E U. Should we stay or should we leave.

Is that really the best you can do its a bit like brexit full of unknowns and full uncertainties if you want some facts I will give you one look no further the pound has been on its arse for 3 years since the Brexit vote costing this country billions and billions building materials engine parts you name all going through the roof Brexit 100% to blame you can dream as much as like with Brexit thats the bottom line fact not fantasy.

 

Can you give us some examples of imported building materials that have gone through the roof?

The biggest building material category for imports is electrical wires and they mostly come from China and they will therefore become cheaper when we leave the EU and they are no longer subject to tariffs.

Lamps and fittings are the second largest category imported - can you guess where they come from?

 

The UK is also a major exporter of cars and engines and a weak pound is actually good for that export business.

Building materials are just a small part of the jigsaw being to the pumps lately everything is rocketing .

Then why did you specifically highlight "building materials" and "engine parts"?

Building materials We import around £15 billion Worthing of building materials ask any builder if his costs have risen .My brother has a building company employing around 30 lads his building costs have risen dramatically as they say in building trade they are going through the roof and all to be passed on to the consumer .

 

Engine parts up 20-30% since the Brexit vote .

Ask anyone in any industry at any point in history "if his costs have risen" and can you guess what they'll tell you?

[chesters1]

Any excuse to raise prices

On the other hand time to open up those thousands of clay quarries to make local bricks again ,good for local business or does cod just want foreign companies to prosper?

The local bricks are extinct now (long before brexit was concieved) if planners insist like for like then the brick prices rise for second hand bricks common supply and demand as usual nothing to do with brexit ,if building is increasing throughout the country like it is here then brick supply will suffer and its nothing to do with brexit again its suplly and demand but using brexit to raise prices!

Do you ever get off your boat cod reality is far distant to the gumf you read in the press!

 

Your very anti british ,you love your foreign companies full of their foreign labour ,if car parts become expensive surely you would want british companies to start making them like they were before we entered the EU ? Keep the unions out and we may get them on time and cheap enough to compete!

Brexit hasnt happened but its still an excuse ,the high £ is an incentive not to import and its great for exports if anything else the brexit excuse is an invite to start producing our own goods or finding cheaper sources if the EU get bolshy ,i was using indian pattern parts for decades ,if you add in their shorter lifespans the cost is still half 'real' parts are ,if we insisted parts were at least the standard of 'real' ones the cost would still be cheaper including the high £! Or just make our own steel is almost given away today!

If foreign car companies insist on their own parts hopefully they go out of business ,the second hand market will flourish ,the pattern parts business will flourish ,the local garage will flourish and its not like we need more cars on the road is it? Once we ban internal combustion engines most of your problem will go the sudden surge in the price of lithium will ensure only the rich can afford a car anyway! Not brexit supply and demand!

 

As for cheap food have a look in your larder your food comes from all over the world not just the EU! we import it mostly because its easier and quicker not because its cheaper!if spain wants to sell us stuff after brexit they will theyre not stupid enough to punish their own profits ,they will merely reduce the price to counter and duties imposed by either side

Chesters, I have to strongly disagree with your last post in its entirety.

 

You are wrong in everything you say and to prove my point I want you to read https://blogs.mcall.com/master_gardeners/2019/07/whats-making-holes-in-my-cabbage-plants.html

So all your cheap goods from China you buy so lets lets make them here then they are arent cheap anymore brilliant idea you will go with that Chesters surely but the Brexit reality is !!!

 

Good old brexshit and if you havent got an allotment Chesters your going to need one very soon you spout about buying British then to get it from abroad is that called a been hypocrite you say one thing then do the other and I am anti British ****s what the old saying when it suits like most brexit voters say one thing then do exactly the opposite.
