Unilever warns shoppers of rising prices after Brexit vote

“Before Brexit I was saying that if you have a brand like Ben & Jerry’s the prices goes up. Now we are sitting here, the currency has gone down 15%. Are we going to sell this at a loss in the UK? Most likely not. So someone has to pay for this [Brexit]. It is quite something.”

I suppose we can always switch to Tesco Every Day Value Soft Scoop Vanilla. :cheesy:

Yup, I was perfectly happy with a democratically elected European Parliament, a European Council consisting of democratically elected head of states and a European Commission filled with representatives dispatched by democratically elected governments.
Cheap ice cream was a bonus.:)

Who have no power to do anything other than talk. You couldn't make that up.

a European Commission filled with representatives dispatched by democratically elected governments.

Who are accountable to NOBODY - not even those who dispatch them.

Yes you prefer THAT AND cheap Ice Cream.

Quite. But they voted for ideal world that does not exist but which they were told they could have, the idea that this included a recession was not explained to them. But that is , as you say, what they'll get.

Cue Riona to tell us that the economy is booming.........

your views on decent fellow human beings, who just don't happen to agree with you, is quite disgusting: sadly not unexpected.

I found this really informative, impartial video just going through all the potential scenarios and their implications.

It is well worth the watch. Simply put, the most likely scenario is the one that satisfies the least amount of people.
