  2. Request Extension to article 50 to allow a general election and new negotiations.

  3. Request Extension to article 50 to allow cross party talks and a new deal to be put to EU.

  4. Request Extension to article 50 to allow a second referendum on 1. Remain in EU or 2. Full Brexit.

  5. Table a motion in parliament to Remain in EU WITHOUT a referendum.

  6. I don't know or I don't care anymore

Results are only viewable after voting.
  1. Fresh fruit and vegetables for one. They won’t be fit for sale if held up at customs.

    Find me a quote from an importer or exporter who says Brexit will be good for his company?

    Govt will not make Brexit work or fail, business will. They don’t think it’s a good idea. That tells you all you need to know as that will effect everyone.

  2. and yet no one said that they would die, they did say the german automotive market would suffer greatly if the E.U. decided they wanted to apply tariffs as then it would force a reciprocal application of tariffs, something the U.K. has stated from day one it did not want to do
     
  3. nice try but you forget those very same fruits and veg are often chilled to last far longer because even with a small delay (if that happens), through checks, they will still spend a few days on the shelves and displays waiting for the customer to buy them.

    The bit you always fail to declare and you do so deliberatley, is the eu ships to us more than we ship to them so if the eu starts severe checks for every lorry and for ages, it is european companies stock that could possibly perish so it would be an act of self harm. They would not get away with that within their own organisation.

    Find me a quote from an importer or exporter who has seen both the leave and future arrangment documents that have both been agreed, you won't find one.

    For most it is scare stories based on an awful lot of if's, but's, maybe's etc. It will be different and after running for a time, it will be seen as most will have forgotten about the change

    Business will adapt, the key is the term, business. They know how the game is played and will adapt very quickly and find the shortcuts too. It will see some changes to the system that they know but to say there has been no extreme changes whilst in the eu that has seen business's adapt to new rules and ways of operating, is the vocals of missleading statements.

    What and you didn't finish it with a mike drop or a "end of" ? Change is coming, not all change is bad, for the most part in day to day life it will see very little change.

    You'll be in France duke, no worries for you :D
     
  4. I'd recommend Japanese :):upyeah:
    There, that's answered this whole debate in one short sentence.....

  5. Fruit and veg;

    We have become used to the idea of a wide variety of European fruit and veg, esp from Spain, being available year round. I am convinced 'average shopper' could be in for a big surprise at the supermarkets without easy trade and customs.
     
  6. I'm surprised how many remainers despite claiming food impacts, know so little about the food they eat.

    The American chlorinated chicken was a good chuckle, till they found out european (eu) standard salad bags, fruit and nuts are often chlorine rinsed and have been for decades and in regards to the eu versus us chicken, on the table, the us chicken is 25% safer

    Now I deliberatly chose this story because it was before brexit was even mentioned, the time it is picked supports birdies situation, in that often picked from the field to the store in days is largely a porky

  7. BUT...that is very out of date! 2003. Come on.
     
  8. Be honest as well. Your talking about long term storage and packaging. Not delays whilst in transit.:upyeah:
     
  9. For Noobie. This is a 2003 Transit..

  10. I can do newer if you wish but the closer it gets to brexit date the more you will see "you're only saying that because of brexit"

    5 gold stars on the vehicle identification :upyeah::D

    the delays in transport to my knowledge in the recent 20 years have had nothing to do with us being in the eu but everything to do with the frenchies striking and blocking on their side I seem to recall. :D

    The point was to illustrate that with modern freezer units and storage, the picture painted all fresh food would die if we leave the eu was then, as it is now, just tosh.
     
  11. dead fresh food? Nope, I have no desire to eat dead fresh food. Alive, alive, alive please o_O
     
  12. J biker is a lycanthrope and I claim my ten free sachets of wolfsbane.

  13. Is Kenya ..or Chile..or Malwai in the EU now then? Go in your local supermarket and see how much veg comes from them and other far distant (non EU) countries. Doesn't look particularly rotten to me either.

  14. Fresh fruit and veg should be just that and not kept in storage for weeks.
