Surely even the most rabid mouth breathers from either end of the extremes of this topic would expect a period of time where businesses big and small take time to get used to the new ways of working?
Its 5% of M&S’s total NI stock, it’s not like it’s 95%, while they just get used to new paperwork and when they have to submit it.
It’s barely a story. If this is the level of big Brexit news, I think things are going to be fine.
I swear sometimes you guys do this just to give me something to piss all over. It’s a kindness, it really is, so where do we start? Well, we start with the obvious one.
This is
within our own country. The United Kingdom. You may have heard of it. Possibly not, who knows these days.
But it bears repeating that Brexit, which was meant to liberate us from EU red tape, has so far delivered fresh new red tape and costs
on internal trade within our own sovereign territory. That would be the UK. You understand the implications of that? Not only will this produce higher costs of produce in NI, it is in the long run likely to reconfigure supply chains on an all Ireland economy basis with the EU and bypassing GB.
Furthermore, with reduced GB/NI trade you will get reduced NI/GB trade because although there are no custom barriers (theoretically) on that trade, the supply routes will diminish because lorries delivering goods going from NI to GB are less likely to have a return cargo to make it economic.
And this is just scratching the surface, I’m not even trying that hard to point out why ‘well it’s only 5% and a few forms so what is the fuss?’ is dumb. Although I did wait until you got a few likes from the usual ‘can’t spot the fucking obvious‘ crowd before replying, which is my bad.
