Ideal "job" in UK? I'd recommend everybody become a MP. Be paid extremely well to be ignorant &/or lobby fodder &/or vote to be (executive powers) redundant on full pay. You've nothing to worry about in lying your way to the top regardless of the known economic crash consequences
to trade; people's small businesses, livelihoods & jobs (...& peace)
You can can also remove people's extended freedoms across Europe in the perverse twisted name of freedom
as the public will always just collectively shrug its shoulders & continue voting for you anyway
You know what gets me?...
The fact that media is even asking the questions along the lines of
"is Brexit responsible for logistics chaos and delivery issues"
shows how very clearly the UK is being gaslighted.
The internationally agreed *baseline* on trade is WTO rules.
163 (but not all the world's) nations have signed up to these.
However this is not enough for 162 members so members negotiate closer relationships in the form of various bilateral agreements up to Free Trade Agreements.
No country trades on WTO rules alone.
Lol...I just wondered how often I had tweeted brexit much less (choice) for much more (cost) out of SM/CU warnings
after "suitable period of upheaval shortages"
(twitter search) as follows...
found these tweets back to Sep 2020
..I know I was tweeting long before that though
"Frost will tell the Tory conf. on Monday “the long bad dream of EU membership is over”
From a lad of Leeds 1960s working class background EU membership over my adult life has brought me increasing freedoms, rights and ease of trade across our continent. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…
I shouldn't take it personally...but it saddens me that all I have taken so much for granted is robbed from a new generation ...
& the country just seems to accept it...
or even cheer it on with continued support for the cabal of crooks, charlatans & ignorant idiots in Government
Basically 1/ not enough UK drivers to drag loads
(inc containers from outside EU) from ports.
Nor enough customs/SPS clearance staff.
2/ meaning port discharge areas/clearing agents warehouses full to over capacity
3/ meaning LoLo service hauliers continental side won't start their journies.
& Container ships will "blank" (bypass) UK ports & discharge UK boxes on the continent
4/ meaning more UK destined cargo (UK essential imports) is perversely ever more reliant on EU drivers running through EU door to UK door on driver accompanied RoRo services
It *is* shameful of the whole UK establishment in not pointing out (despite many brexity claims the GFA has nothing to do with the EU) that the stability of Ireland was very largely made possible by the EU (SM/CU)..in that both countries joined the Single Market together in 1993
paving the way for that wholly open
...only made possible by shared CTA/shared customs (union) territory/shared (single) market standards territory...
no target 'furniture' nor officialdom border
I have tried to use analogies before for UK leaving the EU but perhaps my son has come up with the best one. Imagine Yorkshire wanted to leave UK's customs territory and its shared market standards territory;
to take 'control of its borders' 1/
to create a separate customs territory & separate market standards territory to the UK union single market. Further Yorkshire wanted no close alignment at all on standards nor tariffs. Only the people of Yorkshire were allowed to live/work/study/retire etc in Yorkshire 2/
the rest of UK needed a visa to do so. The UK therefore had no choice, but to control its borders with Yorkshire with reflected visa requirements & for fear of Yorkshire's lower substandard food etc & lower tariffed goods being smuggled across the borders into UK territory. 3/
