Ian did not say Brexit was a failure. The only person who used that word was you. Perhaps you invoked the term subconsciously?

The import bureaucracy in question concerns that applied by most countries to imports outside their own trading bloc. Since the UK has left the EU, the UK falls into this category. So the way round this, or to use your phrase "to do something about this" is for the UK and EU to get closer eg mutual recognition of veterinary standards for the UK to join the Single Market. Are you on board with this?
