The relationship between Scotland and Europe - especially France - was changed by the Reformation. You will probably prove me wrong but not even you can be daft enough to deny this. You do realise that Scotland’s refusal to follow England’s lead - pressed for by Anglophile BritNat Charles I - led to a war which killed a higher proportion of the population than did the First World War. But aye, everything was hunky dory in the racist, Europhobic, BritNat reading of history, in which Scotland turned its back on the Frogs during the Reformation and began a smooth march towards political subservience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope the whole county gets tarmac'd. And that's before you get on to the racist outrage that Britain would have a tunnel directly linking us to France - TO THE FRENCH! It's alright for you Scots, you're miles away - we'll have to put up with them! They absolutely voted to leave the EU, and they completely deserve the consequences. 22 hours ago, Jedi said: What are the Daily Mail, Express and Sun et al going to put on their front pages now? after 30 odd years of anti-EU invective....back to mindless celebrity news or how wonderful the royal family is I suppose, as well as how dreadful Starmer is. They'll carry on as normal; everything will still be the fault of the EU. Non-stop stories about Britain being held back as the realities of the trade deal become more obvious, and the obstructive foreigners who won't just let us do as we jolly well like because who won the bloody war anyway. It'll be interesting to see if Boris gets the blame, or if he's cast as the poor beleaguered Prime Minister who was up against insurmountable odds. Basically more Churchill comparisons. You can expect to see agitation to welch on what we've agreed to and start a trade war. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Also worth bearing in mind that, if there was some way to offload all of the negative consequences of Brexit on to, say, their downmarket neighbours in Essex, Kentish folk would do it in a heartbeat and laugh at their misfortune, with not a single f**k given. The absolute home of NIMBYism, and the parliamentary home of Ann Widdecombe. f**k them, before they f**k you. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another wee heads up,buying items from EBay will be dearer if bought from E.U. Countries. Add 20% VAT. VAT will be charged at 20% until April 1st 2022. Just found out that Post Office costs will be charge on average £12.00. Can't believe that at all. There are sufficient ware tatties in Fife with no need to import from Spain 9we export some seed to Spain and as a result usually have a surplus of ware left over once dressed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no reason why eBay purchases would not have already had VAT included other than the sellers breaking the law. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Local VAT would have been payable when we were part of the EU, but would that apply now if the goods were being supplied to a location outside the EU? I'd have thought import VAT would be payable on entry to the UK. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say, VAT was payable before and it's payable now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before we'd pay the vat at the EU country of origin, will that now have to be deducted and the UK rate added?
