Do Snivel Serpents ever stop to think before they speak, or reporters before they write?
With Banks & the Retail sector using the Coronavirus to push for a cash free society, is Brexit being used to bamboozle us?
Bad numbers

Yes Japan will be % tariff, but read the article.
58% of the market is from China which gets 1.7% cheaper.
The majority of 20% is made in the Netherlands so 6% dearer
The remaining 22% are own brands or smaller brands with some made in Japan.
So not a very big deal then, sorry DIT. Better luck next time.

Are we finally done?
'Deal is fantastic news,' says No 10

Here is the government's statement: "Everything that the British public was promised during the 2016 referendum and in the general election last year is delivered by this deal."

"We have taken back control of our money, borders, laws, trade and our fishing waters
"The deal is fantastic news for families and businesses in every part of the UK.
"We have signed the first free trade agreement based on zero tariffs and zero quotas that has ever been achieved with the EU.

"The deal is the biggest bilateral trade deal signed by either side, covering trade worth £668bn in 2019.
"The deal also guarantees that we are no longer in the lunar pull of the EU, we are not bound by EU rules, there is no role for the European Court of Justice and all of our key red lines about returning sovereignty have been achieved.
"It means that we will have full political and economic independence on 1st January 2021."

"A points-based immigration system will put us in full control of who enters the UK and free movement will end.
"We have delivered this great deal for the entire United Kingdom in record time, and under extremely challenging conditions, which protects the integrity of our internal market and Northern Ireland’s place within it.
"We have got Brexit done and we can now take full advantage of the fantastic opportunities available to us as an independent trading nation, striking trade deals with other partners around the world."

What of those deals so far?...

And for what percentage of our dealing with the EU?...


There are politics yet that are yet to play out...

Here's hoping that positive cooperation wins out over scoring petty points of mutual vandalism!

Is that phrase about "all for one and one for all" to be forsaken just for the sake of who might have used that phrase?...

Welcome to the 3rd decade of the 21st century - Brexit style
lmao

Tcht!

'Tis merely the mis-clicks of a techno ignorant flunky trying to boost their score with a little copy 'n' paste plagiarism.

If that were to be taken legally literally, then the consequences are outdatedly silly...

Hopefully in the cool time of reflection, everyone will see sense to make a cooperative update to keep the internet running uninterrupted!

Knowing a few (so called) government IT ex-spurts I would say that is par for their course. Indeed I'm a little shocked that the baseline wasn't set at Windows 3.x..........

Another case of...
The plot came at a time of poor Anglo-French relations as President Charles de Gaulle repeatedly stopped the UK joining the European Community.
...if only...
They took De Gaulle seriously instead of playing tit-for-tat political games...

Only reverting to the restrictions applied to most if not all international borders.

And how many Americans know the import restrictions applied by Hawaii.

So many people haven't twigged yet that borders have two sides.

And our much-vaunted new 'sovereignty' only applies to one of them.

You'll lose your ham and cheese sandwich if you bring it with you to Australia as well and likely be fined for doing so. ;-)

Since nearly every state in the continental US has ag control stations on the main roads, I'd venture a lot of people do know.
