Hi
We will never be free from the EU.
There is a simple reason for this, if we wish to export to them, we have to meet their standards.
If we wish to export to the USA or Japan we have to meet their standards.
Countries accept our exports of medicines and chemicals because they are EU Certified.
They will no longer be when we leave.
We have to set up our own Certification Bodies and have them Internationally Ratified by the WTO.
This does not take weeks or months, it takes years.
This is what I have been banging on about, our Government have simply not sorted out the details.
The result is that our exporters are setting up companies in the EU to maintain the ability to trade.
The Remainers have got it wrong, there will not be huge job losses here in the UK, the sky will not fall in.
What will happen however is that we will lose tax, it will be payable in the EU, not in the UK.
Less Tax, less money for Pensions and Public Services, more money for the EU Countries.
I am not a Financial Expert by any means, my kids are.
My estranged daughter is currently travelling the World, Business Class, 4 Star Hotels, as a Certified Tax Accountant for a major UK Exporter.
The number of job losses here in the UK will be minimal in her industry, she is however shifting the Tax abroad so they can keep trading.
That is the stupidity of our Government, much of this could have been unnecessary if they had got their finger out.
I have no issue with Brexit, I have an issue with stupidity.
