But you say we can - care to elaborate?

I can now get a vacuum cleaner that sucks up better than the EU does......

Of course we can but none of the above are due to Brexit though so it's a false assumption to make.

A prize for missing the point.

They are opportunities that the new post Brexit U.K. are in a position to benefit from.

No they can't as what you have stated is a global problem and not down to Brexit

 

Fish and chip rises are due to inflation and the fishing industry cannot help reduce those prices even if it wanted to and high prices suit them just fine as it means more profit.

The Ukrainian grain supply being blocked does not matter to us as we dont get any from them and our production of home grown wheat is already rising by ove 444000 tons so the farming industry are already on to it.

Fertiliser prices are also a global problem and just investing in the chemical industry wont help as we still need to get the supplies and raw materials which are in short supply which impacts on the ability to increase the grain production. The way that is going at the moment farmers are actually cutting back on fertiliser which will probably mean less wheat will be harvested.

 

They way shortages are causing inflation at the moment will not suddenly go away as we just can't get the raw materials in the first place to make much of a difference.

So there are absolutely no benefits from Brexit.

I was trying so hard to find a silver lining .

As a firm opposer of Brexit ,can we get something out of it in the current climate.

Fish and chip prices flying.

Step in The U.K. fishing industry’s.

Ukrainian grain production and supply blocked.

Opportunity for the farming community.

Fertiliser supplies hit and prices escalating.

Invest in our chemical industry.

Refineries hit,the list goes on.

Fishing industry option is a no-go, because the fish used for F&C is insufficiently present in UK waters. The UK recently asked Norway to fish and export more of it. Norway said no, because stock husbanding/conservation.

 

Ukrainian grain production dwarfs UK grain production, a volume that makes it very cheap, wherein its main markets are 3rd world countries. Hence the ongoing debate about Putin gradually weaponising world hunger. UK farming not cheap/large enough to be competitive as a replacement supplier.

 

No investment in UK chemical industry likely, so long as the government remains ambivalent about regulatory divergence, and as the British homegrown replacement for REACH (-and many others) remains a moving target. That problem is echoed in most fields of economic activity with heavy international regulation and coordination, and goes a long way to explain problematic FDI levels in the UK. Businesses, and especially their investors, like environmental (laws, rules, etc.) certainty. Continually making noises about those (e.g. divergence, NIP breaching, etc.) scares them away.

Not even arch brexit supporter James Dyson[1] is going to produce a vacuum cleaner just for a small market like the UK.

 

 

[1] Who's so committed to the UK that he moved his company's HQ from the UK to Singapore in 2019.

Aye I did think it would be ironic that even after ditching the rule on vacuum cleaners there wouldn't be any different models on the market because they're all made to EU spec.

As for that cancelled sub deal, no biggie, France will just sue Australia for unilateral breach of contract. Won’t be the first time, nor the last. The Aussies can always (try and-) have a natter with Biden about who pays.

In news today, Australia to pay €555m to Naval Group (FR) over the breach of contract.

As I concluded there are no obvious opportunities evident so far from Brexit.

Possibly a franchise for Conwy mussels and frites,Pickled herring and smoked mackerel.

Not quite the same as Cod,chips and mushy peas on a Friday evening. 

I do like mussels though.

The whole vacuum thing is just fodder for idiots, no-one is going to make ones that breach EU spec in any volume... there's almost no market for them.

 

I have a Miele one, on full power it's actually pretty hard to drag across the floor so I doubt most folk would need anything more powerful... and then there's the increased energy usage.

 

I've never met anyone who's complained their vacuum isn't powerful enough when in good working condition... ever...

 

...file this along with "Bendy Bananas" and "Fish Pillows", entirely faux outrage, fit only for simpletons.

It is high time that the Brexiters accepted that they have won this particular battle.

 

They should also accept that the evolving ****show that accompanies their victory is of their own making.

 

Their win. Their idea. Their fault. No excuses,  no nonsense about bananas or vacuum cleaners.
