Another new Brexit thread

Same.

Our economy is far more important and selfishly I don’t go on holiday for 3 weeks, never mind months so I’m not that arsed.

I am sure you’ll get a working visa if anyone needs one.

My concern is a no deal impacting the economy and us losing more colleagues on top of this horror show of a year.
You’re right. It’s no big deal to most people, however there are dozens of these little annoyances that individually get dismissed as no big deal, but the accumulation of them becomes a bit more noticeable. It was always going to be the case that there wasn’t a single thing that makes Brexit shit but all of them combined certainly do.
 
Have I got this right? Right wing press complaining about the dossier about the cost of Covid tiers not telling the whole story, but still ok that the government has not released its estimates of the costs of Brexit?

I know it’s going to be tough, but you’ll just have to knuckle down and purchase those clothing brands from a company that pays VAT in this country instead.

It's a tiny distributor that restricts membership to 250k people globally to distribute reduced designer stuff - sort of like an online TK-Max. Their business model is not viable in the UK post-brext as direct imports of clothing without EU tariffs will undercut even their discounts. Essentially one of the few tangible good news stories about brexit.

In other words ’a barrier to trade’. Why is a barrier to trade ‘a good news story’?

As brexit sob stories go, he didn't exactly choose the most empathic one to lament over.

A bit of a snobbish example, to be honest.

Another one to add to the "Death by a thousand cuts" that is a not unreasonable metaphor for Brexit.

No Bob, BestSecret are becoming nonviable in the UK due to us removing a trade barrier - the EU tariff on clothing. This means their discounting model doesn't work anymore as imports to the UK free of EU tariffs undercut even their ability to discount.
