As far as trade is concerned we only left this year when the transition period ended. Even then aspects of leaving are being phased in and that phasing in is now being delayed. Things are still going to get more complicated.

It’s bound to have played some part in the reduction of trade in both directions. However, it can’t explain the disparity between the figures. The trade deficit has grown and grown substantially and only one thing has substantially changed enough to explain that. Leaving the EU.

“We’ve taken back control” said a representative from the EU https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-03-12/u-k-firms-decry-brexit-s-unfair-border-as-eu-goods-move-freely

We’ve got people in the supply chain running out of all sorts of random stuff. These are suppliers who stockpiled towards the end of last year in many cases too and didn’t stockpile enough it seems. We’re being told things aren’t going to be available until April but they promptly expect to run...

I wonder if the axing of The Mash Report is cancel culture?

It’s the difference. The trade deficit with the EU has grown as a direct result of Brexit. That is now indisputable.

Does this finally put an end to the myth that it will damage “them” more than it will damage us? I see we’re also going to continue to wave through EU imports because the government are concerned about food shortages. So does this put an end to the myth that they need us more than we need them?

I don’t know about showing them but he wouldn’t give them free reign to bullshit at a time when what the country absolutely doesn’t need is bullshit. I guess the old adage is true. You can’t bullshit a bullshitter.

That on its own is an horrendous critique of the U.K. government. Piers Morgan can take the moral high ground on them.

Yet I think imports of French cheese are largely uninterrupted by Brexit. Taking back control?

That can’t be true. The Express is celebrating the Brexit win of a trade deal with Albania, a first for a European country in their words, wave the flags. What? What’s that you say? It’s just another continuation deal? Something staying the same is now a Brexit “win”. Wave the flags again.

I had nothing but issues with them either. Insisted on doing a survey, wouldn’t let me order what I wanted. We just wanted the layout exactly the same as before so all they had to do was count the existing cupboards and log the sizes, they fucked that up, fucked up measuring the worktop so that...

Being serious for a moment, can we have Vegan sausage rolls.

Can we have hand jobs for everyone from a Swedish princess. Or Prince if you prefer.

What’s the situation with the academy at the Higgs centre at the moment? If we haven’t got the security of a long term commitment can we get one or pressure all parties involved to pursue that security.

Which really proves just how wrong the government got it when even Piers Morgan can take the moral high ground on the government.

What’s the betting he gave it the it’s him or me line.

Not race. Definitely not race. All the right people (pun intended) are saying so. Definitely not race.

It’s probably down to the different brands of shampoo they use. Or something else as far away from race as possible. Definitely not race though.

Didn’t watch it and couldn’t really care either way when it comes to the monarchy. But what I do find funny is the amount of people who on one hand want the monarchy abolished and on the other find Megan’s behaviour disrespectful to the monarchy.
