The UK TV & Film industry will be damaged by a no-deal or bad-deal Brexit. Freedom of movement of goods, people and services are key to our success.

Ministers should swiftly negotiate Britain rejoining Creative Europe and rebuilding ties with UK theatre's biggest and closest market, says @lyngardner – post-Brexit, UK arts have been made all the poorer by restricted access https://t.co/vhj1I3KU5O

Yep

Quarter of music industry workers have had no work in EU since Brexit https://t.co/O6gH6SNesv

Of course

Oh, and the Tories are now trying to claim positive credit for retaining CE marking, the same system they put at risk after Brexit.

Kevin Hollinrake: "The Government is tackling red tape, cutting burdens for business, and creating certainty for firms" 🤦‍♂️

Chris Grey has an excellent, exceptionally thorough write-up of the consequence of the (effective) killing off of the UKCA mark in favour of keeping the CE mark.

He picks out a number of secondary effects of the decision, including the below...

Another ‘Brexit benefit’ bites the dust. No one needed a UK only regulation.

UK to retain CE mark and indefinitely delay plans for UKCA.

This is Damon Albarn who is apparently the lead singer of a pop group called Blob.
He is corrupting youngsters by sprouting anti Brexit nonsense.
We have had huge post Brexit musical successes:
Adele
Stormy
Barry Styles
And we won Eurovision last year
😡🇬🇧

Good news for UK based post and VFX houses. This one’s going to need a lot of work to look realistic. Cancel all leave.

[Edwin Hayward @edwinhayward]

According to the Express, ignoranti such as Jacob Rees-Mogg and John Redwood are collaborating on a documentary to explain the benefits of Brexit.

The organisations behind the film (CIBUK and Facts4EU) are touting for cash to produce it, because gaslighting doesn't come cheap.

"Top opera designer says Brexit has done 'terrible damage' to his art form"

Great singers are apparently having to turn down roles abroad because they fall foul of post-Brexit rules.

UK based bands have faced all sorts of issues with European tour dates - Now artists from the EU are being hit with complex and unfathomable rules that are seeing them turned back - cancelling shows and incurring costs

[Richard Corbett @RichardGCorbett]

Another consequence of Brexit: British TV & films will no longer count towards the "EU content" obligation on Netflix, etc, who will likely drop some of them. Big hit that will disincentivize investment in & collaboration with the UK production scene

CE approval is another important area that yet again highlights the absurdity of diverging from EU standards. This is nowhere near over.

[Mike Galsworthy @mikegalsworthy]

“British inventions are being brought to market overseas because new Brexit safety certification rules mean they can’t be sold in the UK.

Trade bodies and entrepreneurs have blamed the government’s decision to stop accepting the European Union’s CE mark” https://t.co/IHyT7GFNrS

Tl:dr Carnets bad.

Post-Brexit visa rules a ‘disaster’ for arts, says Edinburgh festival director https://t.co/Jy91Jt7wOP

Top trolling by the EU!
🤣
Just as UK mobile providers start reintroducing roaming charges for Brits travelling to the EU, the EU itself has extended its own FREE-roaming directives for at least another decade!

[TVforEU @tvforeu]

The Government 'consultation' on implementing Imperial measures is ridiculous and the survey biased throughout. The forward alone is shameful tub-thumping propaganda. We are a laughing stock.

Ooo, this is interesting...

[Adam Bienkov @AdamBienkov]

Boris Johnson asked about Brexit making the UK an increasingly closed economy, appears to blame UK businesses for not exporting enough and suggests the problem would be solved with more "will, energy and ambition."
