Apple Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I can't and won't answer for CT - he can do that himself. Maybe though he is disappointed that CM did not carry out AB's promise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Non-Believer Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I see from sn article on Sky News today that the Scottish fishing industry is less than enamoured with the position it now finds itself in regarding its fresh seafood exports to the EU. Miles of red tape and HMRC inexperience in raising the necessary paperwork to allow the export of a very perishable commodity means that trailers are currently parked up and fishing boats tied up simply because they can't export it before it goes off. Workforce are furloughed and the situation is apparently going to take some considerable time to resolve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic tory misdirection there, getting everyone talking about fish while the Friday afternoon press releases quietly come out about the abolition of workers rights. Remember EU BAD, British good.

Don't forget it was the EU that insist that kippers have to be posted with an 'ice pillow' https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-49030873 Why anyone is surprised that this Government is unprepared for Brexit is the big shocker! We held all the cards! We were going to do away with EU red tape. The EU can't survive without the UK! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember EU BAD, British good. What have I missed this morning? The last update that I saw is below; https://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=dec76b5f-3e23-4e1d-88e6-bb6ee6fa3fc5&utm_source=Lexology+Daily+Newsfeed&utm_medium=HTML+email+-+Body+-+General+section&utm_campaign=PPR+IOP+subscriber+daily+feed&utm_content=Lexology+Daily+Newsfeed+2021-01-15&utm_term= Surprisingly seems to strengthen the position of employees in most cases.

Non-Believer Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 The Scottish fishing industry is 500 miles+ away from Westminster. Conveniently difficult to hear or see them at that distance. Also a tiny part of UK GDP. Boris and his mates have their own interests and benefits to advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
