Cat Door Brexit

You really know nothing about Brexit and I don’t have the time to educate you.

Just one consideration about Brexit: how do you regulate the crossing of animals between the UK and french border? You need years of negotiations for that alone. And you have to regulate stuff like chocolate. Can a german sell chocolate in Spain? Yes, because the chocolate is regulated and has to follow the same safety and health guidelines in both Germany and Spain. Can a UK citizen sell his chocolate in Spain? Technically yes, but he needs to conform to two different set of regulations, the European one and his local one. Now, the UK has decided, among a lot of other things, that they will get out of Europe. What happens to regulations? The UK has to implement 30 years of European norms and regulations in their own laws. It’s a gargantuan, rather impossible thing to do in only 2 years. What happens if the UK government fails to negotiate a new trade deal with each of the 28 european countries? The old norms and regulations get enforced, which means that basically nothing can be traded without absurdly high costs up until the UK brokers a new set of rules with 28 countries.

Btw, what about the cooperation between the ECB and the Bank of England?

What about the European doctors and nurses working in the UK?

What about the commitment to fight climate change?

It’s a shit show.

Just for clarification: if they want to leave, they’re more than welcome, sayonara. Nonetheless I can’t help but feel sorry for the generations of UK citizen who have been cheated and robbed of a better future.
