Brexit Deal

[puppet]

Nothing, they are the best in the world, the EU is really cutting off their nose to spite their face with this one. Unless, of course they are tempting Scotland to split and rejoin the EU?

Could seed tatties become the biggest recruiting sergeant for independence?

I am not at all negative just a realist.
I am old enough to remember life before we joined the EU.

I also remember how well we did after joining and how easy it became to cross all those borders. I still have a collection of cigar tins with small change for all the different countries we used to go to when the countries in the EU were all separate and before the Euro.
I was never a fan of the Euro and it was right we kept the pound but trade was easy in Euroland.

I really hope that life on the outside will be as good as when we were on the inside.

Well I am sure life will be better. Lots of opportunities for our next generation of farmers await

No details yet. One thing is certain, it won't be anything like as seamless as being inside the EU, although hopefully it will be the best possible deal available. Either or which way, it is a work in progress and we've made our bed and will have to lie in it. If I was 40 to 50 years younger I would certainly emigrate, although that has become considerably more difficult lately.

Oh no how will we cope

Perhaps that might stop the next horse gate, dutch elm orcas die back issue IF we do the job properly, perhaps the biggest failing of our EU membership been the useless uk civil service and government.

Dont need vets to okay trees do we?

 

[Fast Farmer]

All food products should be banned that aren’t produced to our legal standards, we wouldn’t buy a car that wasn’t legal or a washing machine, or pharmaceuticals, etc

Dunno about that, VW scandal, Mercedes emissions aswell, washing machines and fridges going a fire like in Grenfell tower not to mention the cladding

But will it be in farming as we understand it

If they do this and succeed that would end in carnage for the EU because every splinter group and every basket case country would want to have their say on their patch and precedent would be set and bar would be below the level of Bulgaria and Romania which they fiddled to get them in , now they've got to fund them .... but not our prob anymore hopefully ....

we will be paying for it. Nothing has been mentioned of how much and for how long we will still have to pay the EU.

But England and Wales will still be major buyers. And of course, if Scotland becomes independent, E&W might decide to grow their own.

 

[Martin Holden]

I travelled through Slovenia a couple of years ago and they grow a lot of potatoes which they wanted to send to the EU, presumably some of the accession countries believe they will fill the gaps. Plenty of Colorado Beetle there though!!!

That’s good! We can get some back loads for our hauliers when they bring our machines in from Slovenia!

This is the worry in small print ...keep having open door policy and keep paying in ... sounds about reet , we usally end up with crappy end of stick tell us aload of baloney to try getting us of the case !

 

[Chae1]

It would have been nice if we could have banned the import of pork products produced under systems illegal in the UK.

No one seemed to mention that, probably bigger than the fishing job on its own.

Boris did specifically mention the imports of pork products during questions after press conference today.

It was just an example but he mentioned high welfare standards of UK pork production and said if other countries were exporting cheap pork into the UK with substandard welfare a tariff could be imposed.

By my maths... UK's net contribution to the EU was 9billion. The remaining population or the EU is 450million or so. Therefore each person in the EU will have to pay 20 quid to make up for the loss. Not the end of the world.

 

[serf]

They'll be fine then. I will stop worrying about em

 

[Tha Ulsterscot]

How will France and Germany find the money to support the other 24 or is it 25 now they don’t have the UK contribution? Even more bankrupt than it was before.
How long before the EU breaks up?

Don't think the UK will get off that lightly, only question is how much has the DEAL cost us.

He also it be unlikely tariffs would be applied

Doubt it

Where do you think Ash Dieback etc came from. Guy local to me takes hawthorn cuttings and sends them to France as they grow twice as fast there before coming back. That's how these diseases are brought in.

But that's not how it works Germany pay the most and will now have to stump up more, will they be happy ?
