And people like me - an (ex)-working man who has always been against what I correctly guessed would attempt to be a 'Eurostate' with it's attendant insufficiencies.

FYI  I voted against it early on, when we were given the chances, and, IMHO, I was right.

Farmers getting worried, looks like that manifesto promise is on the rocks...

 

Chlorinated chicken concern grows among Wales' farmers:

Farmers?

 

Try the UK haulage industry, between insufficient EMTs, the incoming mountain of customs red tape, and the age distribution of the population of UK haulage drivers.

 

That one is critical to sustaining your economy (never mind avoiding shortages of *everything*) from day one, come 1st January 2021.

 

@pmdfoster is worth a follow about these topics.

More of whiplash Boris - the fastest U-turner in the west...

 

From the BBC: "The UK has abandoned plans for full border checks with the EU on 1 January amid pressures caused by the coronavirus pandemic, the Financial Times reports Cabinet Office minister Michael Gove has accepted that businesses cannot cope with problems stemming from the outbreak and at the same time deal with post-Brexit disruption at the border, the FT says. Instead, the government will bring in a temporary light-touch system at ports, the paper reports."

 

 

Take back control except we can't control the pandemic as the government shuts down too late, we can't control the borders because the government is incompetent...

 

Chaos in the NHS, financial ruin in the country and yet no control...

 

I love it when a plan comes together - you must be happy now Brexiteers?

So why not just extend the deadline for Brexit?

Because reasons 

 

There's no deadline to extend for Brexit. That happened on 31 January 2020.

 

The only deadline that can be extended, is the scheduled end to the Withdrawal Agreement on 31 December 2020.

 

And the deadline to request and agree that extension, is 30 June 2020. In 18 days.

It's a good cover for failing to sort out border infrastructure and staffing. The Little Englander brexiters will be upset and will no doubt complain when the EU, which got its act together re border stuff, doesn't reciprocate. For the free market ultras it's just things going to plan - they want us to be able import anything from anywhere without regulations or tariffs. And let's not forget, under WTO rules, light-touch border controls won't just apply to the EU.

Which is precisely why it will be killing UK exports to anywhere as well (how can you comply with WTO Rules of Origin, if you can't garantee -with the correct paper trail, which inludes a customs trail for imported materials and components- what from where went into the product when?)

 

 beside kicking into touch any and all FTA negotiations with any and all countries like the US, AU, JP, CN, EU27, etc. (who needs an FTA, with a country which takes in anything and everything from everywhere without checks?)

 

What. A. Mess.

So, the wunderkind (next PM?)  that is Mr Gove announces that the government has "formally confirmed" it will not extend the Brexit transition period.

 

But we won't have full border checks... or, or, or, or,...

 

Pathetic!!!!

Not to worry.

 

We've got your back: in answer to Gove, Barnier was quick to confirm the EU27's willingness to work extra-hard, extra-fast on concluding sectoral aspects of the agreement.

 

All 700 of them.

 

Within the next 3.5 months.

 

(it all needs to be finalised by early October, to make the voting rounds across the EU in good time by 31 December).

 

Something, something, snowball, something, hell.

Well it looks like our "new" (ie - if and when agreed) independent trade deals with the USA, Australia and New Zealand are going to be worth next to nothing to the UK  - by the governments own calculations.

 

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-trade-deal-new-zealand-economy-jacinda-ardern-a9571421.html

 

The NZ deal at best increases GDP by 0.01%, the Australian by 0.02% and the USA by a whopping 0.16%.

 

And yet HMG are ******* about with the EU deal (or more than likely no deal) which is far larger than all the others put together.
