Yet more 'benefits' - the Scottish fishing industry, who naively thought Brexit would be the proverbial 'good thing', are now realising they've been sold a lie.

I do hope they will remember this come May.

Serves them right. They clearly were filling in the wrong forms /s. Of course, when we were in the EU, they didn't need to fill in any forms.

This is actually getting really quite painful. All of these "minor" problems with red tape and bureaucracy and borders are beginning to add up into quite a mountain. I think we deserve an apology for the Brexiteers for making us put up with all this shit.

Not really a big deal but I am having a ready to cook meal delivered from one of my favourite restaurants at the weekend. It has a Burgundy (not Ron) theme but they can't get the planned cheese Langres Petit so it will be Tain Truckle Chedder

The 'benefits' continue.

It seems if someone on the EU ordered £25 worth of cheese from this company it would need to be accompanied by a health certificate costing £180 - utter madness: a scenario seemingly missed by our wonderful negotiators.

Good news. I've found another benefit of Brexit

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-55796426

Credit card company fees are capped at 0.3% in the EU. We are not in the EU anymore, so Mastercard is raising its fees for transactions between here and the EU to 1.5%.

Oh wait, that's only a benefit to Mastercard and its shareholders.

How long is it going to be before the Brexiteers realise they screwed up?
