A no-deal Brexit could unleash a flood of fake goods in the UK, retail expert says

“A no-deal Brexit and explosion of grey market websites via unauthorized dealer networks could continue to give us access to products we want at cheaper prices. With a deep enough search, all of us can find grey market websites catering for products such as shoes, watches, clothes, cameras, furniture, TVs, and more,” she added.

So Germany is paying Zero interest and is actually being paid to borrow money, while the U.S., a far stronger and more important credit, is paying interest and just stopped (I hope!) Quantitative Tightening. Strongest Dollar in History, very tough on exports. No Inflation!.....— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 21, 2019

The only hold-up for the deal is around the Irish border issue.

ireland and the eu don’t want a hard border - they want the Good Friday agreement to be upheld where the UK and RoI signed a deal to keep the borders open.

The UK has a problem with that - if the borders are open then people and goods flow through. if they put a border in the Irish sea (the best deal for everyone) then the DUP who support the Tory government from outside (thanks to May’s 2017 General election blunder) will withdraw support. Catch 22 situation

I’m not sure what you want Merkel and Macron to offer — what do you want them to offer the UK?

On this matter, Macron is right - it’s just about 2 months before the bye-bye date. The only bone of contention is the Irish border and the Republic of Ireland doesn’t want to have a hard border and will veto any deal that does that or that doesn’t give specific measures on how the border will be open.

It is best for the UK to go for a no-deal, hard Brexit

MPs have only 22 sitting days in parliament until 31 October, according to the Institute for Government, unless they decide to cut short the party conference recess or add extra sessions. And Boris Johnson has a majority of one.

IMO, it's *always* been best for the UK to go for a hard Brexit. Our European offices are based in the UK and that's what we've been planning for. So much so that the data center we built out in Luxembourg is getting minimalized and our systems are staying in the U.K.

Assuming there is a flood of grey market goods into the U.K. post hard Brexit, who gets hurt the most: consumers or the product manufacturers? It's not going to be the consumers for sure.

If the rest of the EU were smart (and I'm not implying they are ....) they'd pay close attention to what's about to happen in UK and start plotting their own hard exits from the EU.

Maybe if you’re some career government leech that’s not enough time.

I’m sure that in the near future, it will be claimed that Brexit will cause the sea level to rise.

If the majority of your business is in the UK, it doesn’t make sense to keep data in the EU - post Brexit, there is a chance the UK would drop GDPR rules.

well, the consumers will pay more than they do now for genuine goods. They’ll also get more fakes and knock-offs that could be downright dangerous.
