Originally posted by meridian View PostOther similar rates apply for other cheese types.
The effective rate (ie the tariff paid by the importer) is different for each cheese type, but is roughly between 20% and 50%.

Now what about the people that are JAMs now, and can’t afford an increase?
What do they do when prices increase due to droughts in producing countries (as opposed to Brexit), for example?

Free trade deal will not hike food prices - J D Wetherspoon
What is incorrect in the following verbatim quote from the link you posted?;
Originally posted by Tim MartinProvided the government takes the sensible decision to opt for free trade, there would be no extra taxes/tariffs on EU imports. And by deciding not to impose taxes on the EU, there would be no taxes either on non-EU imports – WTO rules require all countries are treated in the same way, in the absence of a “deal”.
The result of the free trade option would be a reduction in prices in shops and pubs, since the EU today charges these invisible taxes on wine, rice, coffee, oranges and more than 12,000 other non-EU products.Originally posted by Old GregI admit I'm just a lazy, lying cretinous hypocrite and must be going deaf♕Keep calm & carry on♕Comment

Perhaps that’s why it’s a bit more personal for me, I see the direct effect on people now, so I’m worried about what the future will hold for them.Comment

Originally posted by meridian View PostI live directly across the road from a Calvary food bank. Not only do I donate food to them every week, but I also see the numbers of people referred there already.

The main point, is that food prices fluctuate due to a number of factors.
People have to 'cope' regardless of the reason behind the price rises.
So to focus in on Brexit is strange, but not unexpected on this sub-forum.
I'm personally more worried about the homeless, ya know, the ones without a roof over their head but they also having those exact same price rise problems as the 'JAMs'... only with no income...Originally posted by Old GregI admit I'm just a lazy, lying cretinous hypocrite and must be going deaf♕Keep calm & carry on♕Comment
