I normally watch the Gully versus TTT show on this site from the sidelines, but Brexit is still rearing its ugly head. All very worrying.

These checks have already been delayed 5 times, with Reece-mogg saying their implementation would be an act of self-harm.

 

Brexit itself was an act of self-harm – there is a lot more self-harm to come, inflicted on the UK by Brexit.

According to reports in the media, many European businesses are unaware that these checks are about to come into force – they will only find out once their export consignment is refused entry (without the correct paperwork).

 

It is thought that many just won’t bother trying to export to the UK, after all they have a freely available customer base of some 450 million in Europe.

\\The changes that come in on Wednesday will echo what the EU has had in place for UK exporters for the past three years.

\\There are reasons why the UK wants to reciprocate. First, World Trade Organization rules state that trade borders for the EU need to match those of the rest of the world, so as not to give the bloc a trading advantage.//

 

Copying the EU and WTO

Will these be like the checks  the E U makes on imports to EU countries?  

[Hymie]

Brexiteers seem to forget that if we were in the EU there would be free movement of goods and services between countries.

 

By voting for Brexit, people were voting for trade barriers between ourselves and our European neighbours – now they are complaining about what they voted for.

So that their fault.

Which they already do business with and do you really think they won'ty sale to us.

Oh and as you know we are in Europe.

 

[Hymie]

Those that do decide to continue to sell to us will have increased costs as a result of these checks and what they have to do to obtain the correct health certificates etc – guess who is going to pay for that.

 

Some products with a very short shelf-life will not be viable as exports due to the inevitable delays and resultant spoilage.

translated that is: Gully bites TTT  a lot but TTT is ahead by three falls to two - but hold it ( wrestling pun intended) Gully may be right !

Pure AB   - -  "mutated from "pure Post office" that is a now phrase)

[Peter Pedant]

Brexit rules screwing EU importers to here?

is this true or just a wish?

[Hymie]

Some of the people who conned others into voting leave (e.g. Farage & Reece-mogg) now admit what a disaster Brexit is for the UK; but those they conned seem unwilling to accept the reality of the situation we now find ourselves – the belief in Brexit really is a cult.
