"
As for food, I’m sure those self same farmers will be delighted to find that their European market evaporates as the tariffs that will be synonymous with a ‘no deal’ Brexit are enforced."
Interestingly most every farmer I know voted leave in the referendum, as the CAP and the subsidy system is not UK farmer friendly (all my upstream family are farmers). Recently the industry has been changing its views somewhat - particularly Welsh sheep farmers, so not sure where its ultimately heading

I’m not ‘desperate to park anything and everything at Brexit’s door’ at all, AR...but even you with your ‘none of this will be Brexit’s fault’ attitude can deny that our sliding - not ‘fluctuating’ - pound, which impacts on just about everything in a country which imports way more than it exports is down to Brexit.
I don’t believe that in the 2016 Referendum anyone voted to be poorer but that seems to be what is happening...unless of course you’re one of the minority like Rees-Mogg who has shifted his business interests ‘off shore’ or even like Parky who today has apparently suggested that his undoubted financial acumen allows him to ensure his pension benefits from the ongoing currency crisis. Wonder how many of our ‘Everyman’ countrymen will be in a position to do that.
Just like Derby the pound will be bouncing soon, there's just uncertainty at the moment.
Once we leave we can then start the road to recovery!!! It won't all be doom and gloom!

So that’s the farmers and the less well off who look like being screwed by a ‘no deal’ Brexit...oh, hang on...aren’t they two of the groups who voted ‘Leave’ three years ago?
Still it would be so ‘undemocratic’ to have a second Referendum wouldn’t it? Much better to watch the oh so democratically elected Dominic Cummings fiddle while the country goes to hell in a handcart.
P.S. Aye...’bouncing’ along the bottom of the currency market, MoP...have you looked at the correlation between the Referendum result and the plight of the pound?
Another reason remainers are killing this country. Mirror, look, inQuote:

Just bizarre, but of course none of it will be Brexit’s fault.Quote:

The big fail was the previous administration though, shocking.Quote:

Not wanting to gang up but I'd say yes to that question RA. If remainers weren't fighting tooth and nail against any form of brexit progression, efforts could be better channeled. You can't sabotage something at every juncture and not take responsibility for your actions (don't take that personally).
It is very much the fault of the remainers in government and people like you who they cling to for their agenda. We would have been gone by now if you drama queens had accepted the result but no and now we have a prolonged period of uncertainty which helps nobody..Quote:
