    the EU regulations is indeed becoming a burden, but you can only blame this on the need for extension when we "imported" the Eastern Bloc, thanks to the frigging British traitors

    before it was called harmonisation between the prime states, after importing shit from shit holes, it was all about "framework" and "regulations"

    basically, integrating the Eastern Bloc has forced the EU to become the bureaucratic nightmare of those Eastern Bloc countries, basically importing their bureaucratic shit

    it's really no different from West Germany integrating with East Germany, and it was very costly and painful for Germany to do so. We are at that stage now, and Brexit is the first victim of that integration non-sense

    i was under the impression that the seasons were a natural phenomenon, strawberries annd tomatoes in december to satisfy the needs of spoilt northern european consumers benefit no one on the planet except the euro subsidised millionaire farmers who organise the slave labour to grow and to harvest them and the landowners that rent their land to the slavemasters you fucking idiot.
    Oh dear, Tax, I rather think your incipient dementia is now advancing to the next stage when that amyloid plaque sticks increasingly to those dwindling nerve cells.

    You silly bathchair warrior, as long as you follow the service regime and use approved parts and consumables the manufacturer must by law honour the warranty even if the service programme has not been completed by their franchised dealers.

    And you are meant to be a fucking car expert !!!! Fucking expert at blowing your own horn and gibbering, more like.

    Seasons are a natural phenomenon, of course Tax, but living in winter like some toothless, fat-bellied, old , cloth-capped, whippet fucking, northern tyke rotting away in Bolloxscarsdale, shagging a geriatric sow whilst subsisting on cured tripe pie in an onion fritter because there is fuck all else in the shops, ain't.

    We civilised folk are accustomed to taking our peregrinations around the miscellaneous emporia sourcing the widest range of nature's bounty in meeting one's eclectic needs irrespective of the fact it might be fucking January.

    Even the lower end dross in fucking Crewe are partial to the odd melon in December and choice of lettuce and tomatoes etc.

    Tax, you are in danger of becoming a caricature of the typical northern whippet fancier, a walking parody of smug, sanctimonious, lower middle class piety, the personification of Yorkshire cliche right down to the calcifid obduracy off a trapped gallstone.

    Take your head out of Gladys Spagglethorpe's nethers and get a grip man.

    Christ change the record, the UK does not hold over 50% of EU voting rights so how were we solely responsible. You Frenchies are not happy because they make your lazy farmers and union franchised workforce look lazy - suck it up cupcake

    purchasing a melon wrapped in plastic and flown from almeira to the uk on a filth spewing jet after being harvested by some emaciated libyan slave in order to line the pockets of the greasy dago farm landlords and taskmasters living it large on eu subsidies might be ok for you and all the other unthinking self satisfied consumers with their heads up their arseholes who give not a thought as to how their food is produced, but for some folk, i.e. those with a moral compass and who have more than a clue as to the meaning of human rights and sustainability, the eu, corrupt and hypocritical as it is, is an institution not fit for purpose and the sooner we are out, the better.

    i looked at a tub of yoghurt the other day. milk sourced from three countries, the plastic pot sourced from another, and the whole shebang put together in a fifth location and then trucked and flown around europe.

    i would rather buy my yoghurt from the farm up the road, the one where i get my free range eggs from, if only the eu would allow me to. but no. i have to go to sainsburys and buy a tub of yoghurt that has circumnavigated the globe three times before it reaches my refrigerator.

    madness.


    supply chains my arse. retrench and source locally. fuck the eu.









    by the way, you were correct about the car servicing. its the block exemption regulations

    the frigging Brits have been lobbying member states to include the soviet bloc as a way for Americans to buy them through NATO

    stop blaming French farmers who are feeding your sorry ass, since you have no farmers left, and they only grew crap and overpriced vegetables anyhow

    and let's not forget mad cow, a prime example of 'mediocre' English farming at work

    Tax, dear boy, you want local yoghurt:

    Woodlands
    Duchy Original,
    Twekkelo,
    Little Melton,
    River Cottage,
    The Little Collective,
    Court Lodge,
    Brown Cow,

    There are many others if you care to look. But then, you are a Brexiteer, which means you are blinkered, myopic and plainly not a little, well, stupid, eh?

    I have enlarged your apology lest it was missed by the other morons.

    The thing is, as Einstein said, only stupidity is truly infinite.

    I'm sorry but that is not going to happen. There is no way that is going to happen. Food WILL be more expensive and even the most brexit of brexiteers has accepted that food of the same quality will not be cheaper. You are living in fantasyland if you think it will be.

    And how do you come to that conclusion? We are not going to put tariffs on food and drink from the EU so no difference in price there yet we will have the ability to reduce or scrap tariffs from outside of the EU. Then EU producers selling to us no longer in the protectionist customs union racket will have to compete for our business on equal terms with non EU producers.

    ^ food will be less quality at higher prices and the markets will blame brexit whilst milking the consumer. That's the way of life for the UK outside the EU.

    The reduced income tax in the UK is also a false economy. Tax is added to products without being explicitly labelled (as in for eg USA). You are paying more for everything in the UK compared to the majority of the EU whilst thinking you are better off because you pay less income tax. It makes the poor worse off in comparison, not better off, just looks good on the surface...

    Boris has the charisma to be be PM though and is the only one that can pull off Brexit successfully whatever the path he ultimately takes. It isn't going to be easy for him though: following no-deal could cost him a no-confidence in parliament and not following it could cost him the Tory membership. In the end he's going to have to take a deal that keeps the UK in the EU whilst maintaining the front of insisting the UK has actually left. No doubt, making quips and avoidance of direct questions will be the order of the day, something the Maybot failed miserably at.

    Your post makes no sense, have you had a few tonight? I've clearly explained to you how food will not be more expensive if we Brexit and in all likelihood will be cheaper. As to quality we are talking about mass produced crap from the EU that is the same as mass produced crap from elsewhere. We are self sufficient on meat and fish, it's just fruit, veggies, herbs and spices that we are basically forced to pay EU prices for due to the quotas on imported non EU produce. Same goes for wine although personally I actually have no issue with food and drink prices in the UK. I mean I pay £2 a pint in my local for Carling or John Smith's less than 80 baht and SeekingAss is probably paying more than that for a small bottle of Heineken in local soi6 haunts.

    s.a.

    firstly, i dont recall apologising, and secondly, as you will have gleaned from my postings i am a man who upon realising i have made an error, will unashamedly and immediately admit to that error and move on.

    now compare that to your modus operandi when confronted with your mistakes, miscalculations and misjudgements, honed to perfection no doubt during your years as a civil servant sugar coating and peddling government lies, of resorting to obfuscation, deflection, denial, abuse and obscenity delivered at 100 decibels and garnished with hostility, hyperbole and hate.

    and therein lies the differences between the true professional maintaining his integrity and a mere white collar man whose only objective is point scoring and protecting his pitch.

    carry on.

    Ahh, the " I was wrong but an admission confers some assumed weight to my other statements/assertions/gibbering nonsense because I'm a straight up sort of guy" ploy.

    Look, sport, you are stuck in the trenches of imbecility, marooned in a war which has but one outcome and your only allies are idiots, nincompoops, lumpen louts, the deluded and the small-minded. By all means jam that tin helmet of defensive posturing on your ageing head but please do not think for one moment your absurd blatherings carry any gravitas.

    Tax, you are on the wrong side of history defending an untenable position, accept that you have been a fool, apologise for your silliness and give it up. Surely when you look at the meagre intellect of those with whom you are allied in this battle must tell you something?

    Incidentally, I note that you have chosen to overlook entirely your other "error" i.e. your mistaken belief membership of the EU somehow contrives a paucity of indigenous production of fermented lactic products adjacent to your tyke home in Dribblethorpe.

    Perhaps you missed that in your somewhat ill-judged vituperative and splenetic ranting reply?

    As is manifestly obvious to all, my forecast that the UK would suffer economically as a result of the Brexit stupidity has come true - sterling has collapsed, FDI has fallen, there has been a capital flight, manufacturing has contracted, GDP growth has stalled, inflation has trebled and car manufacturing is crippled.

    The thing is, old bean, I am in a majority of one, and I know I am right.

    I omitted to mention but it seems Brexit is yet again proving its worth, th £ fell to $1.24 yesterday and is now 38.30 baht.

    My forecast of $1.10, £=.95 cents euro and 32-33 baht is looking more accurate by the week. Hard Brexit and BoJo as PM will be one helluva killer punch.

    Inflation of 5% almost certain in that event but it seems it will peak after September's CPI marker that fixes increase for 2020/21 pensions.

    Not looking good at all.

    That’s ok because everyone else knows you a silly old, belligerent duffer of zero substance. You are the one who is suffering now, and will no doubt continue to suffer, even when your one eyed predictions fail to materialize.

    I have reported your spineless personal comments on the JPR thread, you pointless buffoon.

    I. Having a great day thanks. Two weeks of detox with no alcohol, so I might celebrate tomorrow.

    Not surprised SA can’t remember his gaffe on the JPR thread. Had to be drunk to post such vile and insensitive comments on a serious thread.
