Current Affairs The benefits of Brexit Page

Why stop there?. We could have Mexit too.

We could have our own football league. By that stage the RS will be part of a European Super League anyway, and once we move into our shiny new home at BMD we can look forward to our annual derby with Waterloo Dock .

And I bet we still get pipped for the league each year by Tranmere. Everton that.

British tea with your gammon and chips.

It's actually not far from me.

It's a very well respected company, one of the larger employers in SW Cornwall providing much needed year round jobs, mostly to young people. Indeed it's apprenticeship scheme is recognised as one of the finest in the country.

It doesn't just make tea, and does so in an environmentally friendly way, it also maintains ancient woodlands and protects the local wildlife. The tea grown and blended here is celebrated as some of the best around and is exported all over the world, even to China and India.

Most countries would applaud a company that has the temerity to start a new business completely alien to their climate, and to make a success of it. Apparently not here though. The Brexit Brew is a marketing ploy. Pure and simple. As business people they would be fools not to exploit that market, which as you have found out is huge. But it is just another brand of which they have dozens.

Hear some Tory minister has addressed the NFU, he has guaranteed excitedly 10000 seasonal farm workers, he went a bit quiet when he was told they need 70000...

While it might be good to share the learning across member states about infection, the UK leads on a lot of this work.

Also, the EU demands that every country in the EU signs up to the EPP (EU pandemic programme), but as it's not yet been declared a pandemic the EMA European Medical Agency) haven't started proactively vaccinating people or preparing countries with the necessary drugs and equipment and worse still aren't supporting the Italians because state aid rules about pharmaceuticals forbid it.

On this issue, member states pay millions into the EU health programme who then dictate to the national immunisation advisory Groups (NITAGs) when and what they can do, which in practical terms like this is problematic because it's a lot of red tape.

Definitely one benefit for being out of the Union I'd say. Assuming the UK takes the necessary steps to proactively prepare for it getting worse

I might have made all of this up

Good job I read the white text before I posted, otherwise I'd look like a dim bulb indeed for congratulating you on finding a benefit.

It's almost like letting industry sort themselves out is the most revolutionary idea in the history of mankind isn't it? The supposed party of business going for a centrally planned economy. It's a funny old world at the moment.

Thanks, good to see one benefit. I see you made mention of the currency rates playing a part, but I would be interested to hear how Brexit played a part too.

A weak currency will always help exporters and that'll be the main reason they're getting more orders, but they've seen that before and it's not the whole story.

Part of the reason for an increase in the pipeline is because some US companies, who they've very rarely dealt with before, are much keener to do business with them because they're anticipating seeing a much closer working relationship between the two countries, so they're now willing to put more effort into building a relationship.

On a vaguely related topic, I'm part of a very small service based company, and, after a fairly quiet couple of years, we're now being asked to look at the type od projects, both within the EU and non-EU, that seemed to have died a death.

Obviously that's not down to any perceived benefits of Brexit, but it is down to the removal of one layer of uncertainty associated with Brexit. It's a cliche, but also true, that uncertainty is an enemy of business. Even if ( when ? ) we end up with a crap deal with the EU, at least we'll know where we stand, and can plan accordingly.

Missing a trick not putting arsenic in this. Would raise the average IQ of the country very quickly

It's highly likely we are being directed towards no deal meaning that the tories and pals have got all sorts of scams and shading dealings lined up to make huge personal profit on this chaos. Therefore can any of the leavers tune the rest of us as to how we can also join in on this cash making jamboree, after all they all knew what they were voting for.

Predictably announced today that Britain will no longer participate in the European Arrest Warrant, so that's a Brexit bonus (if you're a criminal).

Well, our hard-working gangsters and robbers have a right to continue living in unfettered comfort on the Costa.
I'm sure they all voted Tory and Brexit to a man. Proud patriots.

Now we're out of the EU, the government will be able to cut the subsidies to farmers that currently makes up 2/3 of their income.

All part of the short term pain. But don't worry, it's all going to get better one day.

Shouldn't be in business if they need the government to provide 2/3 of there income.
No other private sector business would get away with that.
