Brexit Has Made Us A Nation Of Rule Takers, Not Rule Makers

[Hymie]

Those of you too stupid to acknowledge this, what this video where things are explained for you.

What UK exporters also need to be aware of is that each EU country is a sovereign nation and as such can set their own checks criteria on goods arriving from outside the EU. So what might work for sending goods to Germany may not be acceptable for goods destined for the Netherlands, or any other EU nation.

This Brexit thing has become a nightmare for UK exporters - and it's going to get worse.

Organise a collection to buy that scruffy *** some new clothes and I will chip in.

Did he dress smart when he could afford it pre-Brexit?

[Old_Geezer]

On the contrary, it was having an external unaccountable elite in charge that made us rule takers. Brexit cut that. The only reason we wouldn't be rulemakers now would be incompetent politicians being elected.

There is no nightmare for exporters save though who are not capable of doing their job, and only getting away with it because they capitulated to the EU. In which case they've now ben found out. And of course every nation has it's own standards. That's the point. And we do too.

Some don't seem to be able to cope with the realities of life, in which case they need to go home and wrap themselves in cotton wool, and find a mantra they can repeat to keep themselves calm.

Surely all countries have trade standards....so nothing suprising here

[Peter Pedant]

Those of you too stupid to acknowledge this,
thickos in or on AB? - never never !
jamais ( french for those who dont like forrin)
MH GENOITO ( for those that dont like ancient forrin, you know who you are

how insulting you naughty boy - get on the naughty boys step!
You know it is not true because Naomi has repeatedly told you and so we conclude that you LLLLLLIIIIIIIEEEEEE!

OK back to er reality
we voted on this and we voted brexit
amidst all the lies from Boris - Blessed Boris that is! - £350m we were clearly told that to trade wivda EU we wd have to follow the rules and we wd not have a say

and what did TTT say about that 7 y ago - screw dat and lets get a lovely blue passport - yeah
( which are still EU standard otherwise you cant travel)

ho hum - c'est la vie
( oops more forrin)

[Peter Pedant]

we brought it on ourselves

[theshedman]

Given up answering on most of a few of posters threads on here but feel it is wrong that they get away with calling anyone who doesn't agree with them either stupid or idiots. If most of us were to do it the post would get removed yet these posters get away with almost anything. Is it one rule for them and one for the rest of us and I know this has been asked before yet they still get away with it.

[Peter Pedant]

In which case they've now ben found out. And of course every nation has it's own standards. That's the point. And we do too.

is this man too thick to understand that to export to the EU - our big big market- you have to follow harmonised ( they all have the same rules) EU rules

I do believe he is

[Peter Pedant]

shedman - another rule - - to keep on subject

we have to follow EU rules to export to the EU

and yes half of AB is currently denying that
( but there are those lovely blue passports and lbs and oz!)

[Bobbisox1]

Not forgetting that Gulliver says we’re ‘thickos’ , the ones that voted for Brexit , I did so I’m a thicko along with 51% of the electorate Shedman , you’re right, they should be told about their use of such colourful language

[naomi24]

PP, I'll tell you yet again. Leave me out of your inane ramblings.

[Peter Pedant]

sorry judge I please 'truth'
Naomi loses no time in callin Hymie ( bless him) a jerk most days

let the truth stand and speak !

anyway Hyme has a point - ergo is not a jerk

( tha is not too mcu for ab is it

[Bobbisox1]

PP, I have NEVER seen Naomi use that word ever !!!
Stop causing unnecessary trouble !!!

[naomi24]

PP, //let the truth stand and speak ! //

Yes, let it. I have never called anyone here a jerk. Despite being asked countless times to stop, you continue to name me in your nonsense on a daily basis so please be aware that if you continue I will remove your posts.

[lankeela]

The only groundhog day is your constant repetitive meaningless pointless videos that nobody even watches. As for you calling people stupid er pot - kettle.

[theshedman]

Bobbi, I remember saying one poster had, had an airport named after them a number of years ago when they kept having a go at me and that post was removed within a few minutes. I hadn't written the word but just said it was Barcelona airport and it was zapped straight away.

[lankeela]

Maybe if everyone reports these posts they will actually do something about them and remove them.

[Bobbisox1]

Lankeela, I’m getting quite complacent with their language that if you don’t agree with what they say then you get called thicko, etc, the Mods are able to see this yet they ‘might’ get a mild warning but their post stands whist people such as TTTs is swiftly removed , so I don’t bother reporting anything , anymore

[New Judge]

Despite you beginning your question by mentioning the stupidity of people who disagree with you, and since the weather is not too good today, I’ll start a proper conversation and, out of interest, see how long it takes to degenerate into further insults.

//What UK exporters also need to be aware of is that each EU country is a sovereign nation and as such can set their own checks criteria on goods arriving from outside the EU//

Most of the product rules are harmonised in the EU. This means that the same rules apply in all EU countries. Rules are applied to product groups, such as food, toys, or electrical goods. Others are covered by harmonised product characteristics. This means a UK exporter selling those goods to EU countries needs to comply with just one set of standards. Where a product is not covered by this harmonisation, the seller has only to comply with the standards set by the individual country or countries he intends to sell them to. But the important point (as far as your statement above goes) is that this situation prevailed whilst we were EU members and still applies today to the remaining 27 members. If a German trader wants to sell goods not covered by the harmonisation rules to multiple EU countries he has to comply with the standards set by each of those countries and is thus in the same position as a UK trader.

Of course whilst the UK was a member of the EU it had to accept EU standards where they were harmonised and could not set its own standards. Now it can.

Incredible as it may seem, the rest of the world (the vast majority of countries) seems to manage perfectly well without a single market and customs union and no other group of countries has attempted to replicate the EU model. The UK has decided to join them.

"Maybe if everyone reports these posts they will actually do something about them and remove them.'

have you not seen how they both cry and stamp their feet like five year olds when they do have posts removed..its actually very very funny.

[lankeela]

I stopped replying to Gulliver months ago, and now Hymie is on the list too - as this site only survives on the number of posts/answers maybe if everyone stopped acknowledging the absolute twaddle that they spout the site owners would realise they are killing it. I don't understand why people give them the time of day.
