"Evaluate the situation as well as the sources of predictions. Lots of discussions here in different threads, covering more detailed predictions and explanations. A vague claim is unquantifiable and has no source. Some common sense covers how prices vary by supply and demand as well as impacts of increased costs" Don't be silly! Get out there and start stampeding!  | |||

"why do the make statements like that and it starts a stampede at the shops and petrol stn " . I don't think there will be food shortages and there definitely won't be a stampede to the shops , because if the shortages do occur then the people who voted leave and therefore caused the problem will obviously do the decent thing and allow others to do their shopping first thereby lessening the rush | |||

" Presumably this fruit and veg will now have to go thru customs in Holland and at Dover now? " How does that work? Produce is imported to the EU under whatever trade arrangement/tariffs exist with the third country. The same produce is then exported from the EU to another third country, the UK, under whatever trade arrangement/tariffs exist. Who pays what tariff and where? | |||

Can you explain how it will be tariff free , perhaps first could you show the produce the tariffs and countries that we import from now So I'll start , currently , whilst in season , there are no tariffs for lemons from Spain however there are from south America, when they are not in season the south American tariff is removed So let's have a current list of foods and tariffs | |||

"Oh no we may have to grow our own ....ww2 spirit .. .ps if we can get some more global warming coming in ...We won't even need to import those exotic fruits you all keep talking about ...so see problem solved ...." Brilliant, captain mainwaring and Corporal Pike spirit is alive and well in the UK. We can all live on turnips. Whats for dinner today Baldrick. It's a surprise Lord Blackadder, well what is is it Baldrick." It's turnip surprise". Yes agreed in a perverse way Brexit may help Global warming. Alot less of us will be jumping on aeroplanes for starters as the prosperity we have built up ebbs away in the form of a dodgy pound. Thing is a lot more of them darn foreigners will be coming here for their hols to see our green and pleasant land so might offset a lot of the gains. That's if they don't mind turnips. | |||

"The Government has done an assessment, it's been presented to Ministers, but they won't make it public. Quite a bit has leaked out. Prof Tim Lang, of City University London, pieced it together for an article in the Lancet. He is concerned that the public is in the dark about the expected consequences of all these barriers to free movement re-appearing overnight." We'll get whatever the majority has voted for | |||

Yep.....and before we joined in 1973 inflation was 9%, the treasury told us joining would reduce prices, but within 18 months inflation had hit 26%.

The conditions that you are referring to were actually in 1976 (and to a degree 1977) and revolved around the biggest humiliation that this country had endured since Suez. The UK took an IMF loan for just under $4 billion (2019 equivalent $20+ billion) to stabilise the finances of the country that was also being damaged by very high oil prices. The IMF loan, coupled with the UK joining the Common Market stabilised the economy and the full amount was repaid within three years. Look at today's ingredients... 1) Crashing currency 2) Very low interest rates (and an independent bank) 3) A potential crisis in the Gulf What could possibly go wrong? | |||
