It's a right old scam. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reduction in these flights, combined with increase in online business, probably does impact on shipping costs. I commented a couple of days ago about companies taking advantage, of course some will do so, but I admit that I hadn't considered this at that time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right about him shafting the DUP about a fortnight after saying there would be "No Surrender" at that years Tory Conference, how the DUP laughed at the time, as the saying goes, they're not laughing now. I think BJ is quite happy in his role as the Lord of Misrule, safe in the knowledge he'll be gone when the brown stuff hits the fan...

I understand that the Tories are to go for some kind of further extension allowing sausages and mince to continue across the trade boundary. As I recall, there was a Yes Minister episode about the "eurosausage".... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The EU were going to rename the British sausage as a "high fat offal tube" High fat offal tube is a fairly accurate description of Boris Johnson ironically enough. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd guess that the equipment in the unit will have to be removed or somehow modified as it is specific to fluorescent tech. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speckled tangerine Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 It seems that the EU are calling the UK bluff on the grace period on certain imports into Norn Iron. The brexit agreement needs to be implemented by the end of June, as previously agreed or heavy tariffs and export bans on UK goods may well apply. The Prime Minister may have carte blanche to do whatever he likes at home with that thumping majority, but in the real world it seems his policy of marking the brown demand letters coming through the door for him "gone away-not at this address" has very limited effectiveness. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2021/jun/10/boris-johnson-must-respect-rule-of-law-implement-brexit-deal-eu?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speckled tangerine Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 When you think about it, cutting foreign aid by 4 billion, not respecting international agreements we've only recently signed and sending gunboats out to intimidate fisherman- the UK appears to the rest of Europe and the world as a fucking joke. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
