Reopen Brexit Deal

Bollocks!

"We know what we voted for"

Why would the Brexiteers want to revisit this?

Surely the "World Beating" deal along with sovereignty and the chance to rebuild the Empire has been achieved.

Without trying to put words into the mouths of those who voted to leave the EU, I would assume that the less the UK had to do with the EU, the happier they would be.

So what if businesses in the EU have found other companies to replace items that the UK previously supplied, what does it matter that exports to the EU are in trouble?

The opportunities with the trade deals to Japan, Australia etc. are there to more than make up for short term losses - or so the Brexit mantra would have us all believe.

New jobs have been created to more than make up for businesses that have moved their base to the EU and unemployment is still relatively low in comparison to other similar countries in the EU so surely the UK is in a strong position?

Where does the BBC dredge up this rubbish?

Brexit negotiations will never end.

For some people the energy being wasted on attempting to stay “distant” and “better” is seemingly preferable than having a fixed set of rules that everyone adheres to.

As another poster said on another thread, this nonsense will likely continue for years until people simply tire of Brexit not being done and continuous “fury” and “outrage” stories in the paper. At that time we will likely settle into some kind of existing trading framework that already exists (EEA).

Brexit as a concept was understandable.

However the delivery has been an absolute farce, littered with lies, half-truths and incompetence.

Whilst any agreement is full of pros and cons, we seem to be stumbling into a con at every turn.

Inevitable though. There was never going to be a deal as good as being in the EU.

"Brexit as a concept was understandable."

The problem was that everyone understood something different. It wasn't a choice of option A vs option B. It was a choice of option A, which we know changes slowly and the best option B that you can imagine in the best of all possible worlds.

Campaigning against all the option Bs was impossible.

Not littered with lies but the deal was not a good one and hopefully will change ver the years.

The problem I believe was trying to keep the promise of the deadline when we leave this need to be more flexible to get the right deal whatever that is.

No lies where made just statements of intent that have not yet been delivered and might not be for years due to covid

Of course there wasn't. Not with the EU. That was obvious to the majority. I don't think the majority had a problem trading with the EU. It's just all the other crap that went with it!

Your assumption that people who voted for brexit wanted less to do with Europe is wrong. They just don't want to be in the EU club which is not the same thing at all. We still trade with Europe just not as a member state. People on here often say we have lost all trade with Europe in favour of other regions where in reality we still trade with Europe just in a different way. Looking at the graphs on the BBC the imports and exports have dropped under covid understandably. The gap between the two is much the same, if anything the gap has narrowed though not easy to say until restrictions are lifted here and in Europe

If the UK govt gets their way, Brexit will be never ending. It's of too much value to point to bullying Brussels bureaucrats stopping the UK achieve full potential. Welcome to the eternal Brexit. And the other thing that has to pointed out, Brexit is an entirely self inflicted wound. It didn't have to be like this but here we are.

The UK saw much, much more damage both to its imports and to its exports than any of the EU's other main trading partners did.

The UK has one of the worst trading deficits with the EU over the last year. This is in comparison with all the main trading partners with only the US being worse. The UK is down about €23billion.

After this is Switzerland at €6.6bn, Turkey at €0.8bn, and the rest apart from China and Russia coming out about even.

Both Russia and China saw increased trade with tue EU.

These figures take Covid out of the equation and show the Brexit impact.

What a lot of moaning nonsense. We have Brussels right where we want them, on the retreat facing multiple rebellions.

Nobody in these threads ever gives any concrete evidence of how they personally have been negatively affected by Brexit.

So the deadline was the issue? Why vote Tory then, you knew it was whatever was negotiated by the 31st of Dec 2020, deal or no deal.

If you voted Tory, you are responsible for enabling it.

Good to find agreement that were worse off out of the EU.

As for the "other crap", every single person has problems with the EU. Those problems still exist, we still contribute to them and the EU decisions impact the UK.

So we are worse off, and don't have a say in these decisions.

All for some meaningless rhetoric.

Maybe because they aren't a member of the "I'm alright Jack" squad and don't have to personally be affected to highlite that many many people are being negatively affected by Brexit.

I've always voted on the lines of what or who I think will benefit the country as a whole, not just me personally.

As said we still trade with Europe but just on different terms.What was the trade deficit when we were full EU members?

If the reductions is all about brexit as you say what will the improvements be down too? Cant be covid recovery as you say thats already factored in.

The figures I quoted are trade with the EU and show the comparison with the major trading trading partners of the EU.

For the UK figures to improve they would have to export more with the EU and import less.

The UK must (and is) look elsewhere to make up this deficit.

To make it up with the EU would be more costly than when the UK was part of the EU so it would defeat the purpose of leaving.

Only time will tell but the trading deficit is not due to Covid which was my point.

Those 10% employ a lot of people. So fuck them I'm alright Jack!

The U.K. had the biggest micro online business exporting in Europe by a country mile. That is now disappearing fast. So instead of growing they are shrinking. So at both ends of the spectrum business is losing.

I never once thought we'd get any benefits. Why would we? We wanted to leave.

I stopped paying my golf club membership a few years back because I didn't have time to use the benefits it offered, at no point did I think I would still be entitled to those benefits without paying again.

This is an excellent example of how powerful the anti-EU propaganda has been for the last couple of decades.

The government has successfully pushed the blame for everything that's wrong is in the country into the EU.

On a side note we've left and they're still blaming the EU, or remainers, and people are still buying it. It's unbelievable really.

the uk has not started imposing rules on imports from the EU yet, I think the government is frightened of causing shortages & increased prices in the shops . Until the UK starts to bounce a few lorries coming in the EU will continue to take the piss.

I understand the figures you quote and that you say they are purely down to brexit. As said that means if the figures improve it cannot be due to covid recovery based on what you have said. The gap between imports and exports is closer than it used to be. As others here have said the imports are not being held up like the exports so the true gap would be even closer.

"I love the fact that people thought they would get all the benefits of being in the club without being a member of the club…. Awww and then complained when they didn’t in essence get their cake and eat it…. Bless! "

I have not read of anyone on here that claimed that.

"What a lot of moaning nonsense. We have Brussels right where we want them, on the retreat facing multiple rebellions.

Nobody in these threads ever gives any concrete evidence of how they personally have been negatively affected by Brexit.

I have repeatedly so please stop saying that Chris. "

I do include you in that, I’ve read many times your minor paperwork complaints. Far as I can see

A) you’re being kept busy, which is good. Busy is good from a job point of view

B) you have a job, probably doing overtime, so you’re better off.

I say again, and it’s a a repetitive point I know... no one has shown how they, personally, are worse off. And you’re better off.

Riddle me that.

You’ve made assumptions. You don’t know if the overtime is a result of extra business or extra complications. You’ve also dismissed their concerns to paint a picture which may not be accurate. Is that not spin?

Not at all. I have consistently asked the straightforward question for anyone to show how they, personally, have been negatively affected by Brexit.

This is a very simple and precise question posed in my usual forensic fashion.

Answer there has been none.

I could tell you how it's affected me and lots of people I know, but instead I'll tell one way how it's affected you and nearly everyone else in the UK. The UK imports most of it's food. Since the 2016 referendum, sterling has fallen considerably in value. This means the cost of food has gone up for the UK shopper. I would call paying more for the same a negative impact, and a widespread impact at that.

Sorry but that's rubbish

We do not import "most of our food"

We are actually able to be self sufficient, except that consumers want mangoes in February etc

Wheat production for example has increased from 6 tonnes a hectare after the war to 14 now.

There have been no food inflation figures published at all that show any basket increases.

Plus we get tariff free products from the rest of the world - South African oranges - cheaper than we got before.

Oranges do not grow year round in Spain just two crops a year so we and the eu have always imported oranges from S Africa.

I love the way since we have left its all about environment as an argument, i didnt see the same people moaning that we were importing millions of bottles of WATER from the eu when you could get it from your tap.

"What a lot of moaning nonsense. We have Brussels right where we want them, on the retreat facing multiple rebellions.

Nobody in these threads ever gives any concrete evidence of how they personally have been negatively affected by Brexit.

I have repeatedly so please stop saying that Chris.

I do include you in that, I’ve read many times your minor paperwork complaints. Far as I can see

A) you’re being kept busy, which is good. Busy is good from a job point of view

B) you have a job, probably doing overtime, so you’re better off.

I say again, and it’s a a repetitive point I know... no one has shown how they, personally, are worse off. And you’re better off.

Riddle me that.

Wow... King of Spin.

Which part is not true?

You’ve made assumptions. You don’t know if the overtime is a result of extra business or extra complications. You’ve also dismissed their concerns to paint a picture which may not be accurate. Is that not spin?

Not at all. I have consistently asked the straightforward question for anyone to show how they, personally, have been negatively affected by Brexit.

This is a very simple and precise question posed in my usual forensic fashion.

Answer there has been none.

I could tell you how it's affected me and lots of people I know, but instead I'll tell one way how it's affected you and nearly everyone else in the UK. The UK imports most of it's food. Since the 2016 referendum, sterling has fallen considerably in value. This means the cost of food has gone up for the UK shopper. I would call paying more for the same a negative impact, and a widespread impact at that.

Sorry but that's rubbish

We do not import "most of our food"

We are actually able to be self sufficient, except that consumers want mangoes in February etc

Wheat production for example has increased from 6 tonnes a hectare after the war to 14 now.

There have been no food inflation figures published at all that show any basket increases.

Plus we get tariff free products from the rest of the world - South African oranges - cheaper than we got before.

Why can’t I have Mangos in February?

You wouldn't if you care for the environment

So importing oranges from South Africa rather than Spain is good for the environment? , so what fruit do the UK produce in winter?

Carrots are now grown year round in the UK

Carrots are not a fruit, nice try though

Didn't say they were, although you can make jam from them.

I asked for fruits, you gave me carrots, good effort

Pears, squash, blackberries, cherries, all sorts. "

Wow, they are all grown in winter? Naturally,? Where do I buy these British grown in winter fruits from?

Oh dear - do read my paragraphs properly please. The EU doesn't allow for odd shape or sizes, everyone knows that, so when I grew mine I kept those rules and threw those ones away. Since Liberation Day I can keep them all. Miss-shapes Petite ones. Large ones !!! Doubled my crop.

It was worse for me trying to grow bananas at home, could never get the curvature to match EU regulation 2257/94, from wiki:

“Commission Regulation (EC) No. 2257/94 of 16 September 1994 laying down quality standards for bananas, sometimes referred to in the media as the bendy banana law, is a European Union regulation specifying classification standards for bananas, which took effect on 1 January 1995.[1] It was replaced by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1333/2011 of 19 December 2011 laying down marketing standards for bananas, rules on the verification of compliance with those marketing standards and requirements for notifications in the banana sector with effect as of 9 January 2012.[2]“

Don't make the mistake that the eu grow all their bananas they import tons from the Caribbean, S America and Africa along with lots of other winter fruits. If people were so worried about climate change they would only eat seasonal fruit and veg.

I did,

1 It is irrelevant because we are no longer in the EU

2 It is irrelevant because you were growing a very small number of strawberries on a window ledge

3 the minimum size 18 mm, that is tiny, if you can’t grow strawberries bigger than that to sell then your doing something wrong

4 you could turn them into jam

5 where can I now now buy strawberries smaller than 18 mm

Between Chichester and Havant

Again the ignorance on the subject being discussed on this thread. No argument because they simply have no idea of what they are arguing!

Potatoes and carrots are a root vegetable that are harvested for many months of the year. Heard of Jersey royals? Or did you get hung up on the word 'royal'? Varieties of carrots can almost be grown all through the year in the UK. Those that can't, like late potatoe varieties are put into cold storage to be used when supply demands. Strawberries and other soft fruit, you can also include tomatoes and peppers, cucumbers for example are grown undercover, for year round production. Strawberries etc are perhaps only recently. Harder fruits, your apples, pears etc again are harvested when ripe and put into cold storage ready for when demand is there. So while not everything can be grown all year round in the UK, the UK has moved over the last decade to mimic those in north western Europe, ie Holland etc. A lot of the fruits imported are picked unripe to survive the journey and, in my opinion are not so tasty, plums from Israel for example. So while I wouldn't agree we are yet self sufficient with the population we have, we are getting closer. Also having the choice of bananas from the canaries and avocado from Spain, dictate what we buy, as do the plums from Israel and oranges from Spain and south Africa. If we went back to buying what was in season then the economic and environmental benefits would be huge. But that will never happen.

"What a lot of moaning nonsense. We have Brussels right where we want them, on the retreat facing multiple rebellions.

Nobody in these threads ever gives any concrete evidence of how they personally have been negatively affected by Brexit.

I have repeatedly so please stop saying that Chris.

I do include you in that, I’ve read many times your minor paperwork complaints. Far as I can see

A) you’re being kept busy, which is good. Busy is good from a job point of view

B) you have a job, probably doing overtime, so you’re better off.

I say again, and it’s a a repetitive point I know... no one has shown how they, personally, are worse off. And you’re better off.

Riddle me that.

Wow... King of Spin.

Which part is not true?

You’ve made assumptions. You don’t know if the overtime is a result of extra business or extra complications. You’ve also dismissed their concerns to paint a picture which may not be accurate. Is that not spin?

Not at all. I have consistently asked the straightforward question for anyone to show how they, personally, have been negatively affected by Brexit.

This is a very simple and precise question posed in my usual forensic fashion.

Answer there has been none.

I could tell you how it's affected me and lots of people I know, but instead I'll tell one way how it's affected you and nearly everyone else in the UK. The UK imports most of it's food. Since the 2016 referendum, sterling has fallen considerably in value. This means the cost of food has gone up for the UK shopper. I would call paying more for the same a negative impact, and a widespread impact at that.

Sorry but that's rubbish

We do not import "most of our food"

We are actually able to be self sufficient, except that consumers want mangoes in February etc

Wheat production for example has increased from 6 tonnes a hectare after the war to 14 now.

There have been no food inflation figures published at all that show any basket increases.

Plus we get tariff free products from the rest of the world - South African oranges - cheaper than we got before. "

According to Global Food Security, the UK cross-government programme on food security research, we import around 48% of total food consumed.

Think I'm going to start a thread.

No it doesn’t. Flawed logic. That would only be the case if only the imported food was wasted.

According to Global Food Security, the UK cross-government programme on food security research, we import around 48% of total food consumed.

Think I'm going to start a thread.

About 1/3 of all food produced in the UK or imported is wasted according to scientists at Loughborough University.

That only leave around 15% difference

No it doesn’t. Flawed logic. That would only be the case if only the imported food was wasted. "

I understand it's flawed but would we as a nation waste so much if we didn't have such variety?

I don't think we would.

"What a lot of moaning nonsense. We have Brussels right where we want them, on the retreat facing multiple rebellions.

Nobody in these threads ever gives any concrete evidence of how they personally have been negatively affected by Brexit.

I have repeatedly so please stop saying that Chris.

I do include you in that, I’ve read many times your minor paperwork complaints. Far as I can see

A) you’re being kept busy, which is good. Busy is good from a job point of view

B) you have a job, probably doing overtime, so you’re better off.

I say again, and it’s a a repetitive point I know... no one has shown how they, personally, are worse off. And you’re better off.

Riddle me that.

Wow... King of Spin.

Which part is not true?

You’ve made assumptions. You don’t know if the overtime is a result of extra business or extra complications. You’ve also dismissed their concerns to paint a picture which may not be accurate. Is that not spin?

Not at all. I have consistently asked the straightforward question for anyone to show how they, personally, have been negatively affected by Brexit.

This is a very simple and precise question posed in my usual forensic fashion.

Answer there has been none.

I could tell you how it's affected me and lots of people I know, but instead I'll tell one way how it's affected you and nearly everyone else in the UK. The UK imports most of it's food. Since the 2016 referendum, sterling has fallen considerably in value. This means the cost of food has gone up for the UK shopper. I would call paying more for the same a negative impact, and a widespread impact at that.

Sorry but that's rubbish

We do not import "most of our food"

We are actually able to be self sufficient, except that consumers want mangoes in February etc

Wheat production for example has increased from 6 tonnes a hectare after the war to 14 now.

There have been no food inflation figures published at all that show any basket increases.

Plus we get tariff free products from the rest of the world - South African oranges - cheaper than we got before.

it’s because it’s cheap that’s why easy to waste

My last import from Australia, less than 1% duty, the order before that over 3% duty. We leave the EU and I pay less duty, happy with that.

France, a country where retired generals send a letter to Macron, and 58% of the population agree with them. Germany now seems it has no central control over its regions with each doing it's own covid thing. I see the EU commission looking over their shoulders wondering what is next.

The only advantage of staying in the EU is that we would have all started recovering from the same place when the bottom falls out of the EU. If it does not change, it will fail, even the commission can now see it, but seemed scared to ask for ideas to prevent it, 27 different answers and ideas would take some serious voting to get unanimous agreement.

Yeah, hoping and praying the EU collapses is the last hope for brexiteers to justify their vote.

I don't think most of them realise this would also have a detrimental effect on the UK economy, which is already suffering.

Why do you equate having a gasp on reality with crying?

And why would you celebrate someone who is in tears?

Of course it will, let’s be honest, if the EU doesn’t fail Brexit has failed, that’s all you have left to justify your vote hence your obsession with posting anything negative about them. They don’t care about you Chris,

Brexit hasn't failed if the EU doesn't fail.

I only speak for myself but i want the EU to flourish,or singular nations (whichever those EU states decide) with the UK alongside them. It’s the only way it can be a great success. Until everyone stops with the pettiness though, that isn't gonna happen.

No I don’t, you can’t please everyone. If we want to rejoin the EU we need to follow what Farage and his ‘partys’ did , create division, obstruct, moan etc etc "

Well we have 40 years of that to look forward to.

"France, a country where retired generals send a letter to Macron, and 58% of the population agree with them. Germany now seems it has no central control over its regions with each doing it's own covid thing. I see the EU commission looking over their shoulders wondering what is next.

The only advantage of staying in the EU is that we would have all started recovering from the same place when the bottom falls out of the EU. If it does not change, it will fail, even the commission can now see it, but seemed scared to ask for ideas to prevent it, 27 different answers and ideas would take some serious voting to get unanimous agreement.

The EU will change, and it will change quicker and easier now that the UK have left

How quick are we talking? The EU have needed change for years already

No idea, it has to change to survive though and the likes of Barnier realise this , the UK leaving has accelerated change

I'm glad we agree on something. If only everyone was willing change whilst we were still a member. We may never have had Brexit

And that was their biggest mistake, but let’s behonest, there were people (Farage) that would never have accepted any changes and works have pushed to leave anyway

Just as there are people in all walks of life who never accept things.

I mean we only have to look at this very subject to see that.

Why should all remain voters accept what is happening ?

Like Farage and his supporters did? Moaned, obstructed, demonised immigrants etc it’s a shitty tactic but it worked

Well, I was pleased the Country was finally given the chance to have their say over our membership back in 2016.

The fact I was on the losing side of the vote doesn't bother me one bit in the slightest.

The lies told by both sides was pathetic but weighing up the claims of both sides, the majority of remain warnings which were labelled "Project Fear" have or are coming true in the main.

It's a pitty though that so many people will not or cannot still acknowledge the fact that leading up to Brexit and continuing going forward that Brexit still is very damaging to our economy and jobs.

You have never heard of that phrase? it implies no such thing only your interpretation of it. For instance it could mean free from having to pay into it anymore or free from the rules they impose. I consider myself free from the self elected elite of brussels now and im enjoying it.

I mean we only have to look at this very subject to see that.

Why should all remain voters accept what is happening ?

I didn't say they should. You brought up the fact that some people will never accept change.

You want people to accept change unless it doesn't suit? That a very insular viewpoint

No I don’t, you can’t please everyone. If we want to rejoin the EU we need to follow what Farage and his ‘partys’ did , create division, obstruct, moan etc etc Good luck with that, meanwhile i shall be enjoying my life free from the eu.

In what ways did the EU curtail your freedom?

Who said they did ?

You implied it when you said "meanwhile i shall be enjoying my life free from the eu".

Surely this wasn't just meaningless rhetoric!?! You have never heard of that phrase? it implies no such thing only your interpretation of it. For instance it could mean free from having to pay into it anymore or free from the rules they impose. I consider myself free from the self elected elite of brussels now and im enjoying it."

Fair play to you.

Shame you had to drag the whole country down just to feel good about yourself though.

If only there had been an easier way.

"France, a country where retired generals send a letter to Macron, and 58% of the population agree with them. Germany now seems it has no central control over its regions with each doing it's own covid thing. I see the EU commission looking over their shoulders wondering what is next.

The only advantage of staying in the EU is that we would have all started recovering from the same place when the bottom falls out of the EU. If it does not change, it will fail, even the commission can now see it, but seemed scared to ask for ideas to prevent it, 27 different answers and ideas would take some serious voting to get unanimous agreement.

The EU will change, and it will change quicker and easier now that the UK have left

How quick are we talking? The EU have needed change for years already

No idea, it has to change to survive though and the likes of Barnier realise this , the UK leaving has accelerated change

I'm glad we agree on something. If only everyone was willing change whilst we were still a member. We may never have had Brexit

And that was their biggest mistake, but let’s behonest, there were people (Farage) that would never have accepted any changes and works have pushed to leave anyway

Well we have 40 years of that to look forward to.

As long as you can rest in peace knowing you've bitched about Britain for the rest of your days, you'll be good

Like Farage and his supporters did? Moaned, obstructed, demonised immigrants etc it’s a shitty tactic but it worked

I'm very surprised that you seem to hold Farage in such high regard that you want to emulate him

He is a cunt, but he helped get Brexit, being a lying racist cunt gets results, apparently

Did you see him get pranked?

Again? Is this a new or old prank? I know he is now selling personal messages on some site, "

Yeah he is resorting to sending birthday messages out and he did one for a hugh jass

The EU will change, and it will change quicker and easier now that the UK have left

How quick are we talking? The EU have needed change for years already

No idea, it has to change to survive though and the likes of Barnier realise this , the UK leaving has accelerated change

I'm glad we agree on something. If only everyone was willing change whilst we were still a member. We may never have had Brexit

And that was their biggest mistake, but let’s behonest, there were people (Farage) that would never have accepted any changes and works have pushed to leave anyway

Just as there are people in all walks of life who never accept things.

I mean we only have to look at this very subject to see that.

Why should all remain voters accept what is happening ?

I didn't say they should. You brought up the fact that some people will never accept change.

You want people to accept change unless it doesn't suit? That a very insular viewpoint

No I don’t, you can’t please everyone. If we want to rejoin the EU we need to follow what Farage and his ‘partys’ did , create division, obstruct, moan etc etc

Well we have 40 years of that to look forward to.

As long as you can rest in peace knowing you've bitched about Britain for the rest of your days, you'll be good

Like Farage and his supporters did? Moaned, obstructed, demonised immigrants etc it’s a shitty tactic but it worked

I'm very surprised that you seem to hold Farage in such high regard that you want to emulate him

He is a cunt, but he helped get Brexit, being a lying racist cunt gets results, apparently

Did you see him get pranked?

Again? Is this a new or old prank? I know he is now selling personal messages on some site,

Yeah he is resorting to sending birthday messages out and he did one for a hugh jass

Ha, what bell end, imagine being one of the idiots who fell for his lies

Here we go... Woke opinion is that Brexit voters are thick...

What is ‘woke opinion ‘ ? Did you believe Farage?

Nope, I don't "believe" anyone, including you.

I talk to top people and use verified independent facts to form my opinions.

You get yours off the back of a cereal packet. "

What is this ‘woke opinion’ that you speak off?

I assumed you are terrified. You start a lot of threads blaming non-racists for all kinds of bizarre things.

You seem to have a real genuine phobia of people who aren't racist, it crops up in nearly every thread you post in.

"What a lot of moaning nonsense. We have Brussels right where we want them, on the retreat facing multiple rebellions.

Nobody in these threads ever gives any concrete evidence of how they personally have been negatively affected by Brexit.

I have repeatedly so please stop saying that Chris.

I do include you in that, I’ve read many times your minor paperwork complaints. Far as I can see

A) you’re being kept busy, which is good. Busy is good from a job point of view

B) you have a job, probably doing overtime, so you’re better off.

I say again, and it’s a a repetitive point I know... no one has shown how they, personally, are worse off. And you’re better off.

Riddle me that.

Wow... King of Spin.

Which part is not true?

You’ve made assumptions. You don’t know if the overtime is a result of extra business or extra complications. You’ve also dismissed their concerns to paint a picture which may not be accurate. Is that not spin?

Not at all. I have consistently asked the straightforward question for anyone to show how they, personally, have been negatively affected by Brexit.

This is a very simple and precise question posed in my usual forensic fashion.

Answer there has been none. "

Forensic implies precise and with intellect but I'm struggling to grasp that concept from someone who claims to use the government’s own software system to export a few pallets a year.

Its like having the DVLA computer installed at home to buy a bike at Halfords. So you were making stuff up again and we’ve established that as fact!!

Minor paperwork you claim? Given your proven lack of knowledge on the subject we can deduct you don’t understand the issues being discussed.

Those minor paperwork issues run into seven figure costs each year for my business so across U.K. industry the figure will be billions.

I’m paid a salary by the company so overtime not something of benefit to me.

The company has increased costs due to customs costs and physical procedures which result in higher transport and shipping costs. . So increases across the board.

Increased costs means lower margin. You following??

This reduction in margin results in lower profits.

Lower profits means less jobs and less spare cash for me to take and re-invest.

Maths not your strong point??

Busy is good hmmm so if I pay a guy £10 to hammer nails in at 100 nails an hour he is going to be delighted when I tell him to hammer in 200 per hour for the same rate because as you say busy is positive for his job!! Interesting economic benefit. We do more work for less money!!! I’m beginning to see a pro Brexit voter pattern here.

You must start listening the those professors rather than you doing all the talking. They can maybe help strengthen your wind up posts with some facts to at least make them look slightly credible. Or maybe not, as making factually positive Brexit claims is a big ask.

. Maybe to keep the issue in context it would be helpfull to indicate what % age of your total costs the extra administration is. If you are moving full loads I would have thought that it is negligible or hardly noticeable. I am assuming that all your competitors incur similar costs .

Most businnesses have adapted and simply moved on.

You have previously indicated that you run a very successfull and profitable businness. I think you also said that you had sufficient resources to open up production facilities abroad. In this case I fail to understand your concerns about a small amount of extra paperwork. You even said that you were prepared to pay more income or corporation tax so maybe just consider the extra paperwork as helping the civil service employ more people .

If you are an export business surely your biggest concern would be currency movements. Currency movements have been very favourable to exporters in recent years .

The company has increased costs due to customs costs and physical procedures which result in higher transport and shipping costs. . So increases across the board.

Increased costs means lower margin. You following??

This reduction in margin results in lower profits.

Lower profits means less jobs and less spare cash for me to take and re-invest.

Maths not your strong point??

Busy is good hmmm so if I pay a guy £10 to hammer nails in at 100 nails an hour he is going to be delighted when I tell him to hammer in 200 per hour for the same rate because as you say busy is positive for his job!! Interesting economic benefit. We do more work for less money!!! I’m beginning to see a pro Brexit voter pattern here.

You must start listening the those professors rather than you doing all the talking. They can maybe help strengthen your wind up posts with some facts to at least make them look slightly credible. Or maybe not, as making factually positive Brexit claims is a big ask.

. Maybe to keep the issue in context it would be helpfull to indicate what % age of your total costs the extra administration is. If you are moving full loads I would have thought that it is negligible or hardly noticeable. I am assuming that all your competitors incur similar costs .

Most businnesses have adapted and simply moved on.

You have previously indicated that you run a very successfull and profitable businness. I think you also said that you had sufficient resources to open up production facilities abroad. In this case I fail to understand your concerns about a small amount of extra paperwork. You even said that you were prepared to pay more income or corporation tax so maybe just consider the extra paperwork as helping the civil service employ more people .

If you are an export business surely your biggest concern would be currency movements. Currency movements have been very favourable to exporters in recent years .

"

You should do far more homework on transport costs as you are blatantly ignorant of the increases.

Unilever are paying upwards or €2-300 per truck and their buying power is far greater than mine.

The figure we are paying is in excess of 7 figures do you know how many people I could employ on a average wage for that??

That is a loss to the U.K. economy as most of those costs are paid to European based business not the civil service. My European competitors have no additional costs. If we were like a lot of companies solely U.K. based then we would risk losing market share.

My argument is we are taking a financial hit. It’s a loss of margin . Do you understand that concept?.

I’ll try to explain. If I had an ice cream van and my council licence price was put up my wages would be less. If the ice cream van next door didn’t have those additional licence costs he can either sell at the same price and keep his profits or drop his prices and increase his sales at my expense.

Because we trade globally we have a currency trading operation which we make profits on. So currency of no major concern. We make money on Sterling against the euro which is why major traders make millions and you lose every time you go on holiday.

Thee tax I’m paying in the U.K. will now be drastically reduced due to our trading becoming European centric.

We have no choice due to vat rules and to avoid the 25% corporation rate to be introduced.

I’m not paying that as it will cost yet more jobs to support a government who fail to claim tax off their donors and friends .

Hello. I think the issue that people are trying to identify is what your gross operating margin is and why a few extra bits of paperwork would have any material impact on it. Most companies have adapted and done so very quickly so why should yours be an exception ?

No, I don’t need to reply when I agree with the points being made, that’s a simple debating concept from the time of Cicero.

You bluster and protest “but but but” when we have deduced you do have a European (probably always have had, nothing to do with Brexit) operation, and that, for the third time, you have NOT been PERSONALLY negatively affected by Brexit.

You simply list hypothetical absurd situations (ice cream vans on different licence regimes) as if that aids your arguments.

As F Murray Abraham once said to me: “be what you are if not you want to be the other, in times of trouble”. Wise words.

. Hello. I am even more confused by your post now . What you appear to be saying is that a 25 % movement in currency costs ( which would make your exports more expensive by a similar amount ) does not bother you yet a minimal increase in administration costs concerns you deeply. Whilst it may be possible to hedge currency in the short term what you appear to indicate is that you are actually trading currency. In this case surely you could just as easily lose money as make money and in any event I would regard a currency trading side as entirely separate to the main trading organisation.

There may be a few teething problems with Brexit for some companies but overall the impact is immaterial . I am sure Unilever have simply adopted to changing circumstances.

If there were any serious issues with Brexit the FTSE 250 would hardly be at an all time high and numerous plcs are announcing better than expected results.

Everything at Unilever looks good , transport costs do not even get a mention .

It appears to be a good time to be in fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG).

Nestle reported its best quarterly sales growth in a decade last week while US giant Procter and Gamble also reported better than expected results.

Today it was the turn of Unilever - and the Anglo-Dutch giant did not disappoint. The maker of Knorr soup, Dove soap, Lynx deodorant, Marmite spread and Colman's mustard reported that sales during the first three months of the year were up 5.7% on the same period a year ago, on an underlying basis, to €12.3bn (£10.7bn).

"France, a country where retired generals send a letter to Macron, and 58% of the population agree with them. Germany now seems it has no central control over its regions with each doing it's own covid thing. I see the EU commission looking over their shoulders wondering what is next.

The only advantage of staying in the EU is that we would have all started recovering from the same place when the bottom falls out of the EU. If it does not change, it will fail, even the commission can now see it, but seemed scared to ask for ideas to prevent it, 27 different answers and ideas would take some serious voting to get unanimous agreement.

The EU will change, and it will change quicker and easier now that the UK have left

How quick are we talking? The EU have needed change for years already

No idea, it has to change to survive though and the likes of Barnier realise this , the UK leaving has accelerated change

I'm glad we agree on something. If only everyone was willing change whilst we were still a member. We may never have had Brexit

And that was their biggest mistake, but let’s behonest, there were people (Farage) that would never have accepted any changes and works have pushed to leave anyway

Just as there are people in all walks of life who never accept things.

I mean we only have to look at this very subject to see that.

Why should all remain voters accept what is happening ?

I didn't say they should. You brought up the fact that some people will never accept change.

You want people to accept change unless it doesn't suit? That a very insular viewpoint

No I don’t, you can’t please everyone. If we want to rejoin the EU we need to follow what Farage and his ‘partys’ did , create division, obstruct, moan etc etc

Well we have 40 years of that to look forward to.

As long as you can rest in peace knowing you've bitched about Britain for the rest of your days, you'll be good

Like Farage and his supporters did? Moaned, obstructed, demonised immigrants etc it’s a shitty tactic but it worked

I'm very surprised that you seem to hold Farage in such high regard that you want to emulate him

He is a cunt, but he helped get Brexit, being a lying racist cunt gets results, apparently

Did you see him get pranked?

Again? Is this a new or old prank? I know he is now selling personal messages on some site,

Yeah he is resorting to sending birthday messages out and he did one for a hugh jass

Ha, what bell end, imagine being one of the idiots who fell for his lies

Here we go... Woke opinion is that Brexit voters are thick...

What is ‘woke opinion ‘ ? Did you believe Farage?

Nope, I don't "believe" anyone, including you.

I talk to top people and use verified independent facts to form my opinions.

You get yours off the back of a cereal packet. "

Blue passports made in Poland and cries of Empire supporting the jingoism of the tabloid press shows us your professors are the lead commentators in the said tabloids. .

Your experience is chronically limited and the embarrassing exposure of your complete lack of customs exporting knowledge has just confirmed my belief that you are full of drivel! Hello. I think the issue that people are trying to identify is what your gross operating margin is and why a few extra bits of paperwork would have any material impact on it. Most companies have adapted and done so very quickly so why should yours be an exception ? "

We’ve adapted perfectly thanks as we have 30 plus years of customs experience. The competence issue is not with us it’s with the governments processes and the HMRC not being ready to cope with a last min deal. Like all other companies all those additional costs we are incurring will not go away. Brexit has added permanent costs and that is a fact.

I had a meeting with directors of one of the biggest ferry operators in Europe this last week. I asked their opinion.

Their volumes on unaccompanied have increased due to self drives dropping exports.

They and their clients are struggling big time with logistics as drivers from Eastern Europe head home. (Look up RHA comments on this )

The customs office also doesn’t have enough staff to turn around documents so their ferries are suffering delays. . The issue over delays on clearances is also causing congestion at terminals for which they have now introduced punitive charging for parked trailers. This is slowing export bookings and volumes.

Their words “the public have no concept of how shift this really is! “

Yes of course I’m going to discus my operating margin on a swingers site. Get a grip!

I have first hand knowledge of this shit show and no amount of bullshit or Gove type rhetoric will tell me it’s all ok.

The costs eventually will end up on the retail purchaser. Less buying power another benefit I’m sure you will try to disown.
