Even if that were true, it is not btw as working conditions have generally improved since we joined and because of the EU (the social chapter, etc), then it still doesn't negate the problem of some contractual obligations and bills having to have to be paid by us, as reported, on Exit. £20 billion worth. We just will have to grin and bear it. Edited by Kermit8 (14 Oct 2016 12.21pm) Eventually, we will be laughing all the way to the bank, just as we did when we chose to keep the pound instead of the euro despite "eminent economists" warning us not to do so. The EU nations can play hardball/silly buggers all they like about Brexit, but however long and difficult it is or seems to be, at the end of it Great Britain will be just that... Great once again.... and free to plough our own furrow without interference or emptying out of our own cash reserves to fund/bail-out other nation's inability to run their own economy or some EU whimsy/folly or army of MEP's salaries and expenses.

I suppose you could be right. Depends on how big the hole we dig for ourselves gets.

Hahahahahahaha we'll be what we've always been cogs in the corporate machine. We will however be rid of one form of corporate influence, and have replaced it with a different one, admittedly one which we could technically have more influence over (but the state will always represent the interests of business over those of the people).

An exit from the EU doesn't mean that migrant workers will cease to be employed. It just means the UK government has the option to not adhere to the Freedom of Movement. It doesn't mean it won't introduce a system of its own, just that it doesn't have to. Freedom of movement is on the UK statutes until its revoked. Just leaving the EU doesn't mean that all of its rulings that the UK has adopted will cease to be, and the UK was employing migrant workers and immigration to support work demands long before the EU. There are no manifestos to which government can be held in regards to the EU exit. Effectively the government is in a position of being able to effectively 'negotiate and determine an exit' irrespective of a UK mandate.

This whole Marmite thing is very confusing. Is it a bread and butter product of Tesco or part of a spread of similar products over the stores. Whatever the reasoning it tends to leave a bad taste in your mouth

Another thing for the Bremoaners to whine about. I am still looking forward to the date that we sever our ties with a corrupt and dieing union and embrace the opportunities in the wider World. We must develop links with India. Nigeria is about to displace South Africa as the largest economy in the continent and we should be there to capitalise on this. We can strengthen our ties with Canada, Australia and New Zealand. I just don't understand how people cannot see this as a massive opportunity. Maybe it is because my business is predominately from countries outside of the EU but it is exciting to think we could be truly open to trade with growing economies rather than tieing our long term economics to a declining, and small, bloc of countries. Carpe diem.

I've known people who've worked for both companies and heard stories about clashes between their negotiators. Unilevers products cost next to nothing to manufacture per unit, but the set up and marketing is colossal. Prices for some of there products are fixed (by the EU) where they are market leader so they can't profiteer too much. At the end of the day it's only marmite, and the only people who will care are the ones that moaned about not being able to buy irregular shaped fruit and veg (which they wouldn't buy anyway)
