"Now I know that not everyone will be devastated to find no Pot Noodles or Marmite on the shelves in Tescos but....
Unilever also own Vaseline...
"
Vaseline for sexual purposes? Lol, that is so 1970's, it's 2016 so buy some lube instead.  |

Good on Tesco for taking a stance, as they've said Marmite is made here so why should the price increase due to Brexit and the performance of the pound.

Unilver will just be the first of many, it's got little to do with the country that their goods are manufactured in, it's down to the price of imported raw materials.....
My prediction for 2017.....Poundland to renamed £1.50 Land |

But what people are upset by is that they are wanting to put up the price of products that have no imported raw materials |

"When the pound goes up do Unilever bring prices down?"
Breaking news on sky news Unilever have now resolved it's dispute with Tesco and normal service is resumed.
Personally I'm wondering what all the fuss was about. |

Free advertising both company names on TV news and in newspapers I noticed Next were quick to say their prices were going up. |

How was it resolved?
The problem is really down to Hard Brexit. We had problems straight after the referendum due to fears of a hard brexit. That settled down when it seemed the PM was going to be sensible and moderate. Then the talk reverts to hard brexit again and everything goes batshit crazy once more.
That is because hard brexit is going to be an economic disaster.
But we know economic reasons were not a main consideration for 94% of Leave voters, though it was the primary reason those who voted Remain did so. |

There will either be no Brexit or a full fat, chaotic and financially crippling Brexit. Those are the only two options. |

Just seen on BBC news 24 headline "Hard Brexit or no Brexit for Britain" Tusk so looks like we don't get a choice. |

Earlier this year I predicted the following:
Leave would win the referendum by a narrow margin
Cameron would resign
Article 50 would get delayed
The UK economy would start to experiece pre-Brexit jitters
Camerons successor would finally admit to the British public that any kind of Brexit would crucify the UK economy and would not go ahead without a further mandate thus triggering an early election which would in effect become a EURef2 by proxy
That election would be decided on hard economic realities and the UK would remain in the EU.
My personal opinion is that it is all well and good to have principles and to vote that way, but most people are more motivated by financial security. Project Fear is slowly but surely turning into Project Reality and thetre will come a tipping point. |

You hold a personal opinion that the UK exiting the EU and single market will not have any economic consequences. Your view is shared by other people and I accept that you are entitled to your view.
Logic, simple economics, every other world and commonwealth leader, every large accountancy firm and every single credible economic observer and forecaster would suggest that you are wrong.
The pathway to the economic downturn has already started with the fall in the £GBP and next will come its close relation, inflation. The construction market is all about long term confidence and a couple of days ago it was reported that "Construction is in recession as UK economy weakens" (Daily Telegraph 12 August). We are now also seeing the stalling of those parts of the economy that rely on imports and so inevitably job losses will follow in those sectors.
The pathway to an economic downturn is inevitable, but this is just the beginning. Once A50 is triggered the UK will suffer two years of very bad economic news and a recession. It is inevitable. |

the 12th of August was a couple of days ago??
Well what about the report from The Construction Index on the 4th October which said that the latest survey of construction purchasing managers indicates a solid return to growth for UK construction activity? Or Building.co which predicts output to grow 3.6%? I don't follow opinion though, I follow facts and the facts are the economy is doing well.
Inflation has been too low for a long time and every time there has been a big drop in the pound the economy has seen a higher and sustained growth in the economy and a fall in unemployment. How do you explain that? |

You've not taken into account what is happening in the EU there. The upcoming vote on the constitution in Italy later this year could be the death Knell for the Eurozone and if the vote goes against Renzi, italian banks could go to the wall and that could trigger a domino effect throughout the EU. Brexit will be least of the worries in the EU then, devaluation of the pound will seem like nothing compared to devaluation of the Euro and it could actually be the end of the EU. If it somehow manages to survive that, there are also upcoming elections in France and Germany next year. Merkel is toast, and i think she is going to lose badly, also if Front National in France get enough support in the French election it could lead to an EU referendum in France, if France votes to Leave then the EU is finished. |

The EU is not finished and never will be. It will endure ups and downs and it will evolve. Remember that the EU is not a demagogue that sits omnipotent over-ruling all beneath it. It is a collection of currently 28 member states.
Circumstances and conditions within the member states anre bound to affect the EU and that is why it will continue to change.
Funadementally the EU is a great idea. Tying countries together in union where everyone is better together. It has its faults and it the council has for sure overstepped its mandate from time to time but that is just a reflection of the need for change.
Wanting the EU to fail is like wanting to put up barriers between nations that they dont want - so why would they do it? |

There you go 14 October (today) from the Daily Telegraph...
Building sector slows down and could even fall into recession
.... New house building slid by 1.3pc month-on-month, as private and public sector work slowed down.
Repairs and maintenance work also fell back 1.5pc.
Samuel Tombs at Pantheon Economics said the data backed up poor surveys of the industry in August, which “suggest that the construction sector has relapsed into recession”.... |

I find myself being amused by how things are developing.
6 months ago those of us who are pro EU were saying that a vote to leave the EU would be disastrous for the UK economy. We were told by the pro leave side that we did not know what we were talking about and the country would have £350 million a week to spend on public services.
The vote went the way of the leavers.
The £ dropped in value and we were told it meant nothing and was good for us. It is now at it's lowest value for 150+ years, we are being warned of food price rises of in the region of 10% in the next month or 2 (just in time for Christmas) and I am now hearing the leavers who are ahead of the curve blaming the remainers. Apparently we are talking the £ down. 
I have come to the conclusion that no matter how bad it gets the europhobes will never admit that they may have been wrong. In fact I believe that the europhobes would rather destroy our country than admit the EU is (soon to be was) really good for all of us. |

I'm not a europhobe, I love Europe and Europeans. All I'm saying is the fall in Sterling is good for exporters. That's it. Not complicated.
Not blaming anyone.
Not angry with anyone.

This nation will not only survive, but it will thrive outside the EU.
Unfortunately we are in total limbo at this moment in time. The delay in triggering article 50 isn't helping.
I understand that the government need to broker a shed load of deals before they can start the ball rolling, but not knowing all of the facts is frustrating, to say the least.
I trust that May will lead this country out of the EU, and hopefully there will be no backtracking on the single market.
I'm hoping we will find out until late Dec early Jan. Any later and I for one will start to question the integrity of this Prime Minister, let us not forget that she was pro remain until she saw the chance to take up the post.
I'm still undecided as to whether or not I trust the woman. |

We are Europeans, and so were our ancestors.
The idea that leaving the EU equates to leaving Europe is popular among the finger wagging liberals who wanted to remain.
I like to tell them that Europe wasn't created in the 1970's, and will still exist long after the EU fizzles out completely, which it will. |

I'm not sure about the government ability either. But, I think they need to be allowed to stay poker faced and play the negotiation hard, to our best benefit.
Making them show all their cards and explain PlanB and PlanC won't help our cause, as frustrating as it might be. |

It's why Labour are so shit at negotiations, Blair showed all his cards to the EU in advance and then managed to lose our rebate, seems Labour have still not learned the lessons from the past. |
