Bloody f’n Brexit , want to take the dog to NI with us for 3 weeks.

Now it’s an hours appointment at the vet for all the paperwork, they need 6 weeks notice for appointment and about £200!

Crikey Eve I've read about the vet passport but had yet to see how it panned out in practice. What a clusterfuck and to make our lives worse. Write a letter to the thuggish looking Lord Frost reminding him of the protocol he negotiated. Many dozens of highly experienced EU negotiators worked tirelessly on the agreement and protocol - us Davies and his smile and a fag packet and some harassed civil servants knowing it was s shambles and no doubt having to juggle covid resposibilities as well.

And here we are and the 'fun' has only just begun. You couldn't make it up and it would appear neither did they !

.... but he would probably have served at least one prison sentence by now.
Which, given the level of corruption he is condoning, is exactly where he should be.

Place marking. With my place cat. I’m a bit of a lurker on these threads. Very informative, thank you.
Dcat while not fussed about leaving the EU for travel purposes, is very peeved that he can’t always get his kibbles of choice from his servants due to shortages.

Are you sure about that?

DAERA Minister Edwin Poots MLA has instructed his officials to indefinitely allow all pet dogs, cats and ferrets to travel from Great Britain (GB) to Northern Ireland (NI) without checks while negotiations between the UK government (UKG) and European Union (EU) continue.

^"The majority of this audience here voted for Brexit. We select this audience very carefully to be representative..."Hmm

Peregrina · 08/10/2021 10:46

Chris Grey's blog spot.

It's illustrating to read this with the You Tube clip above where the two women celebrate Brexit because we can now make our own laws. Whereas this blogspot highlights the shift from Sovereignty to wages. The two women didn't say a peep about wages as far as I recall.

DGRossetti · 08/10/2021 10:47

Just remembered that the switch from DLA to PIP was consistently refuted to be about saving money, until a minister accidentally told a select committee that had been the purpose all along. And before that we were told the bedroom tax was about "saving money" - although it's cost more to administer than it ever saved.

Peregrina · 08/10/2021 10:50

Trust Cutnpastinova to jump in. Even if Poots has said that they won't implement the Protocol, it doesn't alter the fact that when we were in the EU, this issue barely needed to be thought about.

Dear thuggish looking Lord Frost…

I don't know how many they have in the audience, but if it's 100, then 52 Brexiters to 48 Remainers would just be a statement of fact. But it didn't sound like that. I liked the way she assumed the Brexit voter wasn't one!

I gave up on QT years ago, and BBC News always looks to me like the school bully's latest victim, desperately handing over the last of their pocket money. And offering to go home to get more.

vera99 · 08/10/2021 11:09

If you want to peep over the wall to have a look at how Brexiteer Boris lovers look and think - be warned she is not alone. Sad

When QT went from 4 to 5 guests it went to shit.

And the BBC as a whole has it's own agenda. And while Laura K is Boris "secret" squeeze I doubt we'll get much truth from them.

Anyone remember "The Long Johns" (Fortune and Wells) on Rory Bremner ?

Too close to the truth to be really funny ....

They absolutley nailed it!

@Peregrina

I do think blaming Russia and China is a slight improvement though. Once the EU is no longer the bogeyman-in-chief it might just help pave the way for eventual re-entry into the Single Market and Customs Union - a Norway plus situation, which for many of us would be a tolerable compromise.
Isn't that Farage campaign for?

Not when it highlights the UKs isolation ....

NEW: The gap between private and state school spending per pupil in England has more than doubled in the past decade.

Total state school spending per pupil in England dropped from £8,000 in 2009–10 to £7,100 in 2020–21. In that time, net private school fees rose from £11,100 to £13,600.
