Thing is, if France and over countries just stop trying to prevent people reaching the UK, we WILL need to deal with them when they arrive.

And the stupid retard producer economy think they will be able to do whatever they want now since no EU Rules apply. (muh bendy fukken bananas m8)
OH, wait, good luck selling the fucking things to the only market you had, the EU.
Most of our exports were also based on imports... FROM THE EU.
This is what kills me every time I see these fucking retards saying stuff like "oh hey, look, sales of British products are up", NO FUCKING SHIT YOU STUPID FUCKING CUNT, THE POUND IS DEAD IN THE WATER, OUR SHIT'S CHEAP.

The others? India, Australia. Both want to make deals, but offer no guarantee it will be anywhere close to before or in 2 years time.

You're fucking delusional if you think we can survive off limited cheap exports
We're NOTHING. We're a tiny little shithole with barely any resources to do anything on a global market.

>The economy will be fine, stop overreacting and wait and see what happens.
No it won't, it will be shit. The surge in exports after brexit was people jumping on the weak pound and buying up stocks before the prices go way up due to relying on EU imports to produce end products. Furthermore, the UK makes fuckloads of money being the de facto global financial center, which it is because of it's access to the EU and conveniently being in a timezone that can do business with the US and far east in the same business day. Frankfurt will be getting this.

Most of them are multi-national companies and large numbers of them are moving out of the UK soon.

Our glorious home-grown UK businesses are fucking SHIT.
Our banking sector, for example, is a joke. It only exists to allow others in to the sector from other countries.
I forgot the proper term for it, but it is like hosting something deliberately inferior to allow superior competition to take the limelight. Oh, The Wimbledon Effect, that was is.
A large part of the success of Britain as a service hub for the world is owed to the fact WE GIMPED OUR OWN BUSINESS IN EVERY INDUSTRY.

They are. German industry has already sided with the EU, the UK is one of their biggest markets, and they'd rather not have any dealings with the UK. France has repeatedly said that it will be difficult for the UK to get a beneficial deal with the EU.

so $1,499.00 american is 1198.91 British Pound according to google. so UK has been, and still are, getting over charged comapred to america.

you have to be 18. see >>58980330 and >>58980426
no matter what, UK are paying more than america are for the surfaces and they have been long before this recent price hike. the starting price should be £1198.91 instead of £1,449.00.

>>58980452
and to make it more clear, £1198.91 to match the american starting price of $1,499.00. starting it off at £1,449.00 is the american equivlent of $1811.39 according to google at the current value of the pound to dollar.

>You pay attention to our elections,
They are completely hilarious because your politicians as well as your people are so completely fuckin retarded. Who wouldn't want a good laugh?

>you pay close attention to what our government does
Not really.

>you buy our technology and other consumer electronics
99,9% of them are assembled in korea and china. And I don't own anything applel.

>you allow bases of our military on your land
I didn't want you assholes here. Corrupt polititians do.

>you watch our television and cinema.
Jews make that.

Face it nigger, you americans get assfucked every day while singing glory to the homeland.

Why *should* you pay a fair price for imported goods?

Why shouldn't you pay double, or triple?

If you're so great, why don't you buy goods from that huge UK-based technology company?

Why don't you go complain about this on 4chan.co.uk, the extremely popular UK-based message board?

Oh... that's right.
