Today the company I work for (only a small organisation), found out for
sure that a major contract is not going to be awarded for some time yet,
if ever. (No competition. Previous work just what customer
wanted/needed. Price not a problem.) Reason: Brexit.

We have also almost certainly lost out on the biggest contract we would
ever be likely to achieve. Albeit, our chances of winning the contract
were not as good as above - more of a flyer, kick ourselves if we don't
go for it. Reason: Brexit.

I suspect quite a few companies hoping for government orders might have
a very long period of waiting.

What an extremely narrow perspective!

Does the odd companygoing to the wall matter now that the NHS is
rolling in cash and Brit's can once more poke Europe in the eye by
legally buying bent bananas in pennyweights.

Anyway, Boris & Nige may have chickened out and done a runner, but at

We do not, in general, export because of the nature of our business.

When the customer says that they have been told to spend nothing that
isn't immediately essential, negotiating skills are rather at the
irrelevant end of the scale. It is not as if another company has got the
contract. Without good negotiating skills we would not have had ou
earlier contracts with this customer.

Well it does seem illogical, as to waste time in this way will not only
increase the cost if they ever do need whatever it is, and also of course
the very companies offering it mightgo out of business so then they won't
get it anyway.

I just do not see why all this jittering is going on. Is it just fear of the
unknown. The way things are going we could all find ourselves not leaving
after all soon in anycase.
Incidentally if it only takes a few days to whittle down the possible
leaders to three, how come it will take a whole month and a half merely to
get a vote from the party members? Do they not use some kind of secure web
form for this, after all the Gov are always trying to tell us we need to get
up to date and fill in our forms on line.

Exporters will obviously win as the pound sags, you watch.

And the ones likely to lose the most

The real poor, those whose entire income
is benefits, wont be affect at all and will
have more choice on where to live because
fewer of the dregs of the EU will show up
with their brats and get a council house etc.

And the next level up who do actually work
in the worst of the jobs that don’t pay any
more than they would get on benefits don’t
have to compete with the dregs of the EU
for those jobs who can't put their hands out
for benefits and so are much more included
to do what the boss wants them to do so
they don’t lose that job.

They wont even see much effect on the price
of their fast food or ready meals either given
that the price of the ingredients used to make
those has **** all effect on the retail price of
those and because Britain is now free to import
the cheapest food ingredients it can find anywhere
in the world without paying any duty/tariff on that.

So, roughly paraphrased, you'd sell your soul to the devil for a gig?

Some of us voted on principle, not immediate gain.

The problem being that we are going to get neither.


Your problem being, you are prone to utter meaningless statements with
great gravitas.

So you're going to personally re-imburse anyone who
loses their job, or is faced with higher food costs
as a result of your principled stand are you ?

Is it that sort of principle you're talking about ?

You see taking a principled stand when that person
is likely to be the only one to suffer is indeed
a highly commendable act.


With the alternative being "spineless short termist greedy selfish
weasel", then yes.

That is all...

That is indeed a problem - although how much we aren't going to get
remains to be seen.

The pessimists assume the EU holds all the cards (they do in some
senses, like financial services).

The optimists assume we hold all the cards (in other senses we certainly
have some - people are still going to want us to buy their exports).

The reality is going to so much depend on the skill of the next PM and
how well she (or maybe he) can assemble a team and how big their balls
are, coupled with their diplomatic skills.
