In one month we lost 16 weeks or 3 months worth of £350m pw we are saving according to the side of a bus - utter fucking buffonery

Using your logic what happened to the £6.6bn less we spent on imports.

I'm no trade or financial expert but I don't think your calculation works in any way whatsoever. Surely it depends on taxable profits of the exporting businesses rather than gross goods values.

Well that's the figures in. Our EU exports are down 42%. If only someone had mentioned this would happen? Still, Blue Passports, hold onto that people, hold onto that.

The only other thing that keeps the shotgun locked up, is the "fantastic deal" with Japan, that's a staggering 0.007% of our old EU deal. One in the eye for the so called experts who claimed we would be fucked.

Rule Britania, our goods will have to stay.
Britons will never never never sell so much again.
Rule Britania, we've got a load of fish, it's now rotting in a warehouse, smelling like pish.
Rule Britania our crops rot in the field's
No one to harvest them, is a magic deal.

Rule Britania, we love a form to fill
Just a pity that the red tape comes with a bill.
Rule Britania, we're going it on our own, selling stuff to pacific islands on the phone.

Rule Britania, we now have blue passports. So, just, forget about the fact, we can't export.

Makes you proud.

You are Robbie Burns and I claim my fiver. (Whatever that means. Never really got this reference)

Where are all the Brexiteers? Metal Biker et al? Is it just me, or do or other people wonder where the fuck they have gone, as the predicted shit has hit the fan? My bet is they are sitting in their room, fondling their new Blue Passport. £5.6b lost. Now, I'm not an accountant, but that seems like a lot.

I asked the same question weeks back. I assumed there had been some kind of Barney with bans handed out.
I’ve no idea.

The ones who haven't vanished completely have dismissed this thread as a repetitive echo chamber and as long as there's still stuff on the shelves in their local supermarket they will dismiss the difficulties experienced by industry, agriculture, fishing, services, importers, exporters and anyone who wants the ability to go where they want when they want in Europe as minor teething troubles, and they will dismiss the Brexit black hole in the economy as 100% a consequence of Covid.
And the blue shade of the new passports is so dark most people reckon they look black.

They are full of utter shit. And have been from day one. They can pull these excuses out of their arses, the same place they got their economic argument, all they want. Everyone knows they haven't a fucking clue how a successful economy stays that way. They are brilliant at backing economic disaster strategies though. The sad thing is, I doubt any will be man or woman enough to admit they were sold a dead pup. They will no doubt say, dead or not, its a British bulldog pup, wrapped in a St George and that's good enough for us.

that's the weird thing about it. no one who voted for it is prepared to say 'this isn't what I voted for'. they're still just bizarrely delighted to have been in the (slight) majority in 2016.

Daughter is 18 today and for obvious reasons celebrations will be low key. The jury is out on what the state of play will be for other milestones down the line but her 50th promises to be a belter.

It's a scandal. Stupid cunts voting to leave condemning generations to suffer because they are xenophobic bastards.

What can they be happy about? Oh wait, Farage the ****, said Immigration won it, he's right. So the thickest among us decided it's great as long as we don't have to listen to an accent. Some of the poorest areas voted to be even poorer. They got that right at least.

I voted for it and it's made no difference to me, yet. The problem with this thread is it gets personal and you can see the profiling going on which is far from the truth. Plus whenever I have pointed out provable inaccuracies they just get ignored. In the end this is football forum first and there are obviously very few experts on here regarding complex trade. All I see now is angry people calling me a ****. Why would I want to engage with that?

Let's here the innaccuracies? Own your position. Tell us how it will all be great. When it will be great and how do we make it great by binning the place we sold 47% of our exports? If I had a £ for every time I was called a **** on here I could offset the defificit and still have enough to buy France. Do what I do, argue your case, but, also do what I do, when I make a **** of it, as I have a right few times, own it and admit it.
