I love the way the local Al Beeb (and ITV Meridian, who are becoming just as left wing lately), put a spin on their daily anti Brexit story.
Last night on both channels, the fishermen and Farage on the Thames were apparently "protesting against Brexit"....
I mean really? It never dawned on them that they might be protesting against the non-Brexit which Remainer May is capitulating to at every opportunity.
They had a French person commenting, that at present the French and Dutch fishermen spend at least half of their time fishing in British territorial waters and if we tried to regain control of our own waters, it would be horrible because the French (and to some degree the Dutch) would all try to fish in French waters for a change..
That's if we have any fish left after the EU allowed the Dutch to electrocute vast numbers of our fish stock in their "little trial" to piss of the British pre Brexit. ____________________ TZR250 2MA road, TZR250 1KT road, TZR250 2MA race, TDR250, YZF-750R Boost colours.

I'm suspicious of how the franco/dutch firm were able to undercut the UK bid by 50m?? Do I think the EU is topping them up
(partially with OUR money) to ENSURE the contract goes to an EU firm? I couldn't possibly comment.
I do fail to see why we are abiding by their rules (which seem to blatantly favour them) at all? As we slowly, painfully,
clumsily, repeatedly roll over in the general direction of the exit (Or is that just the broom cupboard?)managing to secure
completely NOTHING for the UK, just all the exact same shit and absolutely none of the glitter?? ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

UK passports couldn't be made in house... because the UK government doesn't have a facility or a wholly owned company to produce them. Unlike the French government which has a wholly owned state firm that can produce them... therefore they didn't need to put them out to tender. Therefore they must be put out to tender to a private company as there was no other choice.
The question is of course did De La Rue put in too high of a bid and therefore wasn't chosen? Remembering of course it was a sealed bid.
Quite ironically it actually shows the true colours of people AND at the same time exposes some of the contradictions of the positions people hold.
Quite simply it asks the question.
Are we aiming for protectionism or globalisation?
In that oh no the EU is protectionist!!! We must leave!! Oh no we must protect UK industries...
So which one is it? Protectionist or globalist it is impossible to sit in both positions.
Open up and get strip mined of all UK industry or don't open up and go protectionist... ____________________ Spain 2008France 2007Big one 2009 We all die.

Royal mint makes banknotes, can't see how passports are all that different tbh.
Made of paper/plastic. Check.
Printed. Check.
Security features. Check.
Not that dissimilar to what they are already making, they would only be making blank passports after all.
The personal info is added to blank documents they already have in stock post application. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

Cut off their ONLY warm water port? And you're essentially causing an embargo again which goes back to events similar to the run up to Pearl Harbor. It would be like Argentina parking battleships outside Felixstowe and preventing container ships moving in you'd be totally OK with that right? |

My understanding is that Le Frogs simply declared that they were a national security issue, and zo zey would do whazzever ze liked, oui, oui.
We could do exactly the same, if we wanted. We lack the will, not the means.

Oh the irony when the UK doesn't get a trade deal on tariffs for importing passports, than all UK passports will be left somewhere in a desolate dark wet warehouse in France, and nobody will be able to go and get them because they haven’t got a passport, imagine that

So now our Eastern European pals are waking up to the fact the UK more valuable to them than Brussels Euro-fanatics butthurts.
Well played Theresa.
A couple of dead(ish) Russians and a copper on early retirement or a mega sicknote is a small price to pay.
Now lets move on and look at how we can get the north American colonies back. |

Only if you don't factor in the cost of lost taxation, money leaving the economy, and the benefits paid to people who've lost their jobs.
Then it's a steal!

Cheaper if you look at the headline figures, not the cost to the economy.
And not when it comes to matters of national security.
Which it really does, in this case. We still have income tax, therefore we must be at war with France. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.
