The farming bit starts:-
Our aim is that by 2028 all farmers will be: running sustainable businesses that do not need to rely on public subsidy.
Looks like it could be back to the 1960's:-
" giving businesses and consumers more choice over the measurements they use Imperial units like pounds and ounces are widely valued in the UK and are a core part of many people’s British identity"
Enabling businesses to use a crown stamp symbol on pint glasses
Reintroduced our iconic blue passports.

But MS in 1960 Farmers did receive subsidy. The Deficiency Payment Scheme. Reintroduced in 1956 when Food Rationing was ended. And continued until 1972 and accession in the EEC and the CAP. Deficiency Payments actually were introduced with the 1932 Wheat Act (explanatory articles attached), remained in force until 1940 suspended until 1954 then reintroduced. SO UK farmers will truly be entering a new phase from 2028 as it will be the first time with no subsidy since 1933.

English Working class, told by Murdoch and the Tories to be anti French.
English Middle Class, holiday there and would like to live and retire there.
British Establishment, live there whilst supporting Brexit so none of the lower orders ever come there 'lowering the tone'
a la Andrew Neill and Nigel Lawson

I had a read through. To quote that great Brexiter The Mogg 'Thin Gruel'. Most ordinary folk will have no idea about these items - me included. But having read the document barrel and scraping were words that I mused over. But onwards and upwards as they say. We voted. We decided. We are in the bed and have to make the most of it. Hey ho.
Oh a little joy this morning on Farming Today. Trucks carrying Chicken product for export from UK to EU must not pass through an area designated as Avian Flu zone. Even though the fridge trailers are sealed trailers. This is causing some difficulties at moment due to so many outbreaks of Avian Flu that the exclusion zones are overlapping. Routes now have to be designed around these zones. As you can imagine these rules do not apply within the EU. But apply to trucks entering the EU from third countries - the route in the third country has to be planned. Think we are seeing now steadily why the EU was such a good protectionist entity. Fascinating times.

Also trucks of up to 48 ton will be allowed on to the UK crumbling road network.

Ukraine can feed Brexit Britain
The UK is Europe's biggest food importer and Ukraine is one of the continent's top agricultural producers. This makes a post-Brexit free trade deal a potentially big win for both countries.

Well yes the EU will buy the Gas from Russia and we can buy the corn.January 2020, oh the irony right now

Where will they get enough stuff, to bring the gross weight up to 48 tons? I’m thinking it will be more like freight being pedalled about on rickshaws….Also trucks of up to 48 ton will be allowed on to the UK crumbling road network.

NatWest’s Sir Howard Davies: ‘I’m quite pessimistic. Brexit was a significant mistake’
The banker and former regulator has seen many crises in his career, but war and political division have him worried

Need a clear out of the ideologues in government and rejoin the single market. It'd remove many of the problems caused by brexit (especially financial and in NI) but still not put us under political structures. Negotiate a seat at the table for a say on the rules (which Norway etc have anyway) and let's get back to trading freely.

Get ready, the template for the remainder of this miserable government's term of office - make threats to the EU to whip up support among those who are only politically motivated if it involves 'getting rid of foreign interference', drag the UK's relationship with the EU through the mud and then claim some false win.
It won't last long because the power that the Brexit (Tory) Party actually listen to - the US - is going to reject a trade deal if they carry on as they are over Ireland.
This Brexit government can't fight the EU and the US on its own. Reality will dawn on them one day - it probably already has. It's now all about how they claim some win to their Brexit base (the UK equivalent of Le Pen voters). That shouldn't trouble them that much - that base is completely disinterested in the existence of Northern Ireland anyway.. they could probably tell them that they've turned it into a sectarian-themed amusement park and they'd believe them.
