Because Boris Johnson rushed through brexit and told everyone deals were done!!, he was praised or getting "IT Done" in fact there is so many outstanding issues, trade deals gone sour border controls, immigration control, northern Ireland, trade labour agreements, driving licences, etc etc,...

... the only thing he agreed was to pay billions for 10 years in a divorce settlement. It is the general public and countries that used to be uk allies that are suffering from a deal gone bad. Take a look at the spanish in the uk, no licence exchange needed or test. The british government had 5 years to sort it all out, they did nothing and hid the true facts from the british people. Didn't help with the british government opposition being led by a communist and zealot with a fruit cake brother. Do you want me to continue? Could write pages on the subject? Just look at the rate if inflation and numbers of european workers umemployed now due to british arrogance and ignorance. There is good and bad in everything, but brexit was going to happen, but got lost in translation as the british people did not vote for this, it was to stop the unprecedented immigration that was a problem and now is even worse. We cannot afford to support our nurses, emergency services, police etc who are expected to live below the poverty line whilst illegal immigrants live a reasonable life with money in their pockets at the expense of the british tax payer and contributors. Comes to something when ukrainians are given preferential mortgages and fast track visas when ordinary british home owners are losing their homes everyday. Blah blah blah
Douglas,
bearing in mind we are talking about driving licence exchange in Spain - the key part of your your rant for me is the sentence "Take a look at the Spanish in the uk, no licence exchange needed or test" - why could the Spanish government not just reciprocate? It's not just the Spanish who have that right i the UK, it is every EU country.
The UK have agreed driving licence exchange with every other EU country, why is Spain taking so long. I don't think it's the UK government dragging their heels but Spanish truculence, most linked to the situation in Gibraltar, in my opinion.
Aitch.
