post brexit

This sets out my preferred position pretty well. We shouldn't be concerned about WTO terms.

No marmite in Tesco due to brexit!!!

Good...hate marmite!

It's swings and roundabouts, exporters are doing better, importers are doing worse. The importers are usually big business capitalists who've reaped the rewards of importing cheaply from BRIC economies, and gained personal wealth as a result. It's unfortunate that they have as much sway as they do, as they have a shot at overturning the public vote by pushing for some kind of parlimentary vote relating to terms of exit. It's no more complicated than the rich fighting tooth and nail to keep on getting richer.

I wonder how many other companies are thinking of raising prices and blaming it on Brexit? You can't blame a fox for being cunning.

...nor the electorate for living in cloud cuckoo land (aka a state of absurdly over-optimistic fantasy or unrealistically idealistic state where everything is perfect as notably espoused by Mrs Sturgeon).

Quite a lot of the exporting requires importing to happen. Small island, limited resources! And we're rather unlikely to regain that 'captive' market and supply base from the good ol' days.

She still doesn't (or refuses to acknowledge her understanding) understand this logic.
The clue is in the title BREXIT I.e. BRITAIN voted to leave the European Union.

The f*cking idiots who voted for Brexit must be wondering if life is so rosy now?

Nicola Sturgeon does understand the logic. But she wants to change the premises on which the logical argument is founded.
