Political relations between UK-EU

[Bodicoteblue]

Difficult for blobby and frosty the nomarks.
Very easy to point accusing fingers at the EU and accuse them of punishing us for brexit through their rigid application of the protocol ( or ‘keeping your word’, as I think of it) but so many brexiters were convinced that a trade deal with the USA was the ultimate prize of brexit and now that’s going down the proverbial pan, who to blame now, since it’s not the French or Germans?

And still no replacement butchers. "Why would I come back to the UK to help out when they'll throw me out when I'm not needed?"


Government support schemes have failed to tackle the crisis on British pig farms, according to sector leaders and processors.

The government introduced three support schemes in October:

• Private Storage Aids (PSA) – an incentive to store pigmeat to reduce supply and bolster prices
• Slaughter Incentive Payment Scheme (Sips) – to increase the throughput of pigs by contributing towards extra costs involved in operating additional slaughter shifts at abattoirs
• Temporary visas for butchers – to encourage overseas workers and reduce the labour shortage to boost throughput.

But according to National Pig Association (NPA) chief executive Zoe Davies, all three schemes have failed to make any difference at all.

Dr Davies said that, although the intention was good, the introduction in the run-up to Christmas was not thought through.

To date there is nothing in storage with just one processor application to the PSA actually placed, she said.

“Processors are unwilling to switch pigmeat into storage when they are flat out trying to hit demand for the Christmas market,” she said.

“It would be too big a gamble to store pigmeat on the basis that prices will be better when it comes back onto the market.”

Concise summation of virtually everything this so-called government does.
Substitute ‘pig farmers’ for ’lorry drivers’, ‘fruit and veg pickers’, ‘care assistants’, ‘factory workers’, you name it, the same useless incompetent lying garbage applies.

And for every broken promise reported on funding, the BBC always quotes "the government says" with no attempt to fact check.

Telegraph having a mini melt as the EU slowly tightens the screw on the City...

"The EU is trying to run before it can walk. The world cannot stand by and allow it to do so, discarding the risks of its half-built currency system on to everyone else"

The EU’s reckless raid on the City is a danger to the world

EU wish to restrict the discounting of eurozone debt by clearing houses would present extreme risk

He was only part of the grand plan of getting a good deal by pretending we had to threaten to leave without a deal and the polictical will to do it.
