The Port of Dover would disagree.
Quote:
A month on since the end of the Brexit transition period, the Port of Dover is pleased to already be welcoming over 90% of the freight traffic volumes typical of this time of year following the significant stockpiling experienced before Christmas.

Well, according to the report, the lorries from the EU normally return with British goods on their return trips. However, 65-75% of the lorries are returning with nothing! So ports will see the same numbers of lorries but fewer will be carrying goods in both directions.

Dover is the main conduit for EU exports/imports.

Re: Britain outside the EU
A bit more than temporary disruption. This is not the levelling up the north of England was promised. The owner tells it straight. "“All we have had is bullshit from the government, promises that haven’t been kept."

Yorkshire lobster exporter says Brexit costs have forced it to close
Government has not been straight with fishing industry, says Sam Baron of Baron Shellfish in Bridlington
A lobster exporter who is winding up his 60-year-old family business has blamed the government for failing to be honest about Brexit red tape and hidden costs.
Sam Baron, who worked alongside his father to set up Baron Shellfish in Bridlington, east Yorkshire, said the government had failed to be straight with the fishing industry.
Industry experts said that Baron Shellfish, the first lobster-tank business in Europe’s largest shellfish port, appears to be the first big exporter to have announced its closure.
Speaking from Bridlington on Monday, where he is in the process of dismantling hundreds of lobster crates, Baron said: “All we have had is bullshit from the government, promises that haven’t been kept. I am winding up the business while I still have enough to pay redundancy to my staff.

They are even further up themselves than calling their foreign minister the "High Representative".

You can't ask for max price when there is no market for your fish, you need to find new markets and price accordingly.
Plus we are in lockdown so restaurants are shut.

Exactly. That's why I was keen to see and extension to the withdrawal agreement for another year so it didn't happen during the pandemic.

An interesting comparison. Does the office of High Representative of the EU in London directly embody nearly a thousand years of developing political culture and accountability, in much the same way as these other offices do?

Re: Britain outside the EU
Just got my GHIC (which was requested before Chrimbo).
They could at least have matched the blue to the new passport!
