Thread Name: BS: Post Brexit life in the UK
Subject: RE: BS: Post Brexit life in the UK
So you think my Asda George shirts and my Mountain Warehouse pants will go down in price after Brexit? When the pound's collapsing making our imports dearer? And before we've done deals with non-EU countries that will take years to do? And when retailers see a chance to boost their profits? And when this government is slashing public sector pay whilst inflation is soaring and bobbling people's spending power? What candy-coated, cloud cuckoo-infested planet are you on, Keith? Sounds like a land of vain hope and no glory to me.

The CBI is not slavishly anti-brexit. The CBI has accepted the referendum result and is daily making the case for an orderly brexit and lobbying for staying in the single market and customs union, and is advising its members on what contingency plans and adjustments they need to be making. It takes into account the views of thousands of businesses, large and small, who are a damn sight closer to the nitty-gritty realities of this than this pathetic government and ideological little-Englanders like you. Have a good look at their website instead of playing the willing role of Mail-fodder. And educate yourself instead of insulting an organisation which, unlike you, has its feet on the ground.
