Not enough partying going on...

Yep, the real mayhem hasn’t started. Just wait until July. At present, for SPS checks (food basically) all agents have to do is fill in a notification on a government system. There’s no “official checks” so the food items, currently, can cross the border with quite easily.

As of July, documentation will need to be checked, any mistakes can cause the consignment to be delayed; then you have 1% physical checks of alongside this with goods be subject to this via legislative means.

Nobody is prepared, authorities are still under staffed, there’s not enough qualified people in the job market to support the massive requirements to fill these vacancies.

It’s a mess

These are bona fide things that the government are trying to palm off as benefits of Brexit. Pete et al, you've been had off.

And, elect a populist shītberq and turn our democracy into a foul corrupt swamp with a populist veneer - don't expect our own citizen's to stick around if they are in demand elsewhere.
