    Brexit - Can Someone Enlighten Me

    I went down the Brexit route but would add:

    We have one of the worst records in the World for Coronavirus. Boris too slow with everything - students treated like s hit with no rebates/refunds and flights still arriving from China, India etc etc. Lock down - well they are not lock downs compared to Europe as have friends in Spain and Italy!

    Let’s face it most voted Brexit because of the immigration drums banging! What’s Boris done so far? F uck all as he can’t even control those still coming in from across the channel!

    U.K. Exports to the EU - absolutely disastrous for our businesses and many U.K. businesses will go bust. We are getting EU customers going mental paying 45 euros on import and tax charges of goods only worth £90. We can’t absorb these costs as can no U.K. businesses and EU customers will just not buy U.K. goods. It’s that simple!

    If your not a business being screwed by all these extra charges - don’t care about immigration and our appalling Coronavirus handling - this might not bother you!

    So many U.K. businesses will now suffer and some have shut up shop already

    The “Frictionless Free Trade Deal” is utter b o l l o x as I’ve stated previously, my business is 80% down this month.

    It’s a massive lie.

    Given it another month - you will be lucky to have a business as will many including us. Does anyone really think customers in the EU will buy from the U.K. and be absolutely clobbered with high import and taxation charges! EU customers will switch their shopping to other countries. Already companies in Ireland are laughing and taking huge advantage of supplying their EU neighbours without huge import and taxation charges.

    Perhaps we should move our warehouse to Ireland too!!!

    Footfall on the high street risen again as many can’t be bothered with the lock down and many shops bending the rules and opening up. Poundland now open - they have a smattering of food items so classed as essential. No wonder why our deaths from the virus are appalling!

    Hold on a minute - you can’t leave the country but any old c unt can still enter!!!

    My latest bulk delivery which was due to arrive at Amazon’s warehouse in Germany on Tuesday is at this moment, late on Monday evening.........Stanford Le Hope, E s s e x.

    All paperwork etc in perfect order and in the hands of Amazon’s preferred carrier UPS and still it can’t get out.

    The Germans in particular are being total c u n t s.

    My new BMW is due to arrive in a few days, my first new car in five years but I’m seriously considering cancelling it even though I’ll lose my deposit!

    T W A T S!!!

    UPS are as useful as Sawyers will be against Man City! We are f uckin doomed and seriously considering options on business. So many companies pulling the plug and starting up again writing off millions - but can you blame them

    I’m not sure what to be annoyed with more, the handling of covid or this balls up of a brexit issue.

    One things for sure is, our MSM are not doing enough to highlight these issues and problems faced by us all and the livelihoods it’s impacting.

    Why can’t prime ministers Questions Time be done face to face than this pathetic virtual one. I’ve said before, give all our politicians the vaccines so that can really get back to work and be scrutinised properly by the opposition parties. They all do a bad job defending their actions despite notes and answers on their screens in front of them, let see how they manage in reality.

    Something needs to be done to overhaul this incompetent bunch of amateurs.

    I await 9goals ‘nationalist positivity’ to tell us we are doing fine.

    They are indeed Amateurs Regis. On the points above, I would be the first to admit - I was wrong with how I thought this would pan out. The big problem which was highlighted by 123 - how can you combat 1 against 27! Boris has shown in my book he's completely incompetent - trade to the EU is being crippled with these charges and some companies will go bust. Don't get me going on the handling of Covid as it's been shambolic and having almost the worst death figures in the World prove this! I was speaking to a Consultant today ( Surgeon ) on the Nightingale hospitals and was told - there's hardly enough staff ( illness, resignations due to mental health ) to run the hospitals let alone staff the Nightingale Hospitals. There you have it - from the horses mouth so to speak!

    I can't leave the country but thousands still enter daily. Let me think about that for a second - w ankers!

    Attacked by Regis for being positive about our nation. I now know how Healey felt after Howe criticised him and said 'It was like being savaged by a dead sheep'

    I'm very content being positive it's something I'm very good at. Try it sometime you may find it fun.

    PS really like you very radical idea that will make all the difference to all our ills. Change the format of Question Time. Sure fire winner that one.

    Chin up Regis,

    Chin up Regis,

    If you had a U.K. business with a lot of EU customers you would neither be positive or have your chin up. The reality is U.K. businesses are now being financially crippled! We are making almost zero profit now trying to absorb duties and taxes. The alternative is not to absorb them and most EU customers will shop elsewhere.

    Had I no business or no EU customers then perhaps I would not care so much but not just our business but many will now go to the wall! Those that go to the wall will most likely take many thousands if not millions of pounds worth of debts with them - directly or indirectly everyone will pay for this when it happens so everyone should care!

    Boris wants to commemorate the 100,000 who died - maybe he should reflect on his slow actions - Madrid supporters flocking in - horse racing - generally poor and slow responses. Let’s face it - it’s not a proper lock down now compared to some other countries where everything is closed and borders are more sealed!

    PS - you are told not to leave the country but one of our Chinese friends can still enter - in their plane load! Joke
