When Blair abolished duty free, EU regulations.
Right, so duty free remains abolished.
EU regulations will reinstate the booze cruise? How exactly?

Within the EU there is no duty payable at port of entry between member states, therefore the concept of duty free doesn't exist. It's just that you pay the duty that is applicable in the country that you purchase. Thus if the duty of 200 B&H is far less in France, you are perfectly entitled to go to France and buy tens of thousands of the coffin nails, provided you can prove they are for your personal use. Same with booze etc.
Blair didn't abolish duty free - being a member of the EU did that.
Coming out of the EU will mean a return to the good old/bad old days of red lane/green lane at ports of entry and being waterboarded as to why you've got over the allowance of baccy, and no, that fortified wine does not class as table wine.
