Mobile phone operator Three to hike pay-as-you-go roaming charges

The company, which was one of the major mobile providers that committed to continuing free EU roaming after the end of the Brexit transition period, added that the price hikes were not related to Britain no longer being in the EU.

Even more benefits, less red tape, apparently:

There should be absolutely nothing to complain about as, if you recall, glorious leader said:

‘If somebody asks you (to fill in a form) you tell them to ring up the Prime Minister & I will direct them to throw that form in the bin’

I wonder if anyone has taken him up on his offer

The colonies have gone. As the fishermen have found out, you can't sell fresh fish to India.

The point I made was actually our trade with our land border neighbours in the union is quite high.

Our trade with our European neighbours may not need to be the majority as you incorrectly assert. The trade was with all the colonies not just British ones because they had things we wanted and vice versa. The reason it grew was because transport had improved not because we owned the colonies. Despite the usual lazy history many of our colonies benefitted from Empire and the trade that resulted.

Actually the commonwealth is still there and despite us dumping them to join the Common Market, European community, European Union, EUSSR etc. Some of them still want to trade with us.

As the delay is because the fishing industry can't fill in the custom forms correctly one would assume India wouldn't accept them without correct paperwork, so you might be right they have made themselves unable to export to India.

India export fish to the EU so most of the technical stuff is probably done.

We import much of our Cod from China so again closeness is not very important.

Actually, maybe not.

Where's all the pro-brexit twats saying how great this is? Jeez you really want to mouth off on the internet about wanting to punch them all in the face because you're a simpering keyboard sissy.

Actually no, but you should be used to being wrong, it changes depending on the circumstances.

The UK became better at transport via the Royal Navy and mechant ships and the proportion changed.

Being in the EU made it convenient to buy from Europe, out of it we may trade more with the rest of the world for long life or non perishable goods. How much does a shipping container from China cost?

For Perishable goods Famers in the UK can produce standard UK crops and Hydroponics many of the more exotic crops.

Note Mexico & Canada have LAND borders with America a considerably richer neighbour.

But following your logic it is indeed true we do trade heavily with other members of the union.

Half of your trade is always with your neighbours. That won't change. Check out Canada, Mexico and Japan.

In 1700, 80 per cent of British trade went to Europe from ports on the east and south coasts.

By 1800, 60 per cent of British trade went to Africa and America, often sailing from the three main west coast ports of Bristol, Liverpool and Glasgow. British exports in 1800 were four times higher than in 1700.

Many of our results are as we would expect. In Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland we find that the majority of UK exports go to England while Scotland is England’s most important export destination. We also find that Northern Ireland and Scotland have large trade deficits with England reflecting the corresponding SUTs which show large trade deficits with the rest of the UK.

Apparently (Ahem) that's not how it worked before data was shared.Oh - and they don't have systems in place (yet) to track non payers.

Sometime in the early 80s I had a car that had noisy big-ends, it wasn't worth keeping but I made it's final journey to Paris with the big-ends getting noisier along the journey. Its final resting place was outside my friends flat in Boulevard Suchet. He looked out each day to see the growth of parking tickets. Three months later it was towed away; never heard anything from the authorities.

Slight bug here. On the spot fines in France and NPR at ports of departure.

Drive around France motorways at around 110mph or less, with only a fine to risk if you're caught by actual cops.

That's the spirit!

Gosh. There's no light here at all. But wait... I can hear someone... whistling! Phew. Everything will be fine.

That definitely counts as a Brexit win! Just need to find out how to exploit this properly.

In 2-3 years time the Britain's economy will fully adapt to the change and be on a trajectory for greater sustained prosperity than could ever be acheived by being in the EU. Brexit has happened now so get on with it.

What I find interesting is that the government hasn't made a single concrete suggestion about what laws it will change to be more competitive. It's all very "abstract".

Something about crooked bananas? And I think there was something else about warning messages printed on bags of party balloons saying kids should not eat them. Those two will certainly be on the chopping block first and the tyranny will be lifted.

eventually will just end up being a race to the bottom for all involved.

it will be a race to the bottom and this race the uk will win.
