What bollocks. A trade deal is a trade deal. It’s got fuck all to do with being behi;d it or not. The red tape previously we didn’t have is causing the issues plus the VAT. I have an English shop in the Brussels suburbs . Great place pre Brexit English Cheddar, Bacon , Sausages etc . Now they are too expensive to import so it’s all Irish produce.

Was always nonsense with no positive end game
Woukd be nice for people to be honest why they voted for it

I don’t know Boris
All I know is that he is an appalling buffoon who never should have been in public office 
We appeared to have a run of dismal Tory leaders 
Tory members even voted for Liz Truss
Those people are very quiet these days

Obviously what does matter to most Brexit voters is stopping immigration 
How is that going under Brexit?
You obviously aren’t painting enough roundabouts

Business have to trade within the environment that the population of a particular country chose to live by - they are not a special, over-riding case - that is the first step to stripping out democracy and replacing it with corporate-led globalisation.

It's not the fault of Brexit or those who democratically chose it that businesses didn't use the extra 4 years they were given to update and adapt THEIR processes to meet the post=Brexit environment.

If there's excessive red tape and paperwork, the best course of action is to take up the case with those who insist on such red tape and paperwork, not to keep blaming  the UK population.

As I have said before it is the fault of the Tories not the people who voted in that the government chose to to go for for the most damaging version of leaving the EU for the sake of idealogical purity.
They didn't have to do that but they actively chose to do it.
I remember Daniel Hannon saying that "nobody is talking about leaving the single market".
Leaving the single market was not on the ballot paper.

The UK was in the EU & had ease of trade with fellow EU countries
Not sure what businesses were supposed to do when faced with extra paper work and hoops to jump through trying to trade as they did before non EU members. They have to play by the rules that the EU demands of non members
What part of that trade is as easy or better than it was?
Still at least Brexit has reduced the arrival of Johnny Foreigner which was the aim of Brexit voters. It HAS hasn’t it?
And if that wasn’t the motivation of most voters what was?
As David Beckham would say BE HONEST
