Dear God, where do they get these people ?
My last posts, of substance, before the one highlighting your wishful thinking, were:I don't have the knowledge of different businesses to say if they will benefit.
And I'm not giving a shining endorsement of brexit. But what do you do. Keep posting stuff about hold ups, paperwork etc. Which may only be short term stuff. If things do go wrong it may give the opportunity for a pro EU party maybe labour to have a manifesto offering a new vote. Maybe the only chance Starmer and labour might have of getting elected tbh.
On BBC local news chairman of Lancashire chamber of commerce says Lancashire has the 4th biggest aerospace industry in the world and that brexit may be of benefit and offers opportunities for expansion. She probably knows better than me!
It seems a lot of the current news stories aren't things that are direct consequences of Brexit but a failure to adequately prepare:
Ex pats in Spain
Shortages of veg
Border checks
Seems to be a adjustment to new rules and regulations which should iron itself out.
Funny how it covering fewer countries that it previously did is being ignored...
'We've got what we had before, it's just not quite as good - in your face remainers' is the new standard apparently
And this, specifically stating that things aren't necessarily always pitched at a side.Not EU but the non EU Schengen area countries. They are included as part of the EHIC but not the GHIC.
Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein.
Around 1m UK tourists to Switzerland each year, 600,000 to Norway.
Not everything posted has to have a 'side' attached to it.
There are things that people post for information and comment. To further/prompt the debate - it's not always loaded.
The UK might have the 4th largest, but I'd be surprised if Lancashire alone did.I don't have the knowledge of different businesses to say if they will benefit.

I'm probably a bit like @roydo here Pete, as my understanding is that the UK had 7 free ports between 1984 and 2012. Aside from the fact that they were clearly created while an EU member, it's also my understanding that the current government let the legislation that supported them lapse, hence why we have no free ports today. Could you explain to me, and perhaps to @roydo too, what were the benefits of those 7 free ports over that 28 year period, and why the current government acted to stop them?
Sorry guys, so important I had to say it three times (no idea how that happened)
Wayne is actually a great friend of mine so it's funny to me to see that article quoted here
Yes and the point from that is surely a function UK government would have made sure it was clear and set in stone before ye left?
Have you ever thought that they are examples of what's going on in the world and instead of focusing completely on the example at hand, that expanding the viewpoint expressed to other industries, shows the impact that Brexit will have on numerous industries. The barriers to doing business with the UK have increased greatly since Jan 1st, that applies from the one guy in Ireland selling posters over the Internet to the European conglomerate who used to do millions a year in Britain but who may well walk away.
Isn't the whole notion of a Freeport that it limits tarriffs in the Freeport zone? We already have an FTA. And that inside a FPA you can effectively defer the paperwork until the final shipping (not really solving the problem)*I'm probably a bit like @roydo here Pete, as my understanding is that the UK had 7 free ports between 1984 and 2012.

I read already but thanks for translatingA spokesman for DB Schenker confirmed the BILD information: “We are temporarily not accepting any new orders.” However, shipments that have already been posted should continue to be delivered “as quickly as possible”.
The problem: incompletely declared shipments cannot be delivered on site. To this end, a larger team of advisors is to be provided to customers in the future: "Employees who have been specially trained for Brexit are able to support customers around the clock in completing the necessary customs papers," says the company.
Just a few days ago, DB Schenker announced under the heading “Brexit? No problem! ”There is optimism that the movement of goods can continue to flow freely if the customs declaration goes smoothly.

That's what they said. Might be worth googling it. Or asking Lancashire chamber of commerce about itThe UK might have the 4th largest, but I'd be surprised if Lancashire alone did.
