I see the EU Remainers' PROJECT FEAR is alive and well.

...so they can travel round Europe in them ...

But it's vitally important that people can get their motorhomes...

Importing motohomes from the US?
You mean we can already trade with the US?

I'm sorry petra; I know I must be a bit simple minded but I don't understand what you mean. Will every small business have to employ some sort of professional to negotiate their trade deals? Who are these professionals and are there enough of them to go round [and will they make lots of money in the process]. Isn't this what a lot of the money we gave to the EU was for? Professional trade negotiators?

Of course bulk buying is the better deal, I use the principle in my own home, but the EUs trading problem is the 28 countries, I give you Canada as an example, 9 years, and then as they were about to sign, Wallonia objected.
Why do you think the Chinese are talking to the eastern block, because both sides want to move fast.

You might want to do it yourself. But we found when we were importing motohomes from the US it saved a lot of headaches to employ professionals.

I have just been at a labour party event, hearing Keir Starmer talk. He is s brilliant, humane man who is working his hardest to prevent the total mess that could be Brexit. He explained very clearly why he is determined to ensure we do not go down the hard Brexit that TM wanted and how a no deal, which is still a possibility, would be completely disastrous for us - we would in effect be the only country in the world without any trade agreement at all because we would not have been able to negotiate one with any country in the time frame. He also said that after huge efforts by David Davies to block anyone seeing the Brexit impact assessments, which DD boasted were huge and so massively important he couldn't let anyone see one word of them, eventually he was forced to hand them over. These 'huge, massively important' documents which apparently assessed in great detail the impact of Brexit on our country ran to all of two lever arch files. That's it, that's all this shower of a government can come up with. As KS said, that's the amount of paperwork he would expect for one week's trial in a crown court. Please, don't anyone on here respond with any inane comment about how wonderful it is that the impact assessments are so succinct - it's not wonderful, it's a shambles. I have to say, thank goodness TM went for a general election, because that spectacular shot in her own foot meant that KS and his team now have much more chance to influence proceedings.

So will every small company have to re learn how to trade with other countries?

not the deals the EU NEGOTIATES ...for 28 countries ...they have to be better deals than one small collection of countries like the UK ...or dont you beieve that bulk buying always assures a better price and better terms ..it has certainly been my experience in the business I've owned and run for 42 years

The clue in your post is International trade. It's been easy for the past 40? Years to trade with the eu. But from 2019 we will be free to do deals whether they be free trade or with tariffs, but they will be tariffs that we and the trading partner agree on, not what the eu dictates.

I don’t believe everything that any government says Tegan2 but I especially don’t believe much written on social media.If you believe everything you read on FB you may as well believe in the tooth fairy.

Depends who writes it. Do you believe everything this muppet government say, lemon?

Do you believe everything you read on Facebook Tegan2?

Have you not taken on board the comment from the Dept of International Trade, lemon?

I can well believe they are Tegan.

More propaganda instead of logical facts. Some people like Dyson cleaners, some people don't. Neither opinion has anything to do with the EU.

So the government is trying to help businesses, what’s wrong with that? They keep on saying ( businesses) that they need to be prepared, quite rightly, and this meeting seems like a good idea for those who wish to attend.

A comment on facebook; I have permission to reprint it.....govt are getting desperate...'I have just had a phone call from the Department of International Trade asking if we would like to attend a free meeting regarding how we can sell overseas.
In the 35 years, I have run a company I have never had such an offer of help.
I responded, "My goodness the Government must be really very worried about Brexit".
"Yes" was the reply'

Of course paddyann relieved to hear it’s simply because you don’t like them and nothing to do with Brexit.
It just seemed an odd coincidence that posters who were berating Dyson also berated his products.

LEMONGROVE Surely we're allowed our own opinion of Dyson vaccums? I had two ..one that constantly had problems and became too much hassle to keep repairing.the secnd is lying in my garage and has been for a couple of years ,its too heavy to trail up and downstairs and doesn't pick up the fluff that appears on my grandaughters bedroom carpet.I have a SHARK that I now use daily ,its lightweight and it works far better than either of my Dysons ever did ..oh and its easy to take apart to clean the rollers that get long hair wrapped around them.It cost about a third of the price the Dysons did Nothing to do with James Dysons views on Brexit...though I find them abhorrent ,its all about what works for me and my home

Yes i knew that thanks dj
I think I was reading on here that Bosch tumble driers were rubbish and that’s a criticism by implication of the EU ( otherwise why discuss it on here?) I happen to think Dysons are too heavy, too plasticky and too expensive and made in Malaysia so I wouldn’t dream of buying one - thats a free choice isn’t it? Nothing to do with Brexit, but I dislike the hypocrisy of the millionaire owner.

Suzie, I presume you know about the website for the 3 million.

www.the3million.org.uk

another whizzy post....... it's amusing that some say Dyson makes rubbish simply because they don't like Brexit and Dyson voted for us to leave the EU.
no matter what your thoughts on exiting the EU it is a very successful business, the vacuum cleaners are great.
does anyone take this further I wonder, find out what businesses voted for Brexit, what goods etc and then boycott them?
I wouldn't dream of saying daft things about goods because the makers voted Remain [it's a bit weird.]

For the government to sort out all the applications they already have will take over 40 years as it is. They can't cope with any more applications at the moment.
Same with my daughters in law, suzie. They think why should they as they are not wanted here on the same terms they have at the moment.
At the moment it would cost over a thousand pounds to get British citizenship, and they will still not have been born here. They will still be classed as foreigners by morons.

But it’s expensive and I guess she’s thinks why should I? She’s been here since she was 4 , works in the NHS, married to a Brit.

suzied - if they are married, no. But anyone wanting to bring a non EU spouse to UK now has to earn at least £18.000 a year- I believe going up to 22.000. So that might well be the case for EU as well after 2019.

Why does she not apply for British nationality in the meantime? In the old days, French people could not have dual nationality, but now it is perfectly possible.
