Westminstenders: Move Your Business To The EU

[RedToothBrush]

The government is advising people to move their businesses to the EU to avoid UK taxation and red tape.

Why would you do this?

For the interests of the uk?

Or is it about power WITHIN the uk?

If only they realised the UK is paying for it ....

The Festival is described as a showcase for “the UK’s unique strengths in creativity and innovation”

Would that be creativity and innovation in lying and subterfuge?

Who has just tweeted the following

We must reject protectionism, narrow nationalism & disinformation that can divide us & hinder our response to this common threat

Great to talk to @ChathamHouse about the future of global health

Without even the slightest hint of irony nor shame.

Congrats America, You’re Not the Dumbest Country in The World Anymore. Britain Is.

"Britain is the only country in the world — the only one I can think of in modern history — amazingly, comically, painfully dumb enough to impose sanctions on itself. "

Red Hunt or Gove?

RTB - Boris or Matt Hancock?

It's Hatty Mancock, isn't it?

Have a huge work deadline looming, so just rushing in to say merci! and PMK with my pal Michael Govern Ready's latest pithy comment on Failing Grayling:

Indeed it is Hancock.

Apparently a major address to nation ( probably about misreporting about the Astra Zenica vacinne only being 8% effective in those over 65) and maybe about travel quarantine after the bragging of how many jabs have been done. No doubt nowt about latest figures of 104,000 dead of Covid now.

Link from your link;

The Conservatives have taken a five point lead over Labour in the polls thanks to a ‘vaccine bounce’.

Imagine how far ahead they'd be if they weren't killing people

Are you sure the guy in your link knows what he is talking about?

What’s the upshot likely to be for Britain? The entire country’s vaccination program is likely to fail.

Why do you find that amusing?

I doubt if it's been peer reviewed. Doesn't mean there's no merit to it. We are too early to know. A needle in the arm doesn't result in a successful vaccination program. Only fewer deaths does that.

It's irony, mixed with despair and sadness.

🐿 In 1962, the Tanganyika laughter epidemic broke out starting at a girls’ boarding school in what is now Tanzania, and spreading to surrounding schools and villages. The symptoms, in addition to uncontrollable laughing, included fainting, flatulence, respiratory problems, rashes, crying and screaming - this lasted from hours to weeks. By the time the epidemic died down 18 months later, about 1000 people had been affected. Therefore, ToryBrexitannian polling indicates that the Willy are somehow correct about something-or-other and this means something-or-other. 🐿

I think the COVID/vaccine part of that article isn't it's strongest section - the tone is trying to be bitter/sarcastic/entertaining but it doesn't quite do it for me because the premises are unverified or unverifiable.

On the Brexit side it's pretty spot on, though. Shame it missed mentioning the fish and cheese disasters, but otherwise a neat dissection of the utter cockup that is Brexit.

Those poor hedgehogs. What on earth did our native animal do to deserve Grayling's help?

A commercial cheesemaker in Cheshire ...
To save his business he will now have to switch a £1m investment he was planning to make in a new distribution centre in Macclesfield to the EU, with the loss of 20 jobs and tax revenue to the UK.

The cheesemaker was interviewed on LBC radio yesterday morning. Whilst he was still grumbling about red tape and plans to open another warehouse in the EU (to supply private purchasers - apparently supplying EU wholesalers from the UK would still be cost effective) he was at great pains to stress that the Macclesfield investment was still going ahead. He claimed that he was misquoted by the newspapers.

The wine importer (mentioned on here a few days ago) was interviewed as well. When asked if his company would still be here next year he confidently replied it would...

It seems that both of them had made slightly hasty statements [about deserting the UK] last week.

I don't think I have seen this discussed here..... I find this quite sinister

I heard that interview Clav - he didn't say the investment was going ahead - he said they weren't shutting the Macclesfield plant/distribution Center.

Wine importer has been very clear he will be here next year (but in 10years) - but the consumer will have to shoulder the extra costs - not winning in my book....

So the government now offering £2K to EU nationals to return to their countries?

What a trading bloc wanting to attract workers to further its economy, seems fairly sensible to me, and if they hadnt been demonised since 2016, remember fuck business and theyll need us more than we need them, turns out, not so much, Im sure those workers would want to stay where they were, nothing like an English government to fuck over every other nation in the UK though
