I was being conservative 
Let's say I'm in control of what you eat. I choose all of the meals. Wednesday is Fish & Chips day, which is great - you love fish & chips! Thursday and Friday however, are Frey Bentos, and Chicken Korma. You don't like Frey Bentos or Chicken Korma. You feel you'd be happier if you had control over your meals, so you take control back.
I pop in on a wednesday evening, and you're eating f
king fish and chips! "What the fk are you doing PM, I thought you wanted control?!" I say. But the reason you wanted control wasn't the fish & chips, it was the Frey Bentos and Chicken Korma.
There's mushy peas everywhere. I warned you this would happen. Give me back control, we can go back to the Kormas. It's good for you
I'm glad we have control then.Let's say I'm in control of what you eat. I choose all of the meals. Wednesday is Fish & Chips day, which is great - you love fish & chips!

They can’t. They produce more than they could ever consume. Things like salad stuffs destined for the U.K. would just rot away, subsequent shipments would have to be redirected elsewhere but without the substantial market in the U.K. open to them there would be considerable over production and no doubt waste initially.
But that doesn't apply to UK food exports?Mrr T said:
You must be much older than I am. I would not regard WW2 as living memory, except for a very few.
My mum and dad were around in WW2, thankfully they are still with us and hopefully have another 20 years+ of enjoying life ahead of them.32% of females are expected to live to over 90, 21% of males are expected to live to over 90 using 2016 figures. That's a lot of people who have living memory of WW2 still with us.

Every single post from the so called remainers is filled with doom and gloom. Just over 40 short years of our Membership within a protectionist club has seen the U.K. being sucked in deeper to follow our rules. It simply has not worked for the majority of the U.K. electorate.
Amazing how remainers ignore the absolute mess the EU is in, you must know what I refer to.
And yet e pe t the U.K. to continue within a dying political experiment. Clearly, for me it’s worth a bit of short term pain for long term gain, it’s not simply money, although of course that is a major factor.
I hope that I will be around when the positives of our exit start bearing fruit.

I was just about to say that every post from leavers is filled with doom and gloom over the EU.
Funny old world huh.
I simply cannot stomach the EU operation of protectionism markets, attempts to fit the same regulations into 27 Countries, the threat of a Federal State, and all the other leavers reasons for wanting to leave the club.

You might want to have a read at this. It looks like 'no deal' might be a tad more worrying that Waitrose running out of premier cru.....

i understand there would be issues with our exports but why would we starve ourselves and bring about rioting etc by holding up food imports from the eu into the uk ?http://www.politics.co.uk/blogs/2018/07/27/this-is...
We could mitigate this by not exporting anything to europe but somehow i don't think that is going to happen.

If the French want to make it difficult for other EU countries to export their goods to the UK, then whilst it will hurt the UK, the impact on their (French] neighbours won't be well received will it?
France would be complying with EU law, as will ports in Holland, Spain, etc.More effort and compromise through our membership from the club may have seen an entirely different outcome to where we are at the moment For the U.K. wishing to become a third Country sends a message to the EU, the club is not functioning as ordinary people want.
so why would the French be making it difficult for other EU countries to Export to the UK?Surely it would be the UK making it more difficult for EU countries to export to the UK.

Questioning certain aspects on the proposals? Yes
Making silly generic comments about 'what Brexiters wanted'? No
Was taking back control not the primary reason for leaving according to Ashcroft?Making silly generic comments about 'what Brexiters wanted'? No

I believe most of the paper pulp comes from Russia, EU will be upset that they will not be stting on the U.K.
The Cushelle factory in Manchester gets half its paper from Sweden, the other half from Brazil. 2 grades are used, long and short fibre. Combining them both in layers provides the strength and softness required. The Swedish stuff provides the strength so that's on the inside, the Brazilian stuff provides the softness, so that's on the outside.tting on the U.K. So worst case scenario we end up with softer bog roll, but you'd have to be careful how hard you used it.

So it’s unlikely that we will be short, which is comforting. Thoughts of going back to Izal grease proof from the 1950’s would be a nightmare scenario.
It is medicated apparently, so does offer some benefit, although Anusol or Sudacrem might prove better.

Does anyone know how 'no deal' (no withdrawal agreement or trade agreement) is being reported in the EU27.
i remember similar claims in the lead up to the millennium.http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6003837/Pl...
