And even I appreciate that
and they don't want UK in EU anyway, because UK would hinder their plans for 4th reich
They want UK's cash and markets
France especially wants UK out
France originally vetoed us joining
And now they're desperate to keep us in
nah France are aren.t massively keen on us staying
They are due to the economic factors
but they don't want us to crash out with the deal
they want us to do the May deal so they keep the economic benefits without having to put up with thwarting more intergration
The Hauts-de-France region in the north of that country (where President Emmanuel Macron was born) also has strong economic ties to the U.K. Its official, François Decoster, stresses that “in the automotive sector, there are major concerns regarding future relations with the U.K, particularly on the part of the car maker Toyota, which operates in the region. For example, 13 percent of Yaris exports in 2016 went to the U.K.”
There are also concerns about the port of Calais. If the U.K. leaves the single market and customs union — as is the government's stated aim — “the police/customs authorities will have to treat the U.K. like any other third country, for example by applying the common customs tariff to goods originating in the U.K,” the submission reads. "This could have a negative impact on the fluidity of trade flows between the ports of Calais and Dover," it warns.
The French département of Finistère, in Brittany, is bracing itself for a hit to its fishermen. “The end of the access to the British fishing areas to the Finistère fishing boats is a real economic risk, 50 percent of the fishing activity in Brittany region ... is made inside the British Exclusive Economic Zone,” warned local official Nathalie Sarrabezolles.
lol Calais is already a dump
And it'll be even worse

“Wholesaling and processing of sea products provides 5,000 jobs in 150 companies. Thus significant effects are to be expected in the case of a hard Brexit,” he adds. The official warns that if the U.K. withdraws from the CFP, the whole thing may "unravel."
Getting out of CFP and CAP is one of the key (albeit minor) reasons for getting out of the EU
Perhaps all these threats, whether to EU economies or to our own, should be addressed by pointing out "Well this wouldn't be happening if the EU had remained a trade-only body and the UK retained full control of it's borders/immigration"
Because let's get real, this is why this is all happening - EU federal project creep + intransigence on their part
As they are coming in for sales meetings, discounts etc
I continue to be told "We have stock it's not gonna be an issue"
It's as if they prepared or something
"Can you give me a lead time?"
3-5 working days
"What about after the 31st?"
*Slight chuckle*
3-5 working days
It was always a project-fear thing, the delays were only going to be transient during the switchover
Honestly zero suppliers are worried
So why the fuck should I be worried
Those guys are the ones that actually have to do the paperwork
In fact it's decreased lead times in a few cases
As some companies have been setting up warehouse space in the UK
So I'm getting some stuff next day instead
Electrical cabinets used to be over a week lead time
I got the latest in 2 days

The thing that is hurting us is this stupid political shit.
**The matter has been settled**
We had the vote!
No ifs or buts
You should have put the energy you are using to whining about the result into campaigning in the 2016 referendum if it was so important to you
But you didn’t
So reap what you sow
