Depends on whether you want to take what @le bon paysan wrote as true or a downright lie.
Good keep your lorries off our roads, never paid to use them but cause them to break up and lots of congestion. Win win
Ricketts is caused by vitamin D deficiency and is not greatly influenced by diet. Never mind , it makes a good story.
Prof Tim Lang was on the World at One last week. Stating that the shortages were a consequence of Brexit and it was completely bonkers to have voted leave the EU when half our food comes from their.
I suggest with the very greatest of respect, that you toddle back to the legal business. I’m sure the legal types, would read your ramblings, peer over their monocles and demur only in the most rare of occasions.Derr...! No, we can keep whatever standards we wish, and those wanting to sell to here will have to meet them; just as, if we wish to sell to the EU, we'll have to meet theirs. It isn't complicated.
As for your last bit, no again; and you haven't written what I am sure you know is the actual truth; i.e that the paperwork is the same regardless of whether or not 'EU standards' are complied with when one does not submit oneself to the EU's authority*. But you knew that already.
Out of interest, any news about the great idea of the lefties / greens (and attached nutters) in the EP to have a new 'EU Law' to ensure all oil and gas coming into the EU is sourced 'ethically'?
My take on what they regard as ethical is that it doesn't harm the environment or help finance oppressive and undemocratic regimes; but I'm sure the EC - under orders from Germany - will find that neither the Middle East nor Russia do anything bad in any way, at all, ever. What do you think?
*I know this because some things an interest of mine send to over the the EU, despite being tested and confirmed as way above any required standard here or in the EU, now require additional and unnecessary form-filling; whereas because the UK has decided not to be vindictive - and, by the way not break the terms of our trade agreement as the EU are (foolishly leaving a shot in our locker for the future) - we get the same stuff from, e.g. Germany as we did before in the same way, with no additional hassle, for now. But we may source from South Korea or Japan in future if our stuff keeps being picked on, the savings in buying from there offsetting the inconvenience to us.
One thing it will mean is that we won't be obliged to share a quota of the vast number of 'migrants' that the EU will be having to take in over the next few years... doesn't mean none will end up here, the lying and hypocritical French will do their least, as usual, to prevent lives being risked in the English Channel. Another thing will be that we won't have to send treasure or people to the 'frontier', which is about as porous as one can imagine.
As for other matters, I heard an interesting interview on the radio a few days ago; the interviewee was a prof' of something or other - at Oxford I think, though he sounded Latin - and he reckoned that by 2025-26 the UK would have increased its importing of foodstuffs from non-EU countries by around 25%. A significant amount, as I think we can all agree. But not as significant as the estimated further 20% by about 2030, and yet another 20% by 2040, all estimates of course, it could well be a bit lower, or higher.
Now, this is / will be in a fair part for political reasons, but the main argument was that of climate and cost. The EU won't be able to produce a lot of what we want, not in sufficient quantity, and not at the right price. He reckoned we'll be buying from South America, various parts of Africa and, possibly Russia, with Canada and New Zealand increasing exports to us as well. I don't recall his mentioning Australia... but I buy Ozzie wine whenever possible and I'm sure others do to.
(Lucky for you you don’t grow veg

Apart from cereals and grasses 90% of it was Dutch. The Dutch agri/horti industry is heavily government supported unlike our industry which successive governments have failed to recognise. They get subsidised heating for their glass, or used to, and a massive state owned plant breeding research centre which works closely with the commercial breeders. We would rather shuffle papers and screw people with finance deals.I’ll put my hands up...
I haven't bought a David Brown for 25 years
btw, all the seed I used to buy from Elsoms seemed to be Dutch
I dont know why we havent charged all foreign lorries so much per visit to the uk to recoup the cost of the roads, we have a toll pass to use in france it makes it much easier at the tolls especially when driving alone, it surprises me how many of the french dont have one, only costs us 6 quid a year and something per month of use, the time it saves in big queues is worth the cost on its ownShows how smart the french are by comparison - uk lorries paying tolls to use the roads
They can bus these Afghans landing in the UK straight over to the Fens then. I am sure some will be pretty experienced in exotic crops.

They had better get used to it, it's just the start. The exodus from Hong Kong could get underway at anytime plus Boris is busy letting the whole of British industry and commerce be sold to speculators and hedge funds. The place will soon be owned, run and populated by foreigners.Problem being; there is a huge chunk of the population that don’t want any f**king foreigners going in, phrases such as “we are full”, so; they are a bit buggered really
Phone call today asking for more Beans, more Broccoli and more Peas not quite sure why as it’s peak season in the UKI have always supported LCFC and was a season ticket holder for a good number of years. You remind me of myself a bit of the year (circa 2007) when Leicester were relegated to the third tier, but I would still chant on « Leicester, by far the greatest team, the world has ever seen »
I’m glad for you your happy with it
Exactly , firms need to employ more intelligent people .
