Some EU specialist firms stop delivering to the UK because of tax changes that took effect on 1 January.
We Remainers knew that - and said so - all along, which is why we campaigned against the insanity of Brexit.
How about the BBC reports about the EU vaccination disaster, which is everywhere in the news in Germany today (Bild, Focus, etc.)? Good that we have procured our own shots rather than letting incapable Brussels deal with our health.
Removed
Yes so far Germany 332, Great Britain 1,000,000 and counting, Great being part of the EU, I think not.........
There is no UK vaccine, It is still manufactured in the EU
Um, health care is the remit of national health authorities, not the EU, so Brussels never dealt with our health. Stop peddling untruths.
This is a desperate red herring comment because there are no benefits in respect of the deal. Plus of course our Services are effectively subject to a No Deal outcome.
We did that before we left the transition period and would have done so with or without Brexit.

Why? A cogent reason would be nice..
They have no point, whatsoever. This is just petulance; hell mend them!
"Dutch Bike Bits said from now on, it would ship to every country in the world except the UK: We are forced by British policy to stop dealing with British customers."
So the shipping of parts to, say, Angola is fine, but it can't ship to the UK? It's infantile!
Fine! Their competitors will do it and DBB will lose business!

No body wants to trade with?
That'll be why we've rolled over & improved most deals we had with nations as EU members & negotiated 30 or more others
All in less than a year
While EU much vaunted CETA after 7yrs, 2yrs later, still not fully ratified, neither is their Japan deal
So much for 'tiny Britain' no one wants to trade with

The idiot retort is to "buy British".
Yes, of course we should back British sellers/makers but if we don't buy from elsewhere then elsewhere won't buy from us, damaging our exporters and our global competitiveness.
Don't these Quitters care about UK jobs and livelihoods?

Seems like the remainers have something to vent their sad little spleens about. Bol'ck5 to Dutch bicycle parts and sub standard brew. I'm sure this great country will soon be able to knock out a few bike pieces and we already have too many European beers on the shelves anyway !!! Buy British manufactured parts and drink British beers. Be PROUD to be British and support British industry !
What a bunch of arrogant scum. Shunning the UK due to tax charges but shipping to anywhere else in the world!
That's nothing to do with taxes and everything to do with RACISM.
Most of the rest of the world trades with the EU on WTO terms, meaning far more paper work and taxes than are involved in shipping to the UK where we have a free trade agreement.
I will no longer buy dutch products!

Who cares? It's worth such minor hassle just as long as we can turn back the constant flow of invaders.
Brexthickos don't get this even slightly; they think it's literally about beer and bikes. Let's keep this simple: this has implications for ANY business that is obliged to import ANYTHING from the EU (including mine - there are components I can only get from Germany because no UK firm makes them). Maybe you work for one? Do you even know? Anyway, enjoy the knock-on effects. You voted for them.

I voted leave and am increasingly glad that I did. The sheer amount of vileness and evil that I see spewed by remainers against their fellow citizens convinces me that I made the right choice. These people would whoop with joy at the deaths of others if they thought it proved their political point. Sickening. They should go and live elsewhere if they are so unhappy here.

“The UK has made a mistake. Time to call a referendum to rejoin the EU.“

Ok, but only if there are 2 rejoin options:
1) stay outside the EU
2) Rejoin the EU - with no conditions
3) Rejoin with guaranteed and automatic leave in the future, and so not become part of federal United States of Europe.
3 choices. Non-binary.
Suck it up remainers.
Remember “no deal”?

During the Brexit debate, a lot was made about level playing fields and worker's rights. Yet 50% of the fruit and veg in our supermarkets comes from Almeria, in the south of Spain, where the work is carried out by African migrant workers living in slums on half the minimum wage. That is the EU's level playing field and their workers rights.

This is a price worth paying to the Brexiteer racists. Not interested in economics just fantasies of superiority and exceptionalism. We are now beginning to see the reality of what they voted for
Take a look at the shouty Brexiteers Jim RATcliff and James Dyson. Got Brexit, then betrayed the country, fleeing overseas and betraying promises made to British workers. Farage fled to Germany. Johnson senior to Greece (with his new French passport) Look exactly as you'd imagine. Slimy gammons

No-one knows where beer was first invented, but Germany and Belgium taught the world about fine beer, especially fine hop breeding

17.4 million angry Grandads. I never knew there were anything like that many in the UK.Thanks for telling us that. That explains a lot. If only some other's had been allowed to vote. Why can't everyone be as intelligent as you obviously are? You're not just a 'faux' Geordie are you?

1st step is to just admit it, We didn't get what we were sold. Even ardent Brexiters accept it as a fact.

the way i understand this is that an item online in britain is say £60 with VAT included, may only be £50 from a EU country. However on arrival at an entry point, the item is held until VAT is paid, in this case £10, making the item the same price. However the EU country / business did not need to make this clear and so quite rightly could advertise it cheaper.

The UK voted out because of their racist backward ways. Now eat your cake and stuff it. The world has moved on and the UK has been left behind. They are selling every British owned company in the country to the (rich) foreigners. Germans don't sell their companies, Japanese don't and neither do the yanks. The British are selling up.. Its a sinking ship old boy.
Looks like all of us are in this boat whether we like it or not, we are all LEAVERS now, so it’s probably time to eat and drink mostly British, it would definitely please the GREENS if we ate seasonal homegrown food and manufactured how own clothing again instead of using cheap Chinese & Indian products, let’s stop exploiting cheap labour, think, eat, drink and buy BRITISH! ????

Oh, we might still be there! haha - Not!

Exactly as expected and predicted. Just the beginning really, which will hits Brexit voters in the pocket and will make no difference at all for those who are already cashing in from this - hedge funds, currency traders and real estate. Same as 2008 - Tories did this to keep their friends happy and rich, and we will all pay for this and Covid taxes for 10 years. Time to wake up, UKnot!
Oh dear. How utterly pathetic the BBC and their Remainer fanboys are. It really is about time the lot of you grew up - a complete embarrassment. Try thinking for yourselves instead of being told what to think for once. Awful bunch.
