"Question is what is to be taken as the baseline, the current state decimated by the EU or the thriving industry it once was?"

So true, Pete, so true - decades of mismanagement by bureaucrats totally remote from the front line.

Scruff - 2 very frivolous remarks from me regarding a couple of your earlier posts.

To improve the Boris Bounce: perhaps we need to fatten him up and drop him from a greater height?

On the Wells Fargo buybacks: the Lloyds version of this is like outlaws holding up the stagecoach and then giving the stolen shares back to the market.

Cheshire pete, I'm with you there, very much the litmus test of how Team Tory intends to look after this country.

Very rarely do I look at this thread for something of value re Lloyds. All it does is provide a social commentary on the degree of anger - which means fear - in an unrepresentative - I hope - group. Of the 300,000 posts, 98% come from a handful of posters who presumably believe the Lloyds tag gives them credibility. They certainly cannot have a useful role in life if time on thread is anything to go by. Rather like a Russian in the time of Stalin who took Pravda as Gospel, these quote prolifically from the Mail, Express, Telegraph and Sun as if this privately owned Ministry of Propaganda is not wholly engaged in news presentation for its own profit. The media narrative is risible for those who think or look any further. Take the recent Bloomberg research. Historically linked to the economic performance of the G7, from the moment of the referendum we departed negatively declining £110bn to date. So in three years we have lost over five times the three years net contribution we make to the EU. Some success Brexiteers. Just watch the mirage melt away and the blame game motor.

Standing up for our fishing industry is a litmus test for real Brexit. Question is what is to be taken as the baseline, the current state decimated by the EU or the thriving industry it once was?

Cretin. Some Indian post notices a random similarity, posts it in a paper, its pretty much instantly debunked by more credible sources and the paper is withdrawn, but conspiracy theorists and those with little or no understanding claim its a manmade virus. Be burning witches next to remove the virus curse.

A very good point!!!!!

All the EU money Remoaners claimed was given to UK should now be available for redistribution to other EU nations no?????

Hahahahaha

Post Brexit EU budget squabbles!



Budget cuts inevitable.
No UK Money anymore post 2021.

So expect a final raping from EU - GDP related fines on UK.

Fishing rights will be traded for something else ... bear in mind the main customer for our fish is the EU ... what we are seeing is posturing prior to negotiation.

I keep waiting for Boris to throw the fishermen under a bus..




Politics latest news: UK must become the new Norway and defend its fish stocks, says former minister







Harry Yorke, political correspondent
7 FEBRUARY 2020 • 8:57AM


Britain must become an "independent maritime nation" like Norway and must not be locked into binding commitments on fishing with the European Union, a former environment secretary has said.

Boris Johnson is preparing for his first major show down with Brussels over a future trade agreement, with Brussels demanding access to the UK's fishing waters in exchange for financial services.

However, Owen Paterson, a senior Tory Brexiteer, has this morning warned that access cannot be "built into" a binding treaty and must instead be negotiated on an annual basis.

Speaking to BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Mr Paterson said that Brexit offered the UK the opportunity to "stop the horrors" of the Commons Fisheries Policy, which he said forced fishermen to throw back "a million tonnes of fish dead as pollution every year."....

China lowers tariffs on U.S goods.

[xxxxxy] 07/2/2020 08:22

jeff farmer7 Feb 2020 7:16AMnever mind the 2.5% tariffs, hopefully the 31% tariff on all makes of motorcycles imported from the USA and the 22% tariff on heavy trucks from anywhere will get binned. (Ever wondered why you never see Japanese/South Korean/Chinese trucks in the uk?) So all small transport companies in 24 eu countries have to pay more for their trucks just to protect Swedish/German/French/Italian truck makers!
