    Wow, the impact must have been felt across the nation.

    There are many small companies in trouble and prolly some bigger companies picking up their export, still there are in this case three people who have to find another job. One can just hope that they voted for Brexit.

    look s.a., you can sit there chained to that unsaleable millstone you call a condo and spend all the time in the world poring through the guardian and any other left wing arsewipe rag you can find on the internet in order to dig out those little snippets that confirm your hateful prejudices about brexit and the uk, but the fact is that in a couple of years the uk will have adjusted to these not unexpected teething troubles (mostly imposed on us by customs officials in the eu who are following instructions from brussels to make life as difficult as possible for trade ) and will be doing just fine.

    as i have said many times, its a long game and necessity is the mother of invention and the uk will do just fine, much to your disappointment of course, but that's no more than can be expected from a self loathing quisling who scurries off to apply for his eu passport at the first sign of trouble.

    you can gloat and post foul mouthed hyperbole infused diatribes all you want, but highlighting a small time fisherman about to retire anyway who has closed down his "company" and laid off 3 people, one of whom is his wife, after being unable to cope with some increase in paperwork is plain silly.

    what any sensible small time fisherman would do when faced with exporting difficulty and what many are doing now is selling locally.

    there is a ready market for his produce on his doorstep so why doesnt this 58 year old fisherman take advantage of it?

    That may be your wish but it is far from being a fact.

    cyrille is a tefler. an employee. a wage earner. an underling.

    such types, those who don't take risks, who don't invest their own money or energy in a business venture, those happy to be told what to do and those with no appetite for responsibility have no understanding of the business world and are invariably socialists, imagining any businessman to be no more than a money hungry exploiter and deserving only of failure.

    Sometimes, because of people like you with your microbe-like intellect I really do think the human species are an experiment run by a superior race and planet Earth is but a Petri dish colonised by a mould of which you are probably a rather common bacilli.

    I watched a documentary on the British crab and lobster industry recently who's biggest export market is China.

    Covid is the problem , not Brexit you remaining oafs.

    They actually get a better price selling locally.

    Google Rick Stein and Padstow in Cornwall as a prime example of crab and lobster fishermen thriving after Brexit .

    Why would googling the name of a tv chef and the place where he lives and works tell one how fishermen were doing, you raging fucking moron?

    So, paste up a story about how fisherman in Cornwall are 'thriving after BREXIT', which you reached by googling 'Rick Stein' + 'Padstow', you dumb fucking nutbar.

    On second thoughts, post up a link showing how fishermen in Cornwall are 'thriving after BREXIT' by googling anything you like.

    (Though I suggest 'Cornwall' 'Fishermen' and 'Brexit' as a better starting point than 'Rick Stein')

    Andy Trust said he, alongside much of the the fishing industry, shot himself in the foot by voting for Brexit.

    “And they had a big red bus which said they’d fund the NHS, that sounded good."


    You're one dumb assed mofo Andy, and no mistake.

    Never, ever trust a tory to tell you the truth.

    I will later when I get time you pedantic, cockwomble with your princess gimp and knob jockey extroadanaire.

    My point is the fishermen are adapting their business and selling locally for a higher price.

    Key word being business , something of which you have limited knowledge and are unable to post any links supporting the contrary.

    Joe... I like you, your food's well dodgy but you seem like a nice guy.

    I usually stay away from political stuff here... but do you know a single person better off after Brexit? For me personally it's been a disaster. There must be people better off out there, but for sure I've never met a single one of 'em.

    Oh, do tell the forum about your lengthy experience of 'business'.

    Does it include knowledge of how restaurants are 'thriving' while increasing their prices and not being able to open to customers, customer who are dying off anyway because Cornwall is packed with retirees?

    My god, you don't half talk some nonsense.

    I think this is the second time he's asked, Joe, and very politely both times.

    I'm sure it'll all be cleared up, when you 'get time'.

    Not every fisherman can run a restaurant chain where they can sell their lobsters for a good profit.

    78% of the UK's catch is exportd to the EU, over 330,000 tons, and of that the shellfish harvest is almost 100% dependent on the EU market.

    Shitty, you are a fucking moron, an ignoramus piece worker employed short time on the road to nowhere in the twillight of a futile existence soon to end in ignominy.

    I rather think the crazy street loon who bags our street bins while giggling to herself has more intelligence than you.

    Brexit is an economic failure but the lower end, of which you seem to be a leading light, are incapable of recognising this.

    You are stupid, an idiot, bereft of intelligence and as perspicacious as a blind imbecile living in a hole deep in the Black Forest on a moonless night in midwinter.

    So sounds like more widening of the brim of the hat.

    Since 1 January only ready to eat shellfish accompanied by an export health certificate (EHC) can be sent to the EU.

    This is due to change in April, but Defra said it was working to allow all shellfish exports sooner.

    The only microbes you know are the ones infesting the "cerulean seas" of that shithole you live in.

    SME's encompass businesses up to 250 employees, etc. etc.

    A fucking idiot working out of a shed with three employees is a "micro-business". They come and go. And come again. In April.
