Short-term consequences include this - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016...r-with-unilev/

And these are short-term issues, which were eventually resolved by Tesco and Unilever. But what will happen in the future when bigger issues will occur, and not just Marmite?

Not having marmite is probably a very big issue for the English ;)

Tesco have since then warned that food prices are likely to rise sharply. Probably not an issue for you since you can afford to scoff, in more ways than one. You're neither British nor poor, so rises in the costs of essentials is something that you can comfortably laugh at. Just like the neolibs and 90s Russia.

No I am not Brittish (and no I am not rich), and I certainly not having fun at your expense. If you dislike neolabarism so much, why do you dislike it so much that big-companies who come up with prices that can't be competed with are in trouble? Those are what the EU cater

What stayaway theorists like yourself and the neolibs fail to realise is that poor people need to eat too. For you and the neolibs, the purity of a political idea trumps the reality of needing to tighten belts because costs of essentials are rising, costs that the rich can easily account for, but which account for a far greater proportion of a poor household's budget. Why is Putin so popular in Russia? Because of Yeltsin.

Skip the staway, the Brittish and Dutch ecomomy are way too interconnected to use such a word. I am no theorist I am a layman and but isn't an expert anything more than someone who can explain why he had it wrong? Economics aside there are other reasons to be rid of the hand in your pants. The EU has become an unacountable monster

The economies are about to become less interconnected, as you continue to have your common market, while we are about to leave, much to your pleasure. As for other reasons, I'd have thought that food on the table would be the first and overriding reason of politics, but I guess you think differently. It's easier for you to think differently after all, since you're not going to see food disappear, nor do you care if it happens to others, as long as you get to win your argument.
