I see farmers are up in arms over the proposed full free trade deal with Australia as it doesn’t protect them and the Tories are split on it also.

It’s amazing how quickly the 2 industries that were absolutely, definitely going to do well out of Brexit have become the first casualties. Always said that the biggest victims were going to be those that voted for it, still didn’t see this coming.They knew what they voted for!

Fishing industry. Never regained full control of our waters, lost access to fishing grounds, lost access to market, no frictionless trade.
Farming Industry. Lost workforce, lost access to market and look to be losing protection of home market because we have a government so desperate for pro Brexit headlines that they’ll sign anything. Like the Northern Ireland protocol. Or a free trade deal with Australia that damages U.K. industries.
We clearly don’t hold this one eitherYou don’t know what you’re doing, you don’t know what you’re doing.
Brexit negotiator says EU agri-food agreement 'difficult to reach'
Lord Frost said it is an "issue of principle" that the UK will not align with EU rules.www.bbc.co.uk
Someone remind me. Do we still hold all the cards?
That shit haunts my youth.Oh good we might be getting bacon back with what seemed to be two little false teeth along one edge.
Funny what the memory can produce when you flash back to circa 1965.
I know we have Canadian cheddar back
Heres a great thread explaining what Force Majeure and how it works. The government don't have a leg to stand on.Force majeure. FFS.
It seemed to focus on Scottish farmer's yesterday.It's an odd route to go down, not just because it's got no chance whatsoever of succeeding but it opens a massive can of worms.
If the Brexit deal can have force majuere applied to it and win, then the same argument could be applied to Brexit overall. There's far more to suggest that there have been many numerous 'unforeseen' problems that Brexit has caused which voters could say they were unaware of at the time that have been catastrophically bad for them personally, for their region, the country as a whole and for the EU as well.
It's also an argument Sturgeon could use for independence as they could say the last vote it was unforeseen that they would be made to leave the EU by being part of the UK.

I think they're already suffering to an extent from the policies of the milk collection companies tending to stop picking up from smaller operator's .
Recieving advice to maybe develop property on the land instead I think.
There is a company called Arla, not sure if it's the same collection company prepared to finance and guide through taking the development route.
Force majeure. FFS.
Who could have foreseen such an event?
YeahThats quite worrying to be honest.
Think there have been grants for diversification, not sure of the source, imagine some would have been EU.I confess I know zero about the economics of farming over the last few years. but I have noticed just how many farmsteads have been developed and upgraded on the outskirts of the City that I know well. I'm puzzled as to where the money came from, if not from the EU (which presumably is why Farmers were for Brexit). Is it simply the selling of land?
The excuses just keep coming and coming. And getting weaker and weaker.
When will any Leavers finally admit they got it wrong?
Another Brexit benefit... oh
I always find it bizarre that Remainers appear to revel in people losing their jobs especially if there is any potential tie to Brexit.
It took one google to find this article
Melrose under fire over plans to close GKN factory in Birmingham
MPs and unions criticise proposal to move work carried out in Erdington plant to France and Polandwww.google.co.uk
There might be a minor Brexit angle but from the article it appears they’re moving because it will be (far) cheaper labour in Poland and the fact that the plant has lost 100m over a decade. Fair play to Peckham at Melrose for his honestly, brutal (like most PE) but easy option would’ve be to blame Brexit and let people lap it up when anyone scratching beneath the surface would see the plant appears unviable
Piss off firstly. The time to care about these peoples jobs was 5 years ago when you voted to destroy them, you don’t get to pretend to care now.
Secondly, gallows humour is a thing.
I was talking about Ian Charles applauding ‘leave voting erdington’, how does he know who at the plant voted for what ?! Even though the article suggests it’s nothing to do with Brexit
Ps I’ve given my reasons for voting the way I did and the concerns I had (and still have) thanks shmmeee.
Steve, a big selling point of Brexit was that things like the above wouldn't happen. Nobody here or in fact anywhere is revelling in people losing their jobs
