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?

🐿🐿🐿🐿🐿
A fucking pittance to the billions that we've lost but yeah OK 👌

£10billion or as financiers now call it "a DUP".

You'd need a few hundred of those to even stay level.

😪😪😪😪

Alternatively, £10 billion is one thirtieth of "a Brexit" (gross)

and one seventh of "a Brexit" (nett)

Pigs and chickens now.

Peter Foster reporting in the FT that pig farmers are losing money because they can't get their pigs to markets so they (a) are losing income and (b) have to feed the pigs and feed costs are rising.

Meanwhile, because the confederacy of dunces that passes for a government is not doing border controls, the market is being flooded with cheap imports.

Much the same thing is happening to chickens.

I suppose this means that pigs would have voted for Brexit

Flying pigs 🐖

Meanwhile, because the confederacy of dunces that passes for a government is not doing border controls, the market is being flooded with cheap imports.

Plus whatever else sneaks in. Bearing in mind the UKs disconnection from European policing, there are plenty of easy ways fully automatic weapons could have already made their way into the UK.

We can only hope the boneheads that like to play with such things Darwin themselves before they can do any real harm.

Mind you, against a backdrop of 100,000 dead what's a few more ? Is it C-19 or AK-47 ?

But is your comment because being a signatory to the ECHR underpins the GFA?

Yes. The GFA is a barrier to leaving the ECHR (which explains some of the opposition to the GFA in Tory ranks).

They tried to leave the ECHR when Grayling was justice sec & predictably came up against this barrier. This was a while back, before Brexit, when David Allen Green was starting to get a following (this was why I started following him in fact).

Unlike the Brexitannian hero Churchill, apparently all that actual True BeLeavers can offer us is whataboutery, word clouds and 🐿🐿🐿.

Pathetic, really.

Flying pigs

Maybe not flying but not dead. We have found our Brexit dividend. Better hope the pigs don't spend it all at once.

Sooo pathetic

You still haven't explained how giving more trade to bankers on Wall Street benefits bankers in Paris and Frankfurt.

I think it means that amazingly, the Tories have found another way to fuck them.

Where's JRM to tell us how happy they are ?

Pathetic that Brexitannian "success" consists of a mixture of:

• Things which are approximately replicating stuff we had whilst in the EU anyway;
• Things which are detrimental to us in favour of others, so long as the favour is not to the EU but to any other entity;
• Things which aren't as bad as the worst possible thing;
• Look! A squirrel!

“We are seeing a bureaucracy overload and it is already having a big impact on the pig sector,” NPA chief executive Zoe Davies said.

“This is partly an inevitable consequence of Brexit–we always knew it would mean more red tape, checks and delays. But there is a political element, too. Why are 30% of all UK consignments to the EU are being checked? This is far more than many other Third Country exporters to the EU - for New Zealand, for example, the figure is 1%.”

I expect the pigs are happier than they would be in salami.

PM too slow to act throughout Covid pandemic, says Starmer

www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jan/27/pm-too-slow-to-act-throughout-covid-pandemic-says-starmer

Appearing at prime minister’s questions via video link from home, where he has been isolating, the Labour leader argued that Johnson had been slow on a number of issues throughout the crisis, including imposing lockdowns, providing PPE to frontline workers, protecting care homes, and getting test-and-trace efforts working.

Well said Captain Obvious, well said smfh

For those who have not been paying attention, New Zealand has an agreement with the EU on SPS checks. The U.K. does not.

Hence, it is perfectly normal for there to be more sanitary checks on British pigs than on New Zealand lambs.

The U.K. could have asked for an agreement like the one with New Zealand but it would have had to sign up to maintaining food standards.

Can I smell dead squirrel?

It's rather concerning that the pig association people don't know that .

Frankfurt and Paris don’t need to gain for the UK to lose bigly.

The current UK equivalence is due to be reviewed at the end of June 2022 - the EU has already stated that, over this 18-month period, it will examine whether it is desirable to continue to recognise UK clearing houses in view of the systemic importance of their activity.

So if Wall Street clearing houses filch enough business from the UK, it won’t be worth the EU’s while to continue equivalence with the UK.

Keir Starmer's idea to vaccinate teachers at half-term (and push other groups down the priority list) hasn't gone down well from the comments in this BBC article;
