Subject: RE: BS: Post Brexit life in the UK
OK Terikins I concede that one. The rest is all conjecture by both sides of the debate.

The 50 studies commissioned by David Davis into the impact of Brexit on various industries could also be construed as conjecture, however that information, gathered presumably by people with knowledge of the industry concerned, is being withheld from both the members of the House of Commons and the public at large.

With little, if any, factual information, how can people take decisions that will affect us all for an indeterminate period.

As for your other points

1. What evidence do you have to support the assertion that prices from other suppliers will be lower.

2. Yep, OTHER people are getting THEIR imports at lower costs, great for them. We however are paying MORE for our imports.

3. What evidence is there to support the assertion that the EU will still need the extra 11 Billion with the UK withdrawing, their costs will decrease to some extent. (If you have the correct figures please pass them to the UK government, it looks like they could do with your help).

4. The pound has consistently traded at approx 14-15% lower than before Brexit. Your assertion "While Backwardsman wails about the pound going through the floor (which it has not)" is utter nonsense, quite easily disproved by figures already provided by Nigel on this thread.
