And fewer British lorries on European Roads - I bet the British haulage industry is really looking forward to that! And we could have banned live exports if we'd wanted to, just like we could have sent home EU migrants who hadn't got a job after 3 months - our wonderful governments (of both colours) just choose not to.
Maybe the document doesn't propose solutions because there really aren't any?
Never mind about glass half full. No-one has even managed to suggest a single droplet of any sort to put into the glass. It's not half-empty, it's bone dry.
Even Rees-Mogg has estimated that it will be 50 years before we see any net advance on where we are now - and by then the EU will be so far ahead they'll be almost out of sight.
Indeed - after all, just like Y2K it is a very simple problem, with a solution well understood by everyone, we've been working solidly at it for years, with thousands of specialists spending all their time on it.
Oh, wait - it's a very complex problem, hardly anyone even understands basics of whatever solutions there may be, almost no-one has been working on it until very recently, and there are very few specialists around to work on those solutions anyway.
Forget the number who HMRC say are "digitally excluded" - that's just the number who have no internet connection at all
What we really need to consider is the number of businesses (mostly sole-traders, but not exclusively so), who at present keep all their records either on paper (like your mother) or at most in Microsoft's Excel, Works or Money. As far as I'm aware, Microsoft haven't yet added a [send my return to HMRC] button to any of their excellent products.
Perhaps HMRC could make this a requirement only for larger businesses (>£100k) ?
