Brexit is destroying Britain

Creative industry exports are worth a great deal to the UK.
Brexiters love talking Britain down it seems.

And Brexit is making it harder for Creatives - bands etc. ANd usually the right wing political parties want to stop media type social university courses as being of no use. But many a band that has earned more foreign currency for the Uk than any farming exports started life out doing these course. I usually use as an example Radiohead. And the UK gaming industry exports dwarf bit of cheese and an odd lamb to the USA.
 
Great post. In contrast earlier this morning I wrote an email to a client copied to his land agent highlighting the reduction in BPS now working through the system. Was in connection with current Stewardship scheme which expires end of this year and a replacement. From £50k payment 2020 plus Stewardship, be £31k in 2023. Stewardship doesn't recover it. The phasing out of BPS just starting to impact. Tenant farm.
They should get out before they're forced out. Not an easy choice but the right one.

IMO the remainers are not the problem IMO the Brexiters are the problem. Before you can fix a problem you have to admit there is a problem and the Brexiters keep saying that Brexit has not caused a problem everything is fine. It’s Covid,it’s the war in Ukraine it’s a worldwide recession they’ll blame it on anything but Brexit.

two strange implications here…🤔
1: that you have a relationship with the EU
2: that you have a government

Yes, on point 1 as I posted I did think I should explain the assumption is (and again British exceptionalism) that the EU will want to negotiate again. But I had already written half an essay. Maybe if my wife and all the rest of the Uk including the Met police and farmers stopped buying German cars, trucks, farm machinery the UK might has some leverage. Hey ho.

Railways here are a site better than the UK. I use them. Government owned.
EdF . Same. Look at our electric prices.
Government can run things efficiently. There has to be the will.

Nothing works in Russia. Just look at it's ihistory.
Your electricity are lower because the government subsidise them, not because edf are efficient.
You think government owned is best for one thing and not another...or beat if the government own and run everything?

You will know better than me but could it also be because the French have a fleet of nuclear power stations. Chunk of wind and Hydro. And thus are less reliant on fossil fuels. One of you chaps posting will know.

actually, we had a fair power cut New Year’s Eve, was kinda good with candles 👍. I was thinking, ah, here we go then, but actually (knowledge thanks to Facebook 🙄) a tree took the line down
 
So he had an Australian passport and gave it up?
I know Australia had a limited involvement in Vietnam. Professional soldiers, not conscripts.
I didn't realise your son was in his 50s and fancied joining up.
How little you know and how you invent things. I never said he had an Australian passport. I never said anything about him “joining up”. Why do you invent such things merely to try to show you are smarter than somebody else, yet fail because your inventions are wrong? Best if you stop trying so hard over something that is of no consequence in your life.
The British Embassy endorsed our joint passport after his birth. Our renewals were separate passports and my wife’s was endorsed with his 30 day visa on 7 July 1991 when we returned to Australia after our visit to the UK.

Australia’s “limited involvement” in Vietnam meant that over 60,000 of its soldiers were involved. I do not know if precise figures are available but from the mid 1960s there were tens of thousands of conscripts by way of National Service. Many of them were sent to Vietnam. I knew some of those conscripts who returned. Of those sent (and I had to look this up because I did not know the numbers) there were 521 fatalities and 3000 or so wounded.
