retep Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Can you explain how the Uk will be better off when we're out of the EU? You can show your figures and working out if you want to... Imagine if you can, you can shop anywhere you want with no restrictions, or be forced to shop at waitrose, which would you prefer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longcol Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Imagine if you can, you can shop anywhere you want with no restrictions, or be forced to shop at waitrose, which would you prefer? I can choose from any number of supermarkets - and can't see that I'm restricted to buying EU produce. But the post does show the main problem failing of Brexiteers - they focus on cheap imports - not our exports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Noted that exports were evaded - surprise ) Apparently no one, as is apparent by the number of foreign traders. Our imports of cheap EU tack over ride our exports of quality UK exports by £billions.

Shop at Waitrose. Food is better quality and I won’t be sold chlorinated chicken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyofborg Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Apparently no one, as is apparent by the number of foreign traders. shouldn't you be trumpeting that as a good thing as were supposed to be open to the world and have been even as members of the eu? Our imports of cheap EU tack over ride our exports of quality UK exports by £billions. so how do you address that imbalance? and in particular how does removing tariffs on imports and moving to a situation where additional tariffs are placed on our exports because we are out of the EU make that better?

Calahonda Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Imagine if you can, you can shop anywhere you want with no restrictions, or be forced to shop at waitrose, which would you prefer? There is a very good farm shop close to us but it specialises in large orders for freezers. Waitrose is another M&S Food, in respect of it’s shelf goods, and as useless as Tesco and Sainsbury’s if you want a fish boned with skin off. So it’s fishmonger, butchers and fruit and veg shops for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
