Wetherspoon\u2019s Boss \u2018100% Certain\u2019 Brexit Can Mean Cheaper Food – But Can\u2019t Say If His Prices Will Drop<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m 100% sure what I\u2019m saying is true,\u201d Tim Martin tells HuffPost UK, after printing half a million beermats that tell Wetherspoon\u2019s customers Brexit can make their food and drink cheaper,\u00a0despite repeated warnings that leaving the EU will do the opposite.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf by any chance I\u2019ve got it wrong, I\u2019ve not made myself look too clever.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lots of people would say the chairman of Wetherspoon\u2019s, Britain\u2019s biggest pub chain, has not made himself look too clever.<\/p>\n

Tim Martin is ‘100% sure’ he’s right on Brexit. Just don’t ask him for a refund if he’s wrong.<\/strong>” alt=”Tim Martin is ‘100% sure’ he’s right on Brexit. Just don’t ask him for a refund if he’s wrong.<\/strong>” data-credit=”PA Archive\/PA Images” data-portal-copyright=”PA Archive\/PA Images” data-provider=”pressassociation” data-provider-asset-id=”2.24206391″ data-has-syndication-rights=”false”><\/p>\n

The chairman of Sainsbury\u2019s, David Taylor,\u00a0the British Retail Consortium<\/a>\u00a0and former Deputy Prime Minister\u00a0Nick Clegg<\/a>\u00a0have warned Brexit without an EU trade deal will drive up food prices. Clegg said leaving the EU without a deal would mean a 22% tariff on food from the EU.<\/p>\n

Undeterred, Martin has printed his beermats for people to read as they down cheap pints at 895 Wetherspoon\u2019s pubs across the country.<\/p>\n

The mats say prices will fall – if only politicians had the sense to \u201cstop messing about\u201d and follow The Wetherspoon\u2019s Manifesto<\/a>: Quit the EU without a transitional deal and use the freedom of World Trade Organisation rules to abolish tariffs our EU membership obliges us to charge on food imports from outside the bloc.<\/p>\n

The rules let you do this, he says, so long as you don\u2019t discriminate, so his vision would mean the abolition of food tariffs from in and outside the EU.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

The Wetherspoon\u2019s boss thinks axing the tariffs would take 3.5p off each meal served in the chain and 0.5p off each drink.<\/p>\n

The avuncular, staunch Brexiteer, who grew his empire from a single pub in 1979 to the huge chain it is now, has been a colourful voice in favour of Brexit.<\/p>\n

His chain is such a national institution that a scathing Sunday Times review of one of its newest pubs last weekend\u00a0caused an uproar and discussion about the role cheap pubs plays in a time of poverty<\/a>.\u00a0The review called Martin \u201ca multimillionaire Leave donor who\u2019s now complaining he can\u2019t get the staff\u201d.<\/p>\n

This is the second time Martin has pulled the beermat stunt. Before the referendum, he put out ones posing a series of questions doubting the future of the Euro, and urging people to vote Leave.<\/p>\n

Announcing the latest beermats in a press release<\/a>, he said people like Clegg and Taylor were part of \u201ca coordinated campaign to dupe the public\u201d.<\/p>\n

One reason he is so confident is his claim that he has not been contradicted, despite being challenged by Andrew Neil on BBC One\u2019s This Week in September. He also set out his views in an article last month headlined: \u201cProject Fear has morphed into Project Stupid.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

\n
<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Speaking to HuffPost by phone, Martin says his claims have already circulated widely within his trade, who are \u201cmostly Remainers\u201d and he has had not had any reproach, \u201cnor will I\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I\u2019ve said, I\u2019m certain it\u2019s true… I said it on television… I contradicted Andrew Neil and not one person has come back and said \u2018no, no, you\u2019ve got that wrong Tim\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

Conventional wisdom about Brexit\u2019s impact on food prices seems to trouble Martin. He insists there would be no need for extra custom checks, which would make food more expensive.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The fall in the pound\u2019s value, which has already fuelled inflation since the vote, also doesn\u2019t faze him and he says its affect on food is \u201calmost negligible\u201d.<\/p>\n

He is more certain than anyone else in the debate, it seems.\u00a0Revered think tank the Institute of Fiscal Studies (IFS) does not share his confidence. It said in July that\u00a0Brexit\u2019s impact on food prices was \u201chighly uncertain\u201d<\/a>.<\/p>\n

LSE economist Thomas Sampson viewed Martin\u2019s press release and told HuffPost it had a \u201cpartial truth\u201d, as axing the tariffs would make food cheaper but only cheaper than if Britain left the EU and kept them.<\/p>\n

Sampson said: \u201cAre food prices lower following Brexit than if we hadn\u2019t voted to leave the EU? That\u2019s where the claim has less to back it up.\u201d<\/p>\n

‘Parliament can and should lower food prices and save huge sums’  – the slogan on one of the beer mats.<\/strong>” alt=”‘Parliament can and should lower food prices and save huge sums’  – the slogan on one of the beer mats.<\/strong>” data-credit=”JD Wetherspoon” data-portal-copyright=”JD Wetherspoon” data-provider=”Other” data-provider-asset-id=”205831028″ data-has-syndication-rights=”false”><\/p>\n

So will Martin put his money where his mouth is? If he is wrong, will he commit to not raising his prices, so as to not pass the cost of Brexit onto his customers?<\/p>\n

\u201cSince food tariffs will drop by definition, food prices will drop, but I suppose you could say, in a slightly legalistic way, it wouldn\u2019t necessarily follow through into the shops,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

\u201cCertainly I\u2019m prepared to put my money where my mouth is and guarantee to keep our prices very low. It\u2019s a bit vague but that\u2019s about the best I can say.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked if he was sure there was no firmer commitment he could make, he said: \u201cWhat I\u2019m saying is factually correct. That\u2019s the issue, so I can\u2019t see how I could be proved wrong.<\/p>\n

\u201cI could offer some sort of penance. \u2018If I\u2019m wrong I\u2019ll sell a pound a pint for a year\u2019 or something but I can\u2019t think what I can actually say because Brexit doesn\u2019t occur until March 2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

He adds: \u201cI\u2019m absolutely confident in what I\u2019m saying.\u00a0Someone else can come and say I\u2019m wrong, can\u2019t they? No one has said that and it\u2019s been fairly widely published.\u201d<\/p>\n

As the topic of penance is probed further, Martin jokes about publishing a photo of himself wearing a dunce\u2019s hat in Wetherspoon News, the free magazine given to customers.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m trying to help you,\u201d he adds apologetically. \u201cNot sure what I can say…\u00a0That\u2019s a tongue-in-cheek comment. The best I can say.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s 18 months down the line, that\u2019s almost impossible to make a commitment.\u00a0If I was wrong, you would\u2019ve found out by now.\u201d<\/p>\n

He may be unable to commit to what he\u2019ll do if he\u2019s wrong but his commitment to being right, if anything, only increases. He repeats it boils down to the fact that, if the Government axes the tariffs, food will be cheaper.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the Government adopts a sensible policy, food will be cheaper than if we\u2019d stayed in the EU.\u201d Is he still 100% sure?<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m 100% sure of that,\u201d he says.\u00a0\u201cIf the Government bangs on huge taxes, it won\u2019t be cheaper. If they adopt a free trade route, I\u2019m 100% certain food will be cheaper.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we can\u2019t say is what might happen in the next 18 months. If the Government whacks on a mass of other taxes…\u00a0It\u2019s very difficult for me to say anything sensible or realistic.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is beginning to sound as if it\u2019s impossible to prove Martin wrong. He keeps repeating the equation that if tariffs go, food will be cheaper. \u201cThat\u2019s a definite. That\u2019s axiomatic. It\u2019s not a question I can be wrong on that. On that particular point I can\u2019t be wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n

But, I say, he is telling me food will be cheaper than if we voted Remain, which is a much broader claim than simply whether we retain tariffs after leaving the EU.<\/p>\n

I suggest there that maybe there are too many hypotheticals but ask, if prices rise, is there anything firm he can commit his chain to doing?<\/p>\n

\u201cI just can\u2019t see how I can say anything that makes any sense at all,\u201d he says. \u201cNo one running a business can say. It\u2019s a weird question… It\u2019s like saying \u2018if the Government drops alcohol tax on beer, what can you offer?\u2019 What could I offer?\u201d<\/p>\n

So Martin is sure Brexit can make food cheaper. He\u2019s just not so sure his customers, who can read about how on their beermats, will get to reap the benefits of it.<\/p>\n
