Over time, if we left the EU, it seems likely that we would mostly eliminate manufacturing, leaving mainly industries such as design, marketing and hi-tech. But this shouldn’t scare us.
Britain is good at putting on a suit and selling to other nations.
Around half of young adults now go to university, ending up in professions such as finance or law, while the making of things such as car parts or carpentry has hugely shrunk — but there will always be jobs for people
without sophisticated skills.

Originally posted by Eirikur View PostThere are hardly any pork farmers in Holland, in The Netherlands however there are many and they are doing extremely well, with the Uk only being the 5th or 6th export market, brexit will hardly have an impact on them
Look again at the export figures, it's still a fair chunk to lose.Old Greg - In search of acceptance since Mar 2007. Hoping each leap will be his last.Comment

Hard brexit will probably reduce the export figures to the UK a bit, but Britain will still need bacon for their breakfasts (and they need their gammon) so it won't stop completely and in the end it's the consumer who will pay for the extra % import duties, so brexit is again a shot in your own footComment
