BREXIT, the con that keeps on costing.

on the plus side though we will soon be able to buy hormone fed Australian beef that had been raised in conditions that wouldn't be allowed here because they are too cruel.

I’ve been with them since 1996, when it was Orange and I still have the same answering machine message.
This sort of thing is going to make me think twice about staying.

It seems likely that the other operators will very quickly follow suit

And massively increased credit card processing fees for uk-eu payments. Got a UK business with an EU customer base? Your processing costs go up five-fold. Yay!

In the Telegraph and on GB News there was a piece "5 things remainers got wrong". The article outlined some of the more extreme doomsday scenarios that people had made and debunked them..

The problem is that the pandemic has prolonged the delay in the inevitable negative consequences of BREXIT.

The Government has essentially been given a bit of a BREXIT free-pass as economies, movement etc has all been affected by the pandemic.

Also, those affected are shouting that they are affected but no one is really listening because the media is so biased in favour of 'not rocking the boat'.

When we start to get back to normal, pandemic-wise, then we will start to realise (after a little positive blip caused by post-pandemic energy and money being spent) the delayed negative consequences of BREXIT on our economy, academia and movement, and it is going to be bad. That's why the government are in constant PR mode.


Roaming tariffs is the start.

To be fair on roaming tariffs- its only EE doing it so far. So the consumer does have a choice.

On credit card payments this isn't the case. You cannot really sell B2C without accepting Visa or mastercard.

I don’t think we can really make educated statements until we have been out of the EU for10 years.
To be fair both sides (remain and leave) lied through their teeth

what lies did remain make?

Re: roaming charges

Pensions would fall through the floor, house prices would do the same. Cameron even wheeled in Obama to try to make his case.
It is what really lost them the vote in the end as remain continually ramped up the doom and gloom until the people didn’t give them any credibility

What do you mean? There are clear and specific down sides like this; like speed of goods through ports etc that are very clearly downsides. I think what is missing is clear and specific upsides.

Re: roaming charges

Bit of a 1st World doomsday then.

I'd blame EE (bt) more than brexit, didn't they all say they had no intention of returning to them, don't they already make enough profit to be able to cover this.
