Killing, punishing & destroying small businesses, sole traders & self-employed creatives who rely on trading to/fromUK to #NIreland The risk of getting fined thousands of £. Have had 4 indie orders cancelled this morn (gifts, stationery) through no choice 😡🇪🇺
- Oh good, a previously regular customer of @gailmyerscough.bsky.social who lives in Northern Ireland can’t order from Gail anymore. The small business person is screwed. Thanks for that Brexit.
