Re: Pity the small traders

However, hundreds of thousands of small businesses in the UK only have international trade with countries in the EU. This is because these markets are close, have the same regulations as the UK, and there is no customs/export/import hassle.

So the Single Market was doing exactly what M.Thatcher envisaged for it, namely providing a significantly larger home market for UK businesses.

Just shows that the current Conservative party doesn't have a clue about the UK economy and business.
