    to be discredited by you and your ilk is an honour.

    the brexit trough that the uk now inhabits, exacerbated by the chinese bullet of covid, is, as i have predicted many times in this thread, merely a temporary blip and will with time, pass.

    the uk will come out of this stronger, independent, more skilled and richer. so long as (1) the increasingly awful socialists can be kept in their box and (2) the realisation that the implementation of green policies will quickly bankrupt both the people and the treasury if pursued too vigorously and before the technological advances have caught up with the dreams.

    let the eu or china be the experimental proving grounds for all the green eco nonsense that the uk crusties in their idiocy think is going to stop the ice from melting and the heatwaves to stop.

    and the tax-dodging naysayers that burnt their bridges and abandoned their homeland to enrich themselves in despotic states and third world whorehouses will rue the day they left once the funds run short and their hospital bills mount up.

    As for the rest of your clumsily expressed and spite-filled bilge...pure supposition.

    Socialists are completely irrelevant to the utter shit show going on in the UK.

    Meanwhile, tax is gobby and angry again.

    utter shit show going on in the UK.
    its not just the uk cyrille



    the uk, along with many other "developed" nations have been living in a dream for far too long now. 300 flavours of yoghurt in every supermarket, 50 yards of shampoo any aroma you can think of, with one tap on a screen you can have a new £2000 tv on your doorstep in 2 hours, every e mail you send devours enough energy to boil a kettle and on and on it goes. whatever you want , its there in a millisecond, mad consumption of what is mostly utter shite produced in china and bangladesh, often under conditions and with remuneration that would be considered unacceptable by the purchasers and render the operators liable to imprisonment in the west.

    a much needed dose of reality has now hit. we cant just click our fingers anymore and have the genie fulfil our wishes in an instant, and we will all be better off for it, brexit and covid will eventually turn out to be a blessing in disguise for labour markets and reboot the way we consume.

    so bring it on. want to stop the glaciers melting? nothing like a pandemic to focus the mind on what is important and what matters.

    Judging my the number of fat fuks i see waddling around, the country could do with a 5 year period of war rationing. Its getting worse now these lard buckets only have to waddle to the front door to pick up their fix of American cuisine brought to them by Deliveroo with 3 taps on the smart phone.

    want to know why the nhs is creaking to a halt, just look at all the self entitled fat fucks sitting around in a and e, waiting for their knees to be operated on, their diabetes to be cured, filling up the waiting lists along with those suffering from the latest disability to top the charts ... mental health issues!!

    what used to be considered normal everyday anxiety, a part of life, has now become a mental health issue, needing the attention of a health professional, fuelled by the media of course and enabling poor lard arse tracy worrying why her deliveroo pizza is 30 minutes late to claim to be suffering from a mental health issue. fucking snowflakes.

    Nope . . . I guess this needs to be pointed out each time a transgression occurs . . . and the whole idea of an open forum can be ditched

    No mention of educating the over officious EU civil servants on applications of rules

    What is the ‘new model’ the EU is proposing for Northern Ireland?

    ‘Bespoke Northern Ireland-specific solution’ includes potential new rules on food, plants and medicines

    The EU’s latest proposals, described as “a new model” for Northern Ireland, are a significant concession from Brussels. Having ruled out renegotiation of the protocol in July, the EU is proposing a “bespoke Northern Ireland-specific solution”.

    Sausages
    A new certificate scheme would mean that certain products that are generally prohibited for import into the EU, such as British sausages, would now be allowed to be imported. The EU would retain the right, however, to impose a ban if there is any suggestion these products are entering the wider single market.

    Maroš Šefčovič, the EU’s Brexit commissioner, said the proposals for Northern Ireland were not presented on a ‘take it or leave it’ basis.

    Plants, meat and dairy
    Checks would be reduced by 80% on a large range of supermarket product lines, through reinforced monitoring of supply chains and the use of specific packaging and labelling indicating that the goods are for sale only in the UK. In return the EU wants the UK to deliver on its commitment to complete the construction of permanent border control posts at Northern Irish ports for incoming trade from Great Britain.

    Haulage
    A type of haulage known as groupage, where goods from different companies for different customers are grouped together on one lorry, has experienced significant disruption. In groupage haulage, a truck can pick up goods from several warehouses with loads moving from one lorry to another. Each time, the seals have to be broken and goods recertified in a complex, time-consuming and error-prone process. The EU has proposed that such trucks transporting different food products, such as dairy, meat, fish, confectionary, fruit and vegetables, from Great Britain to Northern Ireland would just need one certificate stating that all goods of different types, class or description meet the requirements of EU legislation.

    Customs
    The EU is proposing to cut customs paperwork by half. The scope of an existing scheme waiving customs controls on “goods not at risk” of entering the single market would be expanded to more small and medium-sized enterprises. A car dealer ordering car parts would only need to provide basic information such as the invoice value of the parts and the parties to the transaction for customs clearance purposes. But the EU would demand in return a commitment from the UK to provide full and real-time access to IT systems.

    Medicines
    In response to threats to affordability and availability of generic medicines in Northern Ireland, the EU would waive a requirement that medical manufacturers move out of Great Britain into Northern Ireland. Companies supplying the Northern Irish market could continue to have their supply “hub” in Great Britain, a privilege not usually afforded to countries outside the EU single market.

    Governance
    There is no suggestion that the European court of justice will lose its role as the arbiter of EU law in Northern Ireland. But following criticism that the protocol is “undemocratic”, the Northern Ireland assembly, civil society groups and businesses would be invited to take part in “structured dialogues” with the European Commission on implementing the hundreds of EU laws that apply in the region, although they would not have any decision-making power.

    ^ Anyway. This "amendment" was entirely predictable, the EU's MO. Next will be the ECJ.
