This shake up was a long time coming. I don't think even Gove, Johnson or Farage thought it would happen going by their comments last night as counting began. The Labour Party leadership has certainly has had a rocket up them with Margaret Hodge MP and others now calling for Corbyn to go.
Not only have the electorate got rid of the EU but they have dumped Cameron and Corbyn too. Who would have thought it?
Well not quite. We are left with the little problem of observing their rules and standards if we wish to trade with them CE marking and all that. Then of course not being a member of the EU any manufacturing company trading with them will need to have a quality control system approved by a Brussels NOBO or it's no deal and we will not enough clout to make them relax the requirements. Not when it can sourced from within the EU.
Try bunging a Category IV pressure vessel made from Indian or Chinese steel plate into the European Union, now that
is a barrel of laughs I can tell you.
Ten years time we will probably still be working to "Pressure Equipment Regulations 1999, which brings the Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC into UK law" because having two standards to work to will be pointless and sorting it out will not be top of anyone's priority list. And that's but one. FK how many similar directives we will live with for similar reasons. Imagine how many laws enacting EU directives that will have to be repealed and how many new laws and standards will need to be written. Nah let's save ourselves the hassle and live the present [EU] ones....that will happen for sure.
I won't mention foreign non EU multinationals with head offices in UK because they think the UK is Europe. Well it sure as hell isn't now...................... &%+((£
Interesting times ahead and lots of "fmg I didn't think that would happen" from both sides I bet..
