What I find funny is none of these fanatic brexiteers have the courage of their convictions. None of them will ever actually put down in writing what they think the final deal / outcome will be because they know in themselves that they don't really know (how could they) and are in fact, gambling with all our lives to massage their own egos. ;-(

Now, all that would be 'ok', if the majority actually wanted it and the leavers could prove to some degree why it would, not how it

*might*, be a good idea.

The truth will out when the average Joe in the street can't buy what food he wants or can but only at a much higher price.

Do the Brexiteers think that once suppliers outside the EU realise we are paying higher prices for stuff from the EU, they are going to keep their prices low?

How will the rest of the world supply UK with fresh fruit and vegetables?

You've not kept up with many Brexiteers wanting to stop those sponging foreign students coming here taking places away from the UK born, then?

But perhaps you get yours to pay up the entire costs of their education and living etc upfront, before being allowed in?

Since you use stupid phrases like "crash out" we can safely ignore your bollocks.

Foodstuff that arrives here today from outside the EU will continue to do so. You'll have to explain why we would need new staff, infrastructure for stuff that arrives today with no problems.

Yup. A very common view. Intelligence education and experience very over rated. Far better to rely on a gut feeling.

Of course if you said that to a Sun reading plumber - that there was no need to ever employ a qualified one - he might have a different view.

Same way it does now. Only 11% of the EU's existing requirement for bananas is grown within the EU, rest is imported. And it doesn't sit rotting at the port while Our Dave checks it with his clipboard, either.

Of course not. We can leave that to man made climate change. ;-)

There will be competition for what is available so that usually means higher prices.

No!!

Even if someone did, you would neither consider nor (therefore) accept it.

Clue though, 'throughput'.

And, of course all those civil servants needed to negotiate decent trade deals around the world after we've left. Obviously not any of the current ones who can't even negotiate a decent deal with the EU. When the EU needs us so much more than we need them.

Well fanatical ones perhaps not but what of those when asked just say I don;t believe in remaining or leaving a draw a penis instead.

Because it;s not up to us any more than us saying how much the next hybrid car will cost and what it's specs will be.

Niether of us know why the EU has aked for the figure it has domne even the EU can;t work it out and it takes dozens or more euro MEP's solicitors and lawers to decide so how can one indivudual know whether a reaminer or leaver.

exactly the remainers who have no idea what the EU plans are for teh EU army or anything else that is yet to be voted on.

That's like asking someone that is being sexually abused how life will be better without a roof over their head and free food.

At least that is true and if I can't buy brie or it's more expensive and I buy less this will have a knock-on effect in France won't it. So why not ask the French what they will do regarding cheese exports when we no longer import it because it's so expensive. How many do you think will die in the UK due to lack of french cheese ?

Id they raise prices we shop elsewhere that's how trade is meant to work didn;t you know. In the EU it's all about how much the farmers can get paid for not farming.

Well someone has to fill all those empty house flats that would be spare oif it wasn't for all the studetns from overseas most UK studetns can't afford them.

No idea how they pay, but they do. none of this grant rubbish and we may pay in a few years if we get a good job.

We've also takign advantage of the reaserch students as anything they invent while here belongs to the univ.

It's not my bollocks. It's the 'experts' in the article quoted. I was just trying to explain what sort of things they may have in mind.

Of course, you can gainsay the experts, but you are not qualified to do so, and most rational people would not give your opinion on this particular point a great deal of weight, would they?

But the article explains what the problem is. You only need to read it.

Why would he read it and undermine his own *beliefs*?

You only have to look how much damage / disruption simply changing the carrier was for KFC to get an understanding on how much even tiny changes can have huge consequences elsewhere.

If a farmer or food supplier has a worldwide market then they (and the thousands of others around them) have achieved a balance of their own needs and what they can supply. Tweek that by too much and you can see un damped oscillation and all sorts of chaos.

Look at the outcomes of those companies who have grown and refined their online presence versus those who have not ... or have failed (or were unable) to do so quickly enough?

But maybe it will work ... maybe when we see the cost of stuff we started opening up more farm land or reverting to food rather than cash crops ... and with all those out of work would then have to pick the stuff or not get their dole. Well, they will either go picking produce or picking pockets ... with even fewer Police to stop them because we all have less money to spend on such luxuries (even if only for 10-50 years).

When Spain experienced unusual wet and cold weather earlier this year, brocolli and other veg was missing from UK supermarket shelves, mainly because the Germans hoovered up what was available.

I expect that socialist troll Adams will soon be trotting up some 'statistics' about 'unexpected deaths' to prove that a spike in cancers was a direct result of this.

Oddly, apart from the snow on our roads, life just carried on as usual.

Where do eskimos get their fresh fruit and vegetables ?.

Why doesn't it affect their lifespans ?.

We used to import bananas from the Caribbean. Farmers in places like St Lucia were able to earn a decent living and pay their kids school fees. Ditto sugar from caribb and Fiji. The bananas cost a bit more, but so what.

Then the Germans used their muscle to put a stop to this because they wanted bigger, cheaper bananas from South America.

Many banana farmers in St Lucia and elsewhere now find it is more profitable to grow drugs.

How much does the UK now have to spend on the 'war against drugs' ?

All the stuff that we make in *this* country from basic commodities that we grow in this country, or already import from all over the world. Nothing will change.

If Waitrose have to reduce their myriads of olive oil and other non-essential imports, well tough s*it. Most people are not going to notice.

Exactly the same was being said back in 1971 when the cost of tinned goods was predicted to rise substantially. People coped, despite Labours 25% annual inflation during the following decade.
