Mike TompkinsGUEST
Other cashback sites did, you know, and had other platforms that they could use.

So you're saying if you tax warehouse space here, it potentially gives overseas sellers an advantage?

Mike TompkinsGUEST
If you're talking about, without naming names, sellers that sell cheap things into the UK, they can bypass all sorts of things like import duties because if the packages are under £135, now there's a lot of pressure on some in the EU.

Mike TompkinsGUEST
They're already challenging that in the next, I think it's almost now, I think, or very soon.

Mike TompkinsGUEST
Our government has said they're going to, implement something in the second half of 2028 you know two two years after the eu well you know if they want to drive more um income uh into the government they're going to need to do things a bit faster to stop to stop that you know sort of overseas dumping of cheap goods but i don't know for me it's the government have got to look at um as george said earlier they've got to look at um reducing costs.

Mike TompkinsGUEST
And it does seem that we have a welfare system that's out of control and rather than sort of killing ambition and aspiration for people that want to work hard.
