who he you may ask? Wealthy man formerly of Kent who was taken to court by HMRC over his claim to be non-dom in 2014. He is the owner of Waterbrook Park which is where lorries are being stacked........so in the irony of ironies HMRC who took him to court for tax dodging are now his tenants and paying him £7m a year to use his land.

And in case you are wondering why the one at Sevington near Ashford still isn't ready for use..............

BBC says "The UK government has accused the EU of reneging on a previous commitment such exports could continue with a special certificate". If anyone accuses the Government of funding cuts, for balance they'll say "a government spokesman said you've had lots of money". So for balance, that should have, "The EU said that's nonsense, we kept telling the UK what being a third country meant."

Looks like ratification of the deal is off the EU parliament's list of things to do by the end of March because of our unilateral decision to extend the period before checks are required on goods going to NI. I can see it all falling apart and us ending up with No Deal which of course will be blamed on the EU. Should keep the ERG and the Express happy if no-one else (apart from AC who will be delighted).

and breaking international law........all in a days deceit, sorry work, for him


Yep, negotiate deal, hail deal as triumph, trash deal you negotiated two months later.

The Govt can’t admit the consequences of the deal they negotiated or even be honest about it. Instead they play games and provoke tension in NI.

Makes you wonder if it was No Deal they wanted all along but wanted to blame the EU, which is entirely plausible if the EU don't ratify.
 
And the least surprising news of the year so far...

UK-EU trade falls sharply as Brexit disruption starts to bite​

An item on the RTE news showed that the English shops in and around Brussels couldn’t get British produce so are now being supplied by SuperValu (an Irish supermarket chain) with similar Irish produce like thick cut bacon sausages etc.
Customers interviewed seemed to be pleased enough with what was on offer

yet its our suppliers and producers who are prospering mightily according to Johnson. Its all fantasy shit which for the moment to please the Ultra's and the elderly but it will all come home to roost soon enough.
This thing about pork exports suffering. My Mrs was in Great Ayton today - there are quite a few pork producers round here - and a local independent butchers there was banging out 10 nice big fat traditional pork chops for a fiver. Well it would be rude not to wouldn't it? So thats Sunday lunch and a few tea's sorted but at that rate I bet the pig producers are having to sell to market at near cost price - another sector fucked over.

Are there any sectors of the economy doing well out of Brexit? Any at all?

the govt had paid for a couple of ads from firms saying what a great idea it is ( published in the Heil and Torygraph of course ) though its simply pointed out that the firms in those ads were basically trading outside the EU and had been for years - in fact I think one or two don't even trade in the EU so they think its a good deal because nothing has changed for them anyway

Clonakilty pudding??
 
I suggested ages ago we should have a pro-Brexit and an anti-Brexit thread. We've got one, because the Brexiters have given up finding any Brexit good news.

Agreed. To be honest, I gave up posting Brexit bad news, too much of it and too easy. NI will be where it blows up, Govt can’t accept the consequences of the deal it agreed and this state of denial will end tears.
