He admitted there would be problems but said the Government would sort each one out as it came up.

 

The government can't even sort out out current problems so the fact you have blind faith in them to deal with the amount of ridiculous problems that will be created is borderline Benny Hill.

 

Ahh yes the solution to all these problems will be to blame other people! I can see it a mile off despite the fact 95% of businesses think no deal is a terrible idea.

UK fishing exports 'could be halted within 48 hours of no deal'

 

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2019/o...deal-brexit?CMP

 

The UK’s fishing fleets could face a de facto blockade within 48 hours of a no-deal Brexit, MPs have been told.

 

Representatives of the fishing industry said it was “a bit of an understatement” to describe the UK’s preparations for no deal as “a shambles”.

 

Not only is the country not ready, but there are not enough vets to stamp paperwork for every boatload of fish, which would be mandatory in a no-deal scenario, MPs heard.

 

You could realistically be looking at the UK fishing fleet, certainly the fleet that’s catching exportable products, tied up within 48 hours of a no-deal Brexit,” said Terri Portmann, a marine consultant.

 

If trucks carrying perishable goods were caught in queues at Dover, this would have a knock-on effect at the daily fish auctions, with hauliers unable to pick up loads, she said.

 

“Would it not be an irony that the UK fishing fleet, who loyally, almost unanimously, voted for Brexit, got tied up because the government didn’t help and intervene to make sure the exports they so heavily rely on could continue,” she said.

 

The committee heard that about 50 lorries a day carry shellfish to the continent and that in a no-deal scenario, they would have to be accompanied by between two and four pieces of paperwork, including catch certificates, export health certificates, a process statement and a storage document.

 

The hauliers would also have to carry their own Brexit paperwork, including driver permits.

 

This would be likely to cause delays, as the staff at ports would have no way of prioritising fresh food in a queue of up to 10,000 lorries a day travelling between Dover and Calais.

I look forward to every last one of those tory voting brexiteer eejits slowly realising on the 1st of November that the tory government couldn’t care less about them and that for all their crying about the CFP, it’s better than NoFP which replaces it somewhat abruptly.

 

If any survive without going bankrupt, I look forward to them passionately campaigning for a Yes vote

Michael Gove today said that of course there'll be a few minor problems with no deal but they can easily be sorted out, or words close to that. He said it wouldn't be as bad as everyone was making out.

He. Is. Lying. To. You. And. The. Country.

 

You. Bloody. Moron.

 

 

Does Boris Johnson have to actually murder you for you to realise he and his government are lying disingenuous scum? Wake up for god sake before it’s too late

Because no-one at all in the UK eats fish? :rolleyes:

 

Someone on DS, a remainer, reckons he's worried as he's suddenly himself thought of how Boris could circumvent the Benn act. What if he goes to the EU summit next Thursday, 17th (remember he was to send extension letter by 19th) and at the end of it says that talks appear to have broken down, if they appear to have, and we're leaving at midnight that day, 17th or next day.. Could anyone stop that? He wouldn't have broken the law as he wouldn't need to send the letter and we'd crash out. Do you have to wait until the final extension date though to leave or can you leave earlier?

The majority of the fish we eat is imported. The majority of the fish caught in UK waters is exported. Put simply, British people prefer fish that are not present in UK waters.

If he tries that, it will be challenged in court immediately.

Yes I thought that too. I wouldn't put it past him to have something like that up his sleeve though.

Yes I was amazed at that fact. Most of the fish we catch is exported whilst a lot we eat is imported. We also eat a lot of salmon from Norway though the Americans and Chinese say it's not as good as Scottish.

More problems for Boris.

 

Five Cabinet ministers are understood to be on a No 10 resignation watchlist if the party pushes for a no-deal Brexit

 

They are Nicky Morgan, Julian Smith, Robert Buckland, Matt Hancock and Geoffrey Cox

 

Ministers are in open revolt over Dom Cummings and his push for no-deal

 

One told The Times: 'Cabinet will set the strategy not unelected officials.

 

'If this is an attempt to do that then it will fail. We are not a Cabinet of sock puppets and nodding dogs’

 

Another Cabinet minister told The Times they would find it 'very, very hard' to stay in Government if it campaigned for no-deal at election

 

They said a 'very large number' of Tory MPs, up to 50, will also quit the party

Crunch time now according to the Government.

 

The Commons will sit on Saturday 19th October. It's rumoured that Boris will test his proposed deal with an MP's vote and if that fails they'll be given a choice of NO DEAL or REVOKE.

I don't believe the government can offer a binary choice. Parliamrnt will take over proceedings.

 

Also, how does it feel being ruled by an unelected beaurocrat and his puppet, who also wasn't elected, aka an unelected dictator in all but name?

I feel no different about it than I would any other PM, none of whom are directly elected.

 

It seems you don't like it even when the head of government *is* directly elected, as in the US... :teresa:

Where he lost by 3 million votes lewl.

 

Bojo at least got elected in his constituency for some reason. Cummings rules you. You did not put him thrre. No one did. He is completely unelected. And an unelected leader is a.......
