Christ; Brexiteers really are xenophobic morons.

‘at least we won’t have a German Luger pointing to our heads’
Flip, when Fintan O'Toole wrote his column that Brexit is about the UKs past and part of that is how it saw itself in WW2 (Germany bad, UK good) he wasn't wrong.
I believe German build quality is good, better than trying to shoot yourself with something that only half shoots you :p
I guess your colleague is now well pissed off?

I work for a multi national insurer in the UK, about 35% of our UK revenue is from products sold into the EU. All these products are now going to being to be written by our arm in ROI. They continue being serviced, for the most part in the UK for now. The company overall aren't going to loss out but COVID19 aside the uk will be 35% less profitable and the ROI it'll be bonuses all round.

Of which we didn’t had a German Luger pointing to our heads in the first fucking place.

I work for a large UK industrial manufacturing company and we have just had an email from our MD stating all of the measures they have taken to prepare for Jan 1st. A huge list of items including compliance, incoming parts supply, outgoing finished product supply, ensuring employees comply with working regulations etc etc.
It then goes on to state that UK – EU trade will incur tariffs some of which can be offset by some imports, but overall there will be a significant increase in tariffs which the company will absorb for the first part of 2021 before deciding what to do. That doesn’t fill me with hope. Must be loads of companies in the same position.
When I mentioned this to a Brexit voting colleague he said ‘at least we won’t have a German Luger pointing to our heads’. I said no, we have just taken it and shot ourselves in the head.
