UK and Ireland retailers warn of 40% tariffs on food in no

A no-deal Brexit could lead to tariffs of 40% or more being imposed on food such as beef and cheddar cheese, driving up prices in shops and squeezing household budgets across the UK and Ireland, retail organisations from both countries have warned.

It's infuriating that our quality of life is going to be slammed by their decision to chuck themselves off a cliff

[That Sprite]

is it still a good idea guys?

[Cyclocius]

Only if the EU give us a good deal, we know it exists! We just need to make it real and then all our symptoms will be solved without addressing the underlying actual problems.

The higher the tariff, the higher the incentive to smuggle is across the northern Ireland border.

The higher the amount of smuggling going on, the higher the amount of money to be made.

The paramilitary/terrorist organisations of northern Ireland are going to be back in business.

the new wallace & gromit will be very interesting

This is going to be like the Trump border wall, isn't it... in his case, use tariffs imposed on the citizenry to fund that - in our case, tariffs used for the £350m a week! Take that EU!

Depressing thing is that they will spin this as anti EU propaganda and the leave voters will lap it up.

We have a supermarket called Iceland and the Danes colonised it, so they'll probably blame you.
