Re: As Soon As They Could...

You cannot prove a negative, so your entire argument is flawed.

You are positing that roaming laws caused price rises, and then say you cannot DIS-prove your own conjured assertion.

Have you got proof there aren't purple coloured people with rainbow coloured noses caused by Brexit?

This is a well documented logical fallacy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proving_a_negative

I'm terribly unsurprised a Brexiter uses it.

The obvious thing to look are price rises, which did not exceed inflation.

"Russell's teapot is an analogy, formulated by the philosopher Bertrand Russell (1872–1970), to illustrate that the philosophic burden of proof lies upon a person making unfalsifiable claims, rather than shifting the burden of disproof to others."

So dear Brexiter the burden is on you to prove your claim.
