  1. I suspect the financial magnitude of the actual trade is more of a factor.
  2. What a ridiculous qualification. A supermarket would only need one customer to not be ‘completely empty’. But do not despair. UK Gov and the trade associations publish trading data. We can rely on that rather than ridiculously qualified questions or equally ridiculous claims of ‘own observations’.
  3. From the parliamentary Committee report I have linked; One of the great promises of Brexit was freeing British businesses to give them the headroom to maximise their productivity and contribution to the economy – even more desperately needed now on the long road to recovery from the pandemic. Yet the only detectable impact so far is increased costs, paperwork and border delays.” Wriggle away.
  4. I haven’t claimed Brexit is the only cause of delays. I have stated the delays caused by Brexit are knowable. Refer UK Parliamentary Committee, link attached: https://committees.parliament.uk/committee/127/public-accounts-committee/news/160856/clear-increase-in-costs-paperwork-and-border-delays-for-uk-business-since-brexit-not-helped-by-repeated-delays-to-new-import-regime/
  5. Refer my last post backed up with a link from a UK Parliamentary committee, here’s the link again: https://committees.parliament.uk/committee/127/public-accounts-committee/news/160856/clear-increase-in-costs-paperwork-and-border-delays-for-uk-business-since-brexit-not-helped-by-repeated-delays-to-new-import-regime/
  6. Too easy: ““One of the great promises of Brexit was freeing British businesses to give them the headroom to maximise their productivity and contribution to the economy – even more desperately needed now on the long road to recovery from the pandemic. Yet the only detectable impact so far is increased costs, paperwork and border delays.” https://committees.parliament.uk/committee/127/public-accounts-committee/news/160856/clear-increase-in-costs-paperwork-and-border-delays-for-uk-business-since-brexit-not-helped-by-repeated-delays-to-new-import-regime/ Wriggle away.
  7. No it wasn’t. The delays and increased paperwork due to Brexit are knowable by businesses subjected to those delays and increased paperwork. The war in Russia is not increasing paperwork and delays in shipping to the UK’s largest foreign market, the EU COVID (already slipping into history) is not increasing paperwork and delays in shipping to the UK’s largest foreign market, the EU wriggle away
  8. Here you go: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-11-16/british-businesses-give-up-on-exports-due-to-brexit-red-tape https://www.bbc.com/news/business-64052849
  9. Which is why data is better than personal opinion.
  10. If you didn’t see it already it’s too late. Venus, Mercury and Pluto* have just passed below the western horizon. * Yes I know.
  11. And yet once again, the UK is the only G7 nation whose economy has not yet recovered to pre-pandemic levels.
  12. Brexit is the only factor increasing paperwork and creating shipping delays to the UK’s largest trading partner the EU.
  13. Which is why opinions based on unsubstantiated claims don’t carry the weight of opinions based on verifiable facts.
  14. UK businesses are very aware of how much trade they’ve lost and they are certainly aware of increased costs , increased paperwork and delays.
  15. As I was saying: https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/nassau-county-prosecutors-open-investigation-into-rep-elect-george-santos/4018125/
  16. It’s never been self inflicted, and past performance is no guarantee of future returns.
  17. The damage being done by Brexit is continuing, it’s becoming more apparent and it’s impacting people’s lives. The denial and even the unwillingness of politicians to discuss the matter are becoming less tenable by the day. There are no ‘warm sunlit pastures’, Brexit promises are failing by the day. Sit back and watch it unravel.
  18. Cassidy Hutchinson is precisely the kind of person the GOP needs. 26 years old, taking the stand and telling the truth, regardless of the consequences to herself. She put her country before her Political Party And before her self. She’s an outstanding citizen. Far too good for the traitors, insurrectionists and lackies to America’s enemies that is today’s GOP. The icing on the cake is she’s a millennial, standing up and showing the haters how duty is done.
  19. Perhaps it does, but has no relevance to the problems the UK is facing right now.
  20. This’ll play well to the religious zealots on the SCOTUS. They’ll see a similarity with white smoke coming from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel.
  21. But you aren’t living in the UK. Refer topic at top of the thread
  22. They’ve quoted ONS data. https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/deaths/bulletins/excesswintermortalityinenglandandwales/previousReleases
  23. Is there any fragment of a straw you won’t grasp in an attempt to avoid facing the facts surrounding Trump and his administration’s corruption and criminality?
