Boris is taking us over that cliff.

Complete and utter madness during a pandemic but the Brexiters have never been a sensible bunch.

Many millenia ago the Brexiters would be the ones found holding on to their clubs rather than holding onto the females and the edible meat.

[minerve 2] 28/11/2020 15:02

And the numpties continue to argue over less than .1% of GDP.

Shame the Brexiters and Tory lovers didn't care as much for the miners as they now do for the fishermen.

What's different now I wonder?

Get ready for a No Deal and the £ collapsing to parity with the $.

Luckily, it's only money, and who gives a toss?

Boris Johnson's decision to impose tougher tiers of restrictions on much of the country this week will cost the economy £900 million a day, according to a leading economic forecaster....

Labour party must have a pact. Say nowt let this Loony govt rip the economy to shreds. Its going to be a long time before the tories can claim fiscal responsibility without everyone bursting into laughter. Gonna be even harder to level criticism of future labour spending plans. They will just smirk and give them the two fingered salute. Same I suspect as will the rest of the electorate. The red wall has gone I suspect.
The only opposition at the moment is the 50 or so Tory 'rebels'. Labour are watching the rat sack shaking furiously. Dont get involved - just wait til it is still and there is no sign of life - and then bin it. Madness

G2 - looked like it.

[grahamite2] 28/11/2020 14:23

Alphorn, are you saying that exactly the same text is to be found on those 20 sites?

I once found something very similar when I looked up blue smoke, white smoke, black smoke coming from your exhaust. Some chap went to the trouble of writing a useful comparison and others had just copied his words.

A new UK fishing industryBy JOHNREDWOOD | Published: NOVEMBER 28, 2020Remembering past experiences of EU negotiations some fear another sell out of our fish. Unrelenting Remain supporters tell us as the fishing industry is so small, we should make concessions to secure other unspecified advantages in a general agreement. If the industry is as unimportant as they say it is to us, why would the EU be so keen to win concessions on it?Isn't the truth that it is small today for the UK only because most of our fish are taken by continental boats and often taken away for processing far from our shores?Fish is one of many important wins from Brexit for the UK. It is also totemic, because most agree our membership of the EEC, now the EU, came with the sacrifice of our once large and healthy fishing industry. We have gone from good surplus and plenty of stock in our seas, to overfishing from abroad and an astonishing net deficit in fish.The government needs to take action to make the most of this opportunity. They must of course hold firm in negotiations and refuse to make any sacrifice of our fish. A Free Trade Agreement makes sense for the EU, so there is no need to sweeten the deal with a gift of fish.The government should also get on with the following policiesAnnounce freeports, including our best fishing harbours, with favourable tax and regulatory conditions to found and grow a high quality food processing industry on the back of more landed fish.Offer a fund to finance or guarantee finance on the purchase of new vessels from a UK yard or second hand vessels from a non UK owner, to undertake a rapid expansion of the UK fishing fleet.Offer more training and training support packages to people wishing to undertake work in the industry.Add Enterprise Zones to our Freeports, encouraging food manufacturers to make up great fish recipes, provide frozen product and help identify new markets for our food at home and abroad.I am sending this to the government for consideration.

Very interesting #321751 mrelbee. Where did it come from?

We may hope the Conservative rebels will bring this out of control government to heel, but if they fail, it may have to happen at a more grassroots level.

[maxk] 28/11/2020 14:01

The real booby trap is a Doris sell out.

How the hell can M Barnier have the cheek to offer us a small % of our fishing catch?

He must have had the nod.

[poikka] 28/11/2020 13:57

I see that the Labour Party are saying that the Government has taken their advice, issued 'days' ago, that a Minister for Vaccine should be appointed.

Christ, they're a feeble bunch. Long may they remain so.

[poikka] 28/11/2020 13:54

Seeing as 70-80% of the fish in UK waters goes to the EU, they'll never stop buying it.

I know that when you're negotiating, starting with a low figure is a given, but for Barnier to 'offer' (ffs) to 'return' 15-18% of the current EU catch to the UK, smacks of amateurism beyond belief - unless, of course, he's thinking of just the first year. It'll take time for the UK to build-up their fleet, again. I'd watch out for booby traps if any redundant frog boats are for sale.

Scottish fishermen take aim at 'bullying' EU over Brexit talksBrussels acting like 'the bully who steals your lunch every day and expects us to be grateful for few crumbs he hands back' says trade bodyByChristopher Hope,CHIEF POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT..."Maybe, just maybe, they are at last waking up to smell the fish. They have made a small offer to give us a paltry extra share. It would be less than 10 per cent of the total catch. Of the fish of which we now the legal owner."It is like the bully who steals your lunch every day and expects you to be grateful for the few crumbs he hands back."But maybe, just maybe, they now know their threats are hollow, that international law is not on their side and that they have most to lose."

Tricky
Thats funny :-)

[scruff1] 28/11/2020 13:31

But I will say one thing for the Conservatives it is only their MP's that are objecting to this economic vandalism. Has anyone heard a squeak from Labour MP's? It seems to be their policy to keep stum and let Chaos and his smirking side kick destroy themselves and their party for a generation. Why get involved? It must be great to be them and just watch and laugh as the lunatics beat themselves to death.

[scruff1] 28/11/2020 13:18

In the absence of any figures produced(or more likely 'revealed')by the government an economic forecaster has calculated that the Tear system devised by captain chaos (or more likely someone close to him with more ability) will cost £900m PER DAY.
This is a Conservative government the party of fiscal responsibility. What hope is there for the future.

[alphorn] 28/11/2020 13:12

stoned - you are laughable. The scary bit is that you have started to believe the rubbish that you write.

Even some of the lead politicians post referendum did not understand the difference of the Single Market and the Customs Union. Even today the Irish issue is swept under the carpet. Idiots who want to run your life.

[utrickytrees] 28/11/2020 12:49

Maxk I thought it unusual when I noticed a whaling vessel with 'save minerve' on side navagating the Leeds liverpool canal last week..I'd bet hes had the jab already.

[cheshire pete] 28/11/2020 12:42

Why didn't May initiate building trawlers after the Referendum result. Boris could have too. Cost about 30 mill, every time lift net out earns £150k according to our fishmonger, nice business if you can get it lol.

[mr.elbee] 28/11/2020 12:37

so relevant to exactly what ?
Redwood is chicken he could sort Boris and co out tomorrow.

[xxxxxy] 28/11/2020 12:35

John Redwood@johnredwood·1hThe UK should be setting out great plans to expand our fishing fleet and increase our food processing industries as we take back control of our seas. Read how on
