Ask your self why UKIP was on the rise and he felt the need to rescue the Tory party from them ! Because the vast majority of uk people want the uk out of the Eu for better or worse they want out, get over it and get behind it or shut the fuk up.

Remind me how many MP's did UKIP get? In the end it was all just a grand illusion agitated no doubt by the ERG .

Born ready and tired waiting. Farmers have lost a fortune through the uncertainty .
On the contrary, farmers have done quite well out of the uncertainty, because the Pound has been substantially devalued. Yes, costs have risen, but it could get much much worse than this.
A big milk buyer has just warned that if a no-deal Brexit happens, they will pay only 16ppl from November1st. For those that are unaware, many large farms have a cost of production of around 27ppl and upwards. So at 16ppl, a million litre herd will be running at around -£100,000 a year profit. That much loss. In real money.

Let's hope he gets a deal through, because how do you plan for that much loss ongoing? How do these farms hope to stay afloat and survive with anything like that price?

I still remember the Kung fu kick on the West Ham fan. I was having a quiet pint watching Monday night football in the pub.
It was good and

Why the hell would they only pay 16p ? According to all you doom merchants nothing will get into the UK for months due to issues at ports so they would need every litre they can get hold of and if milk proucts are short prices will rise, you really do fall for some bull at times. I note you havent replied to my post last week despite me tagging you twice about it, funny how you dont reply when the truth is pointed out.

The dairy processors’ price indication may have something to do with the tariffs, as recently confirmed by Boris’s Buddies.....

The tariffs on cheddar & butter don’t look conducive to their businesses returning a profit without a very cheap source of milk:

NFU publication , that should cost them a few members . hopefully

No, it’s just a useful infographic produced by them, which illustrates the actual tariffs confirmed by ‘our’ leaders in Westminster. Those rates are facts, not made up to suit any agenda.

Of course, ostriches may feel free to ignore such details, and shout ‘project fear’ from the rooftops, again.?

Because N. Irish milk will flood the UK for one. All exports will be subject to a massive tariff and this particular dairy more than most, relies on exports. Imports are, according to the tariff documents published so far, subject to relatively little tariff.
What tags are these? I've been way for a few days. Not going back to historic posts as there are not enough hours in a day.

Part of me wishes that we would just jump out with no deal just to see these ostriches in financial distress and just to see who or what they would then blame.
