Thread: Brexit - It's Still On!

thanks to china, covid and layer upon layer of stifling restrictive regulations the whole of the west is suffering economically, brexit has little to do with it.

your brexit obsession seems to have taken control of your very being as you continually hark back to those comical end of pier predictions you made 7 years about the end of the uk, predictions that have yet to materialise.

fine and dandy after a year or two.

it's true that the uk has been slow to take advantage of the many benefits of brexit. civil service lethargy, "banjaxery and sheer bloody mindedness combined with risible legal challenges and a europhile media vehemently opposed to the democratic will of the population are largely responsible for the hiatus, but i still stand by my prediction of "a long game" before the uk rises successfully to the challenges it faces.

meanwhile i read that there has been an alarming contraction in the industrial output of the eus engine room, germany, thanks to unfair competition and dirty tricks from chinas motor industry and their stranglehold on battery tech and the raw materials used. the chinese certainly know all about the long game.

Tax, you are merely echoing the vacuous rhetoric of Frost and the other nutters in wittering on about the “ many benefits “ of Brexit. There is none. That streak of paralysed piss Mogg was charged with running a department whose sole function under the clown BoJo was to publicise those mysterious benefits. And what did he come up with? Da nada. Zilch. Sweet fuck all. Ne rien. Zero.
Oh, of course it’s not the fault of the Brexit machinery in lying to the people, it’s not the fault of tenth rate politicians selling snake oil to the stupid, it’s not the fault of three successive Brexitory governments united in a chronic inability to manage a fucking village fete but it’s the fault of a bunch of civil servants working clandestinely in a conspiracy to corral those fucking Brexit unicorns from prancing around the sunny uplands that has sabotaged Brexit.
You silly old gammon, Tax, you’ve been sniffing too much of your stash of nitrous oxide, you gormless northern right wing old tart.
There’s no benefit to Brexit, none. It’s been three fucking years since the disaster and four years of planning before it and still nothing but misery, loss and ruination.
The EU is a functioning association of coherent governments continually working towards mutual benefit and prosperity within a stable framework the envy of the world. Engerlandia is a busted flush, a laughing stock isolated in its cocoon of parochial delusion mired in economic decline, stagflation, low productivity, and low pay, a diminished power stumbling around in the wings of world events doomed to be ignored as the US combine with the EU in aligning themselves against the Russo-Sino bloc.
You English are fucked, Tax, eat it up.
You can’t s@y you weren’t told, you silly old northern tyke.

Clearly it does or you wouldn't be as involved in this thread . . . but whether or not it 'doesn't bother' you is irrelevant to economic issues, or haven't you yet caught on what this thread is about?

Another BREXIT balls up...

Blow to UK salmon industry as trial post-Brexit export scheme halted | Brexit | The Guardian

The digitisation of the paper health certificates required for all fish and chilled food being exported to Europe was intended to save traders time and up to £3m on post-Brexit paperwork.

But the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has told those companies involved in a pilot scheme, which has been in place since September 2021, that the scheme will end. It has not mentioned any replacement. “Whilst moving to a fully digital service for export health certificates remains our ambition, we are planning to bring the current exercise to a close,” an official wrote to them.

The industry saw electronic certification as a welcome means of reducing the paperwork for exports, needed since Brexit. Truckloads of chilled fish are required to go through third-country controls in Boulogne-sur-Mer, France, which is the main centre for processing fresh fish for sale to supermarkets and restaurants.

It was hoped that the new electronic certification system could be introduced in the UK and then in other ports across Europe, including in Ireland, the Netherlands and Scandinavia.

Tavish Scott, the chief executive of Salmon Scotland, said: “We have been informed of a further delay to the introduction of an end-to-end digitised export paperwork system, which leaves salmon companies with ongoing red tape costs which have already been racking up for more than two and a half years.”

The organisation is urging the government to act quickly, given the impact of the extra paperwork and potential delays on perishable foods. It says the salmon industry is worth £760m to the economy but other sectors selling chilled food, including poultry and cheese producers, could have also benefited from the digital certification.

The delays to the digitisation project come just days after it emerged the government was going to delay, for the fifth time, the first phase of paperwork required for EU fresh food producers that export to the UK.

The UK also recently delayed indefinitely the plans to introduce an alternative to the CE safety label with its own UKCA logo in another Brexit climbdown.

While British farm food products have been subjected to public health checks and controls since 2021 in Calais and elsewhere, their EU counterparts have in effect had a free pass, with the equivalent checks in the UK now not being introduced until next year.

The industry fears that online certification will not be in place until at least three years following Brexit coming into force in January 2021. “Even if it is their ‘ambition’ to do something in future, we’re not convinced it will happen this side of the next general election,” said one industry insider.

Scott said: “Farm-raised salmon is the UK’s largest food export, and we need governments to reduce the burden on our sector so that we can grow sustainably, produce more nutritious food, create highly skilled jobs, and boost the Scottish and UK economies.”
He said his members were disappointed with the length of time it was taking to develop the online system and were ready to volunteer to help the government test any new systems it was developing.

A Defra spokesperson said the government was not abandoning the digitisation project. “As has always been the case, the first pilot is ending with the intention of moving into a second phase of delivering fully digitised certification for exports.

“We will begin to test this new and improved service from early 2024, and will draw upon the feedback and insights learnt in the pilots. This will provide the capacity to send digital certificates to the European Union and further afield, delivering more than the original testing programme.”

It'd be laughable were it not so pathetic.

Anyway - Grimsby . . . one of thousands of examples. 70% wanted out? ok - they got their wish . . . now they're suffering the consequences like the retarded inbreds they are





So, previously Iceland sent fish to the UK to be re-exported to the rest of Europe . . . nice little/big earner for the soap-dodgers.

Vote for Brexit which cut this out and Iceland exports directly to the EU. Wouldn't take a genius or even Backspit to figure that out.

Christ on a fucking bike, I started this thread in 2017 and there was one even earlier.

I can't believe there still people fucking moaning about it.

Dunno how thick you'd have to be to not see that the dire consequences of BREXIT will take decades to recover from. And that thus it is worth noting them.

But it's definitely 'BREXITer level' thick.

Your moaning is others' discussion . . . unless you're saying that topics have a certain lifespan designated by you?

yup . . . and they're still whining about the EU/von der Leyen/Brussels/France/Fish/Germany/Retirees(pensioners but too ignorant/arrogant to say so) in Spain etc...

Well there are a few obsessive nut jobs on the forum

People mocked the Americans for their idiocy in electing the fat orange rapist Trump but at least the Seppos realised their stupidity and did something about it.
The 17.6 million, all bar a million or so of whom were English, who voted for the calamity that was Brexit are sadly a different animal to the Seppos and seem to think that their foolishness will recede in time and the continuing economic and social ills will no longer impinge upon their diminished intellect.

Almost Somchai thick, really.

Both the OBR and most sentient economic institutions have said Brexit has cost the UK between £60 billions and £100 billions in lost growth, revenue and trade annually, a loss that will continue for at least another decade with no global trade likely to compensate for the loss of unfettered trade with the EU.

Never mind the cultural losses of: an entire generation of children denied the opportunity of learning, living and working in 27 EU countries as equals with the indigenous populations, and the impediment to creative and scientific development, and the transnational cooperation of law enforcement, and the simple pleasure of holdaying where you want, when you want unhampered by any bureaucracy.

Brexshitters are truly the dumbest and make Isaan imbeciles seem fucking intellectuals.

I think there's at least another 5 years left on this topic. It could be the end of the Tory party and significant changes to the political map of the UK.

I shall be visiting in a fortnight, will be interesting to hear people's views.

Good insight into the hijacking of the leave campaign.

^^ Unlike in the US in 2020, there is no mechanism to change things.

It isn't a matter of US voters being less dumb.

That would be impossible.

Also, don't forget the ruinous effect on the environment, sa.

Britain's waterways are now full of more than even buriramboy typed on this topic.

In truth the Tory party broke up in 2016 and its successor, the Brexitory Party, has proved so incompetent it alone has nearly bankrupted the country ….and yet some Brexit shill newspapers are still, unbelievably, telling its readerships that the Brexitories are the only party trusted to run the economy! Unfuckingbelievable.
Thirteen years of Tory rule in one guise or other and we have the lowest growth in Europe, the worst productivity, the lowest wages, the shittiest rivers and coastal reaches, the worst roads, a health service in collapse and a school system that is literally falling apart and haemorrhaging teachers at a record pace.
And the £ is still devalued by 20% since 2016 against a raft of currencies.
What’s the betting the dumb English will vote them in again?

I can't see it myself but one should never underestimate the stupidity of the UK electorate, especially if Labour is not backed by Murdoch.

Interesting of you to show up here after the utter humiliation you have had in this thread over the years, toots/Mike/stigils/Whingy McFlounce. I guess you are banking on the search function of the thread being broken to hide some of the utter idiocy you have posted in this thread over the years.

Cletus haven't you got some pieces to move around on your war room map.

That is Brexit

There was me thinking it was 30 years with a regulator asleep at the wheel whilst the companies have been taken over by Johnny foreigner loading them up with debt and siphoning off profits in lieu of investment.

Yep, never a financial forecast wrong, central bankers always on the mark, industry and business always with the good of the people at heart. Is that the same industry that has been merrily offshoring jobs to eastern EU block countries with EU money - they love it, it provides justification for what they already planned but no lets blame it all on Brexit.

Christ you lot really do suck it all up - carry on Troy, Foo, Cy, Buttfly & Seeking

That was directed at Cyrille who utterly smashed you. Going back through this thread, you find some real gems. Both Cy and Troy utterly clowned a few brit tumpanzees.

Keep digging but don't let it affect the counter offensive
