>After a 17 per cent fall in the value of the pound against the dollar since the Brexit vote, Britain, an island nation that has always imported goods from around the world to satisfy its needs, is waking up to rising prices.

>The first psychological blows were landed at airports, ferry and rail terminals, where British travellers suddenly found that foreign currency booths were selling them euros at parity with sterling.

>Then came a spat this week when the UK’s largest supermarket, Tesco, pulled supplies of Marmite and Ben & Jerry’s ice cream from its online shelves after refusing to accept a 10 per cent price increase demanded by its Dutch supplier, Unilever.The two sides made peace, but analysts and executives expect more shots to come.

>In the months ahead, the price of everything from olive oil to package holidays, petrol and electronic goods to clothes will go up, crystallising the cost of Brexit in the public consciousness for the first time.

>Mr Zanre warns that it is only a matter of time before he raises prices. If the pound reaches parity with the euro, as some expect, then he forecasts British shoppers will soon have to pay 20 per cent more for their olive oil.

>“Anything that’s imported is facing this situation,” he says. Food producers have warned that they cannot absorb the higher cost of imported commodities and will have to pass them on. Supermarkets, with their tight margins, are likely to follow suit.

>Alan Clarke, UK and eurozone economist at Scotiabank, warns that the real pain will be felt in 2017. “No one wants to be the first-mover, but as soon as one of those retailers capitulates all of them will be at it,” he predicts, adding: “It is a squeeze now, it’s a vice-like grip next year.”

The rise in the cost of petrol is already apparent. It is priced in dollars, causing foreign exchange shifts to flow directly to the pump. Since August, British prices have steadily ticked up from 110.03 pence per litre to 113.04 in October. For November, Mr Clarke is expecting 116.00 or more.

Holidays to the US and Europe — some offered by package tourism companies — are also more expensive, as many will discover as schools decamp for their half-term holiday later this month.

>“Anybody heading across to the continent is going to be in for a nasty shock,” says Laith Khalaf, senior analyst at the fund manager Hargreaves Lansdown.

with the idiot cabals too much of a chickenshit letting the stock markets go down a measly points,now they use an old risk-free to the stocks methods by raising prices of your shits

when will you britcucks stand up to this clear act of aggression?
>>
>>78861
Fuck off commie, businesses can set their own prices.
>>
Good thing the US is the largest food producer in the world. Looks like a new market just waiting to be exploited.
>>
>wah-wah-wah we don't want to be part of no EU
>no, please. Gib family discount!
- the thread
>>
>>78867
Last time the US shipped these levels of food supplies to England the Germans sunk the ships
>>
>>78881
And that didn't work for the germans then and it won't work for them now, fuck the EU and fuck germany in particular.
>>
>>78860

Money is imaginary, the pound is about as real as unicorns. If we all imagine it being worth more then it magically is worth more...

>Cold War II isn't between Russia and the US, It's between the EU and the US
>>
>>78962
China Russia and US, versus EU go
>>
>>78961
Yeah, but everybody-but-England saw it being worth far far less, and that's what count when you do business outside of England.

Now Britannia can pay more for Marmite and Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, or eat British ice cream and Marmite.
Yeah, take that Europe, not eating your Marmite.

>>78963
Can Japan be with EU? They're pals with France.
>>
>>78987
Sure friend they are all yours.
>>
>>78860
So they're just bullying them for leaving the special club? Wow its fucking nothing!

Keep calm and carry on chaps.

it makes sense. GB's currency took a hit, now all the shit they're importing costs more to compensate.

International businesses are rearranging their contracts and investments to countries other than the UK because of fear, the fear being unexpected disruptions to business that brexit could cause, the reduction in services and goods the UK exports to the rest of the world is roughly proportional to imports it can arrange (very roughly) through currency conversion, if the UK decides it doesn't want to confirm to EU rules (generally there to ensure health and safety of products and services) it will cause massive headaches to EU importers, this is what they are scared of,

The idealistic view is that Britain can become self sufficient, however in the EU and the general world stage we have a good position exploiting third world countries for cheap goods and services while we don't give them much in return (economic narcissistic codependency), people in this country will have a taste of the hard truth (they would eventually anyway) when the codependent nation realises that it is better off with its large workforce and resources providing for itself rather than holding up wealthy countries while it gets kicked in the face,

The best the UK can hope to do is join back to the EU before WW3 is started by world powers to "reset" developing countries so the whole leaching process can happen again, if you morally disagree with what I am saying then you are blind to the benefits of the systems we live in, and if there is a God, I guarantee we are all going to hell for participation and perpetuation of deaths and suffering of countless lives
>>
>>78869
You fucking moron, do you realize that they are raising prices SUBSTANTIALLY?
>>
>>79105
>The best the UK can hope to do is join back
They didn't leave yet. The Queen (not the PM) has to notify Europe she wants the UK to leave, then 2 years later it's officially out (unless other countries do something.)
So she could still have the bright idea to ask her people "Are you fucking sure?" and if the "disregard my first vote, I suck dicks" wins, everybody could forget about the whole thing.
The pound would stay fucked, though.

>>78860
Why do the globalists support open borders? What will they gain from this?
>>
>>79907
Cheep labor for their businesses.
>>
Norway did it the uk can too. Fuck the EU britain stood triumphant against europe before and will do it again.
>>
>>79907

>>79910
>this
look at it like union scavs. the native population will want to try improve thier wages in private and public sector work. but if you import unskilled, uneducated parisites it de-values their labour and also causes higher unemployment which in turn keeps a large ammount working class dependant on welfair/dol. also making the middle class pay more taxes to support dem programs and keep politicians on the pay roll

its just a way for (((the global eliet))) to stay in power
>>
>>78860
Fuck 20cents for olive oil. Freedom comes at a price. Everything better than living under EU dictatorship with obligatory imports of muslimterrorists.
>>

>79949 (eu)
>>
>>79897
I think it would actually bound back up as soon as it looks like we're going to go back into the EU as foreign investors will want to make money on the return to its previous value
>>
>>79274
What did you think was going to happen? That's the price of leaving the EU.
>>
Aren't they the fattest country in Europe? This is a good thing for them.
>>
>>78860
Are ya daft, son? The pound has devalued against the usd and eur, it means it costs more gbp to import stuff, the EU has nothing to do with this until they put tariffs on Britain.
>>
Oh no! No more Ben and jerrys. Oh how I am so sad
