    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    You’re worrying about nothing. A government of liars has said it won’t happen so it won’t.

    You should tell that to the people and families that work in the fishing industry that’s about to collapse. It will probably help them sleep at night.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Seems also that the government forgot to include the Falkland Islands in the Brexit deal. 40% of the Falkland Islands GDP is based in EU trade and it now faces import tariffs on everything it exports to the EU between 6-18% as well as red tape.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    The term was used by the leave campaigns to describe the warnings of experts. Gove even declaring that “we’ve” had enough of experts. The real issue is that “project fear” is proving already in the first weeks to have been hopelessly optimistic. As the fishing industry is finding out to its...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    The fishing communities which between 60-70% off voted for Brexit were promised 100% control of our waters and unfettered access to the EU market. Both of which just like the slogan on the side of it were thrown under the bus. James O’Brien in the week was making the point that the one industry...

    Just doesn’t sit comfortably with me Clint. I’m not a Christian but I believe in forgiveness and theirs little doubt in my mind that the people who voted for it are the biggest victims.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    It’s too easy to say they got what they voted for. It’s people’s livelihoods we’re talking about here and personally I’m starting to think that the biggest victims in Brexit are going to be those that voted for it. They have nothing but my sympathy and if I wasn’t a committed veggie I’d be...

    Hauliers we use are telling us that their warehouses are now that full with stuff waiting to be sorted for the EU they’re sending anything received with incomplete or incorrect paperwork straight back to sender.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Over an international holiday. We’ve found a hole already at work. Moving goods for service work that are then moved back. If we were sending stuff to the EU for service work that’s then returned back to the U.K. the EU has a system for this and always has. As EU members we could take in goods...

    Funny how Nigel Farage has disappeared on this too. Finished with the fishing industry now, nothing to do with him, move on to the next subject he can make people hysterical about just to stay relevant.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Not just Boris. The fisheries minister didn’t even read the trade deal she voted for that is just about to kill the U.K. fishing industry. If you believe what the U.K. fishing industry is saying.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    It’s the customs declaration, no way around it. For pallet deliveries we’re being quoted anywhere between £25 and £40 per consignment to Ireland and similar for the clearance once it’s there. It’s pretty much doubled the cost of a pallet delivery to Ireland.

    Suicide in veterans

    Sorry to hear that EVO. Got a few vets in my family. Some saw action some didn’t. Lost one to suicide some years ago, he’d served in the UDR during the troubles, left when he couldn’t hack it anymore, settled in England and rebuilt his life then only a few months before retirement took his life...

    It’s alright. All they need to do is call Boris and he’ll put them right.

    Is the death of flag waving as a fix all starting? JRM coming under fire from all corners of the fishing industry from all corners of the country over his remarks about about fish being happier for being British as an address the reality hitting the industry. Just to recap, fish rotting at...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Untested but possible from what I read last week. Mainly because it doesn’t specifically say in the constitution that he can’t.

    That’s a fair point. The author is a brexiteer and the source served as chairman of the ERG. Two very absurd and incredible sources.
