Brexiteers are simply celebrating the sanity of this free-trade agreement juxtaposed with national sovereignty. It demonstrates how the two aren't mutually exclusive. Yipeeeeeee! And your analysis of the risks to UK jobs through this signing up to reduce/end tariffs to some pitiful wage countries is it seems  And all that for ~£70 per household GDP benefit to offset the ~£3.5k damage your folly has done with that 4% hit to the UK Office of Budget Responsibly Brexit Analysis Please say if you need help to work out that that leaves us well over £3k per household worse off (and that's after the Japan and Oz deals too) I see you are still in mourning. You need to move on and understand the UK has gone global in an endeavour for free-trade, rather than stifling regulatory harmonisation. That's how free trade works. The EU is the odd one out. Get used to it. |

1 tonne of grain converts to enough flour to make approx 2000 loaves. Off the top of my head, 1 tonne of 8 pin SO-8 chips (at way less than 1 gram each) equates to an more than 10 million units... Then businesses and consumers have the choice of purchase then. What's the problem? Look how people have become so conditioned by the EU that they are risk-averse to competition. |

Consumers often don't have the choice — other than take it or leave it — because what's offered to them, and where it's made, is dictated by others.
Most business off-shored its mass production decades ago. With chips and ICs, distance and the cost of transport amounts to a minimal %age of the cost per unit.
With raw materials and food, shipping and transport costs can be high — grain is currently $50 a tonne, ie, about one seventh of its total cost...

The Chinese have had to drop shipping costs by over 90% because the globe are no longer buying their crap.....They now have an ever growing mountain of shipping containers on their ports. |

I see you are still in mourning. You need to move on and understand the UK has gone global in an endeavour for free-trade, rather than stifling regulatory harmonisation. That's how free trade works. The EU is the odd one out. Get used to it. They need to take note of what Kemi Badenoch said. "Stop discussing a Brexit vote from 7 years ago" and concentrate on growing the economy! She's doing her bit. www.theneweuropean.co.uk/badenoch-critics-must-stop-talking-about-brexit/ |

UK is accepted into Trans-Pacific Partnership that will link it to a market of 500 million people and add £1.8bn to annual This part of Jonsky's post is positive. But that's it. If this is the height of Brexit, not a surprise that people are turning against it. |

But it is NOT JUST CHIPS is it? It's all bloody semiconductors that are used in modern cars.....The VW group have to purchase their semi conductors that bullshit over their emmisions from some far flung location. But the semi-conductors are made without using French fries or flour. |

Some will be turning against it because they were stuck in queues at Dover du to French port officials. According to the bbc travel correspondent simon calder.........
Simon Calder, travel correspondent at the Independent, said processing times since leaving the EU had increased sharply "and that would seem to explain the delays".
Speaking to BBC Breakfast, he said that having an EU border at Dover meant things were "gumming up", and that each individual passport must now be inspected and stamped.
This means that coach loads of passengers must disembark to have their passports checked, adding to delays.

Maybe it would be quicker if Brits used rubber dinghys to get to frogland. |

Wrong, we can re-join the EU whenever we want, it just needs someone with common sense in government. You're that man then.  |
