How much of this can be attributed to the pandemic and shutdowns, and not directly to simply not being an EU country anymore? After all, there are plenty of non-EU countries in the general region - is the UK doing worse, average, or better than those nations?
- ClumsyPilot 4y agoThe comparison is against peer countries in the EU, like France. The government failed at every level of due dilligence, like it exited EURATOM without agreeing any replacement. It has nothing to do with EU /single market, but they quit it anyway. 99.99% of brexiters didn't know Euratom even exists. UK exited customs union (despite this not being asked at referendun) but to this date has no customs checks because it has not hired officers or built facilities to carry out checks. It has failed to provide France with custom checking facilities at dover, and there were queues for hundreds of miles this summer with truck drivers defecating out in the open. Like some of this is so mad its hard to believe. My cost of sending parcels to EU has tripled overnight.
