UK car production has more than halved since the Brexit vote. Vauxhall Ellesmere Port is a conversion to EV rather than additional production. "New plants popping up monthly" is a gross exaggeration. Is the UK fishing industry thriving on the back of this regaining of coastal waters,? Doesn't look like it from what I've read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wunt do because to many on here pull England down , To me we are the finest Country in the World and we do not need Germany or France or the rest to prop us up .

Shouting about how great England is, or Scotland, Wales, and NI for that matter, does absolutely nothing for the fishing industry, if that's what you're saying. It's well past time for positive, tangible actions from UK government, rather than this flag waving empty rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fishing industry was murdered years before Brexit by Ted Heath and his mob who allowed all and sundry to fish in our waters , Then the bloody EU popped up and promptly sent massive trawler ships into our waters that actually hoover all living creatures from the sea .Spain and Holland were the big culprits among others , but that don't matter to EU lovers does it . Now we are slowly taking our fishing grounds back when current agreements with the EU end . But many of our trawler men gave up trying years ago due to the bleeeeedin EU gangster trawlers . Now just a few risk their lives by carrying on . Go on defend the EU fishing policy thats left our seas empty . Can't wait to hear the crap .

Axe Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 (edited) 21 hours ago, m williamson said: That makes no sense whatsoever. As has already been pointed out to you you can drive, walk or cycle from other European countries into Norway, it's far more difficult to get to the UK. Immigration into this country has risen significantly since Brexit, many people from EU states that lived here and were contributing to the country with skills and taxes - such as Loob - have left, but there has been a lot more immigration from outside Europe. https://www.dw.com/en/uk-immigration-nearly-triples-despite-brexit-promises/a-63878757 Do I think Ireland is part of mainland Europe? No I don't, you didn't fully get what was written in the link did you? That is the legal definition for what constitutes Europe for insurance purposes. If you continue to read after the mention of Ireland it then goes on to specify mainland Europe separately, which includes Norway. It mentions Ireland specifically to make it clear that European cover would include the Republic, it then goes on to name the countries on the mainland of Europe. All your nitpicking has established is that both Norway and the Republic of Ireland are part of mainland Europe for insurance purposes. If you go on a travel guide website you will find Norway is not part of Mainland Europe 11 hours ago, L00b said: Trade-wise, in these post-Brexit days, it is so, more than ever before: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/feb/25/ports-france-ireland-brexit-cherbourg-rosslare And music-wise Australia is part of Europe thanks to the Eurovision song contest.

What is the government doing to stop supertrawlers coming into protected marine areas in UK waters, post-Brexit? Nothing. In fact, the amount of time spent in these areas by these type of vessel has increased massively post-Brexit. Quotas for cod and haddock, which are the fish that we generally eat in this country, quota halved in a post-Brexit deal with Norway. Let's not pretend that there are any sizeable Brexit benefits for the fishing industry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvey19 Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 (edited) There appears to be a constant criticism of our country’ s past by many of its population. Criticism is easy but constructive improvement harder. Pride in who we are and what we were seem to be looked on as faults instead of virtues. Politicians are belittled as a matter of course instead of respected for having been willing to represent others. Fault finding and sensationalism replace praise and objective thinking. Just look at the improvements in living conditions in our country over the past generations and feel proud Looking to the future is needed instead of constantly moaning about the past.
