Can't help but wonder again how many voted to lose their businesses, jobs & livelihoods?

& as @VanDutchmanXXX states this when more critical than ever to have UK made parts in UK produced cars (etc)....
Those rules of origin as a result of leaving the Customs Union...are a major NTB to trade...
to add to the many NTBs to trade as a result of leaving the Single Market

I have just met a nice young lady from RAF Akrotiri who although not blaming the Cypriots was lamenting that all their post from UK now has to go through Cypriot customs.
She thought the Cypriots were "just making things up" and didn't understand why brexit meant this.
I do have to despair many times these days.
(I did suggest she order online now from Ireland or anywhere else in EU which she'll try)

Breaking free of Brussels bureaucracy was meant to herald a bonfire of red tape for Britain. In the first 100 days of Brexit, the only thing many businesses burned was money. Customs checks, paperwork & border delays since the U.K. completed its withdrawal from the European Union
are sucking cash and time out of firms from big-name retailers to small family-owned businesses. Companies, which warned for years that this would happen, take no pleasure in saying “we told you so,” but the frustration is clear as they grapple with the long-term reality.
For many businesses on tight margins, every pound spent on documentation means less for wages, hiring and investment. While the impact will be far less dramatic than the short-term shock of the Covid-19 lockdowns, over time it will add up, hobbling the economy and

For the last 5 years I have tried to convey how shocked I was and what it would devastatingly mean to leave the EU (SM&CU) after nearly 5 decades part of it & its expansion.
Maybe the best way is to say both customs free internal markets will turn in on themselves much more.
However the EU customs free internal market (inc NI) is much bigger than the GB (UK minus NI) customs free internal market.
Guess which of the two is going to be much more internally self sufficient
& which one will continue to need the other more ?..
Only now, to UK's further detriment, the continental (& Irish) purchases for GB consumers will be (customs & regulatory) more expensive; rarer; more limited in choice & with longer delivery schedules.
I'd suggest EU holidays will be pretty much (back to the early 1970s) same 🙄

Without Covid-19 this would be all over the newspapers” Mr Lord says, adding that he feels the “media is so dishonest in telling the story, in not reporting that violence in Ireland is also down to Brexit.” Mr Lords fears that “this is just the beginning and costs will go up.
This is incredibly inflationary, with Brexit-related price increases in shipping, transport, etc., it is not hitting yet.”
He adds that another problem for many businesses will be the end of mixed loads and multiple drops as there is no more groupage
UK shippers can no longer do multiple drops in the EU under rules for third countries).
Meanwhile, Aztec Oils “have had to now employ two extra people just to handle the administrative burden being placed upon us and are struggling to get to grips with the government NES

All adding to make GB the new (trading model at least) DDR of Europe...
Worse than back to the early 1970s UK..
at least back then all other major Western European economies faced each other's customs & regulatory intra-European trade barriers!!

Belarussian Brexit 🙄
