Bored.

Brexit: Leave voter realises his fruit farm empire faces ruin without EU migrant workers

If EU labourers disappear 'I don't have a business. It's as simple as that,' says Harry Hall, whose company farms 1,100 acres

Brexit means Brexit.

Repatriate political and judicial power and have a democracy worthy of the name, or pay a bit more for strawberries? The perennial political dilemma.

Brexit means Brexit.

A recent observation from the city of Dundee.......

"Yer da is living in a bedsit, no contact with the kids and kicked out of family business. He's his own man now though, free of the nagging."

Has anyone looked at the positive impact Brexit is having on the violin miniturization industry yet?

It's straw man propaganda though isn't it. Immigration control doesn't mean Britain turns into fucking Helm's Deep. There will still be EU migrants whatever happens.

This will be the line from the hardcore Brexiteers for the next few years and beyond. When negotiations go bad it won't be because we're negotiating from a position of weakness, it'll be because the remainders aren't patriotic enough. Utter utter bollocks!!!

When I think of how bad Theresa May has been, I always wonder how much more of a fuck up it could have been with Andrea Leadsom. I can't decide whether the Conservative Party are in the midst of an absolute personality crisis or if anyone with an ounce of ability is staying the hell away because of Brexit.

Utter shitstorm.

 

[markwwfc1992]

Is it, really?

What has changed so much in the last year that has personally affected your life that you would describe the decision to leave the EU as an utter shitstorm?

One slight milestone reached - the UK has now given notice to withdraw from the London Fisheries convention, which previously allowed EU trawlers to fish in UK waters (~12 miles out in most places). Once withdrawn, legally speaking fishing vessels coming from EU berths will have to stay beyond UK waters. Although currently we aren't very well equipped to patrol/enforce this, so what will happen in reality we'll have to see. But this event marks the reason much of the UK fishing industry wanted to leave.

The fishing relationship between the UK and Ireland is further governed by a separate arrangement.

It's got nothing to do with the EU or Brexit though has it? That agreement was signed before we even joined the EU at the behest of NATO. Very weird folk are claiming this as a positive of Brexit.

It goes hand in hand with leaving the common fisheries policy, which is very much an EU institution. Leaving the common fisheries policy whilst still remaining part of the London convention wouldn't achieve anything of the UK fishing industry's aims for Brexit. It has much to do with Brexit.

Happily, even the SNP have backed the move, which is nice to be singing off the same hymn sheet for once.

If the Spanish Armada show up in our waters, presumably we'll chase them up the North Sea again?

I don't think their current fleet would be getting very far...

Dominic Cummings admitting that leaving the EU could be an error. Is that the sound of the other shoe dropping?

Can we just take a moment of silence to reflect on how fucking dreadful the Independent's quality has now become. You were once a good read. RIP.

I had to delete them on social media due to all the click bait crap.

Lots of funky economic data coming out today. I guess these gains really will be #longterm.

Long terms gains depend on how long it takes Labour to wrestle power.

Not too soon hopefully, I'm enjoying watching the Tories choke on their own blood.
