Trade Wind

Patriotic Britons, and anyone else who knows what is good for them, will rejoice that Her Majesty's Government has finally found a worthy use for all that money we will save through making a competitor of the evil Nazi-Soviet Euro-wog bloc. Thanks to our new independence from Brusso-Strasbourgian bureaucracy, the Government will seize the opportunity to impose British bureaucracy instead, besides embodying the People's Will in several scenic lorry parks to contain the cornucopian overflow which will inevitably result when foreign traffic collides with British efficiency. So simplified are the procedures that a two-hundred-page document is required to explain them; and there still remains some doubt over whether the arrangements are too stupid even for the Minister for Marmite to Japan, rather than being just stupid enough. There will also be ten new border and customs sites, or perhaps a dozen depending on whether liberty compels the use of decimal or Imperial measurements.
