Some bright spark has come up with the idea of having a system where you and goods can move around most of Europe freely.
No costly insurance or checks at the borders, in fact any borders. Goods going either way won't even have to pay any tax. And there's a guarantee that everything from food to electrical goods will be safe.
Imagine the restrictions and delays being lifted. Exporters could move back to the UK. The City could begin to recover the billions it has lost in trade, fishermen could get back to work as could any number of small businesses who export to Europe.
It would be for UK residents what the Berlin Wall coming down was for East Germans. A lifting of the gloom and failure that has descended upon the country.
Silly idea though, it might suit those foreign johnnies over the water, but we should be concentrating on sealing up the Channel Tunnel and looking inward a bit more.

We had a welleducated public, untill politicians got involved. they then decided that everyone needed a uuniversity education. Since then we have a shotage of apprenice trained skilled workforce. We now have a situation where skilled worker's are served by bar staff & waiters with a degree. |
You are clear evidence that your first sentence is utter guff. |  |

You mean the same system agreed by the EU in 1990. However we managed quite well in the common market before 1990. Get over it we have left the EU. |
We have left the EU, and will inexorably sink further and further down the world economic league table. |  |

I'm sure our fisherman and exporters are finding their patriotism and blue passport sandwiches delicious. |
Fisherman will get the support they diserve despite the EU & Macron's best efforts too screw them over .Exporters will thrive ,as for blue passport sandwinches, perhaps you by eat the crap Subway dish out, I will pas on that. | | | |

The most depressing thing about this is that our education system is at least partially to blame - and of course who's been in charge of that ...
So chicken & egg - where do you start?  |
The long term downgrading of education funding and standards is the seed bed for brexit and other barmy ideas. |  | | |

Crikey fella, you're not doing your sort, or whatever argument you're trying to advance, many favours when you keep posting car crash posts like that. | |

No they won't.
Local fishing in this country is dead and buried. And it had nothing to do with the EU.
Sincerely,
Someone whose family relied on the industry for decades and got put out of work. | |

Exporters love the extra cost and red tape. It's made life so much easier to not have frictionless movement of goods into the world's most affluent trading bloc.

I also don't know you mate, & you know me, so you tell me to belt up just because I disagree with you. I think you may have a problem with freedom of speech. | | | |

No, say what you like. But I'm also free to call it a load of unsubstantiated boll0cks, which it is.
I'm sorry you've been sold a pack of lies, I really am, but your life and work obviously haven't been affected by your voting habits. [Post edited 20 May 2021 18:03]

To be fair, I don't think free speech is his problem. In fact, you seem to be objecting to what he's saying just as much as he's objecting to your words.
I think the problem is that dear old Footers has a problem with blowhard big mouths who are too arrogant to know and accept the limitations of their own knowledge. And you seem to have a problem with people not patting you on the back for every single thing you come out with. | |

Did I say they were less educated. Point I was making a lot of young people would be better of having a trade rather than a degree. | | | |
