Yes, the competition is a bad thing /sarcasm.
Quote:But this means that living costs are much higher for the rest of us because Britain is a net importer (as argued by Brexiters as to why the EU will want to trade with us).
Yeah, and before being in the EU the UK was a net exporter. Wonder what happened?
The effect of Brexit on living costs is massively overstated by the leftist Guardian readers who predict nothing but doom and gloom and haven't noticed the current state of affairs. The standard of living hasn't really improved for 20 odd years and it's already impossible for young people like myself to get on the housing ladder. You wanna talk about living costs? Lol. Maybe if farmers didn't waste millions of tonnes of crops that didn't meet EU aesthetics standards we might have cheaper fruit and veg prices.
Absolute fantasy world you're living in. We're already doing shit no thanks to the EU. At least out of it our economy has the stimulus to grow. We might actually start exporting shit again.
Quote:So yes, well done, you've all voted to make yourself poorer so corporations can become more profitable.
I find it amazing that you would suggest this is not already the case by being in the EU. The entire thing is a giant fuck off gravy train for the elites. You'd have thought the liberal lefties would be strongly opposed but they're the biggest bedfellows the EU has. Bizarre. You want to talk about rich getting rich and poor getting poorer and yet can't see the wood through the trees.
