My small business doing well in GB. I previously could look to Ireland, NI or continent to make some new contacts with no customs/market compliance extra hassles.I could throw a few exhibits & display equipment in back of my van & take onto a ferry still inside my internal market
to attend any exhibit across my continent. I now have the mammoth "red tape" of customs formalities inc RoO, carnets & proving compliance with health & CE certification. Please tell me how I will replace these business opportunities with your NZ "cutting red tape" opportunities?
Will I avoid the customs formalities including carnets (& certs of origin now needed for my former internal market) and the market compliance proof certifications?
How do I as easily exhibit there in NZ or indeed start making good 12,000 miles away cemented contacts. ?
Do I (12 hour time zone difference) start working nights or expect my potential business partners to do so to accommodate my normal daily working hours? Forgive me but somehow
I don't see how this will compensate the former expansive opportunties I had in NI/IE/NL/FR/DE etc

So I (and others of course) 5 years long warned out of the SM/CU
regardless of *any* "Canada Style Deal"/FTA would mean

1) Reduced to wholly lost trade/service providing/working/retirement/travel rights & benefits across our continent. Tick
2) an intractable problem with the shared customs territory & shared regulatory territory across the British border in Ireland. Tick
3) pummeled and utterly fucked GB sales in EU as EU buyers progressively find other internal market suppliers. Tick
4) shortages and long term reduced choice at much higher rocketing prices in GB as EU suppliers without massively raised selling prices consider it not worth the hassle. Semi Tick (as UK Gov still too afraid to fully implement its brexit its side)

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.

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

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
