The Loose Association of Wargamers

All over the world people will be reacting in horror at this news, striking unlikely, awkward poses.

They'll be bayonetting the ground in Scotland.

US troops posing as British Paras will be shooting at the sky.

When asked about the Airfix boycott, President Macron hunched over, grabbed his genitals and exhaled forcefully with a red face. 'Ou et lartillerie?" cried an aide.

They're not the only ones. That's about the third or fourth UK company I've seen cancelling EU shipments till they know what the rules are.

It won't just affect EU sales, as almost all British trade deals are under the umbrella of EU Trade Agreements, which cease as of 15 days from now, with no replacement deals, unless you're in the Faroe Islands .... Any other comment falls under politics, so I'll avoid them.

We're awaiting clear guidance on data privacy adequacy. No one can definitively say whether personal data stored in the EEA on AWS or Azure or Google or any other platform/system, can be transferred to the UK. Right now, there's up to a two year wait to transfer(for example)Azure data to being hosted in the UK. Where it will cost more.

I mean, not as though we had 4 years to sort this stuff out.

40+ years I thought...
