I doubt this will be more than a temporary thing for any EU company that does signiifcant UK business as they won't want to lose business. And for smaller businesses, I'm sure we will see reshippers (legit or otherwise) filling in the gap

Its not just company's out of the uk that have stopped selling to the uk

--- Quote ---At Brooks England, we continue to produce each leather saddle in our West Midlands factory in more or less the same manner as we have for over 150 years. However, upon their completion, since some time these saddles are shipped first to our logistics centre in Italy and from there to Cyclists around the world.

Due to this, the ongoing changes in the Brexit situation have made it necessary to temporarily suspend all new orders to the UK at this time.

That's nuts. So a company that trades on it's very Englishness (although looks like it's owned by an Italian firm now) and manufactures in the England, can't sell it's products in England (albeit temporaily).

I struggle to see why many of these companies (that undoubtedly trade with non-EU customers) haven't got a grip on this.

If you are going to call Breitbart batshit crazy, what words have you left in reserve for CNN?

I never look at CNN so I can't classify it. I have no opinion.

You should look around more. Things change. Breitbart (and Fox and a few others) used to be off in the weeds when much of the media in the US was only moderately deranged. However, in the last 4 years, with much of the US media screaming "ORANGE MAN BAD" all day and not reporting much actual news, people like Fox and Breitbart have developed their niche as a more balanced source of news.

Saying an article should be disregarded because its on a particular platform is just an ad hominem attack in an age when no source can be trusted even a little bit.
