Oh I'll grant that there's an element of fuckup going on here; I posted a Twitter link to it on the ruthlessly incompetent thread but there's also them milking the situation to stoke tensions which is inexcusable.
Strangely though the Home Office still seem to be running the 3rd country department (the department responsible for asking EU countries if they would take asylum seekers back under the Dublin III regulation). It may be that it applies still to people who claimed asylum before Brexit.

It’s going to batter small farmers while they have been removed access to their nearest market and having to compete with NZ and Oz imports.
Brexit Bites – Farming in Britain after CAP
On 26 January, the future of post-Brexit agricultural policy in England became clearer with the government’s announcement of six new standards under its Sustainable Farming Incentive.

Yes I know, it was always going to be thus, I've said it many times on the boards, but I think I'm right in that it will particularly batter animal farmers and while I'm sorry for them personally, a way of life will likely die out, it's better for the country and environment in the long run.It’s going to batter small farmers while they have been removed access to their nearest market and having to compete with NZ and Oz imports.

Farmers enthusiasm for Brexit was very bizarre to watch

It’s fine to say fuck the sheep farmers let them die out and grow heather instead but this bungled brexit where we outsource even more of our food supply to other countries than we did before, its not been thought through has it. Eg ‘look at our great new tomato trade agreement directly with Morocco’.

Back to the 1200s - "Eat a turnip serf and be damed grateful for it! "
I hear the swedes are up in arms about the preferential turnip exposure, not a happy bunch. They are forming a seperatist group in a bid for independence from the mainland.
Its a bit more confusing in Scotland where the neeps are unsure of their status, however new (controversial) laws allow them to self identify as a turnip or swede as they see fit.

Is it?. Only 224 signed up for it because it’s too much hassle for too little return. The CAP payments were a subsidy, but what’s wrong with that?
Just 224 farmers were paid under post-Brexit farming scheme last year
Exclusive: Leaked figures show tiny fraction of England’s farms received payment under sustainable farming incentive

And less food miles is good for the environment.

Miss the mighty turnip. Not those slightly disappointing swedes that ye claim are turnips.

And fishermen. (Or fisherthems.)

fishers seems to be the term used these days
makes some sense for fishers as they thought they'd get more fish-to-territory with less competition from non UK boats
god only know whats disappointed farmers thought
maybe they believed the amazing trade deal nonsense

Ah, right, I was thinking that fisherfolk might be a good gender neutral term, but I was going off what Sam Smith said about their fishing hobby the other day.
Sam Smith corrects One Show misgendering blunder amid 'fisher-them' comment
Alex Jones asked them: "What, like a fly fisherman?" Before Sam Smith swiftly corrected her by saying: "I'd be any type of fisher-them."
But now you mention it, yeah, now it's obvious.
I'm doing French evening classes at the moment and we had a conversation about gender neutral terms for jobs, prompted by the French term for 'air hostess' - I mean, hello, flight attendant ?
It's tricky enough in English, but when using a language full of masculine and feminine terms... although I learned there's a gender neutral term instead of il or elle - iel, so that's cool.
