Speaking as a 'fat &
lazy' Director of a small business set up after being made redundant
during Thatcher's recession riddled years, I am intrigued that Liam
Fox is already laying the ground to blame everyone but himself for
the inevitable failure to protect UK PLC from BREXIT.
Our modest turnover
includes a small but growing slice of exports
of which about half goes to the EU. Thanks to Liam Fox those exports
are now threatened by the imposition of Tariffs; Customs Handling and
the inevitable red-tape,costs and delays that brings with it; and the
imposition of overseas VAT rates which are overwhelmingly higher than
UK rates for the goods that we export.
Thanks to the end of
freedom of movement I will no longer be able to work in EU, and a
faceless bureaucratic at the Home Office will decide whom I am
allowed to recruit instead of leaving it to UK businesses and
universities to select the best person for the job. I now understand
that I will have buy a Visa in order to travel to Europe for work or
leisure.
Far from a great new
trading future, Britain will be consigned to the backwater of the
world's economy, and Liam Fox is one the BREXIT wrecking crew who are
to blame.
