Brexit bonus? Was the EU stopping the shellfish in question from growing or being harvested? I'll guess the answer is no.

So we have a (debatably) new product that could have been sold far more easily, cheaply to a much larger market if we hadn't left. These giggling fools are truly embarrassing.

Hang on, shouldn't they check to make sure these aren't foreign shellfish invading by the backdoor?
 
You can never be surprised by the total idiocy of Brexit.

The Prime Minister and Home Secretary actually visit Saaffeend to view the site of where the clams have been found, which can't be sold or eaten.

Brexit bonus. Desperation knows no bounds.

There is no coincidence that this happens at the same time as the UK's membership of the EU. Bet you can't counter that Paul.

Sunak says, in protecting international shipping, the UK is upholding international law. (Ho Ho Ho!)

The Houthis’ attacks on international shipping have put innocent lives at risk, he says. They have held one crew hostage for almost two months and they are causing growing economic disruption. Global commerce cannot operate under such conditions. Containers and tankers are having to take a 5,000-mile detour around the Cape of Good Hope.

This is pushing up prices, and reducing consumers’ access to vital goods, he says.

And he says people should not accept the “malign narrative” that this is about Israel and Gaza. It isn’t, he says; it is about protecting shipping.


See Sunak and Shapps sh!tting themselves about focussing on trade on the other side of the world. Could be a few awkward questions as to why .

Although obviously they haven't seen a satellite map of what the ships are actually doing and that it won't make any difference to their new trade deals as a) they're worthless and b) the CPTPP doesn't come into effect until after the GE at the end of the year.

All far right politicians want to cause as much disruption as possible throughout the world in all countries.
Sadly the UK fell for it because they were lied to and so badly informed. (And they have more than their fair share of gullible and stupid people).

https://www.euractiv.com/section/po...germans-including-far-right-back-the-eu-poll/

EU membership is strongly supported by an overwhelming 87% of Germans, with most far-right voters also in favour of remaining in the bloc, according to a new poll published on Thursday (Nov 2023).

Brexit trade checks will cost £330m a year. Starmer must revisit this disastrous deal
by Simon Jenkins

The price of the Tories’ new border regime beggars belief. In a cost of living crisis, it’s a bill we can’t afford

While sheer exhaustion might postpone the question of the UK returning to the EU, that need not apply to the customs unions and treaties that form Europe’s economic area.

This moron, Jenkins, was a pro-Brexiteer.

It beggars belief how moronic these people are. He doesn't understand what he's voted for, he still thinks there's some kind of menu that can be picked from. He still thinks Brexit can be renegotiated .He doesn't understand what a Customs Union is and means. He doesn't want all the inconvenience and costs that he promoted. This is what you wanted.

:lol:I googled Simon Jenkins worst columnist and these were in the top three. They're from 2012 and 2013, so seems he's long been regarded as dreadful.
I was trying to find a compilation of worst hits I remember- the guy is wrong on everything.

Hmm, somebody pays him for trotting out rubbish.

His colleague on the Guardian, Larry Elliott, another Brexiter, was apparently in the year above me at my school but I don't remember him. he's a tw@t as well.

Tourists heading to Europe could face 14-hour queues at Dover from October
New EU entry-exit system could lead to gridlocked roads if scheme goes ahead as planned, MPs hear

So the implementation of this scheme has been known for years. the Uk were even part of the original plans for the scheme way back when , but MPs have only just become aware ?

The chair of the committee, Sir Bill Cash, total moron and Brexiter who had no idea what he voted for, said: “Queues of more than 14 hours, vehicles backed up along major roads, businesses starved of footfall: this evidence paints an alarming picture of the possible risks surrounding the entry-exit system’s implementation.

Probably but shouldn't this be done in the EU, the UK isn't implementing the ESTA style visa is it?

I'm also guessing they're using computers with Window's 3.11 :D

No the UK had the brilliant idea of not accepting ID cards, which if you mention ID cards, you turn into a pillar of salt.

It's the volume of traffic that's going to be the problem. They can't enter the EU until their data is in the system. Every 3 years.
Why should they complain, it's what they wanted, control of borders and they knew it was coming.
Will only take a few minutes to do per person.
Coachload of drunken holidaymakers should be hilarious.

Isn't that what a passport is for?

Seems to me the issue is on the EU side not the UK side, the UK hasn't changed anything has it?

I've waited for over 6 hours at the Ambassador Bridge (Detroit-Windsor) multiple times. (Might not be as bad now, haven't been in a while, but it was bad in the naughties)

The UK stopped accepting ID cards . Most EU citizens do not possess one because they don't need one unless they travel outside the EU/Schengen. They are generally free and have all your information on them including fingerprints etc rather than pay around €100 for each member of the family for a passport.

Anyway all that did was reduce tourism and deliveries to the UK but is not directly connected to the further delays at Dover after this system has been introduced.
So the EU have long set about setting up a system, which the UK were part of developping, which monitors all the details of the person entering the EU/Schengen, criminal records, how long their stay has been etc, where they are staying etc. Of course, before Brexit, UK citizens had freedom of movement in the EU which they voted against and instead voted for this.

So to get into the system they have put all their details online first to get the visa which costs €7 I believe and then be photographed and fingerprinted at the point of entry in the EU.
There are many illegal British immigrants in the EU, who on the whole have overstayed the 90 days/180 days , some by years.

In most places the system will be manageable , at airports etc, but at bottlenecks like Dover it will be difficult, to say the least. The queues will be on the UK side, not so on the EU side, and thus is a major problem for the UK - which they voted for. So many things the electorate voted for without realising it.

31st January sees inspection of goods coming from the EU which has already been delayed numerous times. More cost and paperwork for the UK.

2024 will see more things to come and will be the start of the turning point where they finally realise the huge mistake they made. So far it's been "Well the sky hasn't fallen in - yet"
