Aldi and Lidl sell a lot of branded products on essentials lines like tea bags and bread.
they sell some but hardly any - aldi anyway as I dont go to Lidl - not snobbery its just not near where i live.
Hang on a minute?
This doesn't mean that there could potentially be a trade tariff on Aldi Bratwurst, does it?

GREGGS is a proudly owned UK company that Remoaners like you are doing down with your endless negativity
Its your patriotic duty to eat them and eat them often and in plenty
Do it for Britain eat more pastries.
This is my first time back to the UK since the referendum and things have changed.... People have change. Friends, family, pub locals with whom I have previously enjoyed passing the time of day I no longer feel much inclined to sit in the same room with.
It is as if people feel that their latent racist & xenophobic views have been legitimised.
There is also a case of "I'm alright, Jack" when you speak to the older generation about the potential increase in the cost of living, the loss of jobs and the lack of opportunities.
The GF said something interesting the other day.... She always had the feeling that the British were overly confident. An attitude that we are better,smarter than everyone else. I think our jingoism is about to hit us hard.
Interestingly you don't see other nations politicians telling the proletariat how great they are (great British business, hardworking British families, etc). It's almost as if we need reassuring the whole time.
It's quite strange.
N Surgeon has been the one politician standing out from this mess at the very beginning.
And why was that? Because she's got far more electoral security than any other politican, by miles. So she can afford principles. Plus that's the SNP's schtick anyway. Having principles is fine until you aren't winning then it becomes a liability. Just ask Corbyn.
Re Unilever - according to my Mrs just now Marmite is made in the UK then exported to the EU and re-imported back again. Hence currency exposure.

I also think being an island nation - inselaffen- means we are naturally less "european" and more isolationist that countries who can just nip over the border for lunch
How many Brits say they are off the Europe for example?

are we sure its not just some sort of cannabis induced psychosis ? 🙂
Sturgeon is playing a difficult balancing game. A significant section of her support want another referendum now. She is by nature cautious tho and does not want to call one unless the polls are 60%+ as she knows she will never get another chance. There will be anopther vote and timing is key. It needs to be not much later than triggering article 50
She is running a basically cautious and competent government which in this day and age is a real plus.
Some interesting side issues. 1/3 of SNP support voted out of the EU. A significant number of SNP voters voted NO in the independence referendum. anecdotally there does seem to be a large number of previous No voters now switching to yes after the EU referendum but this is not reflected in the polls
Sturgeon has got to reconcile these and more before she can be confident of winning an independence referendum
Personally I am surprised the EU vote did not lead to a significant swing on independence
JunkyardHow many Brits say they are off the Europe for example?
wot? if i understood the question i could possibly give you an answer.... 😉
indeed.
one bloke down the pub spoke of returning the country to the prosperity he knew as a kid. he moved tables after i mentioned that that prosperity was based on goods imported from countries were Britain was dictating the price it paid for those goods.
he moved tables.
Seriously considering a move to Scotland.
I'm guessing this will blow over but leaving the EU will have economic repercussions in the short term, it may work out for the better in the longer term but that's probably 20+ years away.
One obvious thing is that there is always someone somewhere making money out of these type of things, the recent drop in the pound will be totally devastating to some companies for others it's likely to be a bonus.
The real winners as always are the bankers and financial institutions that thrive/drive their greed with economic uncertainty!
All IMHO of course 🙂

Re Unilever - according to my Mrs just now Marmite is made in the UK then exported to the EU and re-imported back again. Hence currency exposure.
No - this is transfer pricing using trade routes that have likely been structured to specifically avoid recognising revenue where one would expect / avoid tax. If that's the case then the only reason Unilever have raised the price of Marmite (produced in the UK with UK supplied commodities) is because they have structured their operations to avoid tax.

ive been off weed for 6 years, i hardly miss it now,
Maybe Big and Daft but for most folk thats not that big a factor IMO. Oil or no oil there is no reason why Scotland could not be a prosperous nation
another bloke down the pub found it interesting when i told him that i lived in Germany.
bloke down pub: "bet you're pleased about Brexit then"
me: "why?"
bdp: "showing them that they don't rule over us"
me: "but i live there.... they kinda do rule over me"
bpd "hmmm... yeah"
island monkeys....
schadenfreude....
😳How many Brits say they are off the Europe for example?
How many Brits say they are off to Europe on holiday- it indicates our isolationism or separatism from Europe as clearly we are [geographically] within Europe but still consider it seperate

I don't remember too many people happily carrying about £500 pocket computers when I was a kid.
Talking with my German partner this morning. What does the jury think? Will everyone in the UK have to replace their EU Citizen Passports in order to travel after we leave in 2019? If so it is going to be an expensive pain for anyone having to renew theirs in the next 2 years or so.
My mum was telling me she voted to leave the EU cos of uncontrolled immigration of 'the ****s'
I said ****stan wasn't in Europe but....
She also told me she found a snail without its shell. A slug? says I. What is a slug? says she.
It will be interesting to see how the SNP propose to meet the funding deficit 14 + billion PA is a lot to find from a relatively small population.
Whilst oil revenues may increase now that opec / Russia have realised that they are going to have to work together, the high prices of 2+ years ago are unlikely to return in the for many years.

especially as there are no big oil fields left to find off scotland (probably) and the infrastructure to extract it is in need of a lot of investment
[b]IF[/b] they could get Indy and get past Spain's veto to get into the EU then theyd have to start persuading Nissan etc to start relocating their factories North of the Border, rather than to Europe as they flee a hard brexit.
Scientific research would probably get a huge boost from EU funding
From Sturgeons speech
"So I can confirm today that the independence referendum bill will be published for consultation next week.
You know, there’s not a day that passes just now without someone advising me to hurry up with a referendum.
And there’s not a day that passes without someone advising me to slow down.
Welcome to my world.
But the responsibility of leadership is to act in the best interests of our country as a whole.
The morning after the EU referendum, I said that I’d be guided at all times by a simple, clear test.
What is best for the people of Scotland?
That’s the principle that I will continue to be guided by - and I know I can on your support every step of the way. "

This one is a lot heavier on the facts and a lot less 'lets cut off our nose to spite our face'

Easily identifiable as a British passport so probably not, they will just have any entitlement revoked and replaced through natural wastage.

Probably written by someone who can see that Unilever raising prices to avoid paying tax on stuff produced in the UK, then exported and then reimported back to the UK (likely without any movement of the physical goods) is just part of a bigger picture of jobs and factories and profit all being moved offshore for the benefit of international finance. Unilever make it here and sell it here - the fact they reportedly muck about with transfer pricing to avoid tax on the profit they make here is easily resolved.
Will Young is taking the whole Marmite thing pretty hard

I'm going to buy a red cover with the eu stars on it to cover my blue passport just to **** nigel off.
When I hear EU leaders taking this type of stance I too want a hard brexit. Get it done and let's move forward. Threatening rhetoric from EU leaders does not help matters.[b]But what has caused me to harden my view - somewhat - is the open intimidation by a number of EU political leaders. "There must be a threat," said French president Francois Hollande. "There must be a price... otherwise other countries or other parties will want to leave the European Union."[/b]

exactly lets tell the Kippers and Government that, no point running in making stupid demands.
Of course there will be a ****ing price, you pay to play you can't have the same shit for free. That's not how the real world works.

you are 'Deluded' David Davies and I claim my [s]£5[/s] £4.25
Since when did facts become threats?Threatening rhetoric from EU leaders does not help matters.
Ist there club we cannot leave, not pay, not adhere to the rules and then expect a sweetheart deal
That is not a threat its just popping the bubble of delusion though of course you can still blame them for explaining the threat that to be in a club you need to follow the rules
so need a gif of falling pound prices for that kimbers...
the real point is people think the Eu is being all like demanding and stuff but like all I was doing like was borrowing all their stuff like and it was all OK like and they never said nufin like but it was all cool and like and now when I've stopped paying rent I can't live there like and I can't use the cooker like and it's so unfair like init
See I don't see that as "threatening rhetoric" at all. It's just a statement of fact.
If the UK leaves the EU, but is then allowed to continue to enjoy all the benefits of the EU without any of the apparent downsides, then there will be a stampede of other countries following us.
It'd be like finding out that you don't need the £5 Member's Card at Go Outdoors because you get exactly the same prices and benefits without it. Why would you bother buying the card?
Edit: Also, what mike says 😀

No really. Who says narcissism can't wear a skirt.
Hollande above is simply starting the bleeding obvious. Of course if you stick to facts - better together, remain, cuckoos etc - you run the risk of further alienating the indoctrinated. In the world of post truth politics, the BSes know how to manipulate this situation perfectly. Tell the Scots the truth and you are a Westminster bully, promise them the world for ever and you are a heroin(e)
