Well, urged on by the PM on Channel 4 news, I took a quick look at 'their websites'. And they're scary places, let me tell you. First tho, there's a lovely video that tells you how exciting leaving the EU is going to be, with smiley people going over their residency applications
while exporters are told of the new 'approach to trade'. Oh, ok then, 'approach' doesn't sound so bad. But then you click the Start button in the Take Action section and you enter the Brexit horrorshow. Here's a summary of my own little Brexit nightmare to come >>
Check if you need to change your contract to keep accessing personal data from the EU, Norway, Iceland or Liechtenstein: You may not be able to access personal data from the EU without the right arrangements in place. >>
Check the rules, tax and duty rates for exporting to the rest of the world: You risk not being able to export your goods if you do not follow the rules. >>
Decide how you want to make customs declarations and whether you need to get someone to deal with customs for you: You risk not being able to import or export goods if you do not get your business ready. >>
Get an EORI number that starts with GB to move your goods into or out of the EU: It takes up to a week
You will not be able to move your goods into or out of the EU without an EORI number. >>

Check if there's a trade agreement with any non-EU country you're planning to trade with from 1 January 2021: You risk disruption to your trading arrangements and unexpected costs. Because after 31 December 2020, EU trade agreements will not apply to the UK. >>
So there we are. Just one wee Scottish business's Brexit nightmare to come that we didn't vote for but are getting anyway. And for what? So a bunch of Tory posh boys can evade paying their tax? The sooner we leave this prison that's called the UK and #DissolveTheUnion, the better
