"My bro. is Border Force, used to work HH. They were moved to Paris last year for 3 year placement.. They've been told have to return back to HH urgently befpre end March. Been given 6 weeks notice to relocate back....house, schools, belongings etc, mid-pandemic"
Guess why?
6 months "border facilitation" was never about being "generous" (Mr Habib) to EU...Hence "leaked" Liz Truss letter last June covering her ass.
Growing panic UK not ready to end WTO illegal/"flow over compliance"/smugglers charter "border facilitation" for 1/4 and 1/7
POLICE from more than 30 constabularies all over Britain - including Cheshire - have been redeployed to Kent to help the authorities manage Brexit traffic chaos, it has emerged.
At the same time, it underlined that the costs of calling on other forces would be met by the government. i.e. you the taxpayer warringtonguardian.co.uk/news/19104031.โฆ
There is an invisible traffic jam of UK exports building, amid increasing business risk-adverseness
Scottish Engineering CEO Paul Sheerin told the Scottish Parliamentโs Culture, Tourism, Europe & External Affairs Committee a survey of the members of the association revealed that
โall those who export goods are sufferingโ as a result of Brexit. He said: โThese problems are myriad, predominantly involving availability of logistics capacity and increased costs. But what worries them more than this is the impact on their relationships with customers.
โDelays in getting parts in, mean delays in getting goods to customers, and when parts come in late, they lack the capacity to build fast enough and address the backlog.โ
Scottish engineering firms, Mr Sheerin told the MSPs, were growing increasingly anxious about the
"People don't understand the ruinous nature of nationalism and yet we had 75 million die for it only 80 years ago. People have no concept of or care for history, nor do the vast majority care about "the other" - their fellow man
As I've said a few times, only until the ramifications of Brexit have truly harmful consequences - meaning uncontestable unemployment figures or economic contractions and deep recession that can't be attributable to the pandemic, we are deeply in the shit with this.
Just like with Trump, the Tories have resuscitated themselves off the back of a leader most of them probably can't abide - & yet he engages with the (nationalist) proletariat and grants them (perceived) landslides of power. I'm guessing many within Labour felt similarly about TB.
@MaelorForest Again so little understanding . It's tiresome. Mike Harvey, director at Maelor Forest Nurseries on the Brexit Irish Protocol โItโs typical that the EU puts these restrictions in place and applies them rigorously in Northern Ireland but we leave the borders open
to trees coming in from the EU including Ireland and the Netherlands" YES BECAUSE EU HAS *LEGALLY* TAKEN CONTROL OF ITS BORDERS, UNLIKE UK THAT WAS/IS NOT READY TO..
AND WTO *ILLEGALLY* WON'T BE, FOR SPS MEASURES THROUGH (PLANNED) 1/4 UNTIL 1/7. THAT IS NOT THE FAULT OF THE EU
And Belfast city council,โWe thought it would be teething problems that would be resolved quickly. It just seems ludicrous really,โ said Fulton. โThe irony is that I can now get a tree easier from Latvia than I can from Britain,

"So incredibly sending a single consumer good of relatively low value (under ยฃ200) - UPS is now requesting POWER OF ATTORNEY from the RECIPIENT (as though the average private ebay/amazon buyer has a frikking clue what that is..) to enable UPS to deliver the package
So UPS calls the customer the customer is working or busy.. And you can guess what happens. More fucking delays. I had to call UPS myself to find this nugget of information out..
So now I am frantically communicating in foreign languages
trying to get my customer to call UPS themselves to give "power of attorney." as UPS wants
You can imagine how happy this makes the average customer..
From a friend in brief..
"Parcelforce / GLS shipments to EU (Amazon mandate) are simply not leaving the UK. Apparently they're all being "held in containers." I'd understand a delay. But these are total stops. This stuff isn't moving. There is no cycle.
For other packages I've used UPS (who have mostly been faultless in all the time I've used them). Stuff is getting into Europe mostly (some stuff gets stuck in the UK for a bit). But then the packages just sit in warehouses literally a handful of miles away from destination.
One package has been a month. One EXPRESS package just scans every day from a warehouse. What the absolute fuck is happening here. These seem like vastly different issues, both in UK AND in EU. UPS was getting stuff delivered in January and now it's like they've just given up?
