Winchester White Posted January 23, 2024 Posted January 23, 2024 Those 5 times delayed border checks are supposed to kick in next week. I wonder if they will actually be implemented this time? Quote

'The last straw' for farmers in the EU: 'Work isn't appreciated, no prospects for family farms' (msn.com) Farming v environment is always a balance. The UK government is doing terrible on both fronts. A free trade deal with Australia/NZ which will seriously undermine the home market and meanwhile allowing our rivers to have raw sewage dumped in them. Quote

I don't agree with a lot of what you say, but the Australia/NZ deal does seem to be a kick in the balls for domestic farming, plus of course, the airmiles won't be helping the environment a great deal Quote

The ports are already struggling, so the last thing we need is more delays, which is exactly what will happen if we do bring the checks in. I'm sure it'll all be reported as the EUs fault either way though Quote

They were always going to be chucked under the bus, fuck knows why they believed a word that cunt Farage said about how they would benefit massively. The Government was never going to fully support them, they haven't for decades, so why would they the second we left the EU? Although, a lot of the farmers around here are selling/renting their land out to accommodate Solar Farms or Wind Farms......that's if they're not trying to flog the land off for housing. Perhaps Farming in this country is pretty much dead anyway (or on it's way to being so) Quote

EU doing worse judging by Farmers protesting right across Europe. Quote

In the ideal world, one of the other larger nations leaving just after we did is what we would have wanted (and Miami seemed to think there would be a domino effect) - as that would strengthen our hand a bit. I'd expect the Dutchers, French or Italians to be the "next to consider leaving, but I'm not sure there is much appetite for it, especially, no matter what way you spin it, our process of leaving hasn't been at all easy, and we're not tied in with a currency, which makes it very difficult to leave Quote

I reckon there's a greater likelihood of the Conservative Party splitting. One half is infested with woke globalists who need to be cleared out or rather left with an option to jump in with Ed 'fuck the postmasters' Davey's shower of shit. A realignment of UK politics. Real Conservatives jumping to the Reform ship. Well overdue. Quote

Irrespective of his general views being aligned, his approach and attitude towards the environment/net zero etc is bonkers. He's not alone with that neither; all a bit luddite for me. Quote
