Political relations between UK-EU

[RabidCity]

London based shipping company (I won’t mention until public) whom our company have close ties with are relocating to Denmark with Brexit being the main cause - the employees have the option to work there or redundancy.
it’s a real shame, I know a lot of the people there and have a beer up with them once in a while.

As I’ve said earlier in the thread, I’m close to a business that’s moving manufacturing back to the UK from Eastern Europe (moved there 15 years ago for cheap labour at the cost of numerous redundancies in the UK). I don’t imagine there’s a net benefit but some of this will even out. A lot of messing really to play with jobs/lives etc.

What is the driver to them moving back?

All the products are sold to the UK market

And presumably labour costs in the UK are anticipated to go down as unemployment increases. Eventually the whole economy will rebalance to become lower cost lower wage with people who have lost their jobs due to them going to the EU picking up less well paid ones as some manufacturing repatriates to serve the UK market. Totally the opposite of being a globally trading nation. Lower imports, lower exports, less choice. There will be some beneficiaries but overall there will be a negative impact IMO.

are they flag makers who only make Union Flags and Crosses of St George? If so I can see why they feel the move will be beneficial.

Express readers must be so blinkered, ignorant and dumb. There are no new rules they are not cherry picking the EU is applying to the existing rules which we were instrumental in drawing up which were designed to keep imports from 3rd countries out. There is only one reason we are a 3rd country - "the will of the people" including fishermen so it is rather tought titty as they were warned

Brexit fishing row erupts: Fishermen hit out at EU 'cherry picking'

A UK fishing chief has lashed out at the European Union and accused the bloc of double standards over its post-Brexit fishing rights, after it emerged large swaths of shellfish caught in UK waters are set to be banned from entering European markets.

Makes sense to avoid the trade barriers. Where does the company source its raw materials from? I don‘t know what the company manufactures so this question may be redundant.

Headline is "hits out at EU" whereas he's really hitting out at Liar Johnson's deal (take a bow, Mr Frost).

Funny how the Express suddenly thinks being an "independent coastal state" doesn't sound so good now.
