The devil is in the details and it always has been. Send your cheeses to Singapore, sir.

As the good ship HMS chugs about in rough seas I wonder when then brexit iceberg will sink us. As with the titanic the first class passengers will sail of into the sunset and the rest will go down with the ship.

I think boris forgot to turn the oven on.

Nothing to do with 'lockdowns' then and the collapse of catering ? Under EU rules Cheshire cheese made elsewhere would have separate labelling and name, I suggest 'raisin sur'.

Not only them. Fortnum & Mason Emmabridgewater Penhaligon's Harrods have suspended any delivery to EU. Vendors from whom we regularly used to purchase goods for years. Are you so sure that this will make Britain the wonderful country that Boris Johnson has “sold” to his voters?

Y'all don't be smug with this fella, he voted remain

This is called the brain drain.

What is it with all these people moaning , adapt or go out of business, it really is that simple.

Are there any..and i mean any businesses out there that are actually better off since we left the EU? I don't see any queuing up to trumpet the success story of Brexit.

What a mess has been made by the lies that were told. Brexiters wanted a past that didn't exist. Now, you have a future that shouldn't exist. Utterly disgraceful. Every politician who supported Brexit should face the consequences of their lies.

Another 'Brexit success', what could be wrong? Brexshit

He must be cheesed off that he did not get the sunlit uplands. Wonder if he voted for Brexit

Ps do they not think that people are not ordering because of the pandemic? 🤷🏿

They didn’t do their homework: “...,after discovering he needed to provide a £180 health certificate on retail orders to consumers in the EU”

Will the Guardian please cover the potential minefield for people posting parcels to the EU. Being in the middle of this minefield has shed a light on one of Johnson’s deals that I believe is going to come to light as more people have issues. What we don’t know is how many...

What a friend we have in cheeses.

Hard Cheese 🧀?

I wonder how many leavers are leaving the country?

Brexit is effectively destroying the British economy. The slaughter is being obscured by the fog of Covid 19. When it lifts there will be no sunny uplands to celebrate.
