a farmer claims that with no deal brexit, farmers will lose all their subsidies from the eu which will drive 90% out of business and thats before they get 40% tax on their exports to eu. this mean one of two things:
1. food will go up a hell of a lot for everybody
2. most of our farmers will be on the dole.



So the UK will be stuffed with food we can't export but the prices will go up...?

Much cheaper actually. Once you can dispense with the EU’s protectionist tariffs (a big cut to Brussels) and the exorbitant, French weighted, CAP levies.

Is that “beating real facts”. :?

You're arguing (like Milti) that the EU farmers will be happy to let enough food to feed 30+ million people rot in their fields...?

You don't think that EU farmers and German car makers and washing machine makers and French wine and cheese makers might be putting pressure on Brussels to offer a deal to the UK...?

Eurozone Inflation Even Lower Than Hoped, Central Bank Eyes Monetary Stimulus Again

BRUSSELS (AP) – Official figures show that inflation across the 19-country eurozone was lower in July than anticipated, bolstering expectations that the European Central Bank will provide another shot of stimulus to the single currency bloc next month.

Eurostat said Monday that consumer prices across the eurozone were up 1% in the year to July. That’s down from the original estimate of 1.1% and means inflation is further away from the ECB’s goal of just below 2%.

The core rate, which strips out the volatile items of energy, food, alcohol and tobacco, was even lower at 0.9%.

With growth faltering particularly in Germany, there are growing expectations that the bank will announce another package of monetary stimulus measures including a possible rate cut and bond purchases at its Sept. 12 meeting.


Yarp, these guys will be happy to see their biggest customer priced out of their markets by tariffs... :wink:

46% of our exports, £289 BILLION go to the EU, you Plonker !!

So Plonkers you really believe that exiting the EU will be beneficial to our economy !!
Almost forgot, you don't give a shit about the economy you just want your country back, no more Eastern Europeans just a load more third world economic/ asylum seekers, immigrants. Why are you so jealous of Germany ? Could it be that Germany is top dog in Europe?

The Prime Minister’s meetings with Chancellor Merkel on Wednesday and President Macron on Thursday will play as a pre-curser to a new ‘wider engagement strategy’ with European countries, Guido understands.

Despite overzealous media interpretations of No Deal planning, it remains the UK’s intention to deliver a deal that can pass through Parliament, and to that end bilateral conversations will ramp up following this weekend’s G7 summit. The EU will still have to drop the Backstop for meaningful FTA engagement…

While Michael Gove’s Cabinet Office is focused on No Deal planning domestically, Stephen Barclay’s DExEU is laying the groundwork for negotiations to reopen in four weeks’ time. The Government is not expecting the EU’s united front to crack until they see Remainer attempts to thwart the UK leaving on 31st October fail at the beginning of September. Ironically the people who are most jeopardising the chances of obtaining a fair deal and avoiding No Deal are the so-called ‘anti-No Deal rebels’…

But the EU has reached a fair deal with the UK and it was accepted by PM May. If the UK wants to have a better deal, they need to sign Northern Ireland to Éire then everyone will be happy as there won’t be the “backstop” problem.

It wasn't "fair" and it wasn't accepted. In fact it was rejected - three times.

No, the UK doesn't have to sign Northern Ireland over to the Republic, at all. Should anything like that even attempt to come about you would surely find the northern protestants would make "the troubles" seem like a kindergarten squabble. Moreover, the north would suddenly discover that without the UK's £9 billion a year subsidy, life would suddenly get a lot bleaker. A case of - be careful what you wish for?

Please, do try to look into things a bit. :roll:
