Seems boris knows to turn pedals, but not keys. Wasn't his bike stolen from under him? Therefore he wants more police, to stop bike theft, so boris may safely bike through his kingdom.

We also grow a lot of them here ... shock !

Besides a lot of flowers we import are the exotic varieties so they are expensive anyway - transport costs on top of orchids don't deter young Romeo's when they might get their leg over.

Sometimes they throw in a box of chocolates as well - usually Swiss chocolates so they should save a bit on the Belgian stuff.

I don't think a wealthy socialist with a nice house, various out buildings and a walk in pantry would worry too much about an extra £2 on a bunch of freesias


Besides we control what comes into our country!
We have always had control of what comes into our country

Yes I can afford to pay more for flowers but there are many who cannot and that impacts on the florists

Both of the florists near me are very concerned as they believe the drop in sterling is already impacting on them and any disruption in the supply chain will possibly impact on weddings and funerals which are an important part of their business

I find it quite amusing that you think I’m a socialist but given your far alt right leanings I can understand how you might make that mistake.

The low pound sterling is a noticable problem for our flower exports. It increases the prices and british consomers/customers go for the cheaper flowers.

There is no right of bread, only left of him.

We do not have control of what comes into our country because we are members of the customs union and the single market. We are subjected to Brussels tarrifs and brussels non tariff barriers which also prevents us making trade deals that benefit our country rather than someone else's like Germany and France.

We paid a premium of £11.2 billion in the last fiscal year for this ...

We will control our tariffs when we leave the EU and besides, Kenya and a lot if other countries who supply us with goods are not in the EU anyway, consequently subjected to the common external tarrifs - another thing we can change when we leave.

The drop in sterling negates tariffs - do your maths

As for you being a socialist... your weird comments about me being far alt right say it all.

Your the gift that keeps on giving.

Tariffs and non tariff barriers do not stop us controlling what comes into our country. We can impose whatever restrictions we want and nothing stops us trading with any other countries in the world unless we are party to any embargo’s

You conflate control with trade agreement and tariffs

You also conflate a drop in sterling offsetting the tariffs that could be applied to our exports with the increased costs of imported goods due to a drop in sterling coupled with the tariffs that would be applied and the discussion was around imported goods

So t seems you are still having trouble with comprehension, you struggle to apply your math correctly and your grasp of economics is poor

Perhaps it’s because you are getting your information from dodgy sources. You frequently link to and quote from alt right websites such as zerohedge which obviously shape your views and political leanings. No need to be ashamed of it though, you are what you are.

Our trading policy is controlled and managed by Brussels - its called the customs union and the single market. Do you believe we can make our own trading arrangements and set our tariffs as members of the EU and set and define our own standards ?

Currency fluctuations would affect the tarrifs to our imports and exports. These would be under our control unlike the Eurozone who cannot devalue their currency. This is what countries do when trading - there are more areas to think about when it comes to trade rather than just tarrifs (which we will also be able to vary when we leave the EU).

If you ask me nicely I can explain all this to you
