I am not, because I remember reading some weeks ago about a new scheme coming in, which will focus payments on work that enhances the environment, such as tree or hedge planting, river management to mitigate flooding, and/or creating habitats.
The cuts will start with a reduction of 5 percent for the smallest farmers, with the largest & richest landowners taking the biggest hit initially, even those will not actually see a 25% reduction, as the reductions are across four bands & it's only any amount over £150,000 that are reduced by 25% - see link below - and savings will be directed to the new Environmental Land Management (ELM) scheme.

The whole thing has brought back memories of the macho mob antics of the posh rugby club at university. I fucking hate rugby union to this day because of it.
Indeed, but the EU are being no better. Insisting the UK has to have a more restrictive set of requirements than other countries because it is physically closer by? That’s just as pathetic.

Indeed, they offered a Canada plus deal, now they are suggesting a Canada minus deal.
Opening shots from both sides, TBH.

Never knew it was so complicated , however Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, Instagram all store data in the US and I cant see UK users suddenly deleting their accounts and abandoning them on the discovery that they are not EU compliant, can ypu ?Interesting article:

Maybe not, but anything that might help folk to make such decisions must, at least, have some merit.

Of course not, but the point is that it may be of come concern as the article points out:
EU wankers still haven’t got their bureaucratic heads around the fact that the U.K. is now a third party negotiating on equal terms rather than a servant taking orders.

Although it's early, I think it'll be pretty hard to topple this from the top of the Stupidest Posts Of The Day listings. The UK has never been a 'servant taking orders,' and its negotiating clout is a whole lot smaller now that we're out of the union.

not to mention the uk has a dearth of experienced negotiators.

Based on what metric(s) do you make the claim that the EU & UK are negotiating on "equal terms"?

If that were the case then Macron wouldn’t be begging the U.K. to allow french fishermen a 25yr extension to our fishing territories.
Equally, Barnier wouldn’t be blowing hot and cold every 5mins - he certainly seems to have changed his tune now Boris has threatened to walk away early if they continue with their stupidity - the geographical proximity bs being prime example.
What’s our trade deficit with the EU?

In My Defence I was left Unsupervised
The "We'll walk away if there isn't enough progress" is BoZo grandstanding for a domestic audience and clearly it is working, give the man his due when it comes to uniting people behind slogans, he clearly has a gift for it.
Since he is the sole arbiter of this decision, not the people the tabloids or indeed even the Cabinet, it is a meaningless statement to whip up emotions.

And you don't think that's grandstanding as well? there is going to be a lot of this in the coming months from both sides as they get down to talking.
I'm fairly confident that is one thing that BoZo will give way on, the fishing industry is simply too small compared to finance, banking or manufacturing for him not to sell them down the river (no pun intended) at some point.
