Tory's continuing to goose step their way towards fascism.

Guildford

Says it all.

The bloke in the glasses looks hungry

Just got a tweet from my local comic book shop - it's closing down due to "recent changes in the economic climate." They focused on North American publications, so I guess that makes sense.

Where will I get my Archie and Howard the Ducks from?!?

Seriously though, fucking BS. They have a shop in Richmond, so I hope no one has lost any work because of this.

Comic book pricing was already a little screwed before BrExit started, prices where going up for the imprints, and larger chains were absorbing those costs, forcing smaller ones to do the same. The drop in the pound will have killed a number of those, and the larger stores will now grab this as the reason to increase their prices, and claw back that increase that they absorbed previously.

It's only going to get harder for good independents sadly.

Ack :(

Can they move to online only, saves the shop rent?

That Christian Holliday chap seems to follow an awful lot of white supremacists on Twitter.....

I suspect that the digitisation of print and the changing consumption models has more to do with it than pure Brexit.

I'm not a comic book nerd, and subscriptions to digitized comics is a thing, but hard copy sales have gone up in recent years.

no self respecting comic book dork would be caught dead reading a digital version of... anything.

how do u evn bag a pdf?

do u evn?

Anyone else waiting expectantly for the price increases in pharmaceuticals, medical devices, medical supplies?

Doping thread >>>

Ironically all things that we could actually manufacture here.

Out of curiosity, is anyone here the bike importer guy who called AQ on R4 this weekend? I'm sure he'd been on pre-brexit as well.

Maybe not under the licensing rules?

are you talking about raygun?

because that's where my standing order lives?

Fuck!

The majority of the vote appear to be in Surrey too (according to maps, can't read well on phone).

Yeah.

They'll rebrand it as "ministry of funny walks" and claim it was a UK invention after all ;)

Will do that today..

Thought Hackney was a bit out of your way.

"If you took migrant workers out of the supply chain you would within five days have no fresh British produce on the supermarket shelves," Mr Poskitt claimed.
