I live 3 miles from Penally (population 800), Currently holding about 80 Iraqis (another 170 due shortly) in the army barracks. They have only been here a week and it's already had a impact on the locals. They tried to set fire to the camp last night.

The Welsh were pretty good at burning down English owned property in the early 80s.

Sorry, by the sounds of my post it looks like the locals tried to set fire to it. When in fact I ment the refugees 👍

Saw some of them being interviewed, moaning already re the conditions and saying they were doctors and nurses.......maybe Kent White should question them 🤔 

If it was good enough to house our Armed Forces,  then it’s certainly good enough to house these illegal "doctors, nurses, brain surgeons etc"

Talking of Kent, anti terror attack street bollards have been erected in certain areas there today........hmmmm, a lot of impact being made already

Exactly mate. Thing is they have been staying in hotels and then moved to the arse end of nowhere. The harsh Welsh weather is starting to come in now too. Poor sods, how will they cope 😂. Unconfirmed reports of 2 stabbed in the barracks last night.

Statement by Michel Barnier following Round 9 of negotiations for a new partnership between the European Union and the United Kingdom

 

The ninth round of negotiations on a future partnership between the European Union and the United Kingdom took place this week in Brussels.

Across the 11 negotiating tables, with discussions held in a constructive and respectful atmosphere, we noted:

  • points of convergence, most of which had already been recorded in previous rounds, in particular on some aspects of trade in goods, services and investment, civil nuclear cooperation, and participation in Union programmes;
  • positive new developments on some topics such as aviation safety, social security coordination, and the respect of fundamental rights and individual freedoms, which are a pre-condition for our future police and judicial cooperation in criminal matters;
  • a lack of progress on some important topics like the protection of personal data, climate change commitments or carbon pricing;
  • as well as persistent serious divergences on matters of major importance for the European Union.

We recall once again that any agreement on an economic partnership with the United Kingdom requires:

  1. Solid, long-term guarantees of open and fair competition. Our new economic partnership must be underpinned by clear rules. These rules must be operational and credible. That requires effective enforcement mechanisms, in particular on State aid, and a commitment towards non-regression from social, fiscal, environmental and climate standards. This is possible while fully respecting the regulatory autonomy and sovereignty of both parties.
  2. An efficient governance framework, based on a comprehensive agreement, with robust enforcement and dispute settlement mechanisms, as well as effective remedies. This is naturally even more important following the UK government's introduction of the « Internal Market Bill», which breaches its obligations under the Withdrawal Agreement and the Protocol on Ireland / Northern Ireland.
  3. A stable, sustainable and long-term agreement on fisheries, enabling the United Kingdom to further develop its fishing opportunities, while ensuring the sustainable use of resources and protecting the activities of European fishermen and women.

To reach an agreement, these divergences must necessarily be overcome over the next weeks.

We will continue to maintain a calm and respectful attitude, and we will remain united and determined until the end of these negotiations.

I’ll précis that for those who don’t have a bullshit filter:

”We’re nowhere near”

We hold them all pal, we can't lose!

Back on planet earth, folk may begin to realise that the big guns all have a better hand and that the small fry are bullied out of the pot with large raises. A pair of 7's just doesn't give you any kind of edge.
