A thank you to Brexiteers.

Very misleading headline here, British pork is doing very well in China. Everything else looks fucked admittedly but China loves our pigs and thats what we should focus on.

British food and drink exports to EU fall by £2bn in first quarter of 2021

Industry body says analysis of HMRC data shows structural rather than teething problems with Brexit

Cue Boris Johnson dressing up as a pigherd and jabbering about Britain's eternal brotherhood with the Celestial Kingdom.

Exporting pork to China is actually quite impressive, given that's where it originates.

I think what is more misleading is not outlining the proportions of the sector. Scale in terms of employed and money involved, and as a proportion of economy and what % is for internal consumption and what is for export. It isn't just the Food and Drink seem very up on PR, they are having a genuinely challenging time. But it needs better definition

That is actually her isn't it, not a comedy pisstake but our actual minister for international trade. what a world.

It's the inane grin while waiting for applause that makes it

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

HERSELF

Obviously not horrendous, but it's probably not what she wants to be doing when she has all the other hotel shit to sort out. There are probably other hotel jobs she has as to take on as well. It's not the easy life she wants for herself. Her business model probably included low wages of young foreign staff who would work short term for the travel experience.
The red tape they all wanted to remove was for workers rights and minimum wages. . . So fuck her. Just because you are allowed to treat people like shit doesn't mean the people will take it.

and the Mail is offended on her behalf at the menial nature of the work she's having to do.

Its like she thinks she's told a hilarious joke and is waiting for the audience to laugh. Very peculiar.

or the remote control circuits have stuck at 'grin and pause' until reactivated by the applause

Its absolutely perfect.

I thought that you might number sex work in your list of the most exploitative parts of the labour market. Not to mention garment factories Exploited workers at UK garment factories 'robbed' of £27m since July and construction, recycling, nail bars and car washes Slaves working in UK construction and car washes, report finds

Yeah, it wasn't meant to be an exhaustive list. I'm thinking here about an entire segment of the economy that post Covid and Brexit is becoming revalorized in terms of both the perception of its social worth and labour value. There is a massive opportunity for some kind of re-alignment to take place but, bar a few smaller unions like UVW, I do not sense the movement has seriously thought about or orientated towards.

Because they can and it's less hassle than employing non EU ones?

Exactly, racist scum.

Fuck knows. I'm not an EU national.

It's because they've banned a lot of domestic pig farming for environmental reasons and constant outbreaks of swine fever etc.

 

[Supine]

They can’t find a U.K. based brexiteer who can do the job. Best to import one then

Pretty sure neither Bahnhof Strasse and TopCat are currently seeking gainful employment.

There must be someone else you can suggest this to, someone who is looking for work ATM, maybe even as a direct result of Brexit, wo would benefit from this opportunity but for the life of me I can't think who...

Imagine if cringing could cure covid 19. All the government would have to do is make everyone watch that at the exact same time and the pandemic would be over in an instant.

Corbyn is still an mp?.

I'm sure there are sensible reasons for this, I was just attempting to make a joke about the fact that eating pork originated in China when pigs were first domesticated there.
