    Yes you are correct. Korea being given a better trade deal than the UK does highlight the approach of the EU to the UK public's decision to leave the political union. If you remember the UK government were formally for remaining.

    Country of Origin rules should never just be about % value but also include significant transformation.

    I guess they will have to double down on service exports instead, which they do much better and which are much more valuable than low end manufacturing anyway?

    Pretty hilarious claiming “being open for business” then scrapping refunds because “now being out of the EU we don’t want EU tourists to claim refunds so refunds have to go, the heck with any associated benefits from tourism spend”.

    Idiotic. But VAT is a domestic tax and should be charged on importation of new products for cinsumption.

    Post Brexit - UK benefits from a influx of higher skilled non-EU migrants

    https://www.theguardian.com/commenti...ges-uk-economy

    Using the argument angle often used does this mean the Pro-Remain are clearly racist as more national, ethnic and more importantly skills diversity has been enabled rather than people who look like the indigenous population . There were still large numbers of EU citizens moving to the UK.

    This huge boost in numbers is probably unpopular with many but is good for the country building long term social and economic links with the world as well as the obvious economic boost. But again they may be the wrong ethnicity for the EU centric minded.

    My goodness, I really wonder how twisted your mind has be to draw such fucked up conclusions?

    Remainers are racist because the wrong sort of immigrants are coming after Brexit? What on this sweet Earth are you wanking on about?

    There was a smiley face. But yes labelling people who wanted unfettered migration from fellow European countries (look similar) rather than controlled immigration from the whole world (look dissimilar) as racist is clearly a nonsense argument just as labelling people who wanted to be out of a European political union as racist as was oft stated for pro-Brexit voters.

    I am sure there were a small but heavily referenced group racists who shortsightedly saw Brexit as a tool to reduce Eastern Europeans but the vast majority did not see Brexit as an isolationist approach and knew migration patterns would change rather than stop.

    You have peddled this lie for more than six years now. It’s the same as a Donald Trump and Boris Johnson - repeating lies won’t make them any more believable…. And tarnishes your credibility even further.

    You are stating people that supported Brexit were racist for doing so?
