Been googling again Bruce at the bottom have to point out it is set by the EU anyway just bought something £75 of the internet a posh bed quilt made in China!
A brand name made in China no wonder we thought we had a bargain still ok thoughts?
Still trade at a discount price
Because I import a lot of ingredients from the EU, the weak pound has increased costs significantly and suppliers across the EU are putting their prices up due to the uncertainty caused by Brexit. Or that's what they're telling me at any rate.
There is one very important ingredient which I can only source from Spain which I've just been told is going up from £1.18 by 56p/kg next year.
Europe is also in the midst of a sugar shortage, which isn't helping, either.

If we leave the EU, unless we have some alternative arrangement, we will go with WTO tariffs

Free movement of EU citizens. What about non-EU citizens?
They come in under scrutiny mainly students!
Government faces backlash from business leaders over plans
Didn't take long before Rudd received a backlash about her proposals for controlling immigration. A bureaucratic nightmare for businesses. She will now be in the firing line.

Because I think it will hurt enough of their economy to force the electorate to want change at the top of the EU and many of that electorate will think the best change is simply to leave especially those that will be hurt the most. i.e. Germany and France.Please explain how a hard brexit will hurt Europe more than it will hurt the UK. Fascinating theory
The smaller countries have little to gain from allowing Britain to keep free trade and curb immigration and this hard line stance will be seen in Germany and France as the reason the deal falls through making the electorate in Germany and France anti-EU.
Germany and France may be able to bully the smaller countries but there's no political will to do that because deep down the political elite think they are right and Britain is wrong.

No one could have seen that coming.....Guardian article quoting Jeremy Corbyn and selective quotes about a proposal that hasn't yet been drafted or rolled out. The people who want high tech people, etc, will still get them, those that want low skill/low pay east Europeans won't ..........
I think Bruce meant outside as well as if they let us trade in the single market i.e. WTO- May pointed oil today our manufacturing, and productivity needs to expand and get better no EU red tape it's on!
Also Remoaners forget we have an 8.5 million annual deficit with the EU every year!
That surplus will be very handy to invest wisely !

Sorry, not being awkward for the sake of it, but I've read your response 4 times and do not understand it - can you elaborate further?

Yea I don't know much about what was actually proposed and I don't much trust the Guardian but if true I think it's wrong.
Shaming people for taking advantage of a broken system isn't the answer. It's the system that needs fixed.
