the EU applies tariffs to those goods so that they cant undercut
german and french producers!
If we ever get out of the grasp of eu we could see price reductions
of more than 15% on some items due to the removal of these
tariffs!
I quite agree with you we are and have been suffering from
stupendous stupidity by our political classes!

Hi
Some things will undoubtedly be cheaper, but not that many.
The EU is our nearest supplier, and transport costs affect prices.
We have vast numbers of EU Cars here, which will need spares for years.
Our HGV's, with the exception of Dennis, which are a specialist Manufacturer, are all EU Imports.
We have no Manufacturers here in the UK.
Any none EU Manufacturer will have to retool to meet our standards for these vehicles.
We have sold off our Manufacturing Capacity, we are reliant on others.
We used to be World Leaders in Nuclear Energy.
Our new Power Station is being built by the Chinese and French.
There is no quick fix for this, it will take many years.
It is still vital that we leave.
The latest from the EU is that there is a Common Taxation and Fiscal Policy, which in reality means we fit in with France and Germany.
No Thanks, they can swan off.
