    In order to maintain your profits then you need to put your pries up so the rest of the EU countries end up paying more for their sledges.
    I see now why you're a low-level permie.
    Hard Brexit now!

      I wish I could say I was shocked, but oPM's cretinism is standard CUK Brexiteer fare.

        However if the trade deals we get from the EU mean that it is better to switch to suppliers outside the EU then that does not benefit the EU at all.

        It's like anything - take tourism in the EU - if they make it difficult for UK people to go on holiday it will negatively impact economies - not saying that tourism from the UK is a large part of EU countries income - it is still a part of it and any slip in income just makes it more difficult for the people of those countries - because there is nothing to fill the gap - it is not like the UK people are stopping other people holidaying in EU countries.

        Once again I have to say... you don't have a clue!!!

        Even with an united front EU would and always will be in a far stronger position than the UK (how hard can be to get it!?!)

        About EU suffering with a no deal, yes a bit, but nothing even close to what you might think/imagine/dream.

        British will still buy Champagne, prosecco, French cheese, Spanish wine etc etc… even if prices go up 10/20/30%. You cant get any of this from US can you!?

        Holidays the same! Even if going on holidays to Europe will go up 10/20/30% will still be the cheapest destination for Brits, why anything relevant would change here!?

          This doesn't concern the average brexiter. They like their cheddar and holidays in blackpool. They don't know any better.

              Mind you, you'd have to spend more money on gated communities and protection to keep out the underclass, like bits of the US or South Africa.

                Holy f**k. I used to think your stupidity was an act, but clearly I was wrong.

                      On the plus side, we've got a strong replacement for Yorkie.
