Don't worry chaps Mrs Mays in charge.
The beef bans were extensively challenged, as in fact Chinese steel has been addressed by the EU (once the UK had to cease its opposition).Rules are easily bent, dont you remember all the excuses used to stop beef exports, all very dodgy but they werent challenged.just like the steel china dumped on the world market
Don't worry chaps Mrs Mays in charge.
Try doing a bit of research, you will find that while the ban was lifted the french carried on banning it, remind did the french have any bse ? was their beef banned from anywhere? If you really believe that the rules get applied quickly and evenly you are sadly mistakenThe beef bans were extensively challenged, as in fact Chinese steel has been addressed by the EU (once the UK had to cease its opposition).
The WTO is not easily flouted.
Thought I would have a read of the blog you linked to. Wished I had not. I shall advise my children to prepare to leave the UK for work and a life. Sad.
I have seen this fella quoted before. Before I slit my wrists, if you have followed his blog over the months what has been his level of accuracy with previous comments / observations / forecasts.
We can take the numerous welfare cases over sow stall pork and other poultry conditions that the EU always strongly enforces it's rules and regulations. In fact it allows much flouting to go on and will do until it ends.The beef bans were extensively challenged, as in fact Chinese steel has been addressed by the EU (once the UK had to cease its opposition).

While the UK government ponders about recruiting more customs officers and building customs facilities at ports it has crossed my mind that the other side of the water will have to do the same - so Calais, Hook of Holland etc.
I presume all the EU ports will require reciprocal facilities and manning of staff for these countries to administer non single market trade for the UK sea border. So what facilities / staffing are there at other non EU country borders with EU. And what and why would Holland / France bother to get a rush on as to them it is just an unplanned cost.
Could we be all ready here in UK for a no deal cliff edge with customs officers etc only to find the trucks get parked on the other side of the channel.
Because they want us to keep buying their things......I presume all the EU ports will require reciprocal facilities and manning of staff for these countries to administer non single market trade for the UK sea border.

Controls are done on import so that will work on incoming to UK but doesnt it need EU to do the same continental side?The way I read into it.
UK Gov are effectively going move the boarder or create a No mans land so lorries can park up or be checked etc.
So it will be done UK side of our seas.
Belfast, Dover, Etc.
Because they want us to keep buying their things...
Thanks, yes I appreciate the want us to keep buying their things - as we buy more than they sell us - I have gotten the hang of that mantra - but in the following post Will 1 says inspection is done on import. I have no idea. So will UK goods be inspected by EU countries on arrival onto the continent or ex UK as suggest by Honest John's post. Just thinking more about the thins we export to EU rather than what is imported into UK.
