L00b Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 (edited) 3 hours ago, Delbow said: I see fishing and sea food business can now claim up to £100k each for lost income. I'm just checking how this works: (largely) vote for Brexit, get Brexit, start losing money because of Brexit, get given other people's money to be protected from the consequences of your own decisions. Is that it? Sunak found a jungle's worth of money trees, then? You are presuming that these claims will be honoured... ...when fishing and seafood businesses are merely the first 2 seats of the first carriage of a miles-long train nicknamed "UK plc". It's not the sort of presumption that I would feel confident enough to stake my business' continuity on. Not when there's a planeload or ten of carpetbaggers circling and waiting for the derailment, to then swoop in and pillage the wreckage for nowt; and then stash the proceeds in BVI and Jersey banks.

Mister M Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 I see that Roger Daltrey of The Who is taking quite a bit of flak at the moment Daltrey is one of 100 music stars that have accused the government of “shamefully failing” the country’s performers with its EU trade deal. In a letter published in The Times on Wednesday, they said the government’s “negotiating failure” threatened the future of cultural exchange with Europe and that new Brexit red tape would make "many tours unviable, especially for young emerging musicians who are already struggling to keep their heads above water owing to the Covid ban on live music". This comes after culture minister Caroline Dinenage admitted the UK rejected an offer by the EU to extend the music visa scheme to pursue more stringent border policies. However, Daltrey a vocal supporter of Brexit Daltrey, famously downplayed the effect of Brexit on bands touring Europe, once asking "what's it got to do with the rock business?" Roger Daltrey branded a hypocrite over anti-Brexit letter | The New European Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron99 Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 (edited) It must be some kind of record? We've gone a whole 24 hours plus on this thread without anyone posting (moaning). Well I'll start you all off for the day. Some of you aren't going to like the fact that Nissan are happy with the UK's Brexit deal with the EU & that they're here for the long term, with thousands of jobs, both at the Sunderland plant & ancillary industries secured. "Japanese car maker Nissan has told the BBC its Sunderland plant is secure for the long term as a result of the trade deal reached between the UK and the EU. It said it will move additional battery production close to the plant where it has 6,000 direct employees and supports nearly 70,000 jobs in the supply chain." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/business-55757930 Despite Project Fear postings, hundreds of pages back & months ago the when some here predicted that Sunderland would be an example of a post Brexit, unemployment abyss. No doubt we'll be treated on here to baseless conspiracy theories for Nissan carrying on trading? I'm looking forward to "Well they've been promised millions of secret Govt money just to stay" or "Well the Govt are going to scrap all the labour laws, so even if someone loose an arm on the production line, they'll be given a sticking plaster & told to get back to work." There you go, I've started you off. I'm sure many will come up with more imaginative reasons why Nissan are happy to keep manufacturing in Sunderland? Off you go, have a nice day. Looks the workers of Sunderland will be having a rosy post Brexit future, much to the disappointment to many on here?

Looks the workers of Sunderland will be having a rosy post Brexit future, much to the disappointment to many on here? Of course we are delighted that Nissan have committed investment In the U.K. They have been able to do so because of the absence of tariffs. The fears of many were based on the danger of a No Deal Brexit and those who were prepared to settle for WTO rules. Glad to see that one crisis has been averted,but its more than a stretch to say that this announcement is a result of Brexit. There are many instances of the negative instances in fishing,music import,export,customs duties,transport issues that have to be negotiated. I will share your joy when you can come up with businesses that are booming BECAUSE of our new found freedoms.

Brexit needs to show it can deliver things better than before, rather than just maintaining things as they were. As yet there is no evidence of that.

Delbow Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 (edited) I'm glad that Sunderland are no worse off than before for car jobs. I've also decided that the impact on fishing is good, because only ⅓ of species in British waters are not overfished. I hope they all go bust, then I might think Brexit was worth it.

hauxwell Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Good news Nissan has got confidence in the UK economy. It’s said it will also move battery production from Japan to Sunderland possibly creating more jobs. https://www.eveningexpress.co.uk/motoring/nissan-investment-in-uk-post-brexit-a-great-vote-of-confidence-says-pm/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
