And set up a UK entity for the landing of ferry freight in London. Then it goes by land to Cardiff and back on water to Dublin.

My hope is the EU uses some of the "divorce settlement" money to expand the Dublin Airport . I would still land the majority of my air freight in the Netherlands if it is going to an EU destination, but Republic of Ireland and UK will be a bit more elegant.


And - I'm terribly worried about how the people of Great Britain will feed themselves. The no deal folks are being stubborn at the risk of harming the health of their own.

If the food shortages become critical - how long until Scotland has the next Independence vote?

... with open arms, since they voted overwhelmingly to remain. I'm hoping that independence vote comes along quickly.

I was fortunate enough to emigrate to America 15 years ago, and I fear greatly for my friends still living in Britain. Food supplies, medicines, etc, are just a few things their authoritarian overlords care little about.
