twoday posted:I think the way people are rationing is wrong. There will still be food flowing in, I guess, but certain things (especially from Mediterranean Europe) will become much more expensive and go overnight from being an affordable product to a luxury good. There will be adequate beans. I would be stocking up on olives and wine and hard cheese and that sort of thing. But even if I am wrong and it will be the Corn Laws/Famine 2.0, those things would also make for good barter, and I imagine the exchange rate for a pack of Jamon will be many cans of beans. so ThE mArKeT is very unpredictable but do we have an idea of where the pound will be valued in relation to the euro after brexit? I will lol if it ends up in Canadian/Australian/NZ dollar territory has the EU not essentially kept the UK on life support since decolonisation? it will be interesting to see what's left of the economy once the multinationals there for convenience leave when it's no longer convenient to be there. will they even have Most Favored Nation status after this goes through?

Who needs all of that poo poo when you can just survive on beans and the carcasses of your neighbors after they die of malnutrition?

I said "possible" scenario and after the Last two years I so mit think the UK is willing or able to do anything that will make Brexit less of a disaster for people in Britain.

I will lol if it ends up in Canadian/Australian/NZ dollar territory The UK was the sick man of Europe when they were let in, but they made bank by spreading their legs for the financial sector. The UK of today has overall a healthy economy. Or had one. We'll have to see what happens. My personal prediction for the pound is that it'll crash and become worthless within a week of brexit. I think they'll go without a deal.

The Pound is stronger against the Euro right now than it's been in months. I figured with all the uncertainty that now is when the slump would hit. Guess not

Randler posted:Nothing will ever top threatening China with a planeless and escortless carrier while negotiating a trade deal. tarbrush posted:Liam Fox and Chris Grayling are finding someone to hold their beer rn. Jeremy Hunt's had a go, too: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/...c-a8793471.html Today our Foreign Secretary went to Slovenia to try and reach an agreement to provide bilateral citizens' rights (there are around 80,000 Slovenians in the UK at the moment) and said that Slovenia used to be a 'Soviet vassal state'. Slovenia used to be part of Yugoslavia which, famously and proudly, broke away from Stalin and the Warsaw Pact to implement its own form of socialism and was a founding member of the Non-Aligned Movement. Within Yugoslavia, Slovenia was the republic most open to forging economic links with the West. But then, this is the man who can't tell the different between Chinese people and Japanese people, despite being married to a Chinese woman.

Oh, he's the guy who said all those foreigners made people racist, so England has to deport the foreigners so his half-Chinese children will not be subject to racism, right? Almost forgot about that one.

China, faced with the horrifically pathetic mirror image of a former bigshot acting like a delusional has-been fool, immediately shapes up into a solemn and responsible 21st century great power, regaining it's former glory times 10. And leading the globe to a new golden era. Meanwhile London is annexed by carrion rats.

Deriding such failings has been so much the province of pub bores that sensible people switch off when they hear it. But Theresa May’s cabinet seems to surpass all its predecessors in the extent of the gap between what is said and what is done.

More storm clouds looming for the labour party it looks like. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/feb/23/corbyn-told-change-course-before-its-too-late-for-labour-michael-savage "Some of Labour’s most influential figures are urgently warning Jeremy Corbyn to change his approach to antisemitism, Brexit and factional infighting, as more senior politicians reveal they have already decided to quit the party. Figures across the party say that a major exodus of MPs, peers and councillors will be triggered over the next few weeks unless the demands for change are met, with some already poised to go."

1) may's deal fails to pass, tensions over brexit cause labour remainers to split to TIG 2) by-elections for TIG member seats 3) labour and TIGs split the vote, resulting in victory for soft-brexiteer tories 4) may's deal passes with slim majority 5)   all going as planned for the moldeater
