Post Brexit opportunities?

[SirGalahad]

So you advocate producing something in the UK at a higher cost than what you can purchase from abroad. I get the argument but would that also apply to suppliers? Where do you draw the line?

Take for example making Transit vans. Can you source all the parts and materials in the UK? If not where do you say this should be made in the UK and this should not? So then some organisation has to decide that? Who will that be? Government? But then that's more central control and that's not the free markets that we expect from Brexit.

The quitters are excited about turning the UK into an insular North Korea style economy. They are drooling over British Leyland style cars and poor health. At least they will be able to eat bent bananas.

Just make sure they're fair trade ones. They are particular you know.

Yes one has to have a fair trade avocado, it makes hoovering up coke so much more relaxing

I’m thinking after Brexit we are all starving so there must be some opportunity to make some money by producing something.

Where do we get our Pork? My sister keeps pigs on a small scale so maybe could make a more serious fmeffort to make some £££££

I’m wondering what I could produce to sell after Brexit, something that will be in demand but harder or more expensive to get?

I'm thinking of Importing Pigs from Israel

If our so called leaders had any backbone,they should have bought the Ford Transit plants, that were closed down with EU help,then they could start making our own Transit sized vans,which would be supplied to all government departments,EG police,NHS,local councils etc,then then there would be all the trdesmen that wanted to buy British.

They should also made sure that police ambulances council vehicles where MG Rover

Should we also build our own trains?

So, why were the UK plants closed down? Easier and cheaper to make people redundant here than other mainstream EU countries.

Think that will change for the better after brexit? Especially if we follow the USA model.

Your comment was not unreasonable, and personally I think it would be better if we could manufacture more things here, particularly for the home market.
But the Transit case showed that the EU was happy to partly-finance Fords' move away from the UK, so in that case the EU did us no favours.

Or is it that eastern Europeans are prepared to work for less?

Hopefully he will go and take all the other remoaners who want to stick with the Juncker's/Barnier circus, with him.

Utter bull. Don't let facts get in the way of a good (lies as usual) quitter rant.

You think being either in or out of the EU makes a difference to that?
