More expensive transport costs, more expensive raw materials it's not as simple as exports will be cheaper.
All imports will be correspondingly more expensive as well.
I have no idea what the overall impact will be, but it's not a simple as it's being made out to be.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
Daily Mail reports that the EU is going ahead with plans for an EU army now that we have voted to leave.
Wonder if that means the introduction of National Service and a requirement to enlist for all our younger voters if we opt to remain? Like all these things we'll have to wait and see.
Don't remember Cameron, Blair and Major mentioning the EU army formation in their pitch to the voters.

Loose a country of 65 million and gain a country of 76 million, I guess it's bye bye Britian. An as for panic? Is this the same as the panic buying of fuel someone on here predicted or infact had witnessed happening? Leavers are not panicking , London might be but this country is a lot bigger than London.

So you no longer have a problem with millions of Turkish immigrants coming into the country in a few years time even though we left?

I don't think we can prevent them coming if we accept freedom of movement for EU nationals. All we can do is manage their locations better so that communities are not overwhelmed.
Given the perceived hostility in some areas of England it may well be that Turkish immigrants would feel happier settling in London, Northern Ireland or possibly Scotland.

No longer have a problem with millions of Turkish immigrants? Firstly if you've been to turkey they aren't doing to badly over there so I doubt millions will come.
Secondly I never said I had a problem with Turkish immigrants. So I ask, do you no longer have a problem with millions of Turkish immigrants coming into the country?
If you're a "leaver" who voted purely on anti immigration then that's your choice and I respect that. But that's not the reason I voted leave.

The BDI have just confirmed they said no such thing regarding access to the single market. Going to have to start renaming him BS Boris.

They did say that regarding trade but I don't recall them saying anything about the Single Market. Do we really want the Single Market? I heard somewhere we'd be paying about 80% of what we're paying now and that's pointless.

They were always going to have an European Army whether we left or not. Remain are all panicking about nothing. Blowing things out of all proportion. The BoE has plans to keep Sterling steady.

Don't worry neighbour it will settle down. We're kind of in limbo atm and once we have a clearer picture of what's going on things will calm down.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
If the EU army idea is proceeding where does that leave younger voters if we remain?
I'm not sure if this was something they realised would happen.
---------- Post added at 13:19 ---------- Previous post was at 13:08 ----------
It looks like Tony Blair, Nicola Sturgeon and others including EU politicians are planning to block Brexit.
If Boris does not win the leadership election or is not involved with the Brexit negotiations the whole idea could die a death but we'll have to wait and see.

No you did't mention Turkish immigrants specifically but you stated control over our own boarders was a main reason.
If we go for EEA / access to the single market we will be back to free movement of labor and we will have the exact same control over our borders as we do now but we less say in matters, so what was the point in leaving again?
I voted remain, as it looks like my concerns and reasons for voting remain are on the cards. No change in the border control, paid access to the single market all with the added bonus of zero influence.
All this talk of sovereignty as if its a black and white all or nothing issue. Yes the EU did place limits on our sovereignty as does ECHR, NATO, WTO, UN among many other treaties etc.

If they won't take the low paid jobs then they'll have to enlist. No more sitting on their lardy asses watching Jeremy Kyle.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
Just wondering how the USA will get on with its hopes for a trade deal with the EU if the EU is insisting on freedom of movement given that the USA uses a visa system.
