    @bernieecclestoned @Mex @unitedkingdom Good point. Brexit probably didn’t help though.

      Brexit presented a binary option, if you want to trade in the EU, you need a subsidiary in the EU.

      This was obvious, and the tiny minority of UK companies that export to the EU, which is fewer then 10%, did exactly that.

      If brexit affected the craft brewing industry, then their association failed to plan. They should have created a co-op and established a warehouse in the EU.

      I export and import globally, it’s just a few forms. It’s been going on for centuries, it’s not that hard.

        @bernieecclestoned Out of interest did you vote in favour of Brexit?

General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
