Following changes to the trading conditions of companies operating in the UK, some companies have pledged to withdraw from Britain to avoid additional customs checks. Amid this bitter Brexit plot to put pressure on the UK, readers of Express.co.uk have now said they will boycott all EU products in response. Comment on Express.co.uk One person said: ‘What they are really saying is that UK customers are buying more local products and doing as I am doing by boycotting European products where I can.
A second said: “Here we are again, the same threats coming full circle.
“If they don’t want to sell us, that’s okay, we have 70 other countries around the world that will.
“If the EU relaunches Project Fear, maybe it is time to start going elsewhere now.”
A third said: “More than happy to buy non-European products now than European products”.
A fourth person said: “Nature abhors a vacuum, if European companies stop exporting to the UK a UK company will come and fulfill this requirement.”
In an attempt to appease trade concerns, the UK has granted an amnesty on some food items entering the country from the continent.
For this reason, companies have avoided multiple checks on goods, although this ends in the fall when they are enforced.
Before this period was over, some industry insiders claimed that European exporters had said they would not send products to the UK.

Scottish fishermen also saw a drop in exports to the EU at the end of the year, but in both scenarios no amnesty was applied.
Indeed, as we head into summer, both have seen levels return to close to what was normally expected, but not to what they were before Brexit.
It is hoped that this will also be the case for food products entering England, although the government has also set up working groups to help address the issues.
This warning from the EU comes as Brussels has finally approved the trade and cooperation agreement.
Although they were signed in December, MPs had previously called for two extensions to the ratification process.
The agreement was adopted Tuesday by 660 votes in favor, 5 against and 32 abstentions.
Although MEPs approved the deal, those in the European Parliament said Brexit was a mistake on both sides.
