    are brits really worried that prices of food imports from the e.u. will rise significantly because of some action from the e.u.?

    hint: the import tariffs on e.u. goods will only rise due to uk policy.

    posted this 3 months ago and still think it's true.

    the e.u. might hold a grudge for a while, but i'm guessing, the uk will be trading freely and successfully with the eu in the not too distant future.

    the short term pain (if any) is worth it, IMO.

    ^ The drop in the pound following the referendum has already made imported goods more expensive, so no need for tariff changes to cause a rise, which is reflected in the increase in inflation.

    The problem with WTO tariffs vs FTAs is that the WTO tariff rules must apply to all Countries and not just a select few (except for trade with developing countries). That opens the market for all kinds of shite being dumped on the UK.

    The main problem though is the UK shopkeeper mentality, which will whack up prices for any excuse and Brexit is going to be number 1 for quite a while. It'll be like 15 Feb 1971 all over again!

    yep, but those on this thread worried about exports should be cheering it (the drop in the pound).

    how the fuck is that even relevant or an issue ?

    do you think England after Brexit will have perfectly audited accounts ???? of course not,

    you fookers are so stupid, you jump on any silly tangent to distract the facts that you are going to be fucked over by your incompetent politicians

    I know English people like to fuck each other in the ass, and it's a national sport, but here you are really breaking grounds

    keep up the good work

    I suspect Britain will at least "present" accounts for audit, thereby "proving" DrBoob's point, whatever that was.

    But we do agree and I've never said different, that Brit politicians are incompetent. Not as corrupt and ideologically dysfunctional as your lot, but certainly incompetent.

    anyway, british business organizations are now getting hysterical over Brexit and ask an immediate plan or else all investment to hire more people will stop in the first quarter of 2018, and that is going to be painful

    incidentally, MFID II to go live on early 2018 is forcing British banks to hire a lot of Europeans for their expertise because of a worker shortage in England and a lack of skills for implementing that new ESMA signature banking regulation.

    That's the whole funny thing, the UK is still implementing complex EU regulations, like MFID II, despite Brexit, and it will be all for nothing, once they leave the EU and they loose their passporting rights, including banking regulations with the US, since ESMA and US regulators have been negotiating for years to make certain regulations compatible for cross-border transactions.

    It's a fucking nuclear disaster for UK banks, almost at par with 2008 in my opinion

    According to EU's own 'experts' if Brexit cannot be reversed then both parties (Britland and bloc) would be better off if it is delayed a couple of years.

    I don't trust them, rather pull the loose tooth than have them play with it.

    Germans demand Brexit is delayed til 2020: Five 'wise men' economists tell Merkel to DELAY

    BRUSSELS should delay Brexit talks until after the March 2019 deadline to save Europe’s economy from catastrophe, advisers to Angela Merkel have demanded.

    Are you sure it's not France that is the liability due to how much they milk from the CAP and refuse to even discuss reforming it due to their farmers making out like bandits?

    There's no doubt that any failure to reach an agreement pre March 2019 has significant consequences to both the UK and the EU. As part of their planning (because essentially the UK is the only entity that can move unilaterally i.e. without the vote/accord of the EU Parliament), the UK has already built in a 'no deal' scenario (witness their recruitment of substantial numbers of customs/border personnel in recent months).

    The grandstanding of the EU has at some stage got to get down to the interests of individual members. Ireland (or Eire if you prefer), is the country that will most be affected by a 'hard' Brexit. What pressure can they bring to bare on the remaining 26 states?

    Instead of knee jerk reaction to the EU's Oliver Twist protestations ("Please sir, I want more"), the UK's better taking a more offensive stance, with both the immigration and trade issue. Time the UK got on the front foot methinks.

    That's not news, that's the Daily Express and, as always with the Express, what they say is not entirely true. As you're an Express reader I think it's safe to assume that you were too lazy to go check for yourself what it says. This is what it says.

    Given the immense ramifications of the United Kingdom's exit from the EU, the GCEE continues to call for preventingthis scenario. If this is not possible, the objective of the negotiations should be to conclude a follow-up agreement that
    minimises the damage for both sides. All four freedoms must be respected in any such agreement, which should not allow for any sort of “cherry picking”. It is,
    however, likely that more time will be needed to negotiate this kind of agreement
    than the two-year period specified in Article 50 TEU. As a result, the GCEE is in favour of granting a one-time extension of this period.

    Irrespective of what any Brexit moron says, the fact remains that economically a withdrawal from the EU zone is deleterious to the interests of the UK and shall remain so for the next twenty years.
    The currency is to be permanently devalued and shall probably, on a hard brexit, anchor itself at parity with the US dollar but any hope that this debasement will somehow re-energise the long defunct industrial export might of Britain is clearly quite fanciful since in the past year export increases have scarcely materialised but the concomitant Brexit inflation spiral introduced by the Brexit devaluation has dented domestic expenditure - in truth any nominal UK growth in the past year has been precipitated by that domestic spending underpinned by greater personal debt but that has been slowing markedly over the past three months as folk realise they are nearing insolvency.
    But the significant factor the Brexit morons continue to overlook is the not inconsiderable trend the world including the EU is now experiencing real growth and demand is rising yet Britain is continuing to fall behind as projections for growth are revised downwards - Brexit has crippled Britain's recovery from the crash and all the gains of "austerity" in 2015 have been thrown away.
    The stupidity of the british is really quite spectacular but in terms of government this current regime has surely to be the worst in calibre since Alec Douglas-Home's hapless tenure.
    This surely has to be the most entertaining suicide note ever written by a people too fucking stupid to realise just how dumb they are.
