Apparently we now employ more faceless minions shoving paper around so that lorries can park up for hours on end on the M2, while the "fresh produce" we're trying to export to Europe rots away, than faceless minions the whole EU operation currently employs to shove paper around. Another Brexit benefit.

Where once there were a few sheets of paper to cover what had been done simply and easily on-line in a few minutes there's now a 100 page chapter of War and Peace required for every mixed load, because our own on-line thingy no longer works (well, Microsoft did shut down Windows 95 support a long time ago) and someone has to check it all manually. Oh, and we still aren't checking the incoming stuff because we haven't got round to recruiting anyone to do it yet. We might need to bring some "forriners" in that can speak "forrin" languages to do that, apparently but we don't pay the minimum Home Office wage requirements for that job for it to be classed as essential ..... go figure.

Yes I made most of that 2nd paragraph up (the 1st is true) but I challenge Pritti ferkin Useless to prove how far from the truth I am.
