Originally posted by dsc View PostPrices going up is a fecking benefit? and you are calling other stupid? Have you ever bought clothes made entirely in the UK? Lets say made from Scottish wool and actually put together in the UK? Next thing you'll be telling others how a diet made up entirely of British potatoes is the best thing ever. I think you are confusing the UK with China who can manufacture whatever they want fairly cheaply. And sure, yes, now all manufacturing will simply kick off magically in the UK overnight for everything and you'll have your great sovereign Britain yet again.
Most low end retail clothes are made in low cost countries such as India & Bangladesh though Boohoo & so on allegedly like to pay low wages in the UK.
Strangely most high end clothes are also made in low cost countries but sometimes have finishing touches attached in a European country a bit like cars where the seats are fitted in the UK being called made in Britain.
Where do you think You NIKE, Addidas, Peter storm, Levis etc are made?
We do make some clothes in the UK I have some Gortex Jackets and wool jumpers marked made in the UK but they aren't from Primark or Burton. But their stuff normally comes from low cost countries direct.

Why just potatoes we can grow lots of vegetables in our climate. With Hydroponics you can grow most things. Other parts of the world also supply fruit & veg.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

The british aren't complaining about it, its a consequence of Brexit and its therefore news.
You mean the EU has an Ambassador but no central tax authority? Seems a bit cart before the horse.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

British shoppers today complained about being hit with punishing 'Brexit fees' on purchases from Europe, which could add more than third to the cost of a new outfit.“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

Prices going up by a third is a benefit of brexit, do you still not see that stupid remainer? It will encourage UK companies to manufacture clothes so that this country can actually look after itself instead of relying on exports for everything.I am what I drink, and I'm a bitter manComment
