Sorry but I have to disagree. Its not their fault. its the fault of the likes of Johnson and Mogg and their billionaire backers who saw an opportunity to make billions more by employing Cummings to pull the wool over the sheeple's eyes. 

 

Forgive them Rookie for they know not what they do.

You had a remainer parliament and you still lost, take some responsibility for the remainers non actions, you don't buy a raffle ticket, you won't win that prize. But nice to know so many remainers are hurting.????????????

Who's hurting? We are now at the point where we just shake our heads and laugh as the Brexiteers try to justify their actions.

You guys won the raffle and first prize was a pig in a poke. ????

"Who hurting" I'll give you three guesses and only one clue......it's not the Brexiteers. 

Remainer parliament and you still lost, how embarrassing is that, we sure could not have done it without you. In fact don't take responsibility, take credit.????????

Yup no deal Brexit. The best recruiting agent Scottish independence could get and yet you think I'm hurting.

No. I'm laughing. Every time Johnson screws up. Every time Brexit gives us even more good news stories like this thread. Every time I read the bluff and bluster from Brexiteers about how everything is going to be a fantastic success. 

And how you all voted for a no deal Brexit in the first place. ????

No deal brexit wasn't on the table at the time of the referendum, but it's a pretty inevitable result of deciding to leave  the single market and customs union. 

 

Doing that left us without a good solution for Northern Ireland and created the current imapse. 

 

So now we get chaos that no one voted for because it's "the will of the people" and no one is prepared to  lose face and tell them they were lied to.

However, as of 31/01/20 UK job loses attributed to Brexit were more than 436k.

436,000job losses? Prove it! 

 

I hope you're not taking this number from the anti-brexit 'small business prices index', which counts things like jobs lost through Tory policy.  

 

If you're going to bandy these numbers around, let's see categoric proof from an unbiased source that Brexit has caused a net loss of more than 436k jobs.

I wouldn't have thought that a Gaelic confederation is likely anytime soon.

 

Even if it does come to pass, joining the EU will not then be an overnight job.

Simply because the British

1) did not formulate the referendum questions well enough

2) were massively leid upon by their politicians, especially Boris the Liar

3) did not use their brains to think over what all could happen

4) too many, especially youngsters, stayed away, too lazy to vote, and not clever enough to think about the consequences.

Who burns his bottom, must sit on the blisters.

A unification is a matter for the people of these potential con-federation members. I do not think, it will be easy. But the consequence of NOT doing so, is a EU-outer border somewhere, what many will not like. Aside of N Ireland , Scotland ( and Wales ?) being stuck with the English on the high waves, ruled by Britannia - Westminster..

It depends how it is counted. For example a can of carrot soup made in UK can be counted as British food.  However, the carrots may well have been imported. Depending on how it is counted, the share can vary between 50% and 80%.

 

Hey, I can read and it shows only 45% of the food supplied is imported. How does that looks that read 80% for you? I can count too - can you?
Not fact, but more Euro lies and propaganda. You don't

Third country in EU speak simply means a country that is not a member of the EU - we have left, so we are already a third country ! The slight of hand that is transition means that we've not been affected by it yet. Even countries like Norway and Switzerland  are third countries, but they have comprehensive agreements with the EU that mitigate the effects.

 

But these come at a price - normally accepting EU legislation without question  and Freedom of movement.

As basic principle of Brexit, that's a price that we are not prepared to pay. Maybe the EU is prepared to make the third country listing to enable it's continued trade with the UK, which could also be jeopardised?

The issue with the US chicken is quite simple, the U.K. will follow what the US determines are acceptable food standards. 

 

Just like the U.K. will not enact an online transaction tax because the US doesn’t want the U.K. to enact an online transaction tax.

 

Do as you are told by Uncle Sam and all will be well..... for Uncle Sam.

 

Don’t be surprisedhe , India got in first with its instructions to the U.K. to provide more visas for Indian nationals.

 

I’s say ‘get used to it’ though I’m not sure you’ll enjoy kowtowing to the Chinese when they start giving the U.K. orders.

 

Small nation with no friends - enjoy.

The issue with chicken is that is actually a non-issue. Not a problem at all.

The rest of it is all in your mind. Same as the delusions of the Remainers that we would have to follow all the diktats of the EU. Well that didn't happen either.

He only counts one side of the equation (the losses) . He doesn't count the jobs that replaced them, which when included in the equation actually shows unemployment decreasing by 1.1%. Yet he has the nerve to call Brexiteers stupid.????

Let's try this one more time.

 

The UK does not produce enough food to feed it's citizens, therefore most people's weekly shop is likely to include imported food (as is the case now). 

 

If there is no deal with the EU, we will trade with them and (most) other countries under WTO rules. The UK government has announced tariffs on foodstuffs and, under WTO rules, we are obliged to impose these tariffs 'across the board' unless we have a bi-lateral trade agreement in place.

 

Therefore, unless we can source all our food requirements from Japan, Switzerland, The Faroe Islands or the handful of other countries with whom we have trade agreements, the supermarket price for food produce will likely increase (because of the addition of these tariffs).

 

So, yes I had fully grasped that if I want EU food products on 1/1/21 it will likely cost me more. 

 

Is it clear enough to you now that if you want to eat most fruits in 2021, it's likely to cost you more no matter where it comes from?

No matter how many times you try to twist it, you are still barking up the wrong tree. Now we are out of the EU, and will be fully out by year end, we do not have to import all our good under the Common External Tariff. Goods will be cheaper, especially foodstuffs. The UK Global Tariff (UKGT) will replace the EU's Common External Tariff from 1st January 2021 and in almost every case is less than the EU takes from us. Note, that the tariff is not lost in the EU's grubby coffers either.

There are already trade agreements in place, more are being negotiated and more will be made as soon as the new year arrives.

Hey what about the other man of the people - Donald Trump. Oh how we laughed when he was elected too. Looks like we will be laughing again come November. The end of this year is looking much better now, Trump again and a No Deal transition end.

You are reasonable here :

 

not capitulating to all Barnier's demand.

 

I suppose the E.U. will consider Mr. Barnier's job as well done, if he not capitulate to all demands of Mr. Frost.

 

The purpose of negotiations.

I am sure there are some EU demands that will be conceded. There are plenty of people involved and must be thousands of items, so some may even be acceptable to both parties. Of course we never get to know what goes on in the negotiations, regardless of what some Remainers and Euros claim. 

The outrageous ones which obviously won't be capitulated to are our fish and the inappropriately named level playing field, including all that would come with it.

They can't all be sitting at the table saying "Non."

To me it sounds like Gove is simply warning companies to prepare, make sure paperwork is in order and make any necessary procedural changes. If companies ignore the advice there will be hold ups. Why anti-Brexiters have to be such drama queens over simple advisory announcements I'll never know. 

Of course, the Government has hired and trained up plenty of customs officials to check all this paperwork haven't they?
