SwindonCanary 455 Posted November 26, 2020 (edited) Eighty five per cent of British consumers say they are open to choosing food and drink from Ireland, ahead of a range of other key markets outside of Britain.

Surfer 1,547 Posted November 27, 2020 Would that be from Northern Ireland or the Irish Republic Swindon. Both of which we import a significant amount of food from already ...so how brave to be “open” to trying their wares ... like butter, sausages, Guiness. How wonderful to be so moronically ignorant of our existing food supply. And how, pray, will importing food “from Ireland” be any easier than from other countries after Jan 01 - you do understand Ireland and Holland are both overseas, and both in the same EU? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You utter pr*ick! Ireland is NOT a part of Britain or the UK. And even you can't be so thick as to think that NORTHERN Ireland could replace the 30% of our national food supply that we import from Europe. Please tell us that you're not that f*ing stupid.

SwindonCanary 455 Posted November 27, 2020 key political sticking points for the talks are fisheries and competition policy. Fisheries the EU Are asking for something they don't own, we do ! Competition policy this is about the Government helping companies, we are an independent nation, we should be able to do as we like. Plus France put millions of pounds into their car companies breaking EU laws, nothing happened ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Displaying your usual ignorance. ALL trade deals involve negotiations on what restrictions will apply to the involved parties. NO country can simply do whatever they like. Even if we go to WTO rules we will be obliged to abide by a number of restrictions on trade. This really is primary school level knowledge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

horsefly 4,287 Posted November 27, 2020 More evidence of the impending disaster brexit will visit upon UK farmers: Report casts doubt on UK pledge to prevent low-quality food imports (msn.com) "Ministers’ pledges to preserve the UK’s food and farming standards after Brexit will not prevent the import of lower-standard products and could spell potential disaster for Britain’s farmers, a report has found." How wonderful to see Norfolk MPs like Richard Bacon supporting an Agriculture Bill that shafts Norfolk farmers and the rural community. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's even thicker than that, he probably regards Irish territorial waters as free to be exploited by English trawlers after Brexit. As for using the Irish channel as a dumping ground for excess nuclear spillages and ammunition, that ought to be a bad habit that needs stopping.
