Standards will be on the bonfire to enable cheap imports of low quality food as part of desperate trade deals. We will not be able to export our food to the EU because it will no longer be acceptable for many reasons. Some farmers voted for Brexit ?

that can happen. Without control and reasonable consumer protection laws, the pus bubbles are coming back into the sausage.

Tariffs are taxes, read income for the government, of which the US citizens will profit

OMG.

You joking right?

Or tell me who pay the extra taxes?

Alternatively if you were concerned about the price of bacon given as your example you could make your own. It is cheaper, tastier and YOU control what goes into it.

 

Much like Brexit in fact.

i think the uk will take over reasonably most of the eu laws in terms of food safety and animal husbandry.

the UK does not have its own specific laws in this regard.

Stupidity in traffic can be deadly.
Looks rather as the motorcyclist had an intended suicide wish. 

Let him go.
He can take a few photos of the bar staff and from other characters running around on Koh Tao there.
If there should be a recognition from a rapist face,
he should also take the DNA sequence of the T-shirt with him.
If that exists then.
Then a DNA reconciliation could be done locally in Koh Tao.
That would be a fine police work.

I took a long break from the Brexit debate.  It's nice to see the fear mongering is still going strong

The day after we leave will feel just the same. Businesses always find a way to carry on, and they will after Brexit.

 

 

on the manslaughter argument: Project fear we are already far over in the debate here.
ok, you have not been active for a long time.

what would be a realistic solution for this brexit thing then?

True, who cares what the public thinks?

I sometimes feeling the same.

unbelievable how far from reality the self-actors (politicians) act.
Let's just think what is the best for the UK.
for the young (various options) and for the old (safe pensions) there is full gambling (all in) on the black jack brexit playing table.

irresponsible.

Maybe that’s true for you, but certainly not for most Brexiteers. Most Brexiteers want something else or a lot more than what was voted for in 2016. They don’t want free movement of people, they don’t want EU regulation/laws, and so on. All that was never part of the referendum. The referendum only asked whether to leave the EU or not (and even that only as advisory), never were voters presented with specific terms. 

 

If all you want really is the “Parliament accepting what was voted for in 2016”, then you must be ok with, for example, the U.K. leaving the EU but entering into an agreement which allows it access to the single market including accepting free movement of people and services and being under EU regulation. I’m quite sure you would not be ok with that, and the same applies for many if not most other Brexiteers. So it’s really not about the referendum, which was advisory in nature and completely vague in contents; it really is (for most Brexiteers) about something that was never agreed. 

True.
The degree of future relations with the EU has never been defined and is still undefined. The unclear range spans from the canada model to the norway model, over a transitional period of x years, up to a new vote with remain in the eu. 

All other suggestions like may model, cherry picking or special solutions are fairytale castles in the air.

It is time that moves into uk politics again healthy realism.

But the taxpayer would like to know that there has been properly paid import tax.
At 90% import tax, that's 15 million Baht

In the clearest indication that Gen. PrawitWongsuwan will not submit the two dozen watches for examination by the National Anti-Corruption Commission, Prawit told reporters Monday he no longer had them.

So where are the watches now? The NACC should check the origin of the watches.

ups, i've just shared a jounalistic post with the title:
There is no prostitution in Thailand.

I hope the post is true and not fake.
Otherwise, I'm in deep sh$$$it.

Boris has a big mouthpiece. He likes to make a lot of noise. But when it comes to the realization, which is associated with a lot of work, effort and detailed knowledge, then he is a coward and likes to run away.

He is just propagandistic. He should better sell to old women at the front door, vacuum cleaners or magazines subscriptions.

In his darkened, senile frame of mind, trump does not realize that he has a problem when his own employees want to protect him from harm.

The problem with attentively deficient people is that they do not realize that they are over-reliant. in the course of ancient senility, these processes are repeated. 

In these patients, light and dark moments change from one second to the next. It is obvious that these mood swings do not go unnoticed by his co-workers either.

This disease makes trump really unfit as president. Trump himself can not realize it himself.

The deposition trumps would actually have to be done through medical certificates.

Come on grouse.
The article is project fear.
Everybody knows after march 2019 the paradise will open over the UK. Trade contracts will fall from the sky and everyone will swim in money.

I do not sell drugs and do not wash drug money. So your question goes contentwise past me. But that drug dealers, money launderers and murderers can buy here there freedom,  I think that is bad and has nothing left to do with the principle of justice.

Cleverly fished.
First served the small order and then ripped off with the big order.
Too greedy and too stupid.

Trump is most likely mentally ill. Symptoms of attention deficit disorder are associated with progressive senile dementia.

An extensive examination of his mental state is urgently required.

It would not be the first time that a nation has chosen a mentally ill leader.

Terrible thought that he has access to nuclear weapons.

Approval in the area that too much bureaucracy can be annoying. I have several companies myself and have worked for years in the largest founding center in germany and looked after over 600 start-ups.

But the legal requirements for small businesses are over 95% national law: tax office, business supervision, finance, health insurance, chamber of commerce, chamber of trade and food handling health department.

EU laws did not affect a single founding company in my decades of practice.

Indeed.

Unbelievable what idiotic law consciousness in his ill head is.

EEA/EU is already a heavily regulated place, in certain respects that is advantageous to the public, in most areas of everyday life I'd say it has been a massive headache for many and one reason the UK would be better off out. 

Can you perhaps give concrete examples for this? What exactly are the EU regulations that make you headache in your daily life?
