This is all so sad. Our country just doesn't seem to value its home grown skilled and heritage industries anymore. :( I've recently started moving away from selling via ecommerce sites and I've set up my own online shop. But trying to negotiate overseas customers is a nightmare. Small businesses can't get IOSS numbers to ship to Europe - the cost and the bureaucracy, and the lack of information is a joke. And as for further afield. Well who knows if that will ever be sorted?!?!?!? I can't believe that after all the time they've had to sort this out, we still don't have a mechanism that allows small UK businesses to ship out of the UK. It's ridiculous and frustrating and makes me mad!!!!!
@@jonathanwetherell3609 EU exports to China were $240 billion in 2022 and to United States $520 billion the same year. Britain has access to EU's internal market through the negotiated UK/EU trade deal but can now also trade freely with its former Commonwealth partners as well as US, China and emerging markets in India, Africa and South America. Export markets are important to a nation's economic well being and it seems that the EU trades with those well beyond their doorstep as do many nations and have done for centuries. The European internal market was in existence well before the EU was seeded by the US in 1948 with the American Committee on United Europe absent the requirement to have EU laws on a nation's statue books.
Think we need figures on exactly where markets are . One complaining has a huge market in asia . But i am only british in a area with old textile mills thats been closed before the eu ever existed 🤔
I don't see what brexit has to do with it. All these industries died years ago here. Car exports up 6% year on year just announced. Perhaps you should try selling stuff people want to pay for.
@Make it British. I am sorry it was not a negotiation but just posturing. I had a grandmother that was Egyptian and a grand-mother that was northern I also had a great-grandmother that was Irish, another one that was Manx and finally a Sudanese great-grandmother. As I happen to be a man I did not do all the knitting and sewing. However, I became fascinated by the history of British manufacturing. The shared history of the United Kingdom with the EU is not really shared. I see the History of the UK that is different from Europe. Yes people came here from Europe. However, events in the UK have not always gone the same way as Europe, but what you say about the Huguenots makes sense. I also think that business should be lead by both men and women. Talent should not just be only female.

It's actually quite facile to discuss EU as being an ideal trading partner purely because of its proximity to the UK given that EU's largest trading partner is China and second is United States both of which Britain now trades with independently. Britain's trading partners prior to EU membership were Commonwealth nations one being Australia. The Australian Dairy Board in Tooley Street London closed on joining the EU as did many British companies large and small whose main export markets were in Commonwealth countries. Rather than sending lace to France for dying why not use one of the Nottingham dyers like Baltex who specialise "Silk & Lace fabrics (including tulle & voiles)" or one of the other lace dyers listed like "Huddersfield Dyeing is a commercial bespoke dye house based in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire a town that has been synonymous with textiles and dyeing for centuries." There are more listed even with the scantest of Google searches. I hope one of these companies makes an outreach to Cluny lace to exclude the expensive step in the production process of sending lace to France for dying! Cluny was clearly successful for centuries prior to EU membership in 1973 - did it have trouble sending its lace to France for dying prior to EU membership or did it use British companies? I hope it used British companies and will restart this. I used to buy Cluny lace from suppliers like Olney Amsden of Thame for my fabric shops in Basingstoke Hampshire and Farnham, Surrey. Unfortunately Olney Amsden of Thame (founded in 1810) ceased trading about 15 years ago - nothing to do with Brexit.

This is incredibly sad. Why people would vote against frictionless trade with our nearest neighbours is beyond me.
Easy, voters who did not understand being fed BS by those who also did not understand. A referendum was a foolish thing to do.
EU's biggest trading partner is China and second is United States - are they on EU member nation states' borders?
@@shelaco1321 If you look at internal trade then no, trading within it's borders is much more significant.

Brexit means Brexit and we will make a success out of it 😂😂😂
How's that going for you?
@@esm7708 Brexit can be a success if we stop playing the ideology and stop acting like children.

The talentless ruling cliche in the Conservative Party, having never done a decent days work in their lives, are out to trash "The Trades".
