    I see from sn article on Sky News today that the Scottish fishing industry is less than enamoured with the position it now finds itself in regarding its fresh seafood exports to the EU.

    Miles of red tape and HMRC inexperience in raising the necessary paperwork to allow the export of a very perishable commodity means that trailers are currently parked up and fishing boats tied up simply because they can't export it before it goes off. Workforce are furloughed and the situation is apparently going to take some considerable time to resolve.

    It's ok, I'm sure the UK's fisheries minister will have closely read the final deal and made sure that it was the best it could be.................................................... doh

  2. All this is whinging about Trump not be able post his Adderall fueled rants on Twitter yet those whinging don't seem to making much noise about the fact that Donald hasn't made any public appearances since last Wednesday. He could exercise his freedom of speech at any point if he made an actual appearance. The man is incapable of speaking without a script, it's bonkers that he actually made president. The American dream, where any ordinary boy with millions in the bank can grow up to be president. It's all rather surreal.

    Good to see the CCP and various Ayatollahs, including Khominei haven't suffered the same fate. My thanks goes out to social media platforms who've allowed them to continue to post up sensible and caring humane advice, and loving spiritual guidance without exception...

    Khominei as in the one that died in 1989? I'd be pretty impressed if he was posting his holiday snaps on Facebook or tweeting anything.

    So, Trump is no longer allowed to use social media.

    Whatever happened to free speech? In USA of all places. 

    The man is currently the leader of the free World, he has all the free speech he could ever want. There is nobody stopping him from holding press conferences or even making televised addresses to the nation. The fact he generally chooses to ignore these means of communication is his own choice. Freedom of speech, this is the man who has purposely excluded a large proportion of the media from his briefings.

     

    Yes, he has eventually been kicked off Twitter and Facebook but that it not the removal of the right to free speech. Those services are exactly that, they are services and if the owner of those services no longer wants you as a customer they are perfectly entitled to stop doing so. The fact that Trump prefers to express his opinion in bursts of 280 characters should be seen for what it is - a failing.

    the internet sleuths reckon she's holding an onion in her towel and keeps rubbing it in her eyes, i can't see for sure but it's possible.

     

    By sleuths do you mean conspiracy theorists who think it was all actually leftie actors that smashed their way in?

    Of course, it is possible that she decided to rub an onion on her eyes or even that she maced herself but I personally think she got maced by the police as she entered the building. People scratching around for excuses for these idiots must be pretty dumb.
