Now now Steve. Those darned email alerts... :)

On the day you told me I write rude and aggressive posts the pre-edited version of this started with, “That’s bilge...”.

I found it amusing so I’m not complaining, but a bit of the ‘pots and kettles’ maybe...? None of us are perfect and we could probably all make a bit of an effort, don’t you think?

It's bilge but nonsense was already there, take your pick. What are email alerts btw?

It’s reminiscent of the Goon Show,

“Enter Bluebottle wearing doublet made from mum's old drawers....waits for audience applause... not a sausage".

Perhaps Liz Truss can take up the slack by exporting the sausages to Bahrain ?

Increased costs to be paid for by our friends and nabours in the EU to fund the federal USE magic money tree.

New sources of revenue to ease the burden on Member States
To help repay the borrowing, new own resources will be introduced to complement Member States' contributions to the EU budget.

These would better align the sources of revenue to the EU budget with the EU priorities and objectives. They include tackling climate change and ensuring fair taxation in an increasingly digital economy.

The first new own resource, already as of 1 January 2021, will be a new contribution based on non-recycled plastic packaging waste. Further new sources of revenue could include a new own resource based on a carbon border adjustment mechanism, a digital levy, and the EU Emission Trading System.

The Commission also committed to propose other new own resources, based on the Financial Transaction Tax and a financial contribution linked to the corporate sector or a new common corporate tax base, by June 2024.

Sound like excellent progressive initiatives. Remind us how much money Johnson has printed in order to feed party cronies alone. Meanwhile addressing the thread topic, I see Lord Frosty is doing an EV with affected concern over the plight of the Strabane housewife,

“Lord Frost said: “Further threats of legal action and trade retaliation from the EU won’t make life any easier for the shopper in Strabane who can’t buy their favourite product. Nor will it benefit the small business in Ballymena struggling to source produce from their supplier in Birmingham.”

The meat in his sentence rather than his gristle was the acknowledgment of legal action. Legal action is a consequence that flows from breaking legally binding agreements or international law, something he and his Prime Minister are only too aware of and inflaming the gammon through the use of sausages won’t achieve much beyond short term distraction.

Progressive initiatives indeed and no longer a UK problem. Who will end up paying these additional costs?
Every four or five years the UK has an election control mechanism with the option to remove the party running the country. There is no turning back for the Federal tanker.

Given that every country is going to be in recovery mode, some more additional self inflicted damage than others, what exactly is wrong with the proposals here in your opinion Col?

It looks like another scrape that you haven't really read. We are not immune from our COVID impact (one of the worst) and our self inflicted trade losses that have only just begun to show - where do you think the money is going to come from?

That's more fantasy, the losses will have to be made up and you thinking that electing some different politicians long after the invoices begin to need settling doesn't alter that. All you will have achieved is a bigger hole in our finances than would have been the case and impaired ability to recover as key industries face labour and market restrictions.

This is not about a temporary fund raiser for covid recovery, it is a financial power shift towards a federal Europe. It appears to be sold as something for nothing but consumers will end up paying this tax.

One pfm member famously claimed by way of explanation for an incoherent post, that it must have been the lodger while he had nipped out to relieve himself. In this case it appears more like the cat has walked over the keyboard.

And who do you think will pay for Johnson's rewarding of his backers and cronies with public money? Once again you are looking away while the bigger problems are much closer to home.

It’s pointless. Brexit is la la not listening or look- a sausage! Next week it’ll be “I can’t take my hamster to see the Giant’s Causeway”.

The Tory government will be held to account at the next GE. The transition towards a federal USE has shown no signs of changing course, in fact it would appear that covid has provided an ideal opportunity for increasing pace towards that goal.

There is no transition to a federal USE, that's your bogey man construct, you are creating enemies to deflect from our own problems. None of which helps the very real issues caused by the nonsense you voted for.
