  1. He’s correct — we have no red tape, becuase it’s being made in the EU and the producer has decided that it’s not worth sending to the UK anymore because of taxes, delivery costs and bureucratic issues.

  2. It changed the red tape, often resulting in more in its place. Besides, some red tape exists for a reason, it keeps people safe and free from exploitation. The reason the government wanted to get rid of it was not to help us or improve the country, it was so they could either use the lack of legislation to exploit others or so they could impose their own on us.

  3. Ferrari also needed to have buried the repeated lie about Brexit enabling the vaccine rollout. It started under EU rules and is ending mid league amongst the EU.

    The lie of the vaccine Brexit benefit goes with blue passports, crowns on pint glasses and a ban on pavement parking.

  4. It’s true, and the chocolate ration also increased to 20 grams this week. I love Big Brother and his representative from the Ministry of Truth.

  5. Yeah…

    It got rid of the safety and standards tape and replaced it with tories having parties every weekend streamer type tape.

  6. Worth noting the government are planning a huge increase in red tape for literally any public facing technology business with the Online Safety Bill.

  7. The big misunderstanding being, that “red tape” what they renamed regulation to give it a negative connotation, was actually a good thing. It keeps us safe as employees and consumers.

    Another name for “red tape” is “consumer protections” but “we need to get rid of consumer protections” doesn’t have the same ring to it, eh.

  8. I’ve exported stuff for quite a few years, and we have gone from 2 minutes to at least an hour if we have loads of other things we didn’t have to do before done.

    So from where I stand, cutting now means, in government speak, increasing red tape.

    I just wished the Sale of Goods Act 1979 applied to politicians.

  9. Ahh, the old leveraging a failure by the EU irrelevent to actual EU policy as a “benefit”

    French man scrapes his knee: “SEEE, A BENEFIT, we didn’t do that!”
