Who would have thought that leaving the biggest joined domestic market would have negative repercussions regarding prices…
I’m sure Liz will fix it soon …🤣
clickbait title, most of the examples given in the survey are only 10-20%, with maybe 1 extreme to 50%
I expected a bit better from the Guardian
UK people to blame. The ones who voted to leave, the ones who didn’t vote at all, the ones who didn’t do enough to educate their friends and family members, and more importantly the politicians and rich people who pushed for Brexit knowing it was all a lit, in particular the Tories…
MISLEADING HEADLINE.
Oh look another day of the week with a Y in it and another desperate attempt by the Guardian to blame everything on Brexit.
> A British shopper pays £49.99 for a linen blend tunic dress at one of Zara’s stores in the UK, equal to €58.70 at current exchange rates. But at Zara in Germany, France, Italy and Ireland, the price is €49.95, and in Spain only €39.95.
That says to me that they charge more in markets they know people will pay more rather than it being because of Brexit. If it were because of Brexit then surely the price would be the same in all those EU countries listed?
Oh and €58.70 isn’t 150% of €49.95.
So let’s ensure the candidates talk about culture wars instead of any of this ..
You’d expect them to be higher regardless. I’d say using somewhere like France would be a better metric. Definitely true though that they are getting fucked over more by prices.
OP, why are you deleting your comments on your own submission?
Honestly, this sub needs to move on and ignore this kind of stuff.
Zara had a policy of charging more in the UK than France/Germany/Spain.
Since at least 2015.
Wonder if the guardian did any actual checking on price differentials before brexit to see if there’d been any changes or consider the possibility that companies may charge differently in different markets for a variety of reasons.
Or if they did their usual when reporting on subjects on which they are weak (finance,economics, business in general) and just went to the “oh it must be brexit” excuse
I voted remain but the Guardian doesn’t do themselves any favours with this sort of weak reporting.
Brexit, brexit, brexit… Anyone tired?
Misleading title or not. UK, you always can change your mind and come back into the EU.
