Single Market / Customs Union - A Tragic Loss

[le bon paysan]

Well said. Those politicians who drove Brexit over the line, never reared sheep, or caught fish in the ocean, to get them to market in EU in pristine fresh condition. If they had, they might have had different ideas ....

Yes, France imposing new restrictions, it's almost as if they're a Sovereign nation!

Can we rename this thread 'echo chamber' please?

Latest Ipsos poll shows only 28% now support brexit

It doesn’t really matter now though. The deed is done, the ship has sailed and what’s done is done (enough cliches for you @7610 super q ?).

We all just have to get on with it now, and hope we can indeed thrive mightily.

Jean Castex tonight , announcing stricter measures in France.

"All those arriving into France from outside the EU will have to have a negative Covid test within 72 hours, isolate for 7 days and then have another negative Covid test"

What lorry drivers are going to come to the uk now?

Simply proves how provocative and self serving the EU had become to save their own necks - as the drivers going from Ireland / into Ireland on the nice new ferry runs will obviously not be the same threat for Covid transmition for some remarkable reason...

The simple act of actively trying to thwart any potential smooth transition in this manner should be condemned imho - as this can lead to very dangerous situations for all, but then I fear this may be the ulterior motive for some..

Sad times indeed, but expected nthing more to be honest..

Yup, it’s a two way street but now with bollards and chicanes. Thankfully I just missed the era of chicanes in stage rallying. Many uses for round bales eh?

yep, 130mph down a loose track between trees seemed the best thing in the world , when I was 20.
Not so sure now, having just passed 60

I know the feeling. When you’ve been upside down you realise talent has a limit!

Just echoes the sintiment of what I am saying.. But thank you for the accolade, as it will be intertesting to see the long game, and not simply focus the current initial issues..

Yes thankfully
just a shame it wasnt to Mars out the bloody way

Come on! Get a grip. There was life before the customs Union and the EU. There will be life afterwards. As I’ve said before; it’s people that make things difficult not mass populations. Politics is “full of kids playing in the sand” They need to live in the real world.

Well, we have had containers sitting in Bristol for a week unable to be customs cleared as they don't know how to process the paperwork. Now gone higher up in HMRC. The expensive 'joke' is they are duty free goods. Demurrage charges are escalating.
Also, we've had to tell two good Irish Republic customers that we cannot trade with them until a customs process is devised.
Brilliant, well done everyone.

But at least we have our sovereignty back ffs..
