kirku 1,332 Posted June 15, 2021 43 minutes ago, horsefly said: So what will the "fantastic" trade deal with Australia bring? well hard to tell since the government is strangely reticent to reveal most of the details for now. However, a couple of things have leaked out, so here's two of the predicted impacts of this "wonderous" deal: "The deal will be of limited importance to the UK economy – it is forecast to increase GDP by only 0.02% over 15 years" "No 10 said the reductions in tariffs would save UK households up to £34m a year, about £1.20 per household." https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/uk-australia-trade-deal-to-include-15-year-cap-on-tariff-free-imports/ar-AAL3MMP?ocid=msedgntp I've already phoned my accountant and he suggests I invest my £1.20 in a couple of sherbet fountains (I've consequently placed an order with the local sweet shop so that I can celebrate each of the summer and winter solstices with a fizz). What a brave new post-brexit world we live in! £1.20 a year.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well in some ways the fact that workers get paid a decent wage for what is pretty hard work is good thing though as you say the resultant higher prices in the shops will doubtless be unpopular. But surely the other salient point is that they are still having problems recruiting UK workers whereas the Brexiteers kept telling us that that Eastern Europeans were taking jobs that UK people wanted but couldn't get - just another of the many lies that the stupid Brexiteers like Swindo voted for but which has now been clearly exposed as the lie it always was.

The farmers are now saying that they regret voting to leave the EU. The inevitible consequence of having to pay more to get people to pick the crops is higher prices in the shops. Farmers aren't really having a good day are they? What with this and now the news that Truss & Johnson have sold them down the river to save the average British household a massive £1.20 per year. Or to be more accurate Truss & Johnson have sold the farmers down the river because they were so desperate to demonstrate that they could get a trade deal that isn#t one we already had with the EU that they were quite happy to scr*w the farmers to get it. Since they were perfectly happy to scr*w the fishermen to get the EU deal this shouldn't really be a surprise - its been pretty obvious for a long while that Tory & Brexit voting supporters are being completely taken for granted because Johnson thinks they are either to thick to realise what he is doing or are in denial that they could have got it so wrong - either way they will no doubt continue to vote for our lying, shambolic government and thinking that things could be worse...............which actually they are right about - things are going to keep getting worse 🤣🤣 And while we're at it, yet another Brexiteer myth exploded https://www.theguardian.com/business/2021/jun/07/uk-second-to-france-again-for-attracting-foreign-investment-in-europe-brexit-covid-19 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

horsefly 4,298 Posted June 16, 2021 The Australian government has been far more forthcoming with some of the details of the deal. I don't suppose for one minute this has anything to do with the prospect that Australia benefits much more from the deal than the UK. Anyway, it looks like it's a big brexit bye-bye to the beef farmers of the UK. Boris thanks you very much for the gigantic posters you erected in your fields telling us to "Vote Leave", he's just a little surprised you didn't realise that "Vote Leave" included you leaving your farms. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/money/other/why-the-uk-australia-trade-deal-could-have-startling-wider-implications/ar-AAL4uPS?ocid=msedgntp According to numbers released by the Australian government (as I say, the UK has provided very little thus far), the quotas on Australian beef imports into the UK will go up from just under 5,000 tonnes at present to a whopping 35,000 tonnes immediately after the deal is signed, before increasing in the following years and then melting away entirely. The increase for sheep meat is also large, if not sevenfold, up from just over 15,000 tonnes to 25,000 tonnes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The best aspect of it, according to our government, is that it will make it easier for young people to move to Australia. I don't think they've detected the own goal in encouraging young people to move to work in Australia and contribute to their economy and not the UK's. Yep! Brexit Britain is so enticing we've had to make it easier for our young workers to fu*ck off to Australia. Well done! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
