    More money to be made in importing US “whisky” that doesn’t need to go through any ageing process, and relabelling that as Scotch. Cheap booze will go down a treat in the North East once the manufacturing moves out.
    I thought 60% of employment in North East was related to HMRC?

    Agreed.

    Particularly those who run hedge funds and advise their clients not to invest in the U.K. (Redwood, JRM, etc). Plenty of money to be made in chaos.

    Or those of us that work in supply chains and have EU passports so we can work to move warehouses and routes away from the U.K.

    But not many Brexiteers are enterprising or young enough to make a go of noshing Operation Stack continental lorry drivers for hard currency.

    You're not even enterprising enough to become a contractor. What opportunities do you think Brexit has for the likes of you?

    In which case why is Germany China’s largest trading partner? EU rules don’t prevent any member state from trading outside the EU. That’s how France can do more trade with the US than the UK does. What holds Britain back are domestic issues like our low productivity, our lack of investment in skills and the fact that we don’t make enough of what the world wants to buy. “Global Britain” is a slogan, not a policy.

    The jam will be for export only.
