The fall in the value of the pound has already cost us more in
increased import costs than any net saving in EU contributions after we
leave.


What do you mean by we ?


Apple have biut prices up on teh app store by 25% for the UK but as I
havent; brought an app surely it will only cost those buying rather than
the whole country. You'll notice that they say it;s due to BREXIT but
this doesn't explain why they put the cost up by 33% in india and 30% in
Turkey is this all because of BREXIT too ?


You've missed a step. The rise in Apple's prices is becasue of the fall in
the value of sterling. This appears to be because of Brexit. For India &
Turkey, the rise is due to the fall in their currencies against the dollar.
No Brexit connection.

You might not by Apple's products, but you will probably buy other goods
made or grown abroad. These are also creeping (or jumping) up in price.

Could you explain this because I can't but that's what we're told.

So every price rise from now until teh end of time will be due to BREXIT
I guess the house price riss over the last decade are due to BREXIT too.


Since nearly all the bricks used in UK housebuilding come from The
Netherlands that might be true.

Do you really think so0?
