No changes to tariffs in trade so that is very likely fake. Went on his timeline and that tweet is from 14th December. So someone is either trying to scam him or he is just fear mongering

The most accurate assessment I could found was researched by The Guardian:
Fishing industry is going to suffer under the new deal:

Unresolved issues which affect 80% of UK's economy:

There is a parcel VAT effective as of 1.1.2020:

Worker rights under threat:

The fact EU is in a hurry to unanimously ratificate the new deal tells us how much of a "win" the new deal is

Happy Brexit!

Boris' dad applied for French citizenship.

Can't make this up (if true)

It's being reported by both CNN & BBC. The grandma comes from Alsace-Lorraine which was contested between France and Germany. Their family has actually a very interesting background as it turns out.

So the UK-backstabber has got French routs oO

Brexit deal mentions Netscape browser and Mozilla Mail

State of the art deal

They apparently copy-pasted that part from the old EU contracts, so it's not as idiotic as it sounds, it's just lazy.

Really vibing with Boris' dad story though, that shit is gold!

gross miscalculation there by brother @Unique

Ex-Brexit Party MEP says Johnson’s deal has left her fishing business ‘on its knees’

Feel like I've read a dozen stories like this one in the past few days. And most still say they would vote for Brexit again

Basically, UK gouvernment advised export oriented companies in UK to create a proxy in EU to bypass border traffic

I hope they get taxed and tolled into oblivion. Idiots.

Let’s tell it how it is. The EU are not locking us out. The Government, by interpreting Brexit as ‘keep them foreign’s out’, dumped us out of the single market and customs union, thus kneecapping half our industry and probably breaking up the U.K. https://t.co/xTaphWbpNz

I had actually predicted this a couple of years ago. There was all kinds of Euro centric organizations in London such as Pharma approvals, stock market and clearing houses. I was actually lobbying folks in Madrid, there was a huge opportunity to attract these businesses.

https://www.politico.eu/article/brexit-is-going-badly-say-brits-in-new-poll/

The number of people with a positive take on Brexit was down seven percentage points from June, to 18 percent — of those, 14 percent said it was going "fairly well" and just 4 percent "very well."

Going about as well as everyone predicted, right?
Shortages in all avenues where everyone told Brits that immigrants did all the work, problems with imports after reinstating tolls towards the EU... Basically, it's unfolding as predicted.

Do you think that the purpose of immigration should be to form a new “untouchable” underclass doing undesirable work?
I believe Henry the 8th had a hired ass wiper. Perhaps Western Europeans will reach that level of decadence where immigrants will become synonymous with ass wiping?

Exploiting Eastern Europe’s lower standard of living is the worst immigration argument.
If you want social justice, I guess that means making everyone’s job at least somewhat desirable. But if you make picking fruit desirable, then native workers will start doing it and it’s no longer a pro immigration issue.
You should choose if you want to reduce economic inequalities, or if you’d rather perpetuate it so that it can continue being a wedge that incentivises immigration.

That's some Unique level trollery in your post.
How the shit did you read that into my post?
I'm just saying everyone told Brits there'd be a post-Brexit labor shortage, and now there is.

That all important jobs should be desirable is another discussion entirely, and I don't think it's one that England will tackle under Torie rule.
