Lol, if only there was some way we could have some kind of agreement with close trading partners to not require customs checks.
While correct and leaving was stupid.
This is a worldwide competition. And as such has procedures to allow entry from non EU nations.
So it really is the one place where Brexit stupidity should not have left the UK at a disadvantage.
Clearly something went wrong. And if the articles claim that the UK was trying to communicate with EU customs and identify that fault is correct. And no other nation fell into this issue.
It seems like this may not be a one-off issue. But instead, something that increases the burden to UK traders beyond even our own stupidity. To the point where we can't even compete with other non EU nations within the EU.
It is a one off issue for a country that wouldn't have been a possibility if they hadn't left the EU. They set themselves up for the chance of failure.
