Nope, not really. Edit: Though doubtless it will be viewed that way and put that way by too many people.

Genie Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Derbyshire cheese maker upset at £180 post-Brexit Stilton fee Quote One of the few dairies allowed to make Stilton said it has had to stop sales to the European Union (EU) since Brexit. Hartington Creamery at Pikehall, Derbyshire, said the paperwork needed for each order was costing too much. It added, however, that sales have "surged" in the US and Canada. The government said it was working closely with traders adjusting to the new arrangements. Simon Spurrell, the director of Hartington Creamery, said each parcel, pallet or container of Stilton required a veterinary surgeon certificate costing £180 per destination. With the average online order costing just £30, he said there was "absolutely no way" they could continue with what was a lucrative online sales business before Brexit. "About 20% of our overall online turnover was with the EU," he said. "We've had that completely and utterly wiped off overnight." Link Another one that fell through the gaps of the incredible trade deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 In revenge for the DUP having been given what the DUP voted for, the DUP intend to stop the Irish Language Act until the DUP get what they want. I wonder if at any point, at the end of a quiet evening, any of them sit there, with a glass of whiskey and think to themselves ‘well we **** this up’?

What a couple of doom merchants you are. Come one, what's that up your sleeve? Show us the chart of all the massive increases in exports which dwarf those losses to Brazil, India, Australia etc. We must surely be creaming it in now? I hear they love a bit of Red Leicester in Uraguay. And don't tell me we're not shipping millions of tons of beef to Argentina. No? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
