Although not the Nestle end of the market, the UK's fine chocolate makers have been the hardest hit by Brexit within the food sector with exports down 68% so many more jobs going in this industry, though they will be smaller businesses and individually won't hit the news.

Not often i agree with Gully,but i agree with him/her here, our firm have had to splash out hundreds of thousands of pounds to set up a importing office in Spain.Boss trying to find a processing factory in either Poland or Spain,and close his Aberdeen production facility.I am nearing retiring age,so not too worried,however i worry about our younger workers....a lot of whom vote SNP and state that they voted for Brexit.They say now it was the worst mistake they ever made in their lives.

[THECORBYLOON]

Of the Top Ten exports to the EU, the chocolate exporters have not been the worst affected, percentage-wise.

Exports of salmon dropped by 98% compared to the previous year.

//...a lot of whom vote SNP and state that they voted for Brexit.They say now it was the worst mistake they ever made in their lives.//

Aye, they should have followed the SNP and voted against brexit... what about conservative, labour, or lib dem etc voters that voted for brexit , was it also their worst mistake in their lives?

[emmie]

it wasn't mine, i voted for Brexit, and glad that i did.

[steg]

Aye I dinae blame you, I would give up haggis if they started rearing them in englandshire.
It just not shinty

[ynnafymmi]

@steg.Up here in Scotland 29% of SNP supporters voted for Brexit,27% of Tory voters voted for Brexit,19% of Labour voters voted for Brexit.(Guardian figures,by the way).300,000 SNP supporters voted for Brexit.Eejits.

[emmie]

why eejits?

[ynnafymmi]

@06.36.At your last paragraph.Aye,if they work for a company that mainly exports to Europe,it probably was the worst mistake they ever made.

[gulliver1]

I expexct there are lots of people out there now ,who have lost their jobs and no doubt a lot more to come .Who wish they could turn the clock back and regret being radicalised by Johnson and Farage , into voting for Brexit . But Hey ho, too late now.

[emmie]

its done now and no going back, get used to it gulliver.

[dannyk13]

Gulliver, where in the link does it say anything about Brexit ?

[emmie]

many people have lost jobs in the last year because of the pandemic, which couldn't have been forseen by anyone.

[ynnafymmi]

@08.11.Sorry,lied to eejits.No "sunny uplands"up here in Scotland.Not for the food exporting businesses and their workers anyway.

[Bobbisox1]

Talking of the taste in chocolate,I like Milka usually found abroad

[ynnafymmi]

@08.17.Aye,emmie.Brexit would have been bad without Covid,Covid would have been bad without Brexit.But the two of them together was a double-whammy that is destroying a lot of British businesses.

[gulliver1]

08 15 But you will not lose your job .

[steg]

What about the 17million+ non SNP voters that voted brexit, are they all eejits as well?
The fact that nearly 70% of SNP supporters voted to remain (like my self), must mean most SNP supporters are not eejits then?

[bednobs]

if you are not eating kit kats because they are not made in britain any more then you really shouldnt eat milka (which is made in mainland europe) either!
