The world did not say nope. No doubt some retailers will decide it’s not worth the bother. A lot of them will like money, won’t mind setting up a VAT account to trade in the UK. Most companies in the UK need to sign up for a VAT number and it doesn’t seem to stop them from being in business.
Can you explain how anything I have said suggests folks voting based on immigration means their vote means less?
It is their democratic right to vote with their own convictions, based on their own beliefs. However, what rankles and will continue to do so, not matter how much of straw man you want to build against me on this issue, is that immigration was never OUT of our control. We had every right to determine the conditions and entitlement to services for those working here under EU freedom of movement. Yet those advocating Brexit never shared this snippet of important info. The Leave campaign tried, and failed against a right wing dominated media…
I am sure you accept that there are plenty for whom immigration issues are driven by racism, bigotry etc… but many more who had concerns about jobs, services , housing etc, yet we had it with in our own control to manage these had our Government decided to… but I suspect for some it was a strategy…
This is not bleating or whining (unless you have a short attention span) , its simply sadness and disappointment and maybe some anger that we have a democracy that appears to reward such ignorance, with those who deliver it to voters lacking any respect for their 'supporters in doing so. We also sadly now live in a society seems to want to shout down those who disagree with the ‘majority’, get them to shut the fuck up and get on with it… and that is not in any definition of democracy that I have seen

It’s only been five days, of course at the moment it will be some retailers deciding not to bother, how about this time next year? Or in five years time.Some problems already with lorries being turned away from the Holyhead service to Dublin after falling foul of the new customs arrangements. The president of the Irish Road Haulage Association has warned of "Mayhem coming to Dublin port. Project fear no doubt!
What are the benefits, in practical terms to lorry drivers, business owners and their customers in these new regulations? How is the new system beneficial to everyday people? Surely the whole point of Brexit is that things will be better when we leave the EU, single market, CU etc, otherwise the past four years of upheaval have been pointless. So lets have your top five of definite benefits. I’m all ears.
It’s practical for the revenue.
Dublin is actually a good example. The US have got their own immigration department so every one going to the US is cleared before they arrive.
The average consumer won’t have to worry about getting jipped by the Revenue for import tax, so the total cost of purchase will be a lot easier to grasp.
It’ll save money here, and if there is any rigidity to the VAT sign up process, will protect consumers here from shady international traders.
On demand I was referring, its geo blocked.
Well your sadness over this is fucking eternal.
Why haven’t the EU gone after Ireland and their tax haven?
Exactly, so get a VPN that sets your IP to a country that isn’t geoblocked and Bob’s your nerd…
For example my IPTV provider gets blocked during PL matches due to legislation, if I connect to my VPN and use a Dutch node it’s not blocked… obviously I get a drop from my 200mb connection but only down to ~170mb

Its very very difficult if you’re abroad and want to get iplayer services via a vpn, geo blocking (Netflix lead this by some way) is where the beeb have spent an awful lot of money, clearing cookies may help but for how long?
IPTV isn’t to what I refer, itpv if blocked for certain things and not others I’d be concerned, in fact I would stop using it as they can see (your provider) what you’re watching, if using iptv your itpv source should be doing the blocking and not you, using kodi is why you use a vpn etc etc.
I’ll respond in the morning, too much BSG and whiskey, but this is where a decent VPN provider comes into effect…

Imagine going on holiday and not being able to acces your tv
The horror
I bet no one has ever had to face such a calamity in the whole of human history

With express vpn you can set the country to wherever you want so if I am in usa I can use a usa ip address. If I want to watch bbc iplayer, I set it to a uk ip address. Geo blocking is therefore redundant.

Not now it isn’t, also I was referring to on demand, iplayer and Netflix are very flaky and difficult to get on vpn’s now, I have used nord, express, pure vpn and others, I bet it won’t work now.
Yes it does works fine on VPN in Labuan
Netflix that is
Right ok, it’ll be flaky and not assured, I tried to get US netflix through pure last night and was geo blocked, iplayer on demand isn’t even worth bothering with, iplayer yes on some, my friends live in Spain and get aggro and change vpn’s all the time to circumvent it and its get getting very difficult.
Actually, they will be. Tax harmonisation is coming in across the continent apparently.
