A thank you to Brexiteers.

[Badgers]

I actually discovered a benefit!!!

The GDPR data changes stuff. Most of it will be damaging, a waste of time, or pointless. They are looking at removing those annoying popups about accepting cookies. At least for some websites. That’d be a brexit bonus

Data will be traded like oil kinda bonus?

I admit I was scraping the barrel looking for a benefit

There will be no more routine blood tests until further notice.

The % of people’s household income that gets spent on food has been pretty consistent for a long time (obvs it’s a higher % the less money you have coming in), but within that poorer people basically buy less of whatever’s gone up in price & try to find cheaper food whilst richer people will just buy whatever it is anyway.
So idk if ‘our food will just need to cost more (& let’s hope some of the people who work making our food will earn more)’ is a completely great plan.

 

[ska invita]

I’m happy to play at let’s attack each other in a friendly way for fun over brexit but am genuinely sad about this, the whole food production thing.

Dont be sad, food production needs a long overdue massive reconfiguration.
Judgement day will be once CAP subsidies stop in three years iirc. It'll put lots of UK meat farmers out of business, but that's what the world desperately needs to happen.
I'd rather it was done constructively and as painlessly as possible by a socialist government but if it has to happen by the wrecking ball of free marketeers, so be it .

We need to move a lot further towards veganism, and meat eaters can eat lab grown stuff.

I'd heard that was a worldwide shortage though.

Ok but what about the vegetables? Same problem. And I’m not sure that there’ll be more vegans instead of just more imported meat tbh.

isn't this just a bit too close to Johnson's comments last week that it was great for the environment that Thatcher closed the mines?
the effect isn't going to be a reduction in the consumption of meat (or coal) it's just shifting the production elsewhere for us to import.

Prices will go up... Less will be consumed and farmed

It might only be a part of the problem but the company that nhs buys their blood bottles from seems to think brexit is a part of the issue.

I got a text from Gp saying ‘no routine blood tests’, which I don’t really get cos who has blood tests as a hobby for no reason.

Alongside the lack of nurses and other minor 'teething problems'?

Of course, Brexit is still something worth supporting

we keep getting promised cheaper meat imports from countries where production is less expensive & with lower or no imports tariffs though.

It’s temp ban on things like vitamin levels etc that help lifestyle decisions as far as i know. I’m sure if your dieing they will rustle up some sample tubes.

On one level Johnson was right - closing the mines was good for the environment.
What makes what he said deeply offensive was that it was said as a defence of Thatcher, whose motive was to deliberately crush the unions and the lives of the defiant workers, not just with no sympathy for their plight but utter contempt.

My understanding of that time was that unions recognised that a transition from coal was necessary and wanted to negotiate a way of doing so whilst protecting livelihoods. What should've happened is what is being proposed in Green New Deals, such as the state playing a role in reskilling people working in arms factories to green tech. Much work on this is done, by unions and campaigners, and is ready to implement - right wing governments stand in the way.

As I said I'd rather it was done constructively and as painlessly as possible by a socialist government but if it has to happen by the wrecking ball of free marketeers, so be it. In England we live in a perpetual right wing neo-feudal state, with climate crisis doomsday clock ticking against us. If Brexit throws multiple spanners in the engines of continuous growth and other forms of obscene production, that's as much of a political victory as can be hoped for, and is something to build on.

Quite possible - I'd just heard from a mate who's having bloods and he said the nurse told him it was worldwide shortage. So "apocryphal or at least wildly innaccurate"

Probably making vaccine vials instead!

No worries. I had a search about and could find no shortages anywhere else. Same for other countries 'supply issues' or 'high demand' or massive nurse shortages or a lot of other stuff.

There are only three aspects of an 'EU Covid response '- a stimulus package which is in two parts ;a grant and a loan the latter has to be considered as part of the national debt ratio, the bulk purchase of vaccines, and the EU digital passport for travel within EU states. The rest including rate of vaccine and preventative measures are country by country.
