Meanwhile, that thick cűnt May has taken over negotiations so she can go to Brussels and bend over even further for Juncker, Barnier et al - which will go down like a cup of cold sick with ALL Leave voters,
Brace for impact, boys! Uncle Jez is heading for Number 10 at this rate.

Oh, probably. Jezza’s finally learned something from The Donald, it seems.
Its fascinating, all this talk of tariffs and trade deals. Decades of free trade were supposed to have pacified the world, increased consumer choice and embraced the principle of competition in business.
Unfortunately, it has also crippled industries in the developed world while rewarding those who pay grotesque wages in terrible conditions in the ****holes of the world.
If we stop exploiting people isn't everything going to get more expensive, including food? THis might help solve the obesity crisis as well.
Trump is a bit of a visionary really.....
The problem with that interpretation is that what you call ‘exploitation’ has in fact hugely enriched some of the poorest on the planet, lifting vast numbers out of poverty in an incredibly short space of time. Now the flip side of that is that first world economies have to compete on a more level playing field in which they have to provide high-value labour the rest of the world can’t offer. Just being a worker in a first world world country isn’t enough. Inevitably, that process has casualties as large-scale, low-value manufacturing becomes increasingly unsustainable at first world wages and moves to lower-wage economies. Unfortunately, however, our educational systems are still predicated on feeding an economy that simply isn’t there any more. This ought to be addressed urgently, but won’t be because there aren’t any votes in it.
However, the real irony here is that free market, global capitalism has done far more to spread wealth globally and raise the poorest out of poverty than socialism, protectionism and closed markets ever have or will.

What the global market? the flipped capitalist paradigm of everything and everywhere being 'equal'?
With regards food...it usually has to be serviced by the local market. Yes, there is international trading of commodity items but food us usually packaged and / or produced in the country of consumption. Ambient and frozen food being a slight exception.
the national minimum / living wage rising way faster than CPI/RPI puts massive pressure on suppliers to the major supermarkets as they cannot pass on inflationary costs.
So food doesn't get more expensive, the costs are absorbed before the retailer; or the retailers merge / partnership to force even more pressure on suppliers (Sainburys/Asda and Tesco/Carrefour).
So the suppliers source as much machinery and other equipment as they can from the ****holes of the world.
So, no, we'll all stay slightly towards or just beyond the upper end of the BMI chart...

Don't be talkin sh!t about May! Anybody wants to say something smart in re May, they gonna have to deal with me.

"Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.
"But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."
"Finally"? Jezza has been parroting Trump's"rigged system" line since I can remember.

Yes, but he’s grasped the nettle and offered working class Leave voters an ‘embrace Brexit’ narrative. That’s a game-changer.
