200 liters an hour is nothing. the installation of a small permanent submersible pump is enough. maybe welding in a few more planks and the kitchen could keep fresh sea fish there.

Tell that to the Australians.

 

Plans by the UK and European Union to share quotas for cheap food imports after Brexit have come under fire from Australia.

Restrictions on how many products can be imported into the EU on favourable rates are set across the bloc and concerns have been raised internationally that exporters could take a financial hit when the UK quits.

It seems that Barry Gardiner is one of the few with expertise in details.

Strength in trade negotiations comes from integrity, not numbers of countries.

The European single market with the enlargement of the European Union to 28 Member States is the largest common market in the world.

Believe me,

The regulation of access to this market is a very strong bargaining position.

While I am usually the last to take satisfaction at the misfortune of others, I find this to be a much more welcome Christmas message. 

Of course - to be taken with a pinch of salt. The corrupt old parasite has previously gone on record to say that he cannot survive on the 250K he pockets yearly. 

 

 

With his Joseph Goebbels rhetoric he did not make any friends. But he will go down in the history of the EU Parliament as the one who managed to personally insult all EU parliamentarians from 28 countries.

Thats a big post, but is it about distribution of wealth, opportunities, and privileges within a society, ie. social justice?

To put it more simply: In the past 30 years, uk politicians in particular have blocked progress on social justice in the EU.

To blame the EU for social injustice in the UK is simply wrong.

And you know that.

Yes, let’s have another referendum, tens years after we finally escape this shambles of a E.U. Then we will know if all the scare stories had substance or not.

 

I believe by that time,if there is still an E.U. They will have a E.U. Army, in spite of the fact, that during the referendum,we were repeatedly told that no such thing had been contemplated. One of many lies told by the political establishment.

Fantasy story.

Nobody can be so stupid to fly with an oneway ticket around half the world, with no money in the pockets to meet for the first time their online date.

Prawit reportedly declared no assets worth more than Bt200,000 when he entered the Cabinet in 2014.

Only 200,000? 

Terrifying this poverty.

How much does it cost to leave the EU's customs union? Britain doesn't know:  bloom.bg/2kuD9AM

These studies should have been carried out before declaring withdrawal under Article 50.

Now one can see the result, if people only listen to the propagandists.

Were also nice words to get rid of the prison chains, aka shackles of the EU & free trade with the whole world & safe pensions & best free health care &  without foreigners & higher wages & safe country borders.

And 52% believed in the promised miracle.That is not to be surpassed in naivety.

From Bloomberg Brexit:

David Davis on Brexit studies:

December 2016 - officials "carrying out about 57 sets of analyses"

October 2017 - the work contains "excruciating detail"

December 2017 - "there are no systematic impact assessments"

"It is unbelievable that these long-trumpeted impact assessments don't even exist, meaning the government has no idea what their Brexit plans will do to the country."

That's scary. Same as someone distribute packs of razor blades in a kindergarten and give the children to play.

"It is unbelievable that these long-trumpeted impact assessments don't even exist, meaning the government has no idea what their Brexit plans will do to the country."

As a taxpayer, one wonders for what these people are actually being paid for. Amateurs  who gamble with billions, but have not done their homework. In a company of the free economy such a manager would not even survive the probationary period.

can agree with you on one point: the EU (and the Uk is still a member!) has failed to properly protect its external borders. The unregulated influx of refugees made the brexit result possible. The distinction between true war refugees and economic immigrants did not happen at all. No one understands why European politicians are so strongly promoting the Islamization of Europe. Unfortunately, then, the whole has shifted to the question of immigration from EU citizens. Is the Polish plumber,  cucumber tiller and nurse really the problem? in another point, I have to contradict. the eu has shown a lot of patience and has built many bridges for uk. if 65% of the ni population is for the remainding in the eu, why not search for them a Solution on that basis.

I do not remember seeing the UK in such a mess since the last 50 years.

Every headless chicken has more plan.

I'm sorry for the UK. 

Allways nice to see how an expensive watch emerges from the depths to the surface.

Trump is arguably the most ruthless and stupid president in US history. Trump would sell all his friends for money. Well, the US has not so many friends now

Trump destroyed a lot. Except for the Saudis, which he loves as customers for his weapons.

I don’t think we intended them to be our enemy. 

 

 

The main factor for the Billy Smart’s effect is the fact that 2 sides agreed the mechanics, of making a divorce decision, without having anything in place to implement/quantify that divorce.

 

For that I blame the EU and Cameron. The EU for having Article 50 in their locker without the manual explaining exactly what would happen if a member were to leave. Cameron (who would actually be the best PM to lead Brexit) I blame for either the arrogance in believing he could not lose the referendum, or the stupidity in not having an exit blueprint in place.. 

Can agree.
A systematic mistake if an organization provides for a 2-year notice period, but makes the economic and financial plans for 5 years or more. Clear that there are then delimitation difficulties. Basically, at the time of the referendum, no one, neither Brexiteers nor Remainers, has fully thought through the problems, details,  issues and implications.

At the National Election, not so long ago, something like 90% of the electorate voted for parties which supported Brexit The decision was made last year, you have to live with it, but not necessarily agree with it. Yes you are obviously British in name if you have a British passport.  No what it means is if you enjoy watching and hoping for the failure of your country on the basis of a "I told you so" attitude its un British .  Many Remainers had their say at the referendum, still feel to stay is best, but have accepted the result and then hoped their country would leave with the best possible deal that could be negotiated for them. It's a pragmatic decision because the  vast majority will continue to live in the UK.  They are dismayed at what is going on, you are enjoying it. Ultimate failure would complete your enjoyment I assume. I mentioned it on another post.....there are people who when their football team goes 2nil down start cheering for the other team.

No one likes to see his homeland go to the dogs because, by chance, some weak-headed people want to play amateur theater. There is national pride in every country, that is not just a British phenomenon.

There are very few long-term benefits from putting all our eggs in the EU's basket. But we are in this situation because of corrupt, lazy politicians selling us down the river. We now have to take a financial hit (spread over several years btw) in order to buy time to set up new, better, less restrictive trade agreements elsewhere.

That's great.
Then write down which countries that will be, what these countries should deliver and what the UK is able to deliver in return to these countries, except for tickets to visit the old castles.

Excuses, excuses. The bald fact is that many, if not most of the types of goods you are referring to are manufactured in the east and re-branded with western names. Have a look at the country of manufacture on the boxes of products the next time you are in a retail store.

Applause for this.
All products that have undergone a quality check will get a sales approval in the EU. The quantities are subject to a trade agreement. If that were not the case, China would swamp the UK with Marmite copies. Sorry, but you have no idea about international trade.
