Does this count as politics, and is banned, or can comments be made? Brexit is a disaster for many, including those of us involved with old machinery. 2CV parts from Belgium are difficult to import and suddenly much more expensive. Pals have given up finding treasures on leboncoin. Forum members in the music business can confirm that doing a few gigs just across the Channel in France or Germany has become less easy than a full American tour might have been four years ago. Racing in France or Germany is difficult, a car on a trailer might attract little attention, or if les douaniers are having a bad day, or have been told to take revenge for the activities of Lord Frostie, crews might have to unload and account for tools, spare engines etc, and demonstrate that these items are not for trade. What's a missed ferry or two. For those flying private jets to their pal's villas or opening offices in Dublin, all this might not matter. For many of us it matters a lot.
