Brexit Bites the Falkland Islands’ Calamari

Local officials are considering breaking ranks with the UK Government and asking the EU for help, reports David Hencke

bylinetimes.com

Barkman said that the 42% tariff on Falklands lamb – there are 500,000 sheep on the island, compared to a human population of roughly 3,000 – has completely killed its EU market, causing hardship for farmers. The UK has said that the farmers could export their lamb to the UK tariff-free – but there are concerns that it could not compete with home-grown Welsh and Scottish lamb.

Barkman pointed out that the Islanders are not able to negotiate directly with the EU, as the UK handles its foreign affairs – but that many are now tempted to ask Spain to intervene, particularly as processing workers in Vigo could lose their jobs if exports from the Falklands are cut.

Until Labour remainers properly accept Brexit, the party will be stuck in limbo | Larry Elliott

Brexit has settled the UK’s relationship with the EU for years to come. Labour’s duty now is to help improve leavers’ lives, says Guardian columnist Larry Elliott

[bimble]

Idk how anyone can write down seriously that the UK's relationship with the EU is 'settled'. I mean, brexit has happened, it is a fact, I don't think wasting energy on trying to reverse that is a good idea at all but the relationship is so not settled, it will probably never be, the terms of the relationship are going to be wrangled over endlessly probably until there's no longer such a thing as either the Uk or the EU.

for instance, if this is a settled relationship Idk what an unsettled one looks like.

Just heard on the radio that a British fishing vessel is joining the blockade.

UK fishermen have got at least as bigger beef with the UK government as the French I guess ?

www.theguardian.com

“Remainers often give the impression that they welcome bad economic news on the grounds that it makes rejoining the EU more feasible. This is not a good political look.”

I was thinking about starting a thread where we can track these types of continuity remain offerings, along with their apocalyptic warnings - lorry parks, food shortages, the end of the world etc - that haven’t happened. But then I remembered we already had one!

 

[glitch hiker]

I thought we did have lorry parks? And a permit to enter Kent and all the rest of it.

Food shortages don't seem to have happened, but the fishing industry is knackered and we're sending gunboats to Jersey!

Cue "Gotcha!" headline in the Scum

 

[Ax^]

what a load of shit this story is


French fishermen don't want to apply for permits to fish in water they been using for years
so blockading a Harbour


"send in the Gun boats this is what Brexit is for lads"


rest of the uk fish industry quickly dying on its fucking arse

It's not going very well though is it?

There must be an election on today or something.

You mean playing argy-bargy with boats isn’t preferable to working with neighbours in the spirit of friendship and collaboration?

This thread? I disagree. It's priceless

 

[editor]

This thread?

No, Brexit.

How's it working out for you what with all the trouble in Northern Ireland, bands and the arts being totally fucked over, exports plummeting for various small industries, and now the Royal navy sending gunships out into the Channel, like a mini-me version of Thatcher's Falklands gunboat diplomacy? All good? Worth voting for again?

 

[gosub]

The notion Bob Geldof was last seen heading south in a pedalo muttering how all fisherman are wankers and that the Boomtoon rats haven't got any EUropean gigs booked, is probably made up

 

[MrSki]

Still never mind I am sure that a lot of Brexiteers who voted because there were too many Eastern Europeans in Little Britain are well chuffed that FOM is to be granted to our Indian cousins.

 

[BobDavis]

It's not going very well though is it?

Here in my rural part of 70odd percent leave voting Essex most would say brexit is going very well. 21reg SUVs are everywhere & builders are selling £half mill detached houses & bungalows as fast as they can chuck them up on any available pocket handkerchief piece of land they can find. They would reckon the vaccine programme is going fantastically because of brexit. The supermarket shelves remain full so what is not to like ?

I wonder if this French fishing dispute has been engineered with perfect timing on polling day by the tories to make voters vote tory ?

 

[klang]

what a load of shit this story is

yes but there is still a glimmer of hope for outright war.
