Well, how about you think for a moment: How would it in the first place?

2018-08-14 20:33:18 UTC  

I honestly have no idea, I know nothing about international trade

2018-08-14 20:33:20 UTC  

Almost as stupid as that sandwich argument I keep seeing.

2018-08-14 20:33:22 UTC  

This is where I need to start

2018-08-14 20:33:41 UTC  

I'm not putting forward an argument, I'm seeking to learn

2018-08-14 20:33:59 UTC  

International trade always finds a way.

2018-08-14 20:34:19 UTC  

Maybe it will go up in price just a bit? Maybe it'll be even cheaper?

2018-08-14 20:34:39 UTC  

Supply though? Nah, it'll be fine.

2018-08-14 20:34:57 UTC  

Are you saying that noone knows?

2018-08-14 20:35:29 UTC  

And furnishing myself with knowledge about how these imports happen will bring me no closer to an answer?

2018-08-14 20:35:32 UTC  

I'm saying that I don't know the market price of insulin in Europe vs the US, or the import duties on medical supplies

2018-08-14 20:35:52 UTC  

But supply will not be affected

2018-08-14 20:36:03 UTC  

lol. Just you wait. Scandanavia will Balkanise

2018-08-14 20:37:00 UTC  

Right Bossack, but with all due respect, I wasn't asking if you knew. I was asking if anyone here could point me in the direction of somewhere that could teach me the relevent information

2018-08-14 20:37:16 UTC  

@DecadeUK And I'm saying, it's a stupid question

2018-08-14 20:37:37 UTC  

What, is Brexit going to make a giant chain appear outside of your ports?

2018-08-14 20:37:46 UTC  

'Balkanise', Aka divide into nation states through conflict like Bosnian-Slovak war

2018-08-14 20:38:04 UTC  

Will there be destroyers preventing shipping traffic from reaching the UK?

2018-08-14 20:38:14 UTC  

we have a eurotunnel

2018-08-14 20:38:55 UTC  

Again, you're making assumptions about my position! All I'm asking for is to be pointed toward a repository of knowledge on the subject.

2018-08-14 20:39:05 UTC  

There was no hostility intended, i'm on a mission to learn

2018-08-14 20:39:17 UTC  

Alright, dude. Make a decision about a nonsense topic, w/e

2018-08-14 20:40:08 UTC  

People saying that leaving the EU will lead to shortages of products are fear mongering. That's not how trade works AT ALL

2018-08-14 20:41:20 UTC  

Of course, I'm not disputing that. I just want to read up on the intricacies of the system myself, without a pro remain/leave bias that seems to be colouring every article i've found

2018-08-14 20:41:22 UTC  

Insulin is a rescource of mortal importance, it would be severely negative if the EU compromise their own citizen's safety and the safety of their allies through political neglegence. Trade deals will be made independantly.

2018-08-14 20:41:59 UTC  

@DecadeUK You won't find that, because the pro/con argument you're asking for is itself a biased position from ignorance.

2018-08-14 20:42:20 UTC  

you're still not hearing me bro, maybe i'm doing a shitty job of explaining myself

2018-08-14 20:42:21 UTC  

stand by

2018-08-14 20:42:29 UTC  

No, I get what you're saying

2018-08-14 20:43:15 UTC  

Its like asking "Will Brexit affect the supply of milk?"

2018-08-14 20:43:38 UTC  

It doesn't affect the SUPPLY of anything

2018-08-14 20:43:52 UTC  

i dont see that working, we have the facilities to make our own milk

2018-08-14 20:43:52 UTC  

It affects the *price*

2018-08-14 20:44:15 UTC  

no insulin is manufactured within the uk

2018-08-14 20:44:27 UTC  

except for a tiny factory in wrexham which i think has something more to do with animals

2018-08-14 20:44:44 UTC  

we have cows bro

2018-08-14 20:45:05 UTC  

And? Are there gestapo that will destroy insulin trucks before entering the UK?

2018-08-14 20:45:47 UTC  

i'm just pointing out your analogy isn't fair

2018-08-14 20:46:04 UTC  

if there were gestapo stationed at dover, we'd still be able to have milk

2018-08-14 20:46:23 UTC  

I'm pointing out that your question is biased. It assumes that trade deals affect the supply of products.

2018-08-14 20:47:20 UTC  

I thought my question was pretty neutral? "Where can i learn how brexit will or WILL NOT affect imports of insulin?"
