Living behind the Gammon Curtain. Industrial scale snark with the occasional post about the EU, customs and borders. Really, really hates racists.

Brexiters, if you can't understand why the EU won't let you send goods unchecked into their territory let me explain it to you in simple terms:
A question: would you buy a car, sight unseen, from someone you didn't know? I'm assuming you aren't completely stupid, so I'll say no.

As someone who used to design customs borders for a living I can confirm that it would indeed be an act of self harm. But then I also want the UK to do it to experience it for themselves.
@vivamjm
I wonder how many realise the Brexit import checks were never done and never will be. ..? It'd be too much (Mogg's words) "self harm".
thus from Brexit date 1/1/21, the unilateral advantaging of the EU (their exporters over UK counterparts)... & smugglers ...will continue.
The only solutions are rejoining the EU (SM & CU),
or (the incumbent Govt's apparent plan) extending the Windsor Framework to the whole UK.
This latter *will* level up the playing field for GB producers & remove the worst of the GB/NI border controls, but also make the whole UK a genuine vassal state to the EU, which the Brexiters always lied we were when an EU/ECJ member, with full representation

As with previous years I won't be wearing a poppy. I refuse to wear one while it has been co-opted by the ultra nationalist scum pretending to be patriots.
I shall donate though.

Anyone know why we've silenced these 67 people? What did they do?
And "think" is doing some heavy lifting here.

Do you know what I can't get my head around? That the strongest military in the world went to war on the orders of man with pre-frontal dementia. They'd blindly accept orders that were morally unjustifiable even though they were issued by a sick man.

The interesting question for me is the difference in aspiration between these 2 vehicles. One captures the joi de vivre of the Cote d'Azure, sunshine, pastis and good food. The other reflects urban survival: bulletproof, aggressiveness, nothing positive.
I know which one I like
