@bina nocht Beforethe transition period ended (01/2021) there was uncertainty on the EU's side about how hard they'd actually be hit. This in turn created a willingness for very close ties, and even to cancel the entire Brexaster should the UK want to do so. But now 5ye tables have turned, the hit was fairly well contained, although some businesses undoubtedly were hit hard, but gains and benefits emerged on the EU side too. So the tables have turned and I hope there is no appetite anywhere in the EU27 for a quick rejoin. Not before fundamental changes were made in the UK body politics and media.
I mean, how could you blame them? Their hand is being forced. If they don't adapt, they die, and then nobody gets anything. At least this way there's, at minimum, that lady's wage coming back into the UK economy. If her business folds, the UK loses even that tiny bit of sustenance.
The sad thing is these problems were predicted and those that warned of the negative effects of Brexit were shot down and their warnings labelled as " project fear".
@Tom To continue the car analogy from the clip: If someone sells me a car, I don't care if I get free leather upholstery, I care if it drives reliably.
@Tom Ever since 2016 I have been asking people who were pro Brexit to tell me what the positives are or will be but apart from blue passports and "sovereignty" ( both of which people could have had while in the EU) no one could tell me anything that wasn't imaginary or pie in the sky.
I used to buy alot of clothes from the UK before. Tried two times after brexit. Instead of a week's shipping I had to pay customs for almost 25% of the worth. Then wait for one month before it got to me. Also, the other time the package got lost at customs. Eventually it got resent after a few months back to the sender in the UK and I opted for a refund. Today I watch the British shops for inspiration and then search for the same stuff in EU shops, German, Austrian etc. Even though they are about 10€ more expensive it is not worth the hassle with customs to potentially save one or two €.
Same! I'm an avid wargamer, and I used to order from the UK almost every month. Post brexit it's been a full 180 of my spending habits. I now find it other places in the EU or just go without.
The Tories love this , the fall of small business so the multinationals can come in and take all the business and consolidate their own power follow the money.
Small businesses like that don't compete with multinational enterprises and the amount of money in transactions is ... the big players don't look THAT far to the right in numbers. The main thing for the Tories was deregulation of their financial "business" and prevent transparency in terms of corporate ownership, donations, etc. Thatcher's plan was to turn the UK into a big money laundring machine and the EU was a danger to that. So Brexit was the logical consequence. Other aspects are incidential to these big goals. Never mistake what THEY want and need with what they tell to the public to get them on board. See the American revolution ... yeah, for "we, the rich and privileged" but since this doesn't sell, we'll *say* "We, the people" but still *mean* "We, the privileged ..."
I've lived in Portugal for 45 years. The Tories took Britain into the Common Market. Since the formation of the EU we never had problems sending to or receiving goods from the UK. In November 2021 my brother sent me a £20 book which got stuck in Portuguese customs. The bureaucracy of trying to get it out of customs led me to tell them to send the book back. In December, a £16 medal got stuck. It is still in customs 2 months later. What Brexit did was to make Portuguese bureaucracy, which was never smooth, much much worse. I have stopped ordering anything from the UK. Now multiply me by the millions of EU consumers of UK products.
Same here. German living in the UK since 2013. We have given up on sending gifts to my family there, and vice versa. It is such an unnecessary restriction of our lives.
@@germansnowman Well, I am a Spaniard living in China so I understand those trading restrictions very well. Basically, all countries out of the EU are considered foreign markets same as sending/receiving goods from India, the US, China, etc. The Customs of the importing country stop the parcels (everything) and the importer must declare the goods and provide paperwork, wait for Customs officials to handle the process and do a physical inspection if needed and pay the corresponding import duty in order to receive the goods. This is INTERNATIONAL TRADE 1.0. When the UK decided to be OUT of the EU, they became a foreign market for the EU like China, the US, Australia, India, etc so any goods leaving the UK entering the EU or leaving the EU entering the UK will have to follow the same bureaucratic process. Why? well...ask the Brits who voted Brexit.
@@germansnowman you can buy online in stores that ship to Germany and they will get the parcels directly, no need to buy, then put it in a parcel and then ship to them. I understand its not the same as before, but its an option.
In order to "unstuck" the gold medal from customs, 1. contact the courier company who informed you the parcel had arrived to make sure the parcel is still stuck in Customs or if it has been returned to origin. 2. To the courier company, provide a copy of your passport and the value of the goods (invoice or online order screenshot if you have it) or declare the goods as GIFT. 3. Wait for Customs clearance to be finished (can take up to 5 days). 4. Pay import duty (23% of the value of the goods including the shipping cost). 5. Wait for the courier company to deliver the parcel to your home address.
@@whatsilviadid3993 So simple. Why didn't I think of that? Yes, life is so much simpler now that the British have taken control of their borders. At the moment, the medal (just for participation - not gold (only £16)) has been released from customs but it still has not arrived. What also did Brexit was to worsen the bureaucracy in other EU countries. There is no way I would order anything from Britain. It's easier to get things from China.
Please don't forget the enormous personal & social burden of Brexit outside business. Millions of individuals & families had their lives turned upside down due to the end of free movement & this continues to be an issue. The Brexiteers applauded the end of foreigners coming over 'taking their jobs' but they didn't understand that this was a reciprocal arrangement & the British could also work & live freely within Europe. As a British citizen in the bloc I was not permitted to vote in the referendum, yet the outcome severely affected the lives of me & countless others. We were denied any input whatsoever.
But nuffin' will change. They said so. They said nuffin' will change for us, we'll just have 350 million more to give the NHS.

And the EU will have to cave in, 'cuz we got all them cards! The German car industry will make sure of that, it will! So, why shouldn't I vote for Brexit? It only has advantages?

Agree with everything the lady has said, I am ops manager for a medium size business and the cost of Brexit has absolutely killed off our European business side.. we used sell approx £30k a week to European residential customers this now has all but disappeared due to additional vat and duty charged to the customer (delivered DAP) Our Business to business has also suffered heavily, A single carton to Europe has gone up to £25 per carton compared to £9 pre Brexit, average pallet cost have gone to to £200 per pallet before it was £100.. On top of all that lost vat, duty the additional cost of all the customs a paper work, EORI numbers, vat IDs, commodity codes, importer on record, ect ect ..

I have bought lots of vinyl records and CDs online from Burning Shed, a company in Norwich going back over the last 10 years. They’re a great company. I’ve also bought lots online from GEP in the south of England. Another excellent record label! But I won’t be buying any more from them now because now I have to pay substantial import taxes/customs duties because Britain is a country that is outside of the EU now. Just like when I occasionally bought from the USA and China (where I have bought online a couple of things down through the years) and had to pay the import taxes. Learned my lesson there. Maybe now Brits will cop on to some real economic and business downsides to Brexit. Maybe they won’t. Maybe it’ll take another generation to see the truth…
Worked for a random start up company during covid. Selling very small scale products. We were unable to sell SNACK BARS to Ireland because of Brexit difficulties. I just found that so absurd and excessive. Made me contemplate how much damage has been caused.
Rees-Mogg is a millionaire hedge fund management company owner , he made a fortune out of no deal Brexit and knew exactly what would happen even opening office of his company in Dublin so it could trade in EU without the restrictions of UK leaving the EU . Despite his manner he is just another Eton old boy player in the financial markets shell game but as a cabinet minister now with access to inside knowledge and power to influence financial markets. You really believe he is just some 18th century bumbling throwback because of how he presents himself , he is part of the privileged elite and knows it.
I said this so many times. People kept saying 'we managed fine before we were in the EU' and also 'I want us to go back to the way we were'. But the world has changed. We can't manage we the way we did because that way doesn't work in the world of today. And it's OK wanting to go back to the way you were as long as you realise nobody else is going back. Just you. So you won't find yourself in some imagined paradise of your youth. You just find yourself hopelessly out of step.
I was sent a Christmas present from the UK to Spain. Declared value of £5, I had to pay €6.50 this end to receive it. We now tell everyone if you want to send presents, use Spanish sites. Also I used to order lots from the UK, now I order nothing. Multiply that by the thousands in the same position an see how the UK is missing out.
@Mr Quagmire every single country has an import tax. The tax is calculated based on the value of the goods adding the shipping cost and the % of tax can vary depending on the importing country. For example, Spain has 21% import tax but Portugal has 23%. This import tax is ONLY applied to countries out of the UE. So when a Spaniard buys an item from Australia, China, India, the US, etc they pay the import tax and follow the import customs clearance process. The same applies when any customer in Australia, China, India, the US buys an item from Spain. These are INTERNATIONAL TRADE RULES, not invented by Spain nor the European Union. The EU united all the countries and basically deleted the Customs borders, so all these years the people in the UK have enjoyed no Customs formalities when buying from or shipping to the EU countries. Brexit gave independence to the UK and brought the Customs borders back because they are NOT an EU country anymore so now the trade with them is treated the same as with China, Australia, India, etc and the Customs formalities must be followed.
In today's global/interconnected world, sovereignty is synonymous with isolationism. All of us who have been around a few decades yearn for simplicity, but stubborn oversimplification isn't the answer. As always, I commiserate with the people who are struggling to pick up the pieces of poor governance.
I am in Hungary, We build some foam products into our products it came form UK before Brexit, now the UK company moved production to Poland so they and customers can avoid paperwork.
After losing the empire, Britain turned to Europe and its market as natural alternative and eventually survived. Now that it is out of Europe, Who will it turn to?
@@ibobeko4309Maybe, but only if they submit to British authority as colonies as they did decades ago, otherwise there is no way a market of 70 million people can replace one of 450 million.
I think Rees Mogg knew the downsides but prioritised the benefits to the rich such as lower regulations and standards . He’s not thick he’s just very self interested .
Yeah yeah. Your not looking at the benefits. Paying more for food. Restricted movements. Less income. More off time. Go the tories. Anyone want that promised 2nd referendum? Anyone going to acknowledge referendums are non binding? We don't have to do this. Mind you, some leadership is required. Some strength of character.
I'm an avid wargamer, and I used to order from the UK almost every month. Post brexit it's been a full 180 of my spending habits. I now find it other places in the EU or just go without. Besides this a trend I did notice, even before the single market breakup, was the exchange-rate from my local currency to pounds, set by UK shops, is something out of an early 90´s fever dream. 1£ = 11 DKK !?? Not since the 90's mate.. So besides customs rates I have to pay a 20-30% increase on each £ I spend. It's bonkers!
I used to order a few things from the UK every once in a while, but since Brexit it has become so expensive and so slow that I can't be bothered anymore. Unless I go there directly, for example I'm going to vacation in Scotland this year and will be purchasing plenty of books there but taking them in my luggage. It's really the only way it's still reasonably to buy stuff from the UK. In any other way, it's really not worth it. Real pity this whole situation.
As a small business owner it's now for me 32 percent more expensive to make my products , the knock on effect to customers is this at home and totally unable to sell abroad due to the cost in export too, it will get worse too I'm sure
How's all that sovereignty working for the UK? I hate to hear of people suffering because of their government - the British people were essentially duped into it - but this is what way too many Britons asked for.
When the UK was part of the EU, for a small UK business sending goods to EU customers was as easily as sending goods to UK customers. Delivery for EU customers would cost a bit more and delivery would take a bit longer, but that's it. Hence small UK businesses could compete with businesses within the EU because the UK was within the EU free market. Now with brexit many small UK business who did sell goods to the EU have lost most of their EU sales/customers because of the extra duty and logistical costs. This was a known result of brexit and of no longer being a member of the EU free market. With these additional costs many small UK businesses can no longer compete with EU businesses. Many EU customers are not willing to pay the costs (from personal experience, of up to 35% more) of receiving goods from the UK when they can buy from a business/country within the EU without the extra costs. For big UK businesses they may have some clever ways of reducing these costs for EU customers, like setting up headquarters/branches in EU countries etc, but this isn't possible for small businesses. The majority of businesses in the UK are small, it's the backbone of the economy. Think about the small online sellers on ebay, amazon, etsy etc. For many of these small online sellers brexit has basically killed EU orders/sales and opportunities. You hear about the UK government signing trade deals with this country and that country but these are NOT 'free' trade deals which the UK had with EU countries and hence they do not replace the business lost from being out of the EU free market, and they do not help small businesses.
It's the same the other way around. I don't do to the UK any more. The problem isn't even actually Brexit but your ludicrous rules about vat on imports which would require me to do accounts in pounds and send them to the HMRC every three months. It's just not worth the hassle for a very small company selling infrequently to the UK.
@Tom UK markets are a lot smaller than EU markets. And that doesn't count what customers in UK are losing. Before they could order products easily from any EU country, but now they can get their products only from UK without customs expenses. That will mean less variety and less competition, which will lead to higher prices and poorer quality. Luckily almost all UK companies, whom products I have ordered, have change their warehouses to another EU country. Only Tesco products aren't available any more, and that is shame, because I did love their gluten free products.
@Tom The British consumer will pay the price be it actual cost or less choice. Its a proven economic law that competition reduces price and that an increase in price reduces demand ie the market size. The only way a nation can get wealthier is by exports otherwise is internal wealth circulating internally.
@Tom That works only if what you are making is made 100% in the UK. Otherwise you have so many custom charges for the parts you import, that the company which completly produces in the EU would be able to still be cheaper than you. In addition, the UK market is much, much smaller than the EU one, even if you are the only competitor, you'll end up with way less potential customers.
@Tom Oh, and by the way, if cutting yourself off from other market would make you richer, North Korea would be the richest country on earth. Oddly it is not.
I was importing books from the UK from 1986 to 2000. I distinctly remember how much easier it became in 1993. Before we had to pay the postman or driver on delivery (up to 3 weeks sometimes) after 1993 no customs or charges ... what a relief it was, and a real boost to business! Gradually we got delivery times down to 2 days ... happy times!
People voted brexit because they thaught it would stop the immigrants, if the country was little poorer. Well the country is much poorer and will now increase more immigrants
If you remember a lot of pensioners want to live in 1940s because they really enjoyed the war,absolutely nothing matters other than the colour of passports

No one talks about the little 'at home' brexit problems. As a vintage/antiques collector/trader selling on online auctions, there are massive losses because people that used to bid competitively are less likely to do so because of the customs charges, same goes for buying, what I'd pay for something I'd like to buy, becomes less because of the additional charges, that's if the seller can be bothered to fill out the extra customs forms. I'm a 'remoaner' that hasn't been affected by the big business of it all but has been affected even if I didn't leave my house ever again!
Your right, the bottom line will naturally effect every sale..money talks right.. but we must remember it's the EU choice to add these fees as it is protect market I actually agree with this even then though I'm a brexitneer. I also didn't have an issue with the fact the British tax paid more into EU then it either got a rebate on or in any form of added value directly. As I also agree that as G7 member we have a moral obligation to help less well delvelop economy's florist, as well a moral undertaking to paid back to some extent what forefathers stole & directly gained considerable wealth from our immoral history. However, as a brexitneer there was two fundamental reasons why I felt compelled to vote leave or 2.5 reasons 1 unelected & unaccountable governance personnel directing EU citizens lives.. & my fear this would into form of people's Republic, it's my opinion that type of governance has an unhealthy future. It's also hard to resist the natural human instinct that your paying more for same services then your neighbours but because more numerous then I counters my vote into silent. Basically what your agreeing to is you paid the mortgage but I'll come & stay with you for free! However, for compassionate reasons my main reason for voting leave was I felt the freedom of movement act had & has a massive impacted on our Homelessness situation here in the UK. You will know of course we live in a competitive world & for this very reason an estimated 9 millions EU citizens still living & working here contributed to the numbers of British citizens without a place to call home or a job to go to.. In my city of Southampton we have approximately 2.3k homeless I couldn't allow this to continue to worsen on my watch. So leaving the EU was a tough call but one I do the same today.. regardless of the fact the average person has less opportunity.
@@stuarthardy8202 You say that we put more in EU then we get back? every economists in the world has said the opposite, that statement is a blatant lie. It is 3.5mill EU citizens in the UK not 9mill another blatant lie....Not to mention you fail to say how many UK nationals are out in the EU benefiting too. Its a fact there are over 1mill job vacancies in the UK a percentage of those can not be filled as we dont have the skills needed so many areas are suffering ie hospitals/medical, care, hospitality, building/trade and so on ... Whilst we have 1.3mill unemployed. Exports to EU fell by 12% in the first year YES - 1 year 20 billion wiped off, do you know how bad this is for business?? you obviously dont have one so have NO clue about import/duties charges which has led to higer prices of goods. Please tell me how has brexit benefited you today personally??? you have no clue what your talking about so just be honest and say you want less foreigners here or shut the fxxk up...Idiot.
The other point about our trading status 50 years ago is that, from 1960, we were a member of EFTA which has its own agreements with the EU. We withdrew from EFTA on 1st January 1973 and are now longer a member of any bloc. Totally isolated.
Irish Govt spoke to experts and designed training courses for Brexshit. These courses were well-attended, and most Irish importers and exporters were familiar with the forms and filling in the Brexshit forms. When Brexshit happened, the Irish importers and exporters were prepared, and the British were not. (Think of 2 people take driving theory test) One prepares for the theory test and the other does not. Which one will pass test, all things being equal?
I think your right, whilst it doesn’t surprise me that the Irish Govt was prepared , there is no doubt that Britain was completely unprepared. Bringing in product into UK was a nightmare….still is .
What is never mentioned …..If your business is selling second hand items maybe Antiques…to the EU…..it is now not viable due to 20 to 25% VAT added depending on which country …It is impossible to absorb such a cost

How a historical trade nation exit a highly profitable trade union like the EU is a mystery to me. All levels of UK businesses is taking the hit and I wouldn't be surprised if all of them voted for Brexit, just like the farmers and the fishermen.
no dumbo, slovakia is one of the cheapest EU countries. I live in Austria an people drive over just to have nights out.

She mentions the cost of sending a product to Europe now costs between £60 and £90 and used to cost £15 and then mentions Switzerland who are not and haven’t been in the Eu trading bloc . This is about crushing the little people, it doesn’t effect big business, none of it will effect Mercedes’ Audi, BMW.
It's because we're shifting to the CCTPP where its about trade not politics, keep up. Some business obviously deserve to go under if they're unable to adapt.
As I’ve previously said, I’ve bought lots of top quality vinyl records and CDs online from Burning Shed, a company in Norwich, going back over the last 10 years. They’re a brilliant company - quick, reliable and excellent value. I’ve also bought quite a lot online from GEP in the south of England - another excellent record label! But I won’t be buying any more from these guys. Now I have to pay substantial import taxes/customs duties (30% to 40% extra in costs) because Britain is a country that does not enjoy membership of the EU now. Just like when I occasionally bought different things from places like the USA and China and then had to pay the import taxes. Learned my lesson there! So, from now on I’ll just do without or shop online from suppliers in Germany, France, Italy, Greece etc etc. Maybe all you Brits will eventually cop on to the fact that there are real economic and business downsides to Brexit. Maybe you won’t. Maybe it’ll take another generation to see the truth…

So the tables have turned and I hope there is no appetite anywhere in the EU27 for a quick rejoin. Not before fundamental changes were made in the UK body politics and media.
Jacob Rees-Mogg knew precisely the outcome of Brexit. More money for him and more money for the very rich.
Everything else was secondary.
It is hard to blame British businesses like this lady that were ignored , for moving their businesses to better places where they don't lose money.
I mean, how could you blame them? Their hand is being forced. If they don't adapt, they die, and then nobody gets anything. At least this way there's, at minimum, that lady's wage coming back into the UK economy. If her business folds, the UK loses even that tiny bit of sustenance.
Ahh! JRM the gift that just keeps giving.
The sad thing is these problems were predicted and those that warned of the negative effects of Brexit were shot down and their warnings labelled as " project fear".
@Tom To continue the car analogy from the clip: If someone sells me a car, I don't care if I get free leather upholstery, I care if it drives reliably.
@Tom Ever since 2016 I have been asking people who were pro Brexit to tell me what the positives are or will be but apart from blue passports and "sovereignty" ( both of which people could have had while in the EU) no one could tell me anything that wasn't imaginary or pie in the sky.
I used to buy alot of clothes from the UK before. Tried two times after brexit. Instead of a week's shipping I had to pay customs for almost 25% of the worth. Then wait for one month before it got to me. Also, the other time the package got lost at customs. Eventually it got resent after a few months back to the sender in the UK and I opted for a refund.
Today I watch the British shops for inspiration and then search for the same stuff in EU shops, German, Austrian etc. Even though they are about 10€ more expensive it is not worth the hassle with customs to potentially save one or two €.
Same! I'm an avid wargamer, and I used to order from the UK almost every month. Post brexit it's been a full 180 of my spending habits. I now find it other places in the EU or just go without.
The Tories love this , the fall of small business so the multinationals can come in and take all the business and consolidate their own power follow the money.
It’s funny though, about 100% of small businesses vote Tory in the past and in the future!
He didn't
@@bokhans that seems like a highly delusional statement.
Small businesses like that don't compete with multinational enterprises and the amount of money in transactions is ... the big players don't look THAT far to the right in numbers. The main thing for the Tories was deregulation of their financial "business" and prevent transparency in terms of corporate ownership, donations, etc. Thatcher's plan was to turn the UK into a big money laundring machine and the EU was a danger to that. So Brexit was the logical consequence. Other aspects are incidential to these big goals. Never mistake what THEY want and need with what they tell to the public to get them on board. See the American revolution ... yeah, for "we, the rich and privileged" but since this doesn't sell, we'll *say* "We, the people" but still *mean* "We, the privileged ..."
I've lived in Portugal for 45 years. The Tories took Britain into the Common Market. Since the formation of the EU we never had problems sending to or receiving goods from the UK. In November 2021 my brother sent me a £20 book which got stuck in Portuguese customs. The bureaucracy of trying to get it out of customs led me to tell them to send the book back. In December, a £16 medal got stuck. It is still in customs 2 months later. What Brexit did was to make Portuguese bureaucracy, which was never smooth, much much worse. I have stopped ordering anything from the UK. Now multiply me by the millions of EU consumers of UK products.
Same here. German living in the UK since 2013. We have given up on sending gifts to my family there, and vice versa. It is such an unnecessary restriction of our lives.
@@germansnowman Well, I am a Spaniard living in China so I understand those trading restrictions very well. Basically, all countries out of the EU are considered foreign markets same as sending/receiving goods from India, the US, China, etc. The Customs of the importing country stop the parcels (everything) and the importer must declare the goods and provide paperwork, wait for Customs officials to handle the process and do a physical inspection if needed and pay the corresponding import duty in order to receive the goods. This is INTERNATIONAL TRADE 1.0. When the UK decided to be OUT of the EU, they became a foreign market for the EU like China, the US, Australia, India, etc so any goods leaving the UK entering the EU or leaving the EU entering the UK will have to follow the same bureaucratic process. Why? well...ask the Brits who voted Brexit.
@@germansnowman you can buy online in stores that ship to Germany and they will get the parcels directly, no need to buy, then put it in a parcel and then ship to them. I understand its not the same as before, but its an option.
In order to "unstuck" the gold medal from customs, 1. contact the courier company who informed you the parcel had arrived to make sure the parcel is still stuck in Customs or if it has been returned to origin. 2. To the courier company, provide a copy of your passport and the value of the goods (invoice or online order screenshot if you have it) or declare the goods as GIFT. 3. Wait for Customs clearance to be finished (can take up to 5 days). 4. Pay import duty (23% of the value of the goods including the shipping cost). 5. Wait for the courier company to deliver the parcel to your home address.
@@whatsilviadid3993 So simple. Why didn't I think of that? Yes, life is so much simpler now that the British have taken control of their borders. At the moment, the medal (just for participation - not gold (only £16)) has been released from customs but it still has not arrived. What also did Brexit was to worsen the bureaucracy in other EU countries. There is no way I would order anything from Britain. It's easier to get things from China.
Well done brexit supporters that’s another fine mess you got the country into
Please don't forget the enormous personal & social burden of Brexit outside business.
Millions of individuals & families had their lives turned upside down due to the end of free movement & this continues to be an issue.
The Brexiteers applauded the end of foreigners coming over 'taking their jobs' but they didn't understand that this was a reciprocal arrangement & the British could also work & live freely within Europe.
As a British citizen in the bloc I was not permitted to vote in the referendum, yet the outcome severely affected the lives of me & countless others.
We were denied any input whatsoever.
Brexiteers trolls: "don't you understand democracy?". It's really not funny though, so many irregularities
And now it's sadly clear that the foreigners didn't deprive Brits of any jobs, as evidenced by the current UK labour shortage.
I don't understand why Brexit made sense to anyone!! How does one untangle economic relationships without consequences???
But nuffin' will change. They said so. They said nuffin' will change for us, we'll just have 350 million more to give the NHS. And we'll have suff .. souv ... thingy and no longer be dictated by forrin nations! And we'll get all them forrinners out! So only benefits. And the EU will have to cave in, 'cuz we got all them cards! The German car industry will make sure of that, it will! So, why shouldn't I vote for Brexit? It only has advantages? The downsides ... that's all project fear by the EU who KNOWS how they are utterly dependent on uns and don't want us to become suff ... souv ... thingy! All 'em papers I read say so!
I feel so sorry for people like this poor woman.
This lady talks a lot of sense
Greetings from Slovakia ;) BTW Slovakia has benefited from Brexit due to Jaguar Land Rover which has invested €1.4 billion to build a car manufacturing facility in the region of Nitra (Slovakia),
congratulations...just keep the beer prices as they are please, thanks from austria
Foreigners nicking our jobs!
@@adamwelch6217 you could also say those jobs are nicking your foreigners
Oddly enough, I literally just received a regular "recordings of the month" email from a British record company I subscribe to. I noticed that it now carries a disclaimer, apologising in advance to EU customers for the delays in delivering their orders.
Shame for them the EU made it so difficult to deal with imports then.
They knew they were lying I work on a building site and I understood it 🤔
Oh come on James.... He lied to the queen do you think he'd have any qualms about lying to the British public

"It's like going back 50 years" that's EXACTLY what the Leavers wanted though. They WANTED us to go back 50 years, they WANTED it to be 1970 again, when they were young, innocent and with a full head of hair. Terrible mistake, I'm absolutely embarrassed to call myself British at the moment, we're a complete joke, and have been since at least 2016. This lady is very switched on, I agreed with her points.
Have this lady asked her local Tory mp what she should do ? They will sort it , but you still will have sovereignty? Even if your bankrupt ,

Her local tory MP won't talk to her. Don't be silly. Has she donated at least half a million pounds to the Tory party or even pushed an envelope stuffed with £50 notes under his/Her door?

The day we left you the EU was the day I said I would never help this county again with anything.

Help?
It's a shame, people talked about hating bureaucracy and voted for more instead :/
Agree with everything the lady has said, I am ops manager for a medium size business and the cost of Brexit has absolutely killed off our European business side.. we used sell approx £30k a week to European residential customers this now has all but disappeared due to additional vat and duty charged to the customer (delivered DAP)
Our Business to business has also suffered heavily, A single carton to Europe has gone up to £25 per carton compared to £9 pre Brexit, average pallet cost have gone to to £200 per pallet before it was £100..
On top of all that lost vat, duty the additional cost of all the customs a paper work, EORI numbers, vat IDs, commodity codes, importer on record, ect ect ..
i used to import 4x4 and classic car parts into portugal i have had to close the activity i doing odd jobs for 10 e here and their just to survive here i also did car transport but now i can only work in my host country because they voted my freedom of movement away brexit has flushed all my plans down the pan
So much damage to so many entrepreneurial people and businesses large and small. Utterly insane and criminal.
I stopped buying from UK companies for delivery to Europe a year ago. A small amount of import duty plus 15 EUR service charge. Not sustainable. I also sent chocolates the other way in January as a late Xmas pressie. Three parcels, all three took 2 weeks. Crazy.
Chuckle. You believed Boris lol. Who does that!
Why are these businesses not out in the streets protesting I am still amazed and for the life of me just don’t understand
Because the UK in general is extremely apathetic, as a nation of peoples.
I heard someone on another LBC show saying that a positive of Brexit is that businesses offering to fill complicated customs forms in for you are cropping up everywhere and are making a killing!
I don't know why but your comment made me laugh so hard, so i guess there is some benefits as small businesses get ripped off.
With his hedge fund mentality Mogg would have no comprehenson of this woman's situation in the real business world. Great analogy James.
Follow the money.
People have to look at who benefited from Brexit.
Who got rich over the back of people like this women.
Rees Mogg KNEW brexit was not logical under the legal rules of a global economy he can read. But, he FELT that such rules couldn't & wouldn't APPLY to sovereign English citizens.
British not just English. We're all being painted with the same brush
@@willoke8 No, there are people who draw a clear distinction between those who are English and those who are British. You are British if you are born in the UK and have the commensurate passport. You are only English if you are a WASP as well. Those who waste time with such delineations 9.9X out of 10 are brexiteers.
Speak to any small business owner who used to deal with the EU and they will tell you the same.
I have bought lots of vinyl records and CDs online from Burning Shed, a company in Norwich going back over the last 10 years. They’re a great company. I’ve also bought lots online from GEP in the south of England. Another excellent record label!
But I won’t be buying any more from them now because now I have to pay substantial import taxes/customs duties because Britain is a country that is outside of the EU now. Just like when I occasionally bought from the USA and China (where I have bought online a couple of things down through the years) and had to pay the import taxes. Learned my lesson there. Maybe now Brits will cop on to some real economic and business downsides to Brexit. Maybe they won’t. Maybe it’ll take another generation to see the truth…
Worked for a random start up company during covid. Selling very small scale products. We were unable to sell SNACK BARS to Ireland because of Brexit difficulties.
I just found that so absurd and excessive. Made me contemplate how much damage has been caused.
However much it is so far, it's nothing compared to what's coming. This is not going to stop. It's just going to continue getting worse.
Rees-Mogg is a millionaire hedge fund management company owner , he made a fortune out of no deal Brexit and knew exactly what would happen even opening office of his company
in Dublin so it could trade in EU without the restrictions of UK leaving the EU . Despite his manner he is just another Eton old boy player in the financial markets shell game but as a cabinet minister now with access to inside knowledge and power to influence financial markets. You really believe he is just some 18th century bumbling throwback because of how he presents himself , he is part of the privileged elite and knows it.
I said this so many times. People kept saying 'we managed fine before we were in the EU' and also 'I want us to go back to the way we were'. But the world has changed. We can't manage we the way we did because that way doesn't work in the world of today. And it's OK wanting to go back to the way you were as long as you realise nobody else is going back. Just you. So you won't find yourself in some imagined paradise of your youth. You just find yourself hopelessly out of step.
I was sent a Christmas present from the UK to Spain. Declared value of £5, I had to pay €6.50 this end to receive it. We now tell everyone if you want to send presents, use Spanish sites. Also I used to order lots from the UK, now I order nothing. Multiply that by the thousands in the same position an see how the UK is missing out.
@Mr Quagmire exactly 😄 the same as every other EU country as UK is not in the union! So people are not buying UK goods any more .
@Mr Quagmire every single country has an import tax. The tax is calculated based on the value of the goods adding the shipping cost and the % of tax can vary depending on the importing country. For example, Spain has 21% import tax but Portugal has 23%. This import tax is ONLY applied to countries out of the UE. So when a Spaniard buys an item from Australia, China, India, the US, etc they pay the import tax and follow the import customs clearance process. The same applies when any customer in Australia, China, India, the US buys an item from Spain. These are INTERNATIONAL TRADE RULES, not invented by Spain nor the European Union. The EU united all the countries and basically deleted the Customs borders, so all these years the people in the UK have enjoyed no Customs formalities when buying from or shipping to the EU countries. Brexit gave independence to the UK and brought the Customs borders back because they are NOT an EU country anymore so now the trade with them is treated the same as with China, Australia, India, etc and the Customs formalities must be followed.
I can hear it now all the Tories screaming work harder! their answer to all their economic roulette with peoples lives for 12 years.
In today's global/interconnected world, sovereignty is synonymous with isolationism. All of us who have been around a few decades yearn for simplicity, but stubborn oversimplification isn't the answer. As always, I commiserate with the people who are struggling to pick up the pieces of poor governance.
Sovereignty rules supreme In North Korea. I can very well understand that the Brexiteers want to follow this shining example. /s
@@nlbergsma Chuckleworthy, but still with a pinch of salt. 😆😆

After losing the empire, Britain turned to Europe and its market as natural alternative and eventually survived. Now that it is out of Europe, Who will it turn to?
To Canada, New Zealand and Australia.
@@ibobeko4309Maybe, but only if they submit to British authority as colonies as they did decades ago, otherwise there is no way a market of 70 million people can replace one of 450 million.
I think Rees Mogg knew the downsides but prioritised the benefits to the rich such as lower regulations and standards . He’s not thick he’s just very self interested .
Yeah yeah.
Your not looking at the benefits.
Paying more for food.
Restricted movements.
Less income.
More off time.

I'm an avid wargamer, and I used to order from the UK almost every month. Post brexit it's been a full 180 of my spending habits. I now find it other places in the EU or just go without. Besides this a trend I did notice, even before the single market breakup, was the exchange-rate from my local currency to pounds, set by UK shops, is something out of an early 90´s fever dream. 1£ = 11 DKK !?? Not since the 90's mate.. So besides customs rates I have to pay a 20-30% increase on each £ I spend. It's bonkers!
I used to order a few things from the UK every once in a while, but since Brexit it has become so expensive and so slow that I can't be bothered anymore. Unless I go there directly, for example I'm going to vacation in Scotland this year and will be purchasing plenty of books there but taking them in my luggage. It's really the only way it's still reasonably to buy stuff from the UK. In any other way, it's really not worth it. Real pity this whole situation.
As a small business owner it's now for me 32 percent more expensive to make my products , the knock on effect to customers is this at home and totally unable to sell abroad due to the cost in export too, it will get worse too I'm sure
One of thousands and thousands really....
How's all that sovereignty working for the UK? I hate to hear of people suffering because of their government - the British people were essentially duped into it - but this is what way too many Britons asked for.
Lucky Slovakia they got jaguar land rover as well. They must love brexit more than any other nation.
Jaguar Landrover haven’t been British since Ford sold it to Indian TATA must be 12 + years ago
Slovakia part of the EU it’s just cheaper labour there
I'm pretty sure JRM and his cronies knew exactly what they were doing.
They did it because UKIP posed an electoral threat to their hegemony. They didn't care about the economic consequences as long as they get re elected.
When the UK was part of the EU, for a small UK business sending goods to EU customers was as easily as sending goods to UK customers. Delivery for EU customers would cost a bit more and delivery would take a bit longer, but that's it. Hence small UK businesses could compete with businesses within the EU because the UK was within the EU free market.
Now with brexit many small UK business who did sell goods to the EU have lost most of their EU sales/customers because of the extra duty and logistical costs. This was a known result of brexit and of no longer being a member of the EU free market.
With these additional costs many small UK businesses can no longer compete with EU businesses. Many EU customers are not willing to pay the costs (from personal experience, of up to 35% more) of receiving goods from the UK when they can buy from a business/country within the EU without the extra costs. For big UK businesses they may have some clever ways of reducing these costs for EU customers, like setting up headquarters/branches in EU countries etc, but this isn't possible for small businesses.
The majority of businesses in the UK are small, it's the backbone of the economy. Think about the small online sellers on ebay, amazon, etsy etc. For many of these small online sellers brexit has basically killed EU orders/sales and opportunities.
You hear about the UK government signing trade deals with this country and that country but these are NOT 'free' trade deals which the UK had with EU countries and hence they do not replace the business lost from being out of the EU free market, and they do not help small businesses.
It's the same the other way around. I don't do to the UK any more. The problem isn't even actually Brexit but your ludicrous rules about vat on imports which would require me to do accounts in pounds and send them to the HMRC every three months. It's just not worth the hassle for a very small company selling infrequently to the UK.
@Tom UK markets are a lot smaller than EU markets. And that doesn't count what customers in UK are losing. Before they could order products easily from any EU country, but now they can get their products only from UK without customs expenses. That will mean less variety and less competition, which will lead to higher prices and poorer quality. Luckily almost all UK companies, whom products I have ordered, have change their warehouses to another EU country. Only Tesco products aren't available any more, and that is shame, because I did love their gluten free products.
@Tom The British consumer will pay the price be it actual cost or less choice. Its a proven economic law that competition reduces price and that an increase in price reduces demand ie the market size. The only way a nation can get wealthier is by exports otherwise is internal wealth circulating internally.
@Tom That works only if what you are making is made 100% in the UK. Otherwise you have so many custom charges for the parts you import, that the company which completly produces in the EU would be able to still be cheaper than you. In addition, the UK market is much, much smaller than the EU one, even if you are the only competitor, you'll end up with way less potential customers.
@Tom Oh, and by the way, if cutting yourself off from other market would make you richer, North Korea would be the richest country on earth. Oddly it is not.
Brilliant caller
This lady hit the nail on the head.52%of the UK have messed up. we need to be in the single market. for the 21st century.

I was importing books from the UK from 1986 to 2000. I distinctly remember how much easier it became in 1993. Before we had to pay the postman or driver on delivery (up to 3 weeks sometimes) after 1993 no customs or charges ... what a relief it was, and a real boost to business! Gradually we got delivery times down to 2 days ... happy times!

No one talks about the little 'at home' brexit problems. As a vintage/antiques collector/trader selling on online auctions, there are massive losses because people that used to bid competitively are less likely to do so because of the customs charges, same goes for buying, what I'd pay for something I'd like to buy, becomes less because of the additional charges, that's if the seller can be bothered to fill out the extra customs forms. I'm a 'remoaner' that hasn't been affected by the big business of it all but has been affected even if I didn't leave my house ever again!
Your right, the bottom line will naturally effect every sale..money talks right.. but we must remember it's the EU choice to add these fees as it is protect market I actually agree with this even then though I'm a brexitneer. I also didn't have an issue with the fact the British tax paid more into EU then it either got a rebate on or in any form of added value directly. As I also agree that as G7 member we have a moral obligation to help less well delvelop economy's florist, as well a moral undertaking to paid back to some extent what forefathers stole & directly gained considerable wealth from our immoral history.
However, as a brexitneer there was two fundamental reasons why I felt compelled to vote leave or 2.5 reasons 1 unelected & unaccountable governance personnel directing EU citizens lives.. & my fear this would into form of people's Republic, it's my opinion that type of governance has an unhealthy future. It's also hard to resist the natural human instinct that your paying more for same services then your neighbours but because more numerous then I counters my vote into silent. Basically what your agreeing to is you paid the mortgage but I'll come & stay with you for free!
However, for compassionate reasons my main reason for voting leave was I felt the freedom of movement act had & has a massive impacted on our Homelessness situation here in the UK. You will know of course we live in a competitive world & for this very reason an estimated 9 millions EU citizens still living & working here contributed to the numbers of British citizens without a place to call home or a job to go to.. In my city of Southampton we have approximately 2.3k homeless I couldn't allow this to continue to worsen on my watch. So leaving the EU was a tough call but one I do the same today.. regardless of the fact the average person has less opportunity.

The other point about our trading status 50 years ago is that, from 1960, we were a member of EFTA which has its own agreements with the EU. We withdrew from EFTA on 1st January 1973 and are now longer a member of any bloc. Totally isolated.
Irish Govt spoke to experts and designed training courses for Brexshit.
These courses were well-attended, and most Irish importers and exporters were familiar with the forms and filling in the Brexshit forms.
When Brexshit happened, the Irish importers and exporters were prepared, and the British were not.
(Think of 2 people take driving theory test) One prepares for the theory test and the other does not.

yes, as a French, it's my fault ;)
We moved our business to south of Dublin in ireland
She mentions the cost of sending a product to Europe now costs between £60 and £90 and used to cost £15 and then mentions Switzerland who are not and haven’t been in the Eu trading bloc . This is about crushing the little people, it doesn’t effect big business, none of it will effect Mercedes’ Audi, BMW.
Nonsense.
Why doesn’t she move it to N Ireland
Brilliant Video
Well UK, you get what you asked for. You've been warned.
It's because we're shifting to the CCTPP where its about trade not politics, keep up. Some business obviously deserve to go under if they're unable to adapt.
Watch Canada veto that….
I love that JRM lives rent free in your empty head. He doesn't even know who you are.
He lied, James... he lied.
As I’ve previously said, I’ve bought lots of top quality vinyl records and CDs online from Burning Shed, a company in Norwich, going back over the last 10 years. They’re a brilliant company - quick, reliable and excellent value. I’ve also bought quite a lot online from GEP in the south of England - another excellent record label!
But I won’t be buying any more from these guys. Now I have to pay substantial import taxes/customs duties (30% to 40% extra in costs) because Britain is a country that does not enjoy membership of the EU now. Just like when I occasionally bought different things from places like the USA and China and then had to pay the import taxes. Learned my lesson there! So, from now on I’ll just do without or shop online from suppliers in Germany, France, Italy, Greece etc etc.
Maybe all you Brits will eventually cop on to the fact that there are real economic and business downsides to Brexit. Maybe you won’t. Maybe it’ll take another generation to see the truth…
Wrong.
She's out-talking you James, that's a first.
The people have spoken I’m afraid. 😂
