But remember, people who voted Leave "knew what they were voting for". The people of Sunderland wanted Nissan to **** off.

Revealing if not surprising to see that your approach to this possible shortfall is to 'pull the ladder up Jack, I'm OK' by stripping the shelves and stockpiling.

This will no doubt result in the elderly and other vulnerable folks going short due to your selfish greed.

Still, so long as you're happy.

I sense I touched a nerve. I will happily point out that I have made frequent donations to local food banks (goods and money) as part of this process so the likelihood of anyone having lost out is minimal. My conscience is clear, how's yours?

(P.S. Don't worry, the irony of a Brexiter having the gall, the sheer bare-faced cheek to accuse anyone else of selfishness was not lost)

Right little saint, aren't we?

After 4 years and thousands of posts, all Brexiteers announce that all they ever wanted was to be out of the EU politic. Mainly, as one by one, their reasons for voting for this car crash have turned out to be bullshit. The are now reduced to 'witty' one liners on forums. It's pretty funny to watch.

Bloody Worthing!
Spare a thought for the poor buggers in Northern Ireland who didn't vote for Brexit and yet will be subject to this sort of thing.

If the current protocol were applied to the letter, a simple ham and cheese sandwich made in Britain and sold in Belfast would need two health certificates to get through the border control posts.

So much for the promise of frictionless trade with the EU - this is within the UK! Alternatively we could put in a hard border between the north and the ROI - and break the GFA.

The hilarious thing is that such a meal has been made of it they will find the clamour to rejoin that body politic they were so desperate to leave will get louder and louder more quickly.

You post the click bait I’ll post the story this goon has linked



U.K. companies are turning to cheaper overseas labor to complete their post-Brexit customs paperwork, creating jobs in countries such as Romania and India due to a shortage of trained staff in Britain.

“Anticipating a surge in demand for its services, Xpediator Plc, which handles freight flows for international companies, has been hiring workers in Romania. Dave Gladen, the firm’s group marketing manager, says the country has a deep pool of expertise in the EU’s customs rules because it only joined the bloc in 2007.”

We have known that we are leaving/have left since 2016. Why haven't we trained up our own British customs officers in the last four years?

I'm sorry, but unless I missed something, isn't that exactly what the goon said on his tweet :shrug:

(It may well be there is more 'tweet' that I can't see as I don't use twitter, but from the bit of the tweet that is showing on NSC).

Well we could have had a reasonable Brexit which fell within the vote mandate... but the far right elite cabal wouldn't let us have it.

"No one is talking about leaving the Single Market".

Jezza could have voted it through. :whistle:

Probably had other things on his mind.

Spare a thought for Gibraltar, who were represented in the EU Parliament by an MEP along with the West Country, who voted 98% to vote Remain. They will have to have a hard border for all the workers and children going to school.
