Maidstone & Dover businesses on Brexit

- The UK Trade and Business Commission visited Winterwood Farms in Maidstone and the Port of Dover to find out how Brexit has impacted their operations. Download the report at www.tradeandbusiness.uk
As Terry Nichol of Blackrock Dublin aptly commented in the Irish Times: ‘Brexit: the undefined negotiated by the unprepared to get the unspecified for the uninformed’.
Even the Americans thought you were bonkers.
Everyday, another UK company collapses because of a lie.
The EU is our main market.
All other markets require huge costs to trade with.
It’s not rocket science, it’s business.
The UK economy has not recovered at all, since the pandemic, yet all other G7 countries have nearly returned to normal business.
169 countries in the world are NOT IN THE EU WITH NO INTENTION OF REPLICATING IT..
I live in queensland Australia, i can buy uk made frozen pizzas here, and australia imports cauliflower from CHINA for in flight meals because its cheaper.
Distance is irrelevant today.
Used to buy good cheap nz lamb in the 70s in the UK.
As soon as the uk joined the eec, no more UK apples, just offloaded french ones into UK shops.
@@jonathansimmons5353 sadly, distance goods travel is becoming more expensive, especially considering carbon footprint.
The UK is part of Europe geographically. Freight costs have more than doubled for us now.
As for receiving goods from afar, it’ll always be a no brainier.
@@jonathansimmons5353 Distance is not irrelevant. What twaddle is this.
Goods have now quadrupled!
@jonathan simmons New Zealand will now make nearly 1000% more than the UK over this deal. Apparently the UK should regress to times before we made as much.
The UK can make only £7 per person in 38 years.
New Zealand will make billions!
To shoot one's self in the foot, springs to Mind!
Pay decent wages , get workers springs to mind.
Say..
Why do you want the british to have LOW PAY?
@@jonathansimmons5353 Brits understandably want a full time job, not seasonal where they lose all their benefits once the harvest is over. Unemployed also not in areas where the jobs are, quite apart from the fact that there are currently more vacancies in the UK than unemployed - this is not about money paid as picking is not the poorly paid job it was 30 years ago!
@@jonathansimmons5353 indecent wages has nothing to do with having been in the EU, if anything, the EU enhances the rights of its workers. Now that the brexiters have left the EU their bogeymen are surely in Westminster, or will the continue blaming their dysfunctional society on the EU even now?
I like how you play pleasant, upbeat background music while displaying the scary statistics. Wouldn't want anybody to worry, would we?
And the drone videos.... I guess you gave the director a list of things to film that included "seasonal workers" but what you got is "exciting roller-coaster swoops and dives over a landscape that includes some little people".
The music needs to be louder so we don’t hear what they have to say .
Proud of your efforts Hilary? Well done Brexiters.
What is he talking about the tensions arising from the NI protocol when it has nothing to do with trade between GB and the EU? Implementing and tinkering with the NI protocol may well help trade from GB to NI but it won't help trade between the UK and the EU. That red tape came with BREXIT and it will take alignment with EU rules, rather than diversion from them.
Rene, the NIP is designed to protect the SM. Which is about trade between Britain and the EU.
You're welcome.
@@stevioa9 , how does it affect the Port of Dover or any other aspect of trade between GB and EU?
@@renetelle3611 The British are trying to facilitate illegal infiltration of the SM by weakening the protections provided for in the NIP: Therefore in Dover and every other interface the legitimate rights of the EU and its members have to be diligently asserted. This is what Brexit inevitably brings about, as you knew all along. Moreover, after the initial honeymoon period, the UK is bound in international law to apply MFN principles to all international trade, which means ensuring no more favourable treatment is accorded importas from EU member states than from other states of the world and vice versa.
@@stevioa9, you are preaching to the choir :)
Rene the red tape has been there since the Eu was formed
Rejoin the single market and customs union, problem solved.
Yes it would, but since that is not in the power of the UK to decide and will take a very long time it is not a solution for the current problems, it will be too late for all those businesses failing.
@@ab-ym3bf Unfortunately it was on the table quite a while ago, but the rabid brexiteers wouldn't have it. It seems like we are once again going to be the sick man of Europe, can't understand how anybody would vote to make your country and self poorer.
Nope, can't do that. The ECJ is arbiter for the common market and the UK won't recognise said ECJ.
Brexiteers would not like this ;-)
No, you can no longer be trusted to keep your word. You wanted out, you're out. No more treaties or trade agreements with liars who don't honour their treaties. Brexit means Brexit.
Just grow produce to be returned to the earth as fertilizer, i thought that brexit was all about self support.
@Susan Reed Hi Susan, I sincerely hope that you make it to your 50th birthday ,I am sure that you will. Never give up, never stop looking forward, we have only one chance on planet earth, it is not a rehearsal. I escaped plague island soon after the referendum vote result was announced, and after 20 years holidaying here i knew after gaining legal residencia that I was coming home for good. Much love to you from the EU and Gran Canaria.
We are screwed with Brexit
Why?-
Japan isnt screwed by not being in the EU nor is Australia.
Japan was smouldering rubble 80 years ago.
Japan is a small country, not with a stand over unelected committee, yet they do ok...
@@jonathansimmons5353 Because they are on the other side of the world. The total populations of Canada, Australia and New Zealand that are on the other side of the world, all add up to the population of France that is 20 miles away. When you erect barriers to trade you increase the price to consumers and the dreadful Trade Deals with Japan, Australia and New Zealand at best, will add 0.02% to GDP over 10 years. Lions being led by donkeys and the Lions now cannot protest as Pritti Patel has outlawed protesting !
Wait til you get the biometric scanning in the Autumn, that'll create even more queues at Dover!! Haha, that's what you get for leaving one of the largest trading blocs in the world!!!!
Largest trading area is the 169 countries in the world NOT IN THE EU.
;-)
@@jonathansimmons5353 that's why I said, " one of the largest trading blocs "
The manager of Dover Port is an American and an apologist for Brexit. Dover Port can not cope with the impact Brexit and made precious little preparation for Brexit, yet Calais has the facilities for the full inspection regime. The American ( I can’t be bothered looking up his name ) should have told the David Davies’ Johnsons and Moggs of the Tory party that the impact of Brexit on trade will be horrendous. Dominic Raab didn’t know Dover Port was “quiet busy.” He’s too busy flying everywhere on his private government jet.
Labour were equally useless.
quite busy, in his jet ?
And I bet, he is paid very good....
Besides, he can go back to the USA.
Let a british CEO of the port deal with Brexit. I wonder, what a brexiteer in this position would say.
@@elipa3 Rees Mogg seems to have a lot of spare time, he seems ideal for the job.
Ah but he moved part of his hedge fund company to Dublin, the part of the company dealing with dirty money will be based in uk away from financial regulation from Europe, the real reason for brexit, dirty money and tax avoidance. Just look at the complex highly opaque financial network of Arron Banks, brexit cheerleader. Carole Cadwalladr won her legal case brought by banks.
Why on earth did the Dover area vote for Brexit, what did they imagine would happen?
@@richardrowland2898 they believed the business as usual, not so smart ...
Sun lit brexit uplands
ByelineTimes David Davis Downside Dossier is up to 610. Check it out.
Rejoin
Not possible. The EU wont allow it.
It will take decades. Best thing you can get is kind of norwegian deal, and even that will take years.
@@elipa3 if it take decades to join so be it you've to start somewhere the old saying is nothing is impossible but to start with never ever vote tory that's a start
No, the point is that all that is a colossal waste of time and resources and people's lives. The point is that the solution is to get back to the
We've left the EU ....democracy has been served ...get over it or go live in north korea
We can import the foods from abroad and the growers' businesses can contract.
You cant rejoin on your own. Its simply not possible. And all EU members would have to agree.
Actually they are not willing to do that.
Even a kind of norwegian deal would take years.
@@PeterPete good luck with importing fruit and vegetables from Japan. The ship needs 30 days. I wonder, how fresh vegetables and fruit will be after a month.
@@elipa3 abroad means outside of GB and NI. There's lots of places other than Japan!!
Brexit = can’t fly due to staff shortage, can’t take the boat due to employment laws getting softened, can’t take Dover due to queue … swim ?
Pay decent wages not £8.50 ph flat rate~ "take it or leave it"-
What you vy for is a slave pay rate class to do all the sh1t jobs on flat rate.
All good, but you need an audio person to sort out the mics.
The rank amateur production here leads me to think we will get more rank amateur governance
What did you expect, you can talk to a man with a wooden leg but unfortunately you can't to a man with a wooden head ,you voted live with it
What has the NI protocol got to do with Dover?
Well, if the UK unilaterally changes the NIP (as Mme. Truss threatens), what will the EU do in return? I would say: You will mention it in Dover.
Shot ourselves in the foot.
Britians biggest post WE2 traitor ,
Basically it was the quantity rather than the quality who voted to leave. It is the number that counts in the so called democracy. It is about following the crowd. Let's let this type of so called democracy sink us till the whole economy will collapse because we have to respect the ignorant stupid racist crowd who won the vote. It's does not matter how ignorant they are.
Spot on. And that's what democracy is all about. Two idiots outdo a genius. The Greeks knew about this problem early on in modeling their society and they moved on from democracy :).
@@renetelle3611 I don't believe in democracy if the majority who win the vote are ignorant and misinformed. I do not respect Brexit vote nor Johnson's vote nor Trump's vote. To me that's not democracy. It is a joke and a mockery. The only way for democracy to work is if the majority of the public are educated and well informed of the subject or candidate's policy, history, CV, biography etc they are about to vote for otherwise I remain sceptical of democracy.
@@derekmab7734, but that's what it is. "Democracy" means simply "by the power of the people"- Demokratia (Greek: δημοκρατία dēmokratía).
It doesnt have anything to do with dumb, smart, well informed or manipulated by a big red bus.
@@derekmab7734, and democracy has nothing to do with political correctness either. Adolf Hitler for example was a democratically elected Chancellor of Germany.
Surely we have many young Brits unemployed that could do this work, rather than signing on. If Eastern Europeans can do it why can’t our unemployed.
Most young people are employed, in training and education and would rather serve coffee to the brain dead masses than pick crops!!! The solution to the problem is quite simple, buy the crops in from abroad!!!
And these very unemployed Brits accused these EU migrants of stealing their jobs. Now they are back to their countries and yet those Brits are not filling these jobs. It's a total mess emanating from a messy nasty racist mentality!
Because eastern europeans live 4 to a room, and earn £3.50 ph in their countries~ £6.50 ph in the uk is a golden paycheck.
Would you work for £6.50 ph in the fields?-
Thought not.
In australia we import farming labour- no shortage @ £13 ph.
@@jonathansimmons5353 You should get your facts right as min wage has not been £6.50 since first part of 2015. £13/hr you quote is in fact what any decent fruit picker actually earns these days, and actually there IS a shortage of fruit pickers in Australia as well FYI!
No foreign fruit pickers, less trade, tough trading conditions, the UK no longer part of the evil common market ... well, it all works as promised by "the Brexit".
And it all gets much, much worse ...
After all, we can export everything from the EU to the UK without controls. I should retrain as a smuggler.
if we had a p.m. worth his salt he'd retaliate in kind & stop the oneway trade advantage but he's rubber spined.
Pay decent wages- get local workers.
Australua pays award rates on £13 ph fruit pucking and harvesting.
Backpackers and ppl all the time wanting to pull a £500- 650 pw picking fruit.
Not the £350 uk side living 4 in a hut onsite..
😁😁😁
@@jonathansimmons5353 So where are those backpackers??? Where?
Poooooor Kent
Buy British then!!!
and when not made in the UK ? think your economy makes all the stuff you need ?
@@jyvben1520 like what????
Can't afford to buy British!!
@@ontheslopes2400 how would i know what you need
@@PeterPete
Yes you can!
Australia imports workers for harvesting~ australia didnt need to be in the EU to do so. Australia imports some veg+fruit berries from CHINA because its cheaper than local produce when chasing every $
~ japan is a small set of islands, but they dont have to be in a EU to trade.
~Pay decent wages- get workers.
Fruit picking in australia is paid $27 p.h. thats £12.50 not the £7.50 in the uk.
Australia in the 21st century, other than the obsolete link to the British monarchy, is an independent country whose trade and security priorities now lie in the Asia Pacific, but of course it also trades further afield, eg Germany alone exports twice as much as the UK to Australia. Anyhow, at the end of the day, the UK now faces severe labour shortages due to brexit and the end of free movement. What then is the solution? Increased immigration from further afield may not please the average brexit voter.....
VOTE REJOIN.
Guys a disgrace
He take the knee to the EU what a coward
who ? bojo ? or are you just a drain for foreigners ....
He just want to do his work as best as he can. The UK is an island, if you forgot....
traitor
We are Out so shut up we have had enough we don't need them we can do it our self 😜🇬🇧🇬🇧🙂
Fewer fruit workers?? what about all of the arrivals each day illegally ?? oh, they dont want work!
I would advise you check Gov UK website as it will explain they are not permitted to work until their asylum application has been processed.
@@karl3927 and after? Or are they all doctors and engineers?
@@minuteman4394 If they're granted asylum, then they can apply for work and do so.
There Are Still An Awful Lot of Very Thick People in England.
Who have no Clue what Asylum Means
🇮🇪🇪🇺
If they don’t want to work why would they bother to come ? Imagine you in their place, why would you leave your home,family and friends?
If you can’t answer that then you’re not going to ever understand why your forefathers made the trip either,
The cost of free trade with our European “friends “ is to be part of the EU monster. Free trade is good for both parties, but when there is a currency, flag and anthem it’s time to run for the hills! They speak of “States” of the EU and not countries. Extremely dangerous dictators and I want nothing to do with it. What we had was not free trade. The cost of it was too high and I’m very proud of my countrymen for voting the right way.
In what way are the EU "extremely dangerous" dictators?
And there we have Project Fear. Fear of non-existent "dictators". Fear of friendship and cooperation and sharing rights and obligations with others. Fear is the mind-killer.
WOW! And here children you see the results of eating glue! So remember, dont eat glue!
Oh gosh, once gain putting the thick in brexthick
The assumption you make about Free Trade between a trading block like the EU and a country like GB being beneficial to both sides and therefore desirable is plain wrong. The EU is structured as a syndicate. Members always have preference. 3rd. countries are only given 2nd consideration. The rest of what you are saying is without any substance and part of the British elite's narrative to fool UK citizens into dropping regulations that were hindering Singapore on Thames.
bla bla bla
Keep trying Darryl. Soon you will be able to form words.
