There are already delays as French customs staff are revolting - strikes to demand extra staff to cope with all the checks on goods to the UK so lorries are already queuing at Calais and the Chunnel and presumably other northern French ports with ferry links to England.
I'm looking forward to it all pouring in unchecked and free of tariffs via Eire and Northern Ireland. Drugs, illegal immigrants, people trafficking along with everything else.

Deep and meaningful thought whilst engaged in a mindless activity:
When you take the human out of the equation, does a bee have more right to life than a slug or a vine weevil grub? If you took a tally, taking in to account bug killers, weed killers etc, do gardeners kill more species than they grow?

I've always been of the opinion that slugs are essential to any garden. They work just as hard as bees and are just as important in the ecosystem. They're toiling away breaking down dead plants and improving your soil and feeding the frogs and hedgehogs. Vine weevils on the other hand can f**k off.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
But nature would survive even if we didn't . Throughout most of the planet, we decide what is a pest and what should survive. The natural environment isn't really natural.
