#5369, They do tax turnover. It’s called VAT.

On corporate sales and purchases of certain items but not necessarily turnover. And ultimately, of course, paid by the end user.

We have still to see if those who voted leave actually get what they thought they were voting for

Try asking them. Responses will range from the nebulous to the ultra defensive.

I think it will take maybe 18 months to settle down, especially given the current circumstances
Then it will be time to make a more accurate judgement on what benefits the UK has gained and/or what damage has been caused

Dominic Raab was suggesting 10 years would be the appropriate wait!

I don´t remember Raab telling us that before the referendum!
He´s not the sharpest, though

The shift of focus onto "sovereignty" was no accident. It was shifting the focus away from any tangible benefits for the person in the street. None of us will see any benefits from Brexit, because there are none, the question is whether or not it damages your life. The government appears to be hoping that most don't notice either way.

They are relying on people being in denial. How long that will last is anyone's guess.

I'm sure many will notice
I.m also sure many will feel let down that this Brexit was not what they voted for

Surely a huge loss to Dover's economy?

The Irish are not stupid. Just look at the way they continue with live animal exports which HMG is stupidly talking about banning.

Local economy issues aside, reduced lorry traffic and associated air pollution is a good thing.

It'll be groupage traffic that's the pain to cover with Transit in either direction, but the longer sea routes avoiding the UK landbridge have their own driver planning issues.

Leaving aside whether or not you ideologically support Brexit, which of course has relevance, I don't think any objective assessment could conclude anything other than it is bad news for Dover, financially.
Ironically enough, the one bit of financial good news could be the inland clearance facilities (lorry parks) as they will bring about much needed employment opportunities. However, people are up in arms about them!
