AKA "experts"? Event the financial services providers are now
finding they can still do business in the EU without this

Yet more leaver lies. Of course we still have access to the EU,
we are still in the EU incase you hadn't noticed. We can still
trade with the EU after we leave too. However the EU will prefer
to trade with other members before they will trade with us so
while we may be able to it doesn't mean we will. However if the
GBP falls much more the EU will be able to buy up all the UK
companies and do what it likes unless china does so first.
GBP falling is a result of B o E idiots reducing interest
rates and printing money to fulfil their forecasts. Carney must go.
On the other hand export orders are up, business is booming, house
building hasn't crashed, unemployment is down.
but, did you know that 85% of the imported clay used for bricks
Šomes from the EU, as do a large quantity of bricks, to judge by the
wrappings on ones at local building sites.
How much clay is that? Most round here are London clay. Makes
extremely soft bricks which spall badly.
the article, in today's Times, doesn't say but simply says Brexit could
have a major impact onhouse building. Apparently there's already a
serious shortage of bricks.
Interesting, because not too long ago brickworks were being mothballed.
Forterra, formerly known as Hanson, closed their two sites & quarries in
Lancashire from 2010 to 2014. In 2015 they restarted production, & soon
after they closed /again/ & AFAIK they are still closed.
Interestingly I saw one of theri lorries today and got the impression that
the company was no longer a British one.
