You don't speak foreign languages. And your 'Polish workers' are in fact some illegals from Asia.

I don't need to speak foreign languages I am British. I am also not from a victim culture so I don't suffer from an inferiority complex. I have no illegals from asia working for me. I do however have some Polish workers and they are brilliant.

So here we have 2 cretins who are arguing that it's difficult to set up businesses in the UK (strangely enough in areas they know nothing about) but I still am waiting for specifics and details.

I suspect the truth is something else: a low IQ, and hence lack of critical faculties, means such people are prey to tabloid propaganda and other bollux.

I thought we did not make anything any more? You are contradicting yourself.

Try and get any buildiing product or chemical tested and certified to EU /TGV standards costs an absolute fortune.

TÜV I presume?

But trying to sell it out side Piddleton-on-the-Inbred without getting it tested or certified would leave you bankrupt. Do you think you'll suddenly not have to comply with TÜV standards outside the EU? You will if you want to sell anything to anybody with a brain because almost every industry has its own safety standards independent of governments, to comply with the requirements of insurance.

It's due to the Dutch government reducing regulation so that it can compete with other EU countries like Britain, Ireland and so on; the EU did absolutely nothing to stop NL reducing its legislation on company formation or business start-ups. Oh, and 25 years ago the UK was in the EC, which is basically what I'm trying to defend.

Africa & Brunei weren't.

Africa & Brunei weren't.

But the UK still trades with Africa and Brunei, or not?

Exactly.

And those requirements are dictated by the large manufacturing companies and the insurance companies aided and abetted by an EU and UK government with a ridiculously risk averse attitude.

Erm, do you somehow think those 'large manufacturing companies and the insurance companies' would be more docile without the EU and UK government?

We didn't for a long period.
Look up the meaning of "renaissance", it's rather a long word I know.

Getting it up to EU standards will mean it's top quality and can compete against US, Oz and other countries in markets like China and India.
Or would you rather we went back to making standardless crap like in the 70s?
How would that be of benefit?

Seriously its lucky you make your living in such a simple way, you're such a dumbkopf

Let us run a list of all businesses that would now be impossible for a "man in the street" to start from scratch:
I will start:

Banking, Insurance, pensions, vehicle manufacturing, chemical manufacturing. Pharmaceuticals The list is endless.

We are left with what ? software development , setting up a recruitment business (the only worthwhile ethical business left), selling the big issue

Clientco is a manufacturer building a large, complex materials handling system for Nairobi airport right now; it has to comply with all the EU and TÜV-like standards, because the African customer has taken over those standards to ensure that;
- it can handle customers from all over the world, fulfilling their safety requirements
- it gets a quality product
The same applies to all the other customers, so regardless of the EU, clientco has to fulfill EU regulations.
