Brexit - a reality check!

[Mottie]

UK have not yet implemented the checks on imports from EU. It's a free-for-all bringing stuff into UK.

Yet the supermarkets don’t buy from them. Didn’t need to before we left the EU. Don’t need to now.

So you are only seeing British produce in your local Sainsburys, then? I don't think so. Last week our capsicums came from Spain, the cherry tomatoes were Italian, the courgettes were French. Where are those countries, then? Oh, in the EU.

No. See my post #269 which screenshots another post I made three years ago.

THREE years ago? That's a bit out of date...

Anyway Brexit, and how is the UK doing? Well, we have the highest inflation in the G7, the lowest economic growth in the G7, we are the only advanced economy not to recover GDP compared to the pre-COVID times (even Russia managed that for a time) - so there must be something extra affecting the UK which isn't affecting other advanced economies. What could that be? Oh yes, Brexit. Even the Bank if England and the Office fir Budgetary Responsibility site Brexit as a factor in depressing our economy. They are obviously traitors to the cause and have been corrupted by the dastardly EU.

are these more of your facts?

The 2 giga factories are not going well. British Volt for instance hasn't really got a product. Their brief is make better and cheaper. Something may be being built for that aspect. Scaling up to giga ...........................????

The latest aim with the other appears to get an established manufacturer to build a plant here. Some sort of financial incentive.

Giga battery factories need giga sales. Currently it's not clear where things are in this respect. The aim is pure EV's with range - currently a rather expensive option and infrastructure still has issues. One view about directly replacing what we currently drive with EV's with similar performance levels is that the national grid just isn't up to it. Then there is actual supply capability.

I thought I had read good news on Rolls Royce and small scale nuclear. Actual orders. Further checks indicate orders from some company who is into the same idea. Poland wants some.

Well the UK will have to go back to the WW2 mentality

Dig for Britain Grow yer own

And Issue ration books

Prior to getting a ration book you will have to be assessed weight ect

Any one grossly over weight gets a half ration book

All habitual whingers will be designated as subversives

A government working party is to be sent to North Korea to seek advice on dealing with said subversives

Sad but true. Brits are never happier when they're whingeing. Voting against their interests gives them plenty to whinge about.

Anyway, which decade is this 'oven ready' US deal arriving. 30s, 40s? 50s??? Doris may have hope for a ready meal, but seems like Uncle Joe put the deal in a slow cooker.

You will need a visa for travel to EU

That is good, shows that Britain is an independent Nation once again.

If we had nothing to whinge about, we would probably whinge about it.

You need to separate business from politics, the EU politicians talk about using trade as a weapon but trade wants trade not politics.
People in Britain want stuff, Europe has stuff, people in Europe wants to sell stuff, people in Britain want stuff.
What then is the problem.
