It's not the lorries that get rejected that's the problem, it's the lorries that won't travel because of this tulip in the first place - UK imports more stutt from EU than exports, so that's a real problem.

Well as so few fail at our border is it possible they are misguided or are you saying its the EU's fault that we can't trade?Comment

The fault is with whichever side wanted Brexit in the first place.Originally posted by vetran View PostWell as so few fail at our border is it possible they are misguided or are you saying its the EU's fault that we can't trade?

You know normally people who don't want the other party to leave a relationship and put obstacles in their way would be considered abusive?Comment

This is true, but the other party has left now and both parties seem aware of that. So your comment is irrelevant.Originally posted by vetran View PostYou know normally people who don't want the other party to leave a relationship and put obstacles in their way would be considered abusive?Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

Crap analogy, it's like to say when one party (say you as contractor) want to break the contract with your client, but the client does not want it (and insist on agreed terms) then somehow that makes client abusive.Originally posted by vetran View PostYou know normally people who don't want the other party to leave a relationship and put obstacles in their way would be considered abusive?
The relationship here is contractual, not sexual, unless in your mind EU was f***ing Britannia all these decades.Comment

The Brexiteers aren't obsessed with restarting the relationship, how their EX is suffering by their "idiotic decision" to leave the relationship or controlling their EX. Sadly many remoaners and the EU seem to be, maybe just they are just insane stalkers then?Originally posted by NotAllThere View PostThis is true, but the other party has left now and both parties seem aware of that.

Well once the contract has expired - as it did then any future business needs to be mutually agreed.Comment

It did not expire, it was brutally cancelled without much thought on what nextOriginally posted by vetran View PostWell once the contract has expired - as it did then any future business needs to be mutually agreed.Comment

Strange one side voted to leave. We gave notice and set a date as agreed , the date of the decree absolute passed, now we hear the EU want to pop round and sit on the sofa. Creepy EX.
What is next is us not being part of an ever closer union. It was 40 years of being in the EU we had our Empire longer than that, hell we were at war with France for longer than that.Comment
