I have no interest in keeping anyone fearful; why would I? Just try staying in the real world.

[cheshire pete] 28/11/2020 17:36

Need to change the rhetoric Alphorn if you want to keep people fearful, that is my point otherwise counter productive....s'pose shouldn't really be pointing it out if not obvious lol.

A key argument of the remainers has been rather subtly removed, namely that no deal brexit would leave us in debt. Well after COVID debt piling up any short term debt from no deal will be like a flea on the back of an elephant. Not worth worrying about, not that it ever was.

cheshire - have you? Still a member of the Single Market and the Customs Union. I know reality is hard to grasp - but just try for one weekend.

Idiot drakeford seems to want to follow the Wee B route and kill the Whisky industry
No drinks in pubs.
How stupid these ppl are.
Rules for the sake of it.
As to the flu jab - I shall pass - it seems to have benefited so few at a huge cost.
The mail suggests in a article today the the Govt madness has resulted in borrowings of £6 million for each said to be associated death.
Utter utter incompetence and rules written by kingergarten standard staff in what is /was purported to be the org that protects the health of the nation.
And not an iota of an apology!!!!!!!!!!!!

Utricky

We may grow the fishing industry, but there is no point refusing to do a deal to protect less than 1% when it risks severe damage to the sectors that represent bigger chunks!

I tell you what, go and see your highest spending customer on Monday, punch him in the face and tell him to FO, then go and see that granny who spent a tenner on you to move that little crab apple a few years back and spend all month with her discussing how you might double her spend to £20.

If you don’t please tell me why not because this is what Brexiter behaviour is all about.

Critical assessment
just 1%
They never knew
Why did Macfisheries disappear?
All so easy to dismiss that which u have no knowledge of.
Bit like the witless bore who pronounced to the HOC Com that based on data from NINETY EIGHT pubs - he witless considered that a SIGNIFICANT proportion of exposure to the virus happened at hospitality venues.
Given that 14500 pubs are to be closed in T 3 and I guess similar in T2 - 98 out out of 30k is not NOT and never will be a representative sample - yet jeremy (Unt) and his mates had no clue as to what the witless assumption was and ??? a challenge.
That is y i say HOC is full of WOSs

1% of GDP, could quite easily turn into 7 or 8% if the Jocks pulled their fingers out and commissioned a load more ships and captain birdseye opened a few more processing plants.40% of Denmark's entire fishing take comes from Britain's territorial waters. In the Celtic Sea, France gets nearly three times the British allocation of Dover sole, roughly four times more cod and five times more haddock. France has 84% of the quota for cod in the English Channel, while Britain has only 9%. So it's really quite disingenuous to blithely dismiss UK fishing as 1% of GDP.

The coal had gone (at least that that was cost effective to mine) the fish are still there just. The miners were quite happy to shut the country down at will every time 'King Arthur' uttered 'out brothers out'. Not much of a 'brother' now is he? Still makes the NUM (whats left of it ) pay for his plush London flat even though he bankrupted them with his 'leadership' so called.

[jl5006] 28/11/2020 15:22

Just an Xmas cracker.
The EU wants their deal
Forget it - Why make a further fool of urself BJ - ca suffit

[minerve 2] 28/11/2020 15:05

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....

Poika

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.

[portside1] 28/11/2020 14:19

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.
