Suggest you read the article again 'scottish tories claim snow is not doing enough'. I would not trust the scottish tories to give an unbiased opinion.

I have no idea what your posting about unless you trying to make a joke

Suggest you read the article again

Checks in Scotland are performed by Scottish Government agencies, and Jimmy Buchan of the Scottish Seafood Association said that a check that should take no more than one hour “is taking nearly five hours.”

He added: “The problem is definitely in Scotland, at the hubs prior to dispatch. It’s the one thing that we have continuously asked Government, are they ready? They kept asking us, were we ready? And we are ready, but it appears that Government are not.”

Maybe Scottish people should ask the rest of the world how it is done?

USA and Canada sell much seafood to the EU and Asia for decades. They can deliver fresh shellfish including lobster to EU  overnight. Maybe lady from SNP should concentrate on this and not  her dreams of a magical land where she can be princess.

Scotland does sell fresh seafood to other countries but give one good reason why they should have their nearest and largest customer taken away by Westminster.

I remember, it is what England wanted.

A downside to Brexit for the fishing industry. Who would have imagined that. Certainly not the Brexiteers who keep insisting everything is fine even though these articles tell otherwise.

 

Must be nice living with blinkers on just labeling news that you don't like as fake.

Could this simply be a case of the Tories getting in early with blaming others for the mess of their own disastrous, unwanted English Nationalist brexit?

 

Gove expects Brexit delays at the border with France and Ireland to worsen

 

 

Cabinet minister Michael Gove expects delays at the border between the UK and the European Union “to get worse before they get better”.

A high number of vehicles travelling from the UK to France have been refused entry or delayed due to paperwork issues after Brexit, logistics group DFDS said earier today.

More margin in selling to foreign restaurants rather than to hard-nosed UK supermarkets. Why don't you see langoustines for sale at Asda or Morrisons?

You will now......????.....Yummy....

Of course the Torries would lay the blame elsewhere. Don't you recall that there was a meeting where they said they should follow trump his false news strategy. Posting false news knowingly to discredit opponents.

The Brits have always moaned and groaned about factory ships stealing 'their fish', without building their own and doing the same.  Thank good ness that Boris didn't cave in to the demands of an industry that still lives in the 1800s

Back in the 60s/70s we used to get guys going round the pubs selling crab claws and prawns, maybe they will be back in business.

The education system in Scotland (thanks to the SNP) has fallen so low they seem incapable or unwilling to perform the basic of paperwork, another nail for Mrs Sturgeons coffin.

 

The SNP don’t seem to be lifting a finger. How can they plausibly claim that Food Standards Scotland have enough resources when industry experts are telling us that checks in Scotland are taking five times as long as they should?

“It’s a sad fact that the government in Edinburgh are crossing their fingers and hoping for failure so they can try to score political points, instead of doing their job and giving the Scottish fishing industry all the necessary resources.

“Funding provided to the SNP for Brexit preparations, alongside funding for business support in general, have gone unspent. The SNP are doing the bare minimum and it’s creating huge issues.

“Teething problems were always going to happen but the lack of preparation on the SNP’s part is a disgrace. Processors have taken every care to ensure all their paperwork is in order yet still they face unacceptable delays – delays the Scottish Government must tackle as a matter of urgency.”

We will all find out in May if there are nails in the coffin or not.

According to Bojo, winning an election is a mandate.

In 2055 I doubt very much if either of us here will be around to see it, Boris is still adament that 'it will be a once in a lifetime decision' "Scotland voted 'no' and they meant it"

But let's put it another way, if the EU are keeping a light on for liddle old Nicola, I am glad I'm not paying the electric bill.????????????

LOL, 3 quotes from Tory MP's blaming the SNP. No surprise there.

Because your average Brit doesn't want seafood.

I remember some years ago Lidl had lobsters at a reasonable price and nobody bought them, I bought one when they were reduced quite substantially but even then they weren't selling well.

That's probably because it was Lidl.

How the English want to stop a Scottish referendum ? By sending in the army, like Lord Kitchiners' ?

When Scotland form a (con)federation with Eire, ( and maybe also Ulster and Wales), just like Belgium is, they are in the EU in a second ( just like all French overseas territories are )

But, lets face it, the English have been so stupid over Brexit, it makes them an easy target...

 

BTW, by that I  mean not every English person, but the current government and their supporters - remember it was the English  voters not the other provinces that wanted the Conservatives.

With labour getting 22 seats and Boris 14, I hardly think Wales voted conservative either

14 is still 14 so Wales did vote for the  Conservative's in fact they gained 6 extra seats

The question rather should be, why does someone claim Wales people voted conservative, when they got 35% of the available seats, while labour got 55% of the seats
