Subject: RE: BS: Post Brexit life in the UK
Bit of a mixed report here by the CBI.

One snippet reads

The CBI study, compiled over a six-month period, says Brexit presents opportunities for rule changes in sectors such as agriculture, shipping and tourism that could benefit the British economy and consumers.

However, the report adds that these opportunities for divergence are vastly outweighed by the costs of deviating from rules necessary to ensure smooth access to the EU, the UK's largest trading partner.


However, Richard Tice, co-chair of Leave Means Leave, said: "This report from the CBI protects the vested interests of global multi-nationals at the expense of the approximately 90% of the UK economy that does not export to the EU.

Does he not understand "the EU, the UK's largest trading partner." or is he just looking after the interests of the part of the economy that does not export?
