This story yet another that makes me sad at what has been taken from us with it even being something the UK Gov is *proud* of

"I really must take my hat off to Brexit. It has had the revolutionary effect of transforming our best of both worlds into the best of no worlds"
Despite our British nationality, we were excluded from its democratic voting process.
Despite our commitment to the values & principles embodied by the European Union, we've now been excluded from it too. What amazes me the most? Nobody seems to care or be doing anything about it
I know *you* have tried @BritishInEurope but add this poor 19 year old as a yet another tragedy

Quite revealing really ...
"For the purposes of obtaining nationality, the French define a childโ€™s country of residence as the country in which they are schooled. Britain, on the other hand, defines a childโ€™s country of residence as the country in which their parents pay tax"

Anybody having lingering doubts about EU hauliers/drivers staying away and trade dropping off a cliff/shortages (unless UK finds needed infrastructure, modern fully interfaced IT, 5000 customs officers, 50,000 *experienced* customs agents in next couple of weeks ๐Ÿ˜ณ? ) Read on....
Truckers heading to the port of Dover once post-Brexit volumes recover could find themselves stuck for up to *20 days* in 70,000-long truck queue ( according to new modelling undertaken by Simul8.
It says if truck check-in times increase to 20 minutes at Dover,
which would put it in line with *non-EU member* (i.e.Belarussia) customs policy, a queue of 70,594 vehicles โ€“ equivalent to around *20 daysโ€™ delay* โ€“ could form. This would represent the port being at some 500% overcapacity

Further indication of what I mean by further peaks of disruption & chaos around 1/4 & esp 1/7
The Port of Liverpool could face significant disruption & delays later this year amid staffing shortages & a predicted *12*-fold increase in number of sanitation checks needed on imports
New rules & regulations governing sanitation checks on food & other products coming into the port after Brexit will mean a significant increase in workload for staff.
The number of employees at Mersey Port Health, the body in charge of carrying out the checks, needs to more than
double from 15 to 34. However, significant demand for similarly skilled staff across the country, as well as the specific skillset required, is leading to a struggle to recruit them in time. A report submitted to Mersey Port Health Committee said that if staff were not recruited

When we had a [Brexit] deal, I thought, we're saved all the rigmarole and hassle, it'll work sweet as a nut, but it hasn't happened," says Mr Flannigan. Instead, he says, it feels like the clock's been turned back 30 years
People really don't have a "sweet as a nut" clue do they?
Yes "30 years" and worse ..because you are now outside the Single Market & "worse" outside the Customs Union too . You're now trading under conditions more like Belarussia into EU without the customs & logistical capacity to handle the volumes. Your business will most likely fail
This was always so ..regardless of the "deal" esp with "87% of Berwick Shellfish's ยฃ1.7m sales go to France, Spain and Germany"
Next....
"The real test for me is the next two to three weeks, as inventory is depleted and orders increase," says Mr Munro.

Brexit also brings UK pork sector to standstill. Surprise eh? @RichardAENorth ๐Ÿ™„
UK pork processors are experiencing significant issues in exporting products to the EU, which has already brought part of the industry to a complete standstill, risking knock-on impacts on farm.
The widely seen footage of overzealous Dutch (*my edit: "no they were not"*) inspection officials confiscating ham sandwiches transported by British hauliers is just the tip of the iceberg as far as the UK pig sector is concerned.
The NPAโ€™s processor members have reported that
excessive (*my edit: only for non-EU members*) bureaucracy associated with paperwork requirements are causing delays at Dover, Calais and other ports. With pork being a perishable product, these delays are making UK shipments unattractive to buyers in the EU, forcing processors
