Ah the sunlit uplands...

(Even the Mail on Sunday is starting to see the reality) /cont
1. Import tariffs will be so high you won’t be able to afford a European car and unable to export British manufacturers will be teetering on the edge of bankruptcy...
2. Farmers ruined as they are on able to export their lamb. Expect a glut of lamb on the domestic market and falling prices combined with a rise in rural suicides (already higher than towns http://www.rsnonline.org.uk/can-we-help-prevent-suicide-in-rural-areas)
3. There will be long queues at European airports as passports are scrutinised more thoroughly (US style), so rather than spend half your holiday at the airport why not go to Blackpool instead. The weather might not be quite the same but at least there will be no “forriners”.
4. But don’t worry you’ll be able to buy old less efficient vacuum cleaners which use more electricity...

(Disappointed to see that vacuum cleaners will be restricted to the “old limit” of 1600 watts. Brexiters could be more ambitious here. 10,000 watts anyone?)
(A 10,000 watt cleaner would not only pick up pet hair but could hoover-up whole families of cats and dogs as well)
5. And if you can’t get French cheese at the supermarket don’t worry because they’ll be whale meat - especially imported from Japan ( https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-48592682)
6. British fisherman sell a large part of their catch to the EU because the British public tend to eat other species. So despite the promises, unless you start eating a lot more sardines, British fisherman are likely to go to business.
7. Yes, we know most under 30s can’t afford even the smallest of properties but if you’re a Tory donor its a great time to buy a second or third home - but watch out because prices are expected to fall next year as a result of Brexit!
8. Doubtless many Brexiters will be excited by the prospect of all of this “sovereignty“. However, they would be well advised not to take their Stinking Bishop out in public.
9. Tired of cheap foreign plonk. Don’t worry, this British stuff is over £21 a bottle (probably double that down the local pub).
