EU exports are only 16% to the UK. We are France's biggest agricultural export I doubt the French farmers are loving Macron sticking it to us. As for their fishermen something is better than nothing which is what they are facing now. I maybe wrong about this next comment so I'm sure our resident Irish expert will correct me if I am wrong but the Irish politicians seem to have dialled back the anti British stuff in the last few weeks. I think a no deal will hurt them so they seem quite keen for a compromise. I would happily do a deal with the Irish and give their agricultural produce favourable terms although i assume that the EU would not allow that.

There seem to be no preparations for a No deal here, so maybe we know something. Maybe the government incompetent or in thrall to the EU so much that they just have to put up and shut up. I think you're right about the rhetoric, however, general nationalistic programmes on the up at the moment.

As far as I am aware from what I have read, Ireland exports most of it's goods to the EU via what is known as the 'short route' - Ireland to UK - by road to the UK east coast ports and shipped across to the EU. If there is a no-deal exit, all those goods will have to have the UK import tariff paid on them, making it nonviable or they have to go the longer shipping route round England to Europe. For perishable goods this is a real no no as it adds so much time to the delivery.

'Brexit stockpiling causing 10-mile tailbacks in Calais, severe delays as businesses try to get goods into Britain before a potential no-deal Brexit on 1 January'. And this is before it has even started. A portent, an appetiser, of our great trading future. And of course brexiteers telling us it is a 'teething problem' or the tories 'not our problem'.

EU exports are only 16% to the UK. And that gap can be filled from 140 odd other countries who will grab our business and requests.

You are correct in that the government and whoever is responsible for the ports have not planned adequately. The tailbacks have nothing to do with EU dirty tricks and all about lack of investment in infrastructure. That said they will get it right although it should not have happened in the first place. This is not a reason to reverse the Brexit decision but maybe a reason to kick Johnson out unless he gets his act together. Edited by Badger11 (12 Dec 2020 3.33pm)
