"Brexiteers Hugh & Marcia Williams, owners of currently-closed Edinburgh Castle pub in Holyhead, declare their happiness.

“I’m pleased” says Hugh. “Almost euphoric.”

Seriously: why? What benefits do they think they'll gain? Reduced throughput means fucked town & fucked business Image
Marcia accepts there will be teething problems with the new arrangements.

“Initially, it’s going to be a bit of a nightmare,” she says. “But once they get it sorted, it’ll be fine.

To achieve what improvements to their lives? other than that fucked business at the end of it?
People really do get what they deserve @Ninjafairy2 @MerriganMl

Frightening how much the UK after nearly 50/30 years in the expanding customs union/single market respectively has no idea what it is letting itself in for....
Yep ...and don't lose a drumstick or throw away a used inner tube 🤣

Whatever the analyses, I'll never understand the efforts, taxpayers money & substantial pain to come to make the disunited or broken apart UK, face so many more difficulties in trading with its neighbours; even within its own territory & to be so much poorer & less secure
with fewer rights for Brits in their own country & across the EU/EEA.
And that there is not a lot more official opposition/media attention & anger about it
.
Even more so when I read the following from 2010 by the "Taxpayers Alliance"
@CandidePeel @bakerstherald Thanks for bringing this to my attention when the MSM - for whatever reason - is so noticably reticent to expose these would be quickly evolving (sounds better/less sinister) "freeports"

It makes me laugh ...all this flurry of activity over queues of lorries.
It does seem no matter how much the relevant experience warns and tries its damndest to explain it goes over the head of most reporting until they see with their own eyes.
Even when it leaked about '7000 truck queues' nobody really reacted as should have, because clearly they did not comprehend shoved up bumper to bumper this is approx *80 miles* long with until now *normal flows" .
These queues seen here are result of normal flow increased by 1.4?
(15,000 trucks p/day thru Dover)..
Outside the CU/SM/safety zone, 1.4 times normal flow would take 80 miles to..(do the maths)
Anybody not yet understanding why (without extended CU/SM transition) UK in big trouble
...even without the converged container shipping crisis/covid etc

Whoops...Don't cross the fishermen

"...while EU states have an obligation under EU law to stop private citizens from interfering with the free movement of goods between member states, they have *no such obligation to stop individuals blocking imports from non-EU countries*"
UK Gov said last week the Navy will be able to arrest EU fishermen who illegally enter Britain’s waters in event of a no-deal Brexit. But Rogoff told the France Info radio station: “If we are deprived of our fishing grounds, we will not watch the British supply the French market.

@RichardAENorth as always exposes majority (UK politicians &) MSM as being wholly complicit in this mess owing to their ignorance/bad misinformation

"Basically, what this amounts to is a declaration of intent by the EU that, if Johnson chooses the path of “no deal”,
then in all but a tiny number of areas the United Kingdom is to be left to stew in its own juice.
Yet still, as far as the media goes – so say nothing of our lacklustre politicians – the consequences of walking away without a deal still don’t seem to have sunk in,
typified by a headline in The Times which tells us: “EU threatens to ground British flights”.

This is classic, if moronic response which fails to understand that the purpose of leaving the EU is supposedly to rid ourselves of the grip of EU laws,
