UK Politics Thread IX: The Masses Against the Classes

[Chan Island]

The UK is still in the single market.

Naturally the moment the UK leaves the single market food will vanish from the shelves and the GDP will halve. This is how markets work. They never take into account future developments and just wait until these things happen before reacting.

Naturally, the moment the UK leaves there will have to be border inspections at the ports and airports. This will significantly delay the movement of goods, meaning that stockpiled reserves will have to be drawn upon.

And Brexiteers were laughing at people who were stockpiling things just a few months ago.

Assuming of course that it can be preserved. Insulin for example spoils very quickly. As do foods like berries, milk and breads.

This will, over the course of several days, me an that Yes, shelves will start looking sparser.

And to top it all off, let's remember that the man currently in charge making all of this go smoothly... is Chris Grayling. The man who hands shipping contracts to companies with no ships.

But don't worry, Boris has guaranteed that there will be drinking water.

It’s undeniable that EU imports will become more expensive and that EU exports will become less lucerative. Boris Johnson will just magic money out of thin air, yeah?

Yes. That is literally how modern finance works. The conditions which allow for it won't persist for much longer. But "magic money tree" is very real. EU imports becoming more expensive =/= the economy crashing. Funny how once we depart from the realm of generalised insinuations of doom these economic consequences are far less fearsome and sensationalist.

Why is it that whenever you ask a Remainer to construct something resembling an actual economic argument with actual quantifiable predictions you get these confused streams of fan-fiction about how we're going to run out of Insulin and MLP-themed realdolls?

[Ostroeuropa]

Tbf Gyroper may have a point. We can pretty much just give people more money to have things continue as normal and not much will change. We won't do that ofcourse, but we could.

Because it's true.

And you have nothing but mockery and denial.

[Ostroeuropa]

The real problem is that the economy is basically fucked anyway. So you're left arguing Brexit on cultural terms.

So that's drinking water shortages too then?

I see we have entered the realm of pure insistence and repetition

And we're back at completely unsubstantive jokes.... square 1, in other words.

.....nationalise the water?

[Based Groyper]

Voted Johnson in the poll. Far and away the cleverest person in British politics and I doubt the thread can produce a comeback.

WHATS NEXT!??!?
Nationalizing LAND?!

Pffufhuhuhuhuhuuhhhuh.

Obviously a nations physical territory is the property of capitalists, not the nation.

You can say a million things, but only one can be true.

Hey, land is easy, at least it stays in one place!

Yeah, let's have nobody responsible for the land and nobody incentivised to work on it.

Just quoting Boris.

Economists from across the entire political spectrum think the land tax is the best tax. functionally speaking that's the same as renting the land from the government and losing it if you don't pay.

[Based Groyper]

Enlighten me.

[Vassenor]

Enlighten me.

His statements regarding the TEAM GB table tennis team at the 2008 Olympics. Thought that the proper name for the sport was "Wiff Waff".

[Petrolheadia]

Source on that?
