Another one for the total lack of surprise category:-

 

Exporters advised by Department for International Trade officials to form EU-based companies to circumvent border issues

 

Wow, the first paragraph.

“British businesses that export to the continent are being encouraged by government trade advisers to set up separate companies inside the EU in order to get around extra charges, paperwork and taxes resulting from Brexit.”

What a lying, craven, amoral, self-serving set of psychos we’ve got running this country.

I like this bit best

Andrew Moss, who runs Horizon Retail Marketing Solutions, based in Ely, Cambridgeshire, and selling packaging and point-of-sale marketing displays in the UK and to EU customers, is registering a European company Horizon Europe in the Netherlands in the next few weeks, on the advice of a senior government adviser.

This will mean laying off a small number of staff here and taking on people in the Netherlands.

I think even Arthur Daley would've considered the Government's advice as too low & spivvy, even for him

He did have some standards, they weren’t very high but at least he had some unlike this mob of Tories.

It may seem strange that this is the advice given but it is the correct thing to do given the new rules.

The reverse is also happening with EU businesses setting up offices and distribution facilities in the UK.
Many of our large Italian suppliers opened UK hubs last year in preparation for Brexit, and I have long-standing UK offices of German and Scandinavian brands that have now opened warehousing as well.

These businesses all manufacture outside of the EU so will just ship goods direct to the UK now from their Asian and North American suppliers.

Obviously it depends on the scale of their businesses as to whether it’s worth doing this, and the same goes for UK businesses thinking of opening a base in the EU.

It's hilarious is what it is. Taking back control apparently means being forced to set up a new company in the EU with its own running costs in order to stand still.

Asked about their views of Brexiteers... "I think they’ll be afraid to show up around here. Many people are angry."

 

What they need is someone telling them how unpatriotic they're being, and that they need to work a bit harder... that'll sort 'em!

They're all luvin' it, luvin' it. What I don't get is how all this helps the forgotten places like Bolsover and Clay Cross, who were told this was for them. I mean, I know it's very early days, but by what mechanism will the inward investment they need happen?
