Exactly what we expected, as we are no longer a member of your precious club, as you remainers so frequently remind us. The realms of red tape are all the 'NEW' regulations brought in by the EU to punish the U.K. For having the audacity to leave, hence my belief we would be better off on WTO.

 

I don't run an export / import business in U.K., so wouldn't know the difference between trading with the EU under the WA and regular WTO terms, but I would happily bet WTO is way less onerous.

 

Rejoin the CU & SM - in your dreams....

I do run an Export / Import business and trade under WTO terms. I've heard this argument so many times on this and other threads. If anyone has a problem with the paperwork its for  1 of 2 reasons. Either they don't like the small amount of extra work it causes them or they can't read and write. 

 

The counter argument that Brexit is causing endless problems pails into insignificance compared to the bureaucratic nightmare we became embroiled in over the last 40 years.

Here’s one indisputable benefit for those that will live the rest of their lives out unable to accept where we are with the decision to leave the EU.

If we had stayed in the EU the vaccine rollout would have been dictated by Brussels. Not only would that have meant a delay in recovery from a health perspective, it also means the UK’s financial recovery will be much faster than the rest of the EU.

 

I can’t believe people are still hanging onto the ‘it will be / has been a disaster’.

 

Firstly you cant isolate Covid from the scenario, thus it’s impossible to evaluate accurately the impact of Brexit. My business has witnessed sweet fanny adams impact due to Brexit; Covid-19 restrictions are decimating my business. Finally and to all those concerned about trade, containerisation from the 1960’s to date has contributed more to world trade than all the trade agreements in the same period.

Every EU country had the sovereign right to set its own vaccine policy.

Here's an article showing the devastating effect of Brexit on UK businesses.
