Death Throws of No Deal

[Ashtree]

As the clock winds inexorably down to deal or no deal, and the EU showing ZERO signs of “bricking it”, as the loyal TFF Brexiteers expect, the U turn preparations have begun in earnest.
Barnier of course recognises the shift from dogma, to bravado, to realisation, and latterly to panic! As an experienced operator, he also of course recognises that there is no better time, to turn the screw the last few threads!
The only question is who will be PM after the dust has settled? Will the usual suspects (dyed in the wool Borisites), abandon their leader as quickly as he abandoned ND, and they previously abandoned Mother Teresa, and all swing in glorious chorus to #rishimoneygrowsontreessunak!

Businesses need assurances now on UK land-bridge - Clune - Agriland.ie

Fine Gael MEP Deirdre Clune says businesses need certainty now in the event of the EU not reaching a trade deal with the UK.

Pressure starting to show at home now as well ashy, maybe we could replace some of that good wholesome grass fed Irish stuff with some good old hormone treated stuff from uncle Sam- make us grow big and strong. #realitystartingtohithomeforourfellowirishpeopleallofasudden

Pssst .... if you play your cards right you stand to make a fortune. Now said that real grass fed ROI cattle can be exported across the border which doesn’t exist. William can keep it on his farm for a short duration and have it killed in any one of Larry’s abattoirs up north. Hey presto, by magic of Boris and Cummings, it can now be classed as a real “British”, grass fed animal. And the best part is, that the magic applies deal or no deal.

Could be disastrous for Irish beef farmers but our gloating friend doesn't seem to mind so maybe not a beef farmer. He's already looking at loopholes so maybe Boris has him worried after all.

So you're not at all concerned that 50% of Irish beef exports are to the UK?

the reason why so much is exported to the UK is because the UK needs it. so the UK going to have to keep on buying it unless it drops it standards or lets people starve

also thanks to Brois betrayal bill N.Ireland will have to follow EU standards.

Dream on.

Dream on.

so where are you going to the the 40% of the food you need to keep people happy and well fed. even if you want to produce more beef, you still looking at 3 years before you have extra animals on the shelves. never mind the demand on the land to produce more food. No the UK will have to keep importing food.

Plenty cheap food around the world. Cheaper than EU food.

and of a much lower standard. and as i said in my first post "unless it drops it standards "
and tell me how are UK farmers going to cope with having to stick to the High standards set by westminster for UK uk farmers while importing low standard sh!t for else were

and also currently we have NO TRADE deals with any major food producing countries which means FULL wto tariffs on all imported food

But if there's a deal albeit a narrow one, you'll be shut off from the rest of the worlds cheap food. You get the worst of both worlds. Locked in with no say.

Sorry I cannot let this go.
I have left the Brexit debate since the election of Boris as it was quite obvious that remain was dead. Whatever I thought then was quite firmly democratically put to one side for a long time.
However one thing the British people did vote for, was “ The easiest deal in History” Boris’s very words.

Boris went to the country in December 2016 saying, quite clearly, there was an oven ready deal. Or was I on a different planet.?

Further evidence to me that firstly Johnson and his Tory mates will say anything and yet again more lies and fibs from Brexiters. They just cannot help themselves.

Good point - it is all a blur now.
