I voted to leave the EU. That has happened.
We have an agreed deal. That in my opinion is good.
The U.K. is striking trade deals almost weekly with countries outside the EU (You continue to fail to acknowledge this). That again is a good thing.
The deal has been in place for 1 month only. There were always going to be some who would be disappointed with any deal, I acknowledge this.
However, whilst you wallow in the negativity, I continue to see a brighter future.
Finally, I have a number of friends in senior positions in companies and one a CEO. I have kept in touch with them and whilst one has said yes working with his EU trade partners there is extra paperwork to be completed. However; providing you plan appropriately in advance this is not to onerous a task. Another has advised they started exploring alternative markets over a year ago and the business is growing (Electronics). They s as Lao said the vast majority of the problems they have experienced isn’t as a result of Brexit but due to Covid restrictions ( Companies they deal with having reduced production).
I am sure you can find companies in opposing positions, as you would but trying to say it’s all doom and gloom is wrong.
Okay
Whilst you also wallow in your positivity.
It appears clear that your are not economically negatively effected.
Certainly many businesses are stepping up. I tick that box tho the costs and haste is something thrust upon me against my will. Certainly there are many businesses that are not like the one you refer too. success of any UK business is good and it is certainly not all doom and gloom.
I simply ask you what benefits from your vote can I expect going forward and how is the UK government going to make these positives happen and work? The we won so shut up and put up is simply not good enough.
Given it is now all done and dusted.
Is it not reasonable to insist that all the NEW trade deals be in place before the divorce; instead of the panic mode we find ourselves in. Is it not unreasonable that the industries that I have referred too, be "ready" for the new protocols? Is it not reasonable for the people of Northern Island to have the hard won security of the GF agreement to be upheld and kept sacred. The list of failures goes on.
Yes ,I struggle to wallow in your positivity. I feel for those that are immediately in loss because of poor preparation and poor leadership.
Brexit Boris must take responsibility and address the issues . I think the Covid screen blows smoke over the problem. Post Covid I hope your promise of more new trade deals and unprecedented new orders from far distant shores proves me wrong and all the fishermen and performers and financial businesses and thousands of businesses in Brexit loss can prosper. I hope the £ trillion lost revenue and 10,oo jobs from financial services can be won back and pushed forward.
And that's besides all the more personel issues upon freedoms of travel, visas , insurance , healthcare , security etc. loss of EU citizenship.
Hey but its great to be British, but wait …. just like I always have been!!
