    Brexit,actually the UK has come out rather well.

    It wasn't me who said they'd been job looses, because of Brexit. Even in my little company, we've made cut backs and didn't take on the apprentice we had planned last year. We've cut marketing and had to pull out of shows. We've even dropped one brand. If you don't think all these little...

    Based on what??? Your trust in the French not suddenly wanting to check all UK exports into the EU is based on what?? If we leave the single market, no one in the transport and distribution shares your optimism, that I've found.

    Back in the 80s I suspect (I can check) but I doubt the UK imported as much as it does now from within the EU. Also, lets just assmume your estimate from back then, runs today. 10% of all imports into the UK by road are pulled for inspection. Dover wouldn't cope with even that small amount...

    they check a certain % of non trade stuff. You try importing as a business, its a different game.

    Things have moved on a bit since then! We had a parcel inspected last week and it came from Austria! So they are already tightening up.

    This is true, wages haven't been rising and have been falling. We have a nursing home over the road from our offices. Its always looking for staff, always. My sister in law works there! You can't blame migrants for this, they are doing the jobs that need doing. We don't have high...

    yes, so the business owners and business doesn't loose. Its the working man, that gets shafted... looses their job, whilst the ones who keep theirs find everything they want to buy has gone up, whilst their wages haven't. ... and we voted for this??

    you're looking at things from a EU importer of Chinese goods yes? You have no idea what the UK / Chinese relationship will be. I've imported from all over the world, lots of different products in different tariff categories, from Europe, Aus, US and Asia. Most of the UK stuff comes into the...

    we'll all be dead? oh, you mean this little bit of history. Yes I think we'll stay, or indeed leave and then get back in again. UKIP can then get back to fighting to leave, but their promise of "sovereignty" "migration control" "more money" etc etc will have been proven to being the...

    You've asked a decent question and made a reasonable point, so I'll repond :) I honestly don't think it'll have a massively negative impact on my business. I'm comfortable our business model can adapt and the way we work will mean we continue to take market share from the big players in the...

    I'll reply to your question about business in a minute... Yes... one would have expected him to want to lead the party through this glory time. Maybe ride the glorious wave he started for the next couple of years. Perhaps become an MP, hold the government to account etc etc. Oh no wait...

    Do you think I care? no. What I care about is that another leave voter has just had the opportunity to justify their reasons, with postive productive views. He's come back with the stock answers that are proven to be simply incorrect. You've said that many people more intelligent people...

    Sorry, I must have missed them. Can you link me to them. I do remember asking you to give me some reasons to be optimisitc and you said you would when you had a moment. I don't think you ever replied. If you did I'm sorry. If you can reply to this message with a couple of brief reasons as...

    He was leader of UKIP, so why did he quit that position. and as for Boris, he didn't even run. You can say what you like, but he didn't run and didn't apply for the position he has. He was given it wasn't he.

    no need to apologise, your defense and indeed lack of is as we've come to expect and give me another set of screen grabs that is off to our MP to show that the public might have spoken, but they don't know what they are talking about. Enjoy your bike ride.
