Title: UK Consumers Boycotting EU Goods
Post by: Wildfisher on April 05, 2021, 11:36:58 AM
The  Eu's own figures are showing a 27% decrease in EU exports to the UK as UK consumers appear to be actively boycotting EU goods following the bloc's disgraceful post Brexit behaviour and especially their petulant vaccine tantrums.  Not even slightly surprising really.

Most reports are about the  drop in exports and resultant doom and gloom. Nice to see it from the other aspect.

Food and goods now coming in from non-EU countries- mostly China and Africa - as they no longer have to meet EU standards.
Two shiploads of -70C freezers arrived from China for vaccine storage, filled with EU-banned CFC's. Veg arriving in refrigerated containers without an inert atmosphere. >1500 Watt vacuums appearing for sale. Predictions that the soft fruit industry here is finished.

Great news for the third world famers who were intentionally crippled and kept in poverty by EU protectionism. The world is a big place.  :8)

Surprised to read about the fridges with CFCs. I thought we were not altering these standards.

We are not. It's most likely fake news and if it's not they won't be used anyway. Unlike of course German cars with emissions cheat devices fitted.  :lol:

I read that Germany has lost over £2 billion in exports to the UK already and they are fuming.
