YES! I'd like to know where this magical supermarket is, especially as our weekly shopping bill has gone up by more than £20 since the beginning of 2020 (and there are just the two of us). Even M&S prices have gone up. Or maybe the poor dear is having problems operating his calculator
The simple answer to what the benefits of Brexit are what I’ve said all along - it’s not going to be a quick fix and it will take time. If we are free of the gravy train of the EU, I don’t care if it takes ten years to settle down. You seem to have gone all quiet about it lately because you can’t blame our current situation (which is not a lot different from most countries in the world) on Brexit. It’s as if like Notch, JohnD and others, you seem disappointed that things aren’t worse!
Tell me what you can’t get and I’ll take a picture of it in my magical Brexit supporting supermarket including the price this Friday when I go shopping. Then you can shut up. How’s that? Deal? Don’t disappear again!
The problem is that some of us have lived outside of this country and still have friends abroad, so I for example have discussed these problems of shortages, reduced package sizes (but not reduced prices), increased overall prices, etc with people in Ireland (the south), the Netherlands and Belgium - all of whom had COVID restrictions, the war in Ukraine and the global downturn to cope with. The answer comes across loud and clear - THESE ARE BREXIT ISSUES PECULIAR AND PARTICULAR TO THE UK. They also ask me how I can continue to live in a country which is so xenophobic. I sometimes wonder. It's really that simpleOf course, none of that is to do with covid, the general world turndown in trade, worldwide inflation and the war in Ukraine is it?
It will take a lot longer than that - it will globally **** UK exporters forever. That seems to be what the OECD thinks. But then, what do they know in comparison to the brains trust that makes up the front bench of this government?
I’m not saying things haven’t gone up. I’m saying they’ve not gone up because of Brexit. See the post above. Its not just the U.K. that is seeing it.
The problem is that we are seeing it more. See my other post
I bet you Brexers can't wait till they actually fully enforce the checking of goods and really shove it to the consumers, importers and exporters.
Very few people will ever benefit from Brexit. A few very rich people will become more wealthy, and that’s it. The rest of the population will suffer.
What I'd like is a simple statement of which supermarket he goes to and why it is that all of the price increases/shortages are down to factors other than Brexit.
