People like you and Charles Mason of Cluny Lace (below) need to stop being so negative. Believe in Brexit more and the benefits will flow!

Letter: One company’s bitter experience of Brexit

Good luck to those British companies who want to import from the EU when the post-Brexit customs checks start.

In our case, after a recent audit, HM Revenue & Customs has decided to levy an 8 per cent duty on the return of all the lace that we manufacture in the UK, send to France for dyeing, and then get back for further finishing.

This is backdated over two years to when Brexit started.

We have spent more than 200 years building our business, fought for 30 years against the global textile trend of moving to the Far East and have now been killed off by our own side in a couple of years. We all lose.
