So is it really because of Brexit, or is it actually (again) about Brexit being used as an excuse?
Capitalists gonna capitalise...
How has Brexit actually affected you so far?

are the two things really distinct?

It's two separate words combined. So no.
It makes no difference whether it's part of the same word. If a french person was saying it, or someone who could speak french properly, then the "s" would be sounded.

If you have two words, and you remove the space, then you would carry on saying them as two words. Unless you were clinically insane, and a murderer. ESPECIALLYsince ONEof THEMis INuppercase.
Eye-nuppercase, is it? NO.
Now, I would normally feel the need to point out that I'm not taking this quite as po-facedly seriously as the written word might suggest.
But I won't, because that is what Brexit has done to me.

I'm no expert! Far as I know what's happened is that the toppest end of house prices have gone down quite significantly, which is having a knock on effect .
Also people are not buying & selling because of all the uncertainty, so there's a glut of properties for rent at the moment, meaning renters can make offers which landlords will take instead of leaving it empty.
On the other hand, maybe the currency crashing will make buying property here even more attractive to international investors, 20% off !

Yes, they are.
In this case it's about two multi-national capitalist entities attempting to compete with each other in ways favourable to them, something which happened before the Brexit vote and which will continue to happen even if/when Brexit has actually taken place.
The fact that it's being done in the context of the falling level of the pound after the Brexit vote doesn't change the basic capitalist dynamic - all economic actors try to do what's to their advantage, mostly by fucking others over, or they get fucked over themselves.

@paddypower"I can get you Marmite, son. Been collecting it for years. I knew this day would come. But it's gonna cost ya." #Marmitegate
so in other words, for capital, Unilever in this case, brexit is felt as a compelling 'reason' as well as being an 'excuse' behind which is the expression an underlying dynamic. The two seem to me to be the superficial signs of the same thing.

'when did you last taste marmite?'
Lots of people feel this way, no doubt.
