"I hope that we can have more control over our waters for fishing, more control over our farming, more control over business without all the extreme paperwork and more control over our borders," Bunny says.Most of this is the usual glib 'take back control' stuff from the referendum and which is never, despite having had nearly four years ago to explain what it means, is never specified in any detailBut the real joke is about the "extreme paperwork" we're supposedly labouring under: compare this claim with the actuality, which is that Johnson is preparing to impose full customs and border checks on all European goods entering the UK after Brexit: "We are planning full checks on all EU imports - export declarations, security declarations, animal health checks and all supermarket goods to pass through Border Inspections Posts,” according to a senior Whitehall source with knowledge of the plans. “This will double the practical challenge at the border in January 2021.” ( https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2020/01/31/boris-johnson-ramps-pressure-eu-plans-impose-full-customs-border/).I can't see the car industry welcoming this, as it will destroy the 'just in time' process by which parts of vehicles cross and recross the channel. Talk about shooting ourselves in the foot!
