  1. There’s a Guy Fawkes cartoon or joke in here somewhere.

    After Brexit, what did Guy Fawkes say to the Tory leader after blowing up Parliament?

  2. > Cost of labour in Britain up by 30% since referendum

    Doesn’t that imply wages have risen which is a good thing? Isn’t wage suppression of the working class one the big things against the EU, the main reason the left are as against the EU as much as the right?

  3. So price gauging and corruption are only a problem when it affects businesses? Got it.

    Many people in the UK been suffering from “rising” costs that are (For some unknown reason) way higher than the EU such as gas prices but god forbid it impacts company profits.

  4. If only there were experts who knew what they were talking about that warned us about the negative effects of Brexit… oh wait, they did.

    Those who voted to leave brought it on yourselves, and made those that wanted to remain suffer because of your misapprehensions.

  5. I’m employed by a big engineering consultancy and have spent the last couple of years working on a couple of major Highways infrastructure projects that were both design complete and ready to start construction at the end of last year. Both have been pretty much shelved because the contractor was already pretty squeezed on the original price and there’s no way they’re willing to absorb the inflation in construction costs, while the government is still pressing them to find more savings.
