'News and facts' by tweet are particularly disingenuous and dramatic

Typical Daily Express...although it seems all Brexit supporters here deny reading it...

^ Who says Germans don't have a sense of humour...

One 41-year-old German man, who, along with his wife, received a copy of the letter at their London home on Friday morning, told the Independent:

“We were quite surprised. I’m sure pay and conditions for HGV drivers have improved, but ultimately I have decided to carry on in my role at an investment bank.


My wife has never driven anything larger than a Volvo, so she is also intending to decline the exciting opportunity.”

Ah, Brexit . . . what a success

The Headline is misleading in the London Economic , It should state £64m annual losses. However, it is correct in the text and the main point is many in the fishing industry voted for Brexit on an empty promise.

UK fishermen caught in Brexit net as industry faces £300m annual losses

Brexit wreaking haddock again.

UK fisheries are facing £300 million in losses, a report by the National Federation of Fisherman’s Organisations has revealed.

The group has criticised Boris Johnson’s trade deal since it was signed last year, saying he “sacrificed” the industry.

According to The Brexit Balance Sheet report, Britain’s fishing fleets will experience losses of £64 million or more every year, amounting to £300 million by 2026.

It comes after the government claimed the fishing industry will benefit from an extra £148 million by 2026 – but the report said the financial increase is most probably not going to be usable and is thus of little value.

Barrie Deas, chief executive of the National Federation of Fishermen’s Organisations said:

“From reviewing these findings, the NFFO’s conclusion is that there are very few winners and a great many losers.”

Twitter wasn’t short of reactions to the news.

There is Turkey panic buying...xmas is cancelled.....all good

^ Are you, by any chance, known locally as Scrooge?

To quote Boris:

"There will be a period of adjustment, but that is I think what we need to see,"

Brexit working . . .

Plenty of supplies out there now at the petrol stations and supermarkets, no need for concern

It gets worse


Disastrous season means UK shoppers could pay 50% more for pasta. Price of durum wheat up by 90% after drought devastates harvest in Canada, one of the biggest producers

So pasta will rise in price from 50p a pack to 75p!

How will we survive?

France threatens to cut UK and Jersey energy supply in fishing row

The EU could hit Britain and Jersey’s energy supply over the UK’s failure to provide sufficient fishing licences to French fishers, France’s EU affairs minister has said.


Clément Beaune, who is a close ally of the French president, Emmanuel Macron, said action would be decided on within days and discussions were already in motion.


France has been pushing the EU to take a stronger stance against the UK over its concerns that Boris Johnson’s government is acting in breach of its obligations over fishing access to Channel waters.


Last week a third of French boats applying to fish in Jersey’s waters were turned down by the island’s government. The previous week the UK government provided only 12 of 47 French vessels with permits for its coastal waters. The UK and Jersey authorities have said the vessels that had been turned down had failed to provide evidence of operating in the relevant waters.


Beaune said France “would not stand for it”. He said: “Enough already, we have an agreement negotiated by France, by Michel Barnier, and it should be applied 100%. It isn’t being. In the next few days – and I talked to my European counterparts on this subject yesterday – we will take measures at the European level or nationally to apply pressure on the United Kingdom.”


He added: “We defend our interests. We do it nicely, and diplomatically, but when that doesn’t work we take measures. The Channel Islands, the UK, are dependent on us for their energy supply. They think they can live on their own and badmouth Europe as well. And because it doesn’t work, they indulge in one-upmanship, and in an aggressive way.”


The UK is a net importer of energy from French nuclear power stations. Paris has previously suggested it could cut the supply to Jersey, whose energy it provides through undersea cables under a commercial contract between the French company EDF and the Jersey Electricity Company.


Under the post-Brexit trade and cooperation agreement struck on Christmas Eve, in case of a dispute with Jersey the EU can take unilateral measures “proportionate to the alleged failure by the respondent party and the economic and societal impact thereof”.


Unilateral measures affecting the energy supply to the rest of the UK would also theoretically be possible. But France would need to gain the consent of other member states and the action would need to be proportionate.


The trade and cooperation agreement also creates a link between continued EU access to British waters until 30 June 2026 and the UK’s access to the bloc’s electrical grid and gas network.


The energy part of the agreement allows the UK virtually unchanged access but that expires on the same date as the deal on access, raising the spectre that this could be used as leverage. The level of fishing quota will be decided by annual negotiations after 2026.


A commission spokesperson sought to play down the row, adding that officials in Brussels were in “constant contact with the UK authorities to ensure that all licence applications are dealt with as soon as possible”.


The spokesperson said: “We took note of last week’s announcements, but regret that with the number of licences granted it still has not been possible to bring this issue to an end now.


“The UK has published their methodology and we are now discussing the differences with the British and Jersey authorities regarding the rights of the boats involved. On our side we will continue to engage in the interest of our fishermen and women so that further licences will be provided.”

The navy should sink a couple of French fishing boats, they've taken the piss for far too long

I think its hilarious, the Germans are left coping with the petulant child

More chest beating from the TD apes...

Erm, i rather think its Micron doing the chest thumping Troy. I for one am hoping that France and the EU give it their best shot.
