[QUOTE="Ashtree, post: 7351224, member: 3254"] As humans, we have an innate tendency to take what we have for granted. Very often, we don’t appreciate the true meaning or value of something, until it’s gone. Then sadly it can all too often be too late. Barely two weeks into the final Brexit trade deal, I dare say there are many, many businesses today, grappling with a sudden reality, that membership of the single market / customs union, did indeed bring massive benefits. It effectively oiled the wheels of commerce, enabled business and moreover enabled small businesses with limited resources, to trade with minimum friction into and out of a simply massive market, right on the doorstep. Sadly for the vast majority of such businesses, they cannot do like JRM and many others have done, by shifting their business’s to the EU. The people were hoodwinked by the Brexit leadership, in that they were promised a future free of regulatory strangulation, with simultaneous free access to the EU. They were painted a sunny upland with milk and honey. Instead they have been given a barren hillside, handcuffs and sour milk. I dare say, imaginary threats posed by China, are just that in the scheme of things, imaginary. Closer to home, there are now clear and present dangers, engendered by the domestic bourgeoisie and perpetrated on the proletariat. Just sayin, what most people are thinking .... [/QUOTE]
