25.12.2020 Christmas Cheer?

 ~~

Friday 25th 28F A hard, white frost after a clear, moonlit night. My usual walk to the lanes in bright, low sunshine. Traffic light. A few gulls. Cloudless sky.

Brexit has been agreed and opinions vary widely. Buying stuff from the UK is going to get very expensive it seems. Add £17 for the Danish Post Office to clear customs then add 25% Danish VAT on top of literally everything. This is for anything costing over £8 in the UK. These charges will also be payable on GIFTS from family and friends!

All of this is going to make a lot of UK online dealers so ridiculously expensive that they might as well close down all sales to the EU. The paperwork costs alone will make UK online retail to the EU into a farce.

Ironically most of the goods they sell will be coming from China. An unfair proportion of it it produced by Sly's vast, private army of forced, slave labour. 

Amazon.DE will be laughing all the way to the bank. Amazon.UK might as well close down sales to the EU altogether. Familiar and favourite foods from the UK will rise in price in Danish shops and from online dealers. Well done Cheeky Charlie "Fromage!" The Wrexit ventriloquist's dummy. With Boris "The Clown" Johnston as the straight man in this tragi-comic duo.

Did I forget to wish everybody a Merry Christmas? Surely not?
