Comeuppance

[gulliver1]

As trade through the Channel Tunnel collapses. Border delays and Tariffs.
Brexit is now wreaking havoc on British Businesses and supplies..
Anyone regret voting out

I don't know why gulliver doesn't post links, but here it is

The figures are quite startling.

[bobbinwales]

Good link jno but its only to be expected until everyone gets used to the new ways, and covid issues didnt help either

[gulliver1]

Cattle Farmers are not very happy with with their exports, no cattle sheep or goats have left the UK since Ist Jan.

maybe, bobb; sometimes teething troubles end in teeth falling out. Companies can't fund losses on that scale for long.

[bobbinwales]

Well the businesses and ministers need to roll there sleeves up and make it work. Its pointless standing on the sidelines hoping things will get worse so they can grin smugly

[Hopkirk]

Yes Gulliver, one of the big successes of Brexit is that we are now able to ban live animal exports for animal welfare reasons.

[gulliver1]

Farming,Fashion ,flowers and fish industry feeling the pinch already , even Bee keepers and the music industry. Probably just teething troubles as some one on a/b came up with on another thread.

[Zacs-Master]

There are no animals being exported because there are no border control posts for them at EU mainland ports. Gulliver is, for once, factually correct.

"Gosh that was just like opening a "Jack in the box"

Why do you persist in asking questions like this in AB, given that you are more than aware of the political leanings of the vast majority of its members. What are you hoping to achieve?

AB is predominantly very right-wing. Constantly posting questions asking whether they have suddenly changed their views seems utterly pointless.

That said, you are at least using the site for what it's supposed to be for...

@14.19 Haha ... Vee are asking zee kvestions.

[Hopkirk]

The live export ban hasn't happened yet, I grant you.
However the government is consulting on bringing one in, which would have not been possible if we were still in. Bring it on.

[gulliver1]

Jim 14.19, "AB is predominantly right wing" Does that mean if one has not been radicalised by the right , then one should not be on A/B

[Bobbisox1]

You do love that *r* word donchya ;)

[middlemarch]

The use of the word "comeuppance" says it all really. The ordinary working people voted in a way that Gulliver, and the Woke Liberal elites, did not agree with, so now he is salivating in the hope that we will be punished for having minds of our own.

[JimF]

"Does that mean if one has not been radicalised by the right , then one should not be on A/B"

For heaven's sake, have a day off, why don't you...?

[gulliver1]

15.05 , A day off from what ?.

[Deskdiary]

A day off from being a pillock.

[fcc]

I have no regrets voting to leave,i think we did very well before joining.

[gulliver1]

This is life jim but not as you know it.

15.23 Stop acting so juvenile and immature and do try to grow up , if its possible in your case .
