Britain Loses It's Status.

[gulliver1]

Britain, for years has been Germany's top trading partner..... but for the first time since 1950 Germany who has the largest economy in Europe is looking elsewhere for Business....And it's all down to Brexit Trade Barriers.
........ Uk has shot themselves in the foot according to the German media.

And we all know where the balance of that trade has lain!

they would hardly say otherwise i would have thought.

Is it a bad thing if we buy fewer Mercs/VW/Audi cars? Japanese etc. vehicles made here and in the Far East are generally more reliable, better specified and cheaper.

[naomi24]

It's lost its chains!

No they don't.

I don't think there is a car out there that corrodes nowadays.
Everything else falls apart before the body gives in.

I have just scrapped my 17 year old camping Grand Voyager...not a blemish on the bodywork.

Pity your PC hasn't rusted away.

Agricultural products UK--- Germany down 80% Pharmaceutical product down 50%. and many more products. Small firms cant't afford the extra burden of keeping up to date and complying with new Brexit rules.

I can just see you Gully rubbing your hands with glee at finding out your latest 'news'. Why do you have The UK so much one wonders? I would be really interested to know. I know you are not a young man. But somewhere you hold a huge grudge from the past. Why do you make such an attempt to upset people on a regular basis, when you know you are a basically laughing stock on here. Trolls are very unhappy troubled souls.

'hate' not 'have'

Brexit means losing accsess to UK's most important export market.

[theshedman]

As the EU sells more to us than we sell to them I am sure they will come to some agreement soon. They stand to lose a lot if we start buying from elsewhere.

pat everyone knows how gulliver works but he never listens to anyone except himself anyway.

Another baseless OP in news without a link based on the posters prejudice
Stop feeding the troll

[gulliver1]

Good news, UK to delay new Brexit border checks,
due to come into force Oct 1st.... on foodstuffs, due to empty supermarket shelves.
