GDP was down 2.9% in January as the supply chains have been thrown into havoc and business disruptions have been described as "endemic," and it turns out the government didn't do an economic assessment on the trade deal despite it being the most consequential trade agreement in memory. It's one thing to have the economy torpedoed by global macro economic conditions, it's an entirely different one to steer the ship headlong into the iceberg as Britain has done.

Shipping between mainland UK to Europe and even Northern Ireland is now such a hassle that I don't consider it unless totally desperate. I shipped some products to a guy in Slovakia and it took 3 weeks to "process" in customs. Germany was about the same, and even Northern Ireland, usually only 2 days took over a week.

The time to process stuff will probably get faster, sure, but still got to attach export documents where they were not required before in addition to the extra cost. Kinda sucks.

That was known way beforehand, not like it was something out of nowhere, when you get out of EU, they have to treat you like any other nation, if you ship something from Gambia to France, the same protocols happen to those items as the ones from Britain, which is why it has been a thing and will be a thing that takes a long time. If you are expecting these things to get easier, I have to say that it will not, you should have considered this long before brexit happened in Britain.

I know some of you guys didn't wanted it, but the nation wanted it so much that you had 3 presidents over course of like one year just to make it happen, you wanted it THAT much, then ended up voting for a trump look a like just so you can get out. This is why I think it is quite obvious that Britain will hurt because of this, but they will eventually get better and get used it over longer period of time.
