How were they to know you Continental types didn’t like oven ready meals as much as the UK population do?
No very promising for shellfish producers.

Why are loyalists making threats over the Irish Sea border?
Ex-police chief says ex-paramilitaries are a ‘real threat’
www.independent.co.uk
Refers to this , going on from a month ago
Unionists are already calling for Article 16 of NI Protocol to be invoked and they have good reason to do so given how it is panning out

But in this, Gove makes out it's only been since the EU cockup and it's their fault.
EU officials withdrawn from Northern Ireland ports following threats to staff from loyalists
Brussels copies stance taken by local councils, saying ‘We have asked them not to attend their duties today’

And Arlene has been calling for article 16 to be invoked, but when the EU accidently added it to their draft, she went apeshit!

But it's been happening for over a month! Nothing to do with what's just happened!!EU officials withdrawn from Northern Ireland ports following threats to staff from loyalists

Head of PSNI said tonight, nothing to see here, move on. No evidence of any paramilitary involvement.
Methinks the DUP are up to a spot of subterfuge here. They desperately, desperately need SOMETHING, ANYTHING, to save their political asses. It’s not going to work though. Bye, bye Arlene.
Firstly it wasn’t ‘accidentally’ added, it was deliberately put in there and approved by UVDL and her cabinet and it wasn’t a draft.This first link

Secondly, are you really that surprised that Arlene Foster was up in arms at the thought of Article 16 being used to disadvantage NI, even after having asked for it to be used to help NI shortly before?
Can you not see a difference that may affect her opinion on the two different scenarios? I’m no fan of hers, but I really don’t think the people she represents are have much fun at the moment.

Just noticed that; if Parliament had wanted any longer, it could have ordered HMG to make the time and HMG would have had no choice but to obey, we know this because of the superb remain-backed Court case that got the Supremes to restate the bleeding obvious - that Parliament is Sovereign. But Parliament didn't want extra time, so it didn't demand any.
I will not argue points of constitutional procedure as I haven't a clue and you will be far more erudite in reply than I can ever be. All I will say is the Brexit Hoodlums and Vandals have waffled on about taking back control and holding to account our domestic politicians. All of which I have thought is phish. Indeed I can recall more than a few Brexit hoodlums on here saying this. And then when it comes to an important moment - as you say fought for by the remain action these same politicians are found wandering off in no mans land. SO all that take back control and hold our UK politician to account - bollox. Nooughts changes maete as us old Fenmen would say. Same old, same old. Ah well best of British.

The point, if you bothered to read them, was the utter sh!t Gove lying and twisting what's been going on for a month into " since the EU " 4 days ago!
I will assume you are referring to this:
In the Commons, Michael Gove blamed the EU for planning to trigger Article 16 to suspend part of the Northern Ireland Protocol, telling MPs: “Trust has been eroded.”
So you don’t think trust has been eroded? I feel differently.
I can’t see any references to Gove saying everything was perfect in NI before last Friday, can you? Maybe you are twisting things a little?

Quick rinse in chlorine and jobs a good 'un.

Certainly should be making more capital out of all that chlorine washed salad.

There are a myriad of salad producers worldwide and also multiple sources of olive oil and similar products. I believe the government should be seeking to streamline supplies of these whilst any of European origin are quarantined for 72 hours because of Covid-19 fears.

Yes.
As I've stated before elsewhere.
Back in the day, I hauled many artic loads of produce from the world over, from sea ports and airports, to wholesale markets, pack houses, supermarket distribution hubs, etc.
All fantastic gear.

The ultimate hammer would be for the government to state that anyone holidaying in Spain etc this year will have to self-quarantine at home when they return... British holiday makers would soon choose alternative destinations in that case. Soon see how much they like it when no tourist coin heading in their direction.

I remember when Harold Wilson limited the buggers to only being allowed to take only fifty quid abroad. It can be done.

The problem is that the purification requires keeping the shell fish in certified pure water for a couple of weeks . This is water without and bacteria or virus contamination from sewage etc. which is not easy to find around the UK.
Sewage contamination os good for shell fish growth but bad for your stomach
However keeping them in pure water is not good for shell fish quality so has preferably been done close to the consumer.
