Donald Trumps Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 There will be no tariffs on food imports from the EU? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Onchan Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 But don't be fooled by the old trick of putting less in the packet for the same price.... case in point, cuppa soups. At one time there used to 5 sachets/box now it's 4/box but the prices have hardly changed. Similarly some breakfast oat cereals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Onchan Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Just now, Donald Trumps said: There will be no tariffs on food imports from the EU? The increase in documentation is because the UK is obliged to keep more detailed statistics of both imports & exports, irrespective of the tariff or origin. The UK is no longer in the EU so it will have to record EU import/export stats as with they do presently with all other countries.

It's always possible but I suspect the investment required to train the numbers needed to process all transactions will be more than just a couple of % on limited lines.

Don't you just love the spin the alternative reality MSM put on all this bollox: UK taking back control with or without Brexit deal: £705m border plan to transform Britain! The UK is investing hundreds of millions in border control in a clear indication Britain will be ready for no deal if necessary. It comes as Home Secretary Priti Vacant Patel prepares to announce the next stage of the overhaul of immigration rules with publication of a points based system aimed at attracting the brightest and the best to the UK. The investment in border infrastructure, jobs and technology will include £470 million on new border control posts and £235 million on IT systems. There will also be more than £100 million to develop HMRC systems to reduce the burden on traders, alongside additional investment in technology to ensure that new controls can be fully implemented in the “Roll On, Roll Off” environment. Another £15 million will be spent to build new data infrastructure to enhance border management and flow helping us on our way to the world’s most effective border by 2025 . This package is on top of the £84 million already provided in grants to ensure there is sufficient capacity in the customs intermediary sector to support traders. Sounds great, doesn't it! Reality Subtext: This is just the beginning of all the extra expense associated with Brexit that YOU, the taxpayer, will have to fund. Just when the economy is on it's arse anyway - what a great time to be making things worse. Not. Fucking clowns... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says that Johnson doesn't have the courage to stop Brexit. That's like saying I don't have the courage to jump in front of a bus. Problem with this logic is that I don't have the desire either, and I suspect that similarly, Johnson has no desire to stop Brexit. Quite right too.

Just when the economy is on it's arse anyway - what a great time to be making things worse. Not. Fucking clowns... What does half of that even mean. "[T]he world’s most effective border" - what more than North Korea? Most of the British media seems to have degenerated into putting out Government press releases with added gush. They make Gef look like Woodward and Bernstein. Pravda under Stalin would have been embarrassed by some of this stuff and London journalists don't have the excuse that they will be sent to the Gulag if they say the wrong thing - at worst they might not be invited to the odd drinks party. All it actually means is that the Government have given some mates of theirs contacts to deliver complicated systems about which they have no experience or knowledge, but non-delivery doesn't really matter because the purpose is to give your mates money.

But now he's going to go down in the history books as the totally amoral narcissistic serial philanderer and inveterate liar whose vaccillation, laziness and ineptitude squandered the opportunity to prepare the UK for Covid-19 which directly led to the UK suffering more excess deaths than any other European country. Having lost a dear friend to the virus I hope he rots in hell... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
