    Manufacturing output declining rapidly

    IHS Markit said Friday that U.K. output fell at the quickest rate since May, hurt by additional red tape from leaving the European Union single market and a severe lockdown at home.

    Brexit is the UK shooting themselves in both knees, it will cripple supply chains, make quick import / export operations impossible and generally drive business away from the UK. Why the feck is it so hard to understand that the harder, more complicated imports / exports are, the less people will want to deal with the UK and the harder it will for UK companies to sell stuff outside. It's not rocket science, it's plain simple. Yes some of the delays now are simply due to the shock effect of changes and people.not being ready, but after that is sorted all the extra charges, fees, paperwork and additional time consuming operations previously not required will still be there.

    And you still want your queenie to be head of state, for some strange reason, of the nations of that former empire, which some of them are (kind of) fine with, but to give an ambassador from a neigboring organisation a diplomatic status, no way

    The relationship here is contractual, not sexual, unless in your mind EU was f***ing Britannia all these decades.

    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?
