"Three quarters of hauliers could be left without permits and unable to bring in goods from the continent if there is no Brexit trade deal, the freight industry has warned." When set against the sheer stupidity of brexiteers bleating about wanting a no deal brexit, it is not unbelievable. Clueless to any real implications of their ignorance they continue with having the heads stuck up Farage's lower colon, trusting that he is not lying to them. He is, just as he has been his whole career. Perhaps though they might believe the word of the Telegraph https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2020/07/18/three-quarters-hauliers-face-loss-permits-no-deal-brexit/ "While the number of permits the UK would receive under the ECMT scheme would be decided at the EU level, the DfT would allocate them." So it will be the EU who decides how many lorries can enter the EU So much for the UK not being a rule taker 😂 Edited November 19, 2020 by Bill 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surfer 1,547 Posted November 19, 2020 As the saying goes "the fish rots from the head", would be ironic if Brexit unravelled because of fishing wouldn't it? (not because it is particularly important, but it has been put up by Brexit supporters and Boris's government as an icon of all things "British" that must be protected) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Apples 1,317 Posted November 19, 2020 Speaking of Brexity fish and pish, from today's Daily Mash. 🤣 We don't need Nissan because we'll be rolling in fish, and four other Brexiter delusions PEOPLE who believe Brexit is going to be a massive success seem to live in a highly imaginative parallel universe. Here are some of their favourite delusions. Fish will solve all our problems Britain will be as rich as Saudi Arabia thanks to all our fish. It doesn’t matter if industrial supply chains break down – we’ll just make cars out of dried fish powered by fish oil, which is probably like petrol. It’s no wonder foreigners are so scared of British ingenuity. The NHS will be amazing Once Brussels stops stealing all our money, our hospitals will be swish and futuristic. No matter that our own government keeps cocking up relatively simple projects like ‘Operation Moonshot’ – in 2021 NHS patients will be tended to by high-tech robot nurses, like in sci-fi films. Only they’ll be sexy. Joe Biden wants to take our Brexit away Were it not for the Good Friday Agreement, Joe Biden probably wouldn’t give a toss about Brexit. However, Brexiters won’t let that stop them pretending it’s at the very top of his list, because they think everyone’s as rabidly obsessed with it as they are. ‘Global Britain’ will be a huge success Brexiters keep banging on about ‘Global Britain’, but that’s understandable because they’ve yet to progress from ‘simple slogans’ to ‘discussing reality’. At the moment all it seems to mean is that we’ve got a so-so trade deal with Japan. Well, Japan is on the globe, so it’s technically ‘global’. Britain will remain a pleasant place to live Kent won’t be a concrete plain of lorries, portaloos and misery. Deprived post-industrial regions won’t get even more depressing. No, all of Britain will be a sunlit upland of lovely villages – like the ones in war films. All it takes is a bit of imagination. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You've obviously missed the latest scientific research on the versatility of fish. Theres; Fish petrol for cars Fish insulin for diabetics. Fish can be retrained as plumbers, care workers and Border Agency staff. Fish ferries can be created by convincing 6 or more fish to swim very close to each other. Fish fish for people who like to eat fish. Fish teachers, fish spend a lot of time in schools. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surfer 1,547 Posted December 1, 2020 No point posting in the Positive Brexit thread as there is nothing positive about it... https://ukandeu.ac.uk/sovereignty-and-brexit-control-of-what-exactly/ As we enter the last weeks of negotiation between Britain and the EU, things are not looking good. All the possible outcomes look both painful and expensive for the UK. How did we get here? At the root of the problem is the British government’s definition of sovereignty. It is a definition closer to that used by North Korea than to that of any other free-trading western nation, focussed above all on absolute physical control of borders, laws and money, rather than effective control of the things that will protect Britain’s interests.

That is exactly right and is the UK's problem in a nutshell. But you got to admit that it takes a special kind of stupid to prioritise the physical control of our borders over everything else when you've already signed an international treaty to keep our only land border with the EU completely open. We've got stupid, very stupid, moronic, imbecilic and a few others but I don't think the English language has yet managed to produce a word to adequately describe the utter stupidity of the ardent Brexiteers and the current Government.

Bill 1,788 Posted December 1, 2020 "The US, Australia, New Zealand and Canada all allow farmers to feed antibiotics routinely to livestock to make them grow faster, and in the US and Canada farm antibiotic use is about five times the level in the UK, data compiled by the Alliance to Save Our Antibiotics shows Meat produced in this way is cheaper, because the animals grow faster and can be kept in overcrowded conditions.

horsefly 4,283 Posted December 5, 2020 Brexit: Final bid to prevent huge new tariffs ruining African farmers amid allegations of UK ‘bullying’ (msn.com) A sad example of just how far this malignant Brexsh*ite catastrophe spreads its foul consequences. "Brexit: Final bid to prevent huge new tariffs ruining African farmers amid allegations of UK ‘bullying" "A last-gasp bid will be made to prevent Brexit ruining African farmers – and hitting British exports – amid allegations of government “bullying” of developing countries. Farmers in Ghana will be hit with huge new tariffs on key exports including bananas and tuna, unless the country agrees to ‘roll over’ its existing trade deal, from the UK’s EU membership, by the end of the month. But its government has protested it would be forced to break a legal agreement with other West African countries – and has condemned the “take it or leave it” approach pursued by London. Liz Truss, the trade secretary, has refused to allow existing trade terms to continue until the row can be settled, despite warnings of tens of thousands of “devastating” job losses in Ghana. “People in Ghana are very angry. They do not understand why Britain is behaving in this way, why it is acting like a bully,” a source close to the negotiations told The Independent." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

National Farmers Union president Minette Batters said that no-deal Brexit would see tariffs as high as 85 per cent imposed on British beef and 62 per cent on lamb, 51 per cent on malt and barley. It would be very savage. No-deal would cost the sector £1.36bn in new levies on exports, and would also impose “huge costs” on importers which are likely to be passed on to consumers in higher prices, she warned. Meanwhile, a Conservative former cabinet minister said that food shortages were possible, as continental hauliers halt trips to the UK in order to avoid queues, disruption and Brexit red tape at the Channel ports." https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-no-deal-farms-george-eustice-nfu-b1766991.html Though those of a colder heart might have the words "as you sew so shall you reap" on their lips Emergency food supplies are flown in from the EU, to help with the Great British winter famine As the previous PM Johnson said yesterday 'Never have so many depended on so few for so much' Edited December 6, 2020 by Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
