Unilever Brexit Scam ?

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 !
