"Now I know that not everyone will be devastated to find no Pot Noodles or Marmite on the shelves in Tescos but.... Unilever also own Vaseline...
"Vaseline for sexual purposes? Lol, that is so 1970's, it's 2016 so buy some lube instead.  | |||

"When the pound goes up do Unilever bring prices down?" Breaking news on sky news Unilever have now resolved it's dispute with Tesco and normal service is resumed. Personally I'm wondering what all the fuss was about. | |||

" Well we do hard Brexit or stay in the EU but I cant see Teresa May going against the majority vote." Earlier this year I predicted the following: Leave would win the referendum by a narrow margin Cameron would resign Article 50 would get delayed The UK economy would start to experiece pre-Brexit jitters Camerons successor would finally admit to the British public that any kind of Brexit would crucify the UK economy and would not go ahead without a further mandate thus triggering an early election which would in effect become a EURef2 by proxy That election would be decided on hard economic realities and the UK would remain in the EU. My personal opinion is that it is all well and good to have principles and to vote that way, but most people are more motivated by financial security. Project Fear is slowly but surely turning into Project Reality and thetre will come a tipping point. | |||

Project Fear is slowly but surely turning into Project Reality and thetre will come a tipping point. But it isn't is it?" You hold a personal opinion that the UK exiting the EU and single market will not have any economic consequences. Your view is shared by other people and I accept that you are entitled to your view. Logic, simple economics, every other world and commonwealth leader, every large accountancy firm and every single credible economic observer and forecaster would suggest that you are wrong. The pathway to the economic downturn has already started with the fall in the £GBP and next will come its close relation, inflation. The construction market is all about long term confidence and a couple of days ago it was reported that "Construction is in recession as UK economy weakens" (Daily Telegraph 12 August). We are now also seeing the stalling of those parts of the economy that rely on imports and so inevitably job losses will follow in those sectors. The pathway to an economic downturn is inevitable, but this is just the beginning. Once A50 is triggered the UK will suffer two years of very bad economic news and a recession. It is inevitable. | |||

Well what about the report from The Construction Index on the 4th October which said that the latest survey of construction purchasing managers indicates a solid return to growth for UK construction activity? Or Building.co which predicts output to grow 3.6%? I don't follow opinion though, I follow facts and the facts are the economy is doing well. Inflation has been too low for a long time and every time there has been a big drop in the pound the economy has seen a higher and sustained growth in the economy and a fall in unemployment. How do you explain that? | |||

The upcoming vote on the constitution in Italy later this year could be the death Knell for the Eurozone and if the vote goes against Renzi, italian banks could go to the wall and that could trigger a domino effect throughout the EU. Brexit will be least of the worries in the EU then, devaluation of the pound will seem like nothing compared to devaluation of the Euro and it could actually be the end of the EU. If it somehow manages to survive that, there are also upcoming elections in France and Germany next year. Merkel is toast, and i think she is going to lose badly, also if Front National in France get enough support in the French election it could lead to an EU referendum in France, if France votes to Leave then the EU is finished. | |||

" The EU is not finished and never will be. It will endure ups and downs and it will evolve. Remember that the EU is not a demagogue that sits omnipotent over-ruling all beneath it. It is a collection of currently 28 member states. Circumstances and conditions within the member states anre bound to affect the EU and that is why it will continue to change. Funadementally the EU is a great idea. Tying countries together in union where everyone is better together. It has its faults and it the council has for sure overstepped its mandate from time to time but that is just a reflection of the need for change. Wanting the EU to fail is like wanting to put up barriers between nations that they dont want - so why would they do it? | |||

Samuel Tombs at Pantheon Economics said the data backed up poor surveys of the industry in August, which “suggest that the construction sector has relapsed into recession”.... | |||

I have come to the conclusion that no matter how bad it gets the europhobes will never admit that they may have been wrong. In fact I believe that the europhobes would rather destroy our country than admit the EU is (soon to be was) really good for all of us. | |||

"I'm not a europhobe, I love Europe and Europeans. All I'm saying is the fall in Sterling is good for exporters. That's it. Not complicated. Not blaming anyone. Not angry with anyone. Getting on with life and business." We are Europeans, and so were our ancestors. The idea that leaving the EU equates to leaving Europe is popular among the finger wagging liberals who wanted to remain. I like to tell them that Europe wasn't created in the 1970's, and will still exist long after the EU fizzles out completely, which it will. | |||

"I'm not sure about the government ability either. But, I think they need to be allowed to stay poker faced and play the negotiation hard, to our best benefit. Making them show all their cards and explain PlanB and PlanC won't help our cause, as frustrating as it might be." It's why Labour are so shit at negotiations, Blair showed all his cards to the EU in advance and then managed to lose our rebate, seems Labour have still not learned the lessons from the past. | |||
