Where to start?
In the USA, where Donald Trump incited his followers to stage an attempted armed coup?
Halfway across the Atlantic where various politicians tried to ridicule British politicians for criticising Trump when all they had done was suggest that perhaps a second vote on the misinformed advisory Brexit referendum that was being treated as a mandate for a “hard Brexit” might not be a bad idea.
One in particular that I’ve been following is Andrew RT Davies, a (and I dislike this phrase more than you could know) Welsh Tory.
What’s worse is that even after many comments he doubled down on it and quoted Darren Grimes’ tweet:
Meanwhile, back to the Brexit stuff that kicked this all off.
- European buyers of British goods have been surprised by the imposition of VAT.
- I’m wary of talking too much about .eu domain names, but leave.eu transferred their registration to Ireland (as they had to do or lose the domain).
- Supermarkets (or at least shipping companies) were not fully prepared for the extra paperwork to transfer goods from Great Britain to Ireland.
- John Lewis has scrapped deliveries outside the UK.
This really is going to be a long year.
