What's causing an increase in (car) fuel prices: the EU, BrExit, both, something else?
Nothing sums up this mindless project more graphically.
Sign an international agreement necessary only because of an absurd insistence on abandoning a seamless trading system which had worked fine for over forty years. Sell it's destruction as a massive achievement. Then pretend the clearly stated consequences are a surprise and blame the other side for over-zealous insistence on rules and regs, to which you agreed and in many cases, actually wrote.
Announce that you will abandon the agreement unilaterally because it doesn't suit you. Then wonder why said partner will not trust a word you say.
If one were inclined to offload an area that was troublesome in terms of being economically disadvantaged and politically 'difficult' - might be a good time to start the process.
This is sounding suspiciously like removing the compulsion for mask wearing and saying “I’m sure people will use their common sense”. Like carousel vat fraud, it’s a recipe for abuse. The EU is expected to take Johnson at his word over the integrity of a border with them, really?
Boris wants the other party to take him at his word and signed agreement, which as history has shown is foolhardy. Taking him at his word on delivering previously unknown technology could be considered madness.Blockchain, innit. Technology, see. Sorted.
PS Wasn't aware Morrisons shoppers were so pro Boris/Tory.
Dido’s probably got one oven-ready.Boris wants the other party to take him at his word and signed agreement which as history has shown is foolhardy. Taking him at his word on delivering previously unknown technology could be considered madness.
I mean what would he do, phone up his favourite techpreneur and ask her to bang out something on the kitchen table?
What of course gets lost in all of this is that if Britain had simply agreed like many other third party countries with the EU, to align their food and environmental standards, none of this would happen. The great British sausage could have gone into Ulster without friction for ever.Let's say that the goods can cross into NI from the mainland without any checks whatsoever.
How, then, do the parties ensure that said goods do not cross into the EU?
Since to do so, with the UK having left the single market, they would need to be checked.
I don’t think there are many Johnson/tory supporters here, nobody really springs to mind. Hard remainers do have a talent for enabling Johnson/tories and also a hard brexit.I'm not.
