    OK, so support 1.5% of the UK's workforce by everyone in the UK paying higher prices for our food. So 98.5% of us will be financially worse off thanks to Brexit, exactly what many of us predicted. Way to go Brexiteers, we couldn't have done it without you, anything is worth it to get rid of all those pesky foreigners, right? ;)
    and the rest ..well worth getting out the corrupt EU ..you go home and count your pennys..or shop at cheaper places...dont see liddle or aldi jumping on the need to raise prices.

    Anyway, if we stayed in the EU, the interest rate would off went up as the pound was too high.
    BTW
    how come your not windging to the business's when the pound went up,food prices never went down????

    It wasn't about returning sovereignty to politicians (in the UK parliament) - it was about returning sovereignty to the British people.

    Yes. "higher spending on food."

    Thanks Brexitards.

    Money spent on domestically produced goods benefits everyone because it stimulates the economy - the multiplier effect.
    • The multiplier effect comes about because injections of new demand for goods and services into the circular flow of income stimulate further rounds of spending – in other words “one person’s spending is another’s income”
    • This can lead to a bigger eventual final effect on output and employment
    Buying imports reduces this effect.
    Another factor affecting the size of the multiplier effect is the propensity to purchase imports. If, out of extra income, people spend their money on imports, this demand is not passed on in the form of fresh spending on domestically produced output. It leaks away from the circular flow of income and spending, reducing the size of the multiplier.
    In short – the multiplier effect will be larger when the propensity to spend extra income on domestic goods and services is high.

    So if more people buy domestically produced then - yes - THANKS Brexiters.

    Perhaps you would explain how it is possible to prove something that has not yet occurred?
    This clearly demonstrates the illogical response of pro-remain advocates - prophesying based upon hearsay, which also amply demonstrates just who the "idiots" as you choose to term them really are.
    *Hint*
    By & large it is not the pro-Brexit majority.

    BTW it is another 27 countries, not 26 AND I suggest you read more about discontent within the EU (if you do not have friends/family there as I do) before making such rash statements as " who don't see things the same way as you and your ilk".
    Likewise how can you prove that brexit will be a success. We all have our views and I think it will be a disaster. I know about the discontent within Europe..... the right wing movements against migrants etc and the extremist tendencies, challenging order. The point is that's the very reason why reasonable people should stand firm against bigotry and extremism and work together for an answer to these huge global issues.Opting out as we have done is short termism based on self interest. Not suprisingly the supporters of Brexit are not reasonable, or good people, they are right wing scum like Donald J Trump, Nigel Farage, Boris turncoat Johnston etc. I'd rather be backing someone like Merkel any day!

    From the Indy today:

    US Treasury's Lew urges UK and EU to ensure smooth Brexit
    US Treasury Secretary Jack Lew said Britain and the European Union need to ensure their economies remain “highly integrated” when Britain leaves the bloc, after he met financial industry representatives in London on Monday.


    “The secretary reiterated that a transparent, smooth and cooperative process that results in a highly integrated economic relationship is in the best interests of Europe, the United States, and the global economy,”

    Taken from:-
    http://ukpollingreport.co.uk/ on 24/10/16 re. the cross section of how the public split re. their voting pattern:-

    'The relevance for Brexit polling is that there was a strong correlation between educational qualification and how people voted. Even within age cohorts, graduates were more likely to vote to Remain, people with few or no educational qualifications were more likely to vote to Leave. People with a low level of interest in politics were also more likely to vote to Leave.'

    Demonstrating most admirably your bigotry yet again, by resorting to describing the majority of UK voters with such derogatory (and unfounded, I must add) terminology.

    Feel free to emigrate to Germany (if they will have you - my friends and family there would be horified at the prospect TBH).
    Auf Wiedersehen.

    You are joking, yes?!?! It's the Brexiteers who are jumping on every little thing (such as the Nissan announcement) as proof that Brexit was the right choice even though it will be at least two years before Brexit occurs... you couldn't make it up!
