Unilever Brexit Scam ?

[macabethiel]

Well just like when we went Decimal back in 1971 and prices soared Unilever has started to take advantage of the Brexit and the Pounds fall. Well done Tesco for doing what it has done.

Marmite is manufactured in the UK in Burton on Trent who sell it all over the world. One of it's main ingredients is Yeast. So how has the fall in the pound made this product more expensive as it is manufactured in the UK and probably the majority of it's contents are sourced from the UK ? On an export basis it will become cheaper to sell abroad so they might sell more and make more profit !

I suspect that in the long term the prices of products manufactured in the UK are going to become more competitive than those we import so the economy might even boom in a couple of years when the UK industries pick up the advantage..

Now we have Nicola Sturgeon causing trouble wanting to re-run the Referendum. I would like to see a UK referendum at the same time asking if we want Scotland to be part of the UK. We could do a Donald and re-build Hadrian's Wall and let them live of their oil and join the Euro if that what they really want !

No offence to our Scottish Members !

And we should allow the rest of Europe to tell us what they think regarding Brexit and give them a vote, no?
Does the wounded partner in a divorce ever get a vote?
Re prices, we're expecting a 10%, probably more that the pound has weakened, increase on at least on of our leading products, which will just make my job a little harder..

Well since you mention it Divorce proceedings can be started by either the Husband or the Wife and they can counter petition as well !

I hoped Scotland would stay as a part of the UK and that the last referendum would put an end to them leaving for at least a generation but clearly the SNP wants otherwise so I for one will be pleased to see them leave now and be done with it.

My opinion of Nicola Sturgeon went rapidly down hill when she broke her own rules about not voting on matters that did not affect Scotland. She voted against an easing of the Sunday Trading laws in England & Wales and guess what ? Scotland already has relaxed Sunday Trading. She is clearly a Hypocrite !

Isn't going to stop them leaving though, is it? If you love someone, let them go and all that rollocks.
The rest of the EU should have a say on Brexit. If Scotland wants to leave, they can. It's nothing to do with me.
I guess the easing of Sunday trading would have affected Scotland, especially for day trippers heading over the border for a bit of shopping, on a Sunday.
A bit like me popping over the border to do my shopping in England to avoid the plastic bag tax (obvs before England joined in).

TBH the only time I believe Politicians think of "Voters" is when its coming up to General Election Time.

The Expenses Scandal a few years back pretty much destroyed any faith I have had in Politicians of all parties. Clearly most Politicians are against leaving the E.U. so have no interest in making a success of it despite what the voters wanted.

Just like Sturgeon wants to re-run the referendum until she gets the outcome she wants. I suspect that every effort will be made to sink a good Brexit outcome with the hope of either getting back into the E.U. via the back door with a Trading Agreement or perhaps a re-run of the Referendum.

The mistake Cameron made was to give the decision to the Electorate in the first place. He feared losing the last election due to the potential electorate support of UKIP so was stuck with the referendum promise.

We should not blame the Voters for Brexit but the Politicians for facilitating the Referendum in the first place!

Don't shop at tesco or eat Marmite so won't make the slightest bit of difference to me
