Subject: RE: BS: Post Brexit life in the UK
So, when tariffs are dropped all savings are passed on to the consumer are they? Interesting that this is what I have been saying should happen in an ethical world but one of your fellow brexiteers is saying that what really happens is that the companies in question will just use the savings to maximise profits. So, sadly, no savings on Steve's shirts and pants at all. In fact, without the consumer protection afforded by the EU, this government is likely to allow poorer quality imports to make even more money. All speculation of course but more likely than pigs flying prices coming down.
