It's OK Nick.

James Dyson has moved back.

I'm sure that'll more than cover the loss from you.

Ah well, she only did it once, I bet she is embarrassed about you every day of her life.


Just kidding, I bet she loves you really.
A mother’s love in unconditional.
You have to let your children make mistakes and learn from them hehe
He made no mistake.

Not withstanding the Brexit voters will suffer the consequences.

We have already moved on to protect our self interests.

Tax loss to the UK but as a resident still get the benefits. Win Win!

Just him isn't it?

Somebody has to pay for the Brexiteers that barely pay their way.

At least Bo Jo has been caught out for the lying fraud he is.

Anyway new yacht ready for the racing season. Lucky my house here is in a great location.

Business allows me to come and go as I please.

Just him? You are aware how many moved to Singapore?

That's 50% of the total - and I'm quite certain he will be paying more in taxes than many thousands of 'normal range' people. You included.

Business allows you to come and go as you please? If you're saying you're non-domiciled, and therefore not paying income taxes here, then no, it doesn't.

Do not assume incorrect inferences.

I'm good at the i's and Tees so have confirmation that my travel is legitimate.

I'll stick to my knitting maybe you should stick to yours.

First of all the EU vaccination programm doesn't exits. It's a vaccination procurement programm. The nations themselves are in full control over their respective vaccination programms.

However the EU nations decided, based on solidarity with the less well off nations within the EU, to join an EU wide procurement programm.

For some the outcome is less desirable, for others it may prove to be a better solution.
Truth mixed with luies & delusion. Fair play.

You can pretend the referendum was a win for democracy, but it's quite obvious the only reason you portray it as such is because your vote ended up on the right side of the argument.
It's a win for democracy because the majority vote prevailed despite attempts from the quislings to ignore it.

DeltonaS said:
I hope you do realise that your onesided view is beyond silly, you really don't get it.
Again; if you want to make up your own rules without having to listen to 27 other nations the end result is quite clear.
Wanting to not be hampered to suit many others isn't entirely silly, squire.

DeltonaS said:
The best of both worlds is what we all want, but it doesn't exist.
I think most leavers just wanted an equitable, sensible, pragmatic deal which would honestly be in the best interests of all concerned. The spite pretty much came from the other side.

"tax loss to the UK but still resident" - the only possible option for that is non-dom.

Which has very strict restrictions.

Now, you probably are keeping within those restrictions - but you certainly can't 'come and go as you please'...

One decent illness where you avail yourself of the NHS - and thanks for the tax for that entire tax year.

British dairy exports remained at drastically low levels in February in the wake of Brexit, according to figures published by the AHDB.

The figures, drawn from HMRC data, show trade with Europe down more than 90% for certain products compared with a year earlier.

AHDB analyst Charlie Reeve said that in February 2020 there were 76,500 tonnes of unprocessed milk shipped from the UK to Europe. But Brexit trade conditions meant this fell to just 131t in the same four weeks of 2021.

Bulk cream exports also slumped, from 901t in February 2020 to just 436t – a 55% decline.

Other product categories also saw dramatic year-on-year declines.

Cheese exports fell by 75%, whey 83% and milk powder 86%, while butter exports were down 89% on February 2020 levels.

Despite the extreme lows Mr Reeve said these figures were a marginal improvement on January 2021, immediately after the UK left the EU.

However, buttermilk and yoghurt, which saw the biggest year-on-year drop, slumped further during February to 91% below last year or about 10,000t less product shipped.

Be interesting to see the import stats too. Shock horror probe, avid Remainer not presenting the full picture, surely an unintentional mistake.

Well Scottish whisky supermarket prices still seem to be the same here in Germany at the moment for which I am very very grateful!

However I see a lot more Irish butter in the supermarkets and Dutch !?! "Cheddar" !?! cheese.

Our local "English" shop that was importing for the Brits and the ex-Army "remainers" here has pretty much closed which is quite sad.

I was planning to buy a UK Nord amp but in the end decided it would be too much hassle so am going to buy US as they have local distribution in Germany.

Life goes on.

The Imports and Exports data that this is based on is published to api.uktradeinfo.com, point Excel at it and you too can see whether this is the whole picture....
