Are we exporting to non eu countries using eu agreed tariffs? What happens when we are out of the EU.


In other news, due to a lack of seasonal farmworkers, food is rotting in fields. Well done everyone.

Oh no! We are all going to starve.

 


We have now sunk to a depth at which the restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men. [Orwell]

Oh no! We are all going to die from lack of nursing.

People will die. If winter is bad, given the kicking the Tories have given the NHS over the past 7 years, expect significant numbers of avoidable deaths.

Given the failure of the government's economic strategy and flasgship benefits programme some people may well starve, or at least become seriously unwell from malnutrition, not to mention the lasting effects lack of good food will have on swathes of children up and down the country.

Don't forget that Grayling was saying we could just grow all the food we currently import to avoid tariffs post Brexit. Not sure how he thinks that will happen without more immigration. Unless he thinks the 75,000 bankers that will lose their jobs will go and plough the fields and scatter the good seed on the land.

The story is covered by james O'brien on lbc this morning.
The leader of the NFU saying we haven't got enough people to harvest crops.
That's quite a big deal. But it isn't in the papers because they can't blame Muslims or the EU for it.
It also highlights a negative consequence for what they implored their readership to vote for in the referendum.

No the disabled and poor will be marched to 'The Grayling Fields' not the bankers.

So, we can trade with the rest of the world while we are in the EU. Why are we leaving again?

You seem to be of the view that voting Leave or Remain is an article of faith, like a religion or somethign, and that it influences all decisions.

Pretty much all the experts reckon Brexit will be bad. So it's hardly a suprise that organisations that invest in serious journalism are going to report that, and regard leaving as bad, is it?

Being in the EU but out of the Euro probably has something to do with that.

Did they all predict Armageddon if we didn't join the euro?

I expect they all made bazillions trading the FTSE and bonds?
