Hahahahahahaha we'll be what we've always been cogs in the corporate machine. We will however be rid of one form of corporate influence, and have replaced it with a different one, admittedly one which we could technically have more influence over (but the state will always represent the interests of business over those of the people).

Originally posted by Hoof Hearted At least now we can employ British workers to dig said hole rather than having Polish workers. Actually there is no guarantee of that. An exit from the EU doesn't mean that migrant workers will cease to be employed. It just means the UK government has the option to not adhere to the Freedom of Movement. It doesn't mean it won't introduce a system of its own, just that it doesn't have to. Freedom of movement is on the UK statutes until its revoked. Just leaving the EU doesn't mean that all of its rulings that the UK has adopted will cease to be, and the UK was employing migrant workers and immigration to support work demands long before the EU. There are no manifestos to which government can be held in regards to the EU exit. Effectively the government is in a position of being able to effectively 'negotiate and determine an exit' irrespective of a UK mandate.

This whole Marmite thing is very confusing. Is it a bread and butter product of Tesco or part of a spread of similar products over the stores. Whatever the reasoning it tends to leave a bad taste in your mouth Bring back Brolin

Another thing for the Bremoaners to whine about. I am still looking forward to the date that we sever our ties with a corrupt and dieing union and embrace the opportunities in the wider World. We must develop links with India. Nigeria is about to displace South Africa as the largest economy in the continent and we should be there to capitalise on this. We can strengthen our ties with Canada, Australia and New Zealand. I just don't understand how people cannot see this as a massive opportunity. Maybe it is because my business is predominately from countries outside of the EU but it is exciting to think we could be truly open to trade with growing economies rather than tieing our long term economics to a declining, and small, bloc of countries.

I've known people who've worked for both companies and heard stories about clashes between their negotiators. Unilevers products cost next to nothing to manufacture per unit, but the set up and marketing is colossal. Prices for some of there products are fixed (by the EU) where they are market leader so they can't profiteer too much. Tesco's have always played ultra hardball with their suppliers. At the end of the day it's only marmite, and the only people who will care are the ones that moaned about not being able to buy irregular shaped fruit and veg (which they wouldn't buy anyway)
