Blessed are the cheese makers unless they are exporting to Canada, where the Canadians now have a brexit benefit of a 200% tariff. This wasn't what we were promised, was it what gullible fools voted for?
I suppose the poor cheese makers can console themselves with a pint of wine and some unsold cheese.

It said in the small print that it didn't include all manufacturers of dairy products.

Easily dealt with, with a 400% import tariff on Canadian beef.

Easily dealt with, with a 400% import tariff on Canadian beef. Sorted. Then we can all pay more for the beef we eat. |

Exactly. Because trade wars always work out.

Of course it won't. Tariffs on Canadian beef won't make beef more expensive here, there is plenty of cattle around the world to fill the void, it will just harm Canadian beef producers and might motivate them to oppose the Canadian dairy producers who pressurised Justin Trudeau into bringing in the cheese tariff. As the Canadian truck drivers showed, Trudeau will quickly buckle when given a bitch slap. |

It’s what happens during a trade war. Same as Brexit has increased costs to consumers, not that you care after your pay rise. |

Whenever an opportunity to vote occurs, I vote for whatever is in my best interest, should such an option exist. Watching my pay stagnate for 15 years while inflation insidiously but relentlessly eroded its value was not beneficial for me so naturally I grabbed the chance to reverse the situation. I don't think even the most fervent Remoaner would say this was an illogical thing to do. Naturally there are also some disadvantages to Brexit to me but they come nowhere near outweighing the advantages and if there are as Jim claims people who regret voting for Brexit, I'm certainly not one of them and I'd vote the same way tomorrow. |

I resent the implication that whichever way someone chose to vote was 'the wrong way'.
I thought the purpose of a democracy was that we voted however we wished, but then accepted the majority decision.
Rather like being asked "have you any spare change" it's impossible to answer as I'm not yet dead.
Some may say, it'll be alright in the end ... and if it's not alright it's not the end.
We shall see.

Supporters of the eu behave in exactly the same way as supporters of the Soviet Union did before that inevitably fell apart, and exactly as fervently religious people do, they have been conditioned to view non-believers as evil and wicked and nothing you can say to them can undo the indoctrination they have received.
I can understand that for some people remaining in the eu would have been the better option, Jim nice-but-dim would never accept that for me the best option was leaving it, logic simply doesn't work on him, the mantra he has been taught to deal with non-believers is "You are a racist" and he would not dream of going against his controllers.
