BigFish 1,975 Posted July 29, 2020 16 hours ago, Rock The Boat said: It's a pity you don't put some thought into providing a list of things that Cummings has ripped up and we could consider them. You could start with the normal checks and balances of a functioning democracy. To tell the truth Cummings hasn't achieved very much yet and if you look at his time at Education with Gove that is not surprising. But if what is reported is to be believed the independence of the judiciary and the neutrality of the Cival Service are both underthreat. So is the Good Friday agreement that brought peace to NI and the devolution settlements in Wales and Scotland. The primacy of the Commons also looks eroded. Cummings has been elected by no one and yet seems to wield vast power. So pretty much everything that makes the UK what it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill 1,788 Posted July 29, 2020 oh dear, poor righties My little Fascist is no long living in the UK, but this has not stopped him from campaigning against those who claim to have suffered persecution in their own country - many who cannot speak the language of the country they have sought refuge in However this move has not played well with fellow bigots. Many who thought they were donating money the 'cause', not the coke habit of a hypocrite who has taken their money and ran ....literally. As the house he bought * from the donations is now part of an expensive lifestyle funded by them. They gave money to a crook who has a record of financial criminality and lying. Just as let down as the numpties who voted for the lying Johnson. What, did they think these two were going to suddenly change ? Did they think the ever dishonest Farage was not going to fiddle his expenses and allowances ? If you trust self-serving shysters then don't act surprised when they turn out to be ...................... self-serving shysters. * his wife bought ...... in case any defamation lawyers are reading this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill 1,788 Posted July 30, 2020 project fear.... baa baa.... four legs good.....farage lies..... baa baa U.K. companies seeking to export their wares to the European Union will have to prove the origin of their goods to qualify for duty-free access under any potential post-Brexit free-trade agreement — a bureaucratic headache that’s about to menace 150 billion pounds ($195 billion) of goods. The end of Britain’s customs union with the EU means U.K. firms will have to comply with so-called rules of origin to trade with nations in the region once the Brexit transition period ends on Dec. 31. Many have never had to identify the share of their exports that’s produced domestically, and if they can’t do it they’ll have to pay tariffs on goods shipped to the EU. In addition to a new mountain of paperwork, a certificate of origin costs about 30 pounds per shipment, according to the U.K. Trade Policy Observatory at the University of Sussex. The threat posed by post-Brexit rules-of-origin restrictions to U.K. operations of automakers such as Nissan and Toyota, which collectively employ about 10,000 people, could be existential. That’s because trade agreements usually require about 55% of a product to be made locally in order to qualify for zero-tariff treatment. Yet only about 20% to 25% of the overall value of cars produced in the U.K. originates domestically, according to research group U.K. in a Changing Europe. Even the famous Mini Cooper would be in the firing line. Only about 40% of the value of the parts in the iconic vehicle, made by BMW at its factory near Oxford, are produced in the U.K. Given that it would be virtually impossible for Mini to replace European-made parts with U.K.-made ones by Jan. 1, models exported from Britain would be on track to face a 10% tariff without an agreement on rules of origin. “Price increases would be inevitable, with potential for reduced demand and therefore reduced production,” Graham Biggs, a spokesman for BMW, said in an email. Hopes hang on the U.K. and EU coming to an agreement on rules of origin in their ongoing trade talks. Britain has made an ambitious proposal that counts inputs as local provided they originate from the bloc or any country with which the U.K. or EU has a trade agreement. Until white smoke emerges from the talks — which could extend into October with no guarantees of a deal — companies are left not knowing whether they’ll have to reorganize their supply chains to be able to export to the EU tariff-free post-Brexit.'' https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2020-07-30/supply-chains-latest-brexit-worries-pile-up-with-new-trade-rules Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill 1,788 Posted July 31, 2020 5 hours ago, Rock The Boat said: So explain why most favoured nation status would be imposed by the WTO on the UK and.not Canada. More important, hand crank, is why you didn't know this - setting aside your usual ignorance on these matters It is easy to find and has been discussed on here numerous times However, if you do have the limited memory as Swindon, them let me refresh that space "under the WTO's "most favoured nation" rules, the UK couldn't lower tariffs just for the EU (or any specific country) without doing so for the rest of the world, unless it had agreed a trade deal, or as part of a transition to that deal." and it is not being imposed or any other similar nonsense, this was what the UK agreed to when it was introduced, and what the UK has voluntarily sought to use ps this evolved out of GATT when it became the WTO - and did you not tell us once that you worked on the GATT agreement talks in Uruguay..... or were you just lying again ?

Bill 1,788 Posted August 1, 2020 More brexit stupidity No doubt it has escaped what limited thought the average brexiteer has, but the Eurotunnel is a joint venture between the UK and France. Therefore there has to be joint agreement on it's running. Which means an agreed method for resolving any disagreements, Up to now it has had such a method, It works, keeps the tunnel running smoothly and without disruption Sadly that is now threatened by brexiteer stupidity "“It would mean train drivers would have to have two sets of qualifications to drive on the British and French side of the tunnel. It would affect how you operate the tunnel with potential for divergence in the future on everything from signalling, voltage, the radio systems, the signalling system, ventilation, hydraulics. It would be like driving on the left- and right-hand side of the road at the same time,” said a source." https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/jul/30/brexit-european-court-row-puts-eurotunnel-operations-at-risk 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigFish 1,975 Posted August 2, 2020 I'm confused, my Bexiteer friends assured me that the EU was breaking up, that the example sety by Brexit would eagerly be followed. How come satisfaction with the EU in Ireland is now 92%. Don't they know how much better global Britain will be. Or is this because Boris has gifted them Northern Ireland? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill 1,788 Posted August 3, 2020 But surely brexit was to deliver up a wealth of trade deals that would enrich the UK beyond its wildest dream - not clogged up ports and shortages of food and medicines It can't be that so many simple minded folk were conned, can it ? Still, Johnson did say in July 2019 that he had a plan to deal with dysfunctional care home system - kill off the residents would seem to be the plan much as with the housing shortage - kill off the elderly so as to free up housing never mind. he also has a plan to deal with obesity (the irony of it coming from him) by encouraging folk to go out and stuff themselves....subsidised by the government ............. it will be the meek he is after next 🙄 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
