The last part, about the lack of controls on the products coming into the UK is a big bug-bear, here in Germany. The Zoll (Customs) here check a lot of products coming in from outside the EU, especially those coming in from China. But the manufacturers have found a new wheeze, if they ship direct to the UK, to a re-packing address, the goods don't usually get checked and they will not get slapped with import duty.
Once in the EU, the goods are free to move between boarders.
I guess they will have to find another transfer point, once Brexit is through.

Very interesting. One to bring up at my next branch meeting, especially as we've sent support to the strike fund for the air stewards.

There's another McCluskey bit, remind me if I forget (in work).

Weird, I'm using Chrome here and it didn't show up. Second link did work though. Having been a member of Unite throughout Len's tenure as GS I'm thoroughly unimpressed. I didn't vote for him last time and I won't be voting for him this time either. In my personal opinion there's a spectacular lack of transparency and democracy in Unite and Len hasn't improved the situation one jot while he's been in charge, it's gotten worse.
