Really?  Crikey.  Fair play.

 

I thought I was West 77 or something, have you moved onto another juvenile attempt at an incorrect past user name?

 

What is it with you and user names, it's all so childish, does it give you a buzz or something?

No.

 

Why the obsession?

 

It's really really strange.

The doom gloomers were saying the UK service sector would suffer as a consequence of Brexit.  That clearly is not the case.

 

Of course the UK should be aiming to export more manufactured goods.  The UK based motoring industry is increasing sales every month.  The UK should also be aiming to produce more of its own food.

 

It is still early days for Brexit and the new opportunities will be taken as every month passes.  The future is looking very good.

It clearly is the case that the UK service sector has suffered as a result of Brexit. There are now 388,000 fewer jobs in the financial sector since Brexit.

 We no longer have a British owned motor industry,  we build them for other countries businesses and that's where the majority of the profits go. It wouldn't matter if we'd never had a motor industry in this country but we had, and then sold it.

 

As for joining another Trade Bloc on the other side of the planet, that is pure smoke and mirror nonsense to convince the gormless and gullible.

First of all, what happened to ' Take Back Control '?   We left a Trade Bloc where we had participated in agreeing the terms and conditions and joined one where the terms and conditions had already been agreed by other countries and we had to accept them in order to join. That's a clear loss of control, we are reduced to order takers without input.

Have a look at that, Badenoch once again talking hyped up nonsense designed to fool the gullible and having it debunked by Loughborough University.

Yay! Good old BoJo (and Rees-Mogg).

"New post-Brexit UK border controls coming into force later this month will cost British businesses £2bn and fuel higher inflation, according to a report warning that UK-EU trade will be damaged as a result.

With less than a month before the introduction of new checks on animal and plant products from 30 April, the insurer Allianz Trade said the controls agreed under Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal could add 10% to import costs over the first year.

Ministers last week revealed that businesses could be charged up to £145 for each consignment imported through Dover, prompting warnings that this would drive up food prices and disproportionately hurt small businesses.

The Allianz report said that the checks, part of the government’s “border target operating model” (Btom), would affect £21bn of agricultural product imports, including eggs, live trees and plants, meat and fish, covering about 3% of all UK imports.

These new costs were the equivalent to adding a 10% tariff on these imports, it said, with Allianz indicating that EU companies would be likely to pass on these costs to UK customers."

Clearly? Based on ancient, out of date data... odd that none "Kemi" based news outlets appear to have an entirely different take:

The shocking underperformance of the London stock market is no longer just a global humiliation but a national crisis.

Meanwhile, UK goods exports to the EU and RoW have nosedived.

 

We no longer have any trade deal with Canada whatsoever, our imports from the EU have skyrocketed... along with the price of those goods, entirely as a result of Brexit!

 

The Brexit bad news continues to gain speed, and scope... the problems and costs it has created are continuing to increase, they are not receeding.

Hang on a minute!  This sort of thing wasn't supposed to happen! 

 

Look who's trying to smarmy their way up to little old UK.

It's as though they've lost out on something although they seem to want a lot of conditions?  My first reaction would be "Well, you're coming to us, so we're in the boss seat.  What's in it for us first & foremost?   We'll go away & have a good long think & eventually get back to you, EU.   You're not really a priority for us at the moment."
