Never in the UK’s history will so much economic damage be done to so many by so few. British goods will become more expensive, leading to loss of markets, which in turn will lead to massive job losses in the UK. The UK will become the very first country in the world to have enforced economic sanctions on itself by its careless ‘Britannia rules the waves’ policy. All UK citizens need to brace themselves for the biggest crash landing in the UK’s economic history. This unilateral decision gives a guarantee to Northern Irish businesses of unfettered access to trade from Northern Ireland to Britain even though the British government signed up to the Northern Ireland protocol.
