, right up to the point when it's not. In the meantime it's all the EU' s fault for not letting the UK get what it wants out of the EU, either as a member and/or as a future non-member - depending on who you talk to.

The UK is being the petulant kid from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and we know what happened to her.

[Brian Peacock]

Yeah, Trump walked into her dressing room while she was changing.

The Guardian has unearthed an audio recording of a previously undisclosed private question-and-answer session the prime minister had with Goldman Sachs bankers this May on the defining issue of Britain’s relationship with Europe. In a wide-ranging discussion the PM went beyond her current gnomic utterance to voters that “Brexit means Brexit”. The then home secretary showed in private that she was more committed to staying in the European Union than the tepid support she gave to the remain campaign. Her most revealing exchange is her stark warning that corporate outlays in the UK would be at risk if the country left Europe. Yet a month earlier in her only major speech she blamed “discrimatory EU policies” for the threat to investment in a post-Brexit Britain.

It is an irony that in the cloistered preserve of Goldman Sachs, a temple of power and privilege, normally guarded politicans lift the veil of caution. We must be thankful for small mercies. In private to bankers Mrs May said if we voted to leave, European business would make rational decisions about the size of the EU trading bloc, and leave Britain. In public she blamed such decisions on Brussels for discriminating against Britain...

The UK will enter EU re-negotiations from "a position of strength", Chancellor Philip Hammond said today, after the economy grew at 0.5pc in the third quarter.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/201 ... res-to-sh/

It has only grown in terms of a devalued Pound.

Newsflash. Europeans measure the UK economy in Euros, and it has shrunk.

[Brian Peacock]

It's shrunk over the last few years but there's been modest growth in Q2/Q3 this year - therefore Brexit good!!
