So, err... if we ever want to rejoin the EU we'd need:

The Tories to call an early election and commit electoral suicide, e.g. promise loads of shit for free and ban car boot sales and gardening.

Get in a new government that can get their act together long enough to agree the wording of a new referendum.

Get the populous to vote "YES" to rejoining the EU.

Get the request accepted by the >26 states (might be more by then.)

Spend years negotiating the terms of re-entry.

Okay chaps, what shall we do in the intervening 20 years or so while we wait for the EU Utopia to return?

Quell the Scots, repel the Irish hordes, rebuild whatever shit they decide to blow up, learn French, make sure the Welsh get enough sheep to keep them happy - did I miss anything? Laughing

Isn't it a bit ironic, we have apparently left something that governed with us as a non elected body, only to, be governed, by, another non elected body, well, Dominic Cummings, predominently? I don't remember his name being on the ballot paper?

France will be a basket case like Greece well before that. They'd have us, well our money, in a second because Germany is going to get pissed off paying for everything at sometime.

Indeed. I think they'd have just London back if they could, they don't give a damn about the British people. I don't think the EU gives much of a damn about people generally. Just as long as their misguided project stays on track.

Do you know, I think it just possible that the EU inadvertently unites the people of Europe in a way they never intended. A much better way.

Enter reality:

Quote:
Under 10m boats, which account for 80% of all UK vessels, are being forced to use the Catch Recording App in a bid to collect more detailed information on how much fish is being caught by small-scale fishermen.

Those that do not use it risk a criminal record and fines up to £100,000.

The Coastal Producers Organisation, representing close to 280 fishermen who operate out of under 10m boats, said the threat of criminalisation was a danger to the future of fishing communities.

"Just when the UK's fleet of long-suffering day boat fishermen were expecting to finally catch a break with a prospective Brexit bonus, instead they're getting torpedoed by the MMO, which has randomly introduced its Catch App," chief executive Jim Pettipher told the PA news agency.

"No other boats under 10m in Europe are subject to this regime, nor even in Scotland or Wales. It's madness."

"At the very moment when we have left the EU and its real or imagined burdens, the government is implementing the biggest piece of red tape seen by the industry.

"This is not an EU decision, this is a UK decision. You couldn't make it up."

Last two PMs sort-of-slithered into power due to incompetence in their predecessor.

Unlike elected his general election.

Anyone can predict doom and gloom. They don't even have to get it right. Harder is making a positive contribution to the future.

This /\

I believe today's world affairs turn at a pace much faster than yesterday's politics can cope with.

The days when Churchill and Co. could sit and wait are over.

It's all a bit of a crap game today.

We've not even began to discuss the economic effects of an end to fossil fuel use.
This is 100% going to happen bit we still treat it as some bridge we will cross when we get to it.

It's not far off. 10-20 years. Or maybe sooner.

Unless we start a proper WWIII.

The New European Laughing Not that they are biased.

They don't say that the data rules for what has to be declared came in about 8 years ago, only apply to inshore boats under 10m, and the app to declare catch replaces paper records which needed to be written anyway, and that this will improve montioring and recording as well as taking less time to do.

Edit: Here you, from Hansard 06 February 2020 (Volume 671):


Ruth Jones (Newport West) (Lab): This Government have made much of the fact that we are leaving the EU and all its bureaucratic processes, but only to replace it with the catch app, a far more complex system for smaller fishing boats. Will the Secretary of State instruct the Marine Management Organisation to change the new catch app and remove the risk of criminality, which is causing so much anxiety for fishers in our coastal communities?

The Minister of State, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (George Eustice): I have met officials on that matter. The reason we introduced the catch app is that, if we want to improve our management of the inshore fleet and offer fishermen, say, three months’ catch opportunities at a time, or even move to an effort-based regime, we need better, more accurate catch data. Those rules already apply to the over-12 metres and will in future apply to the under-12s as well.

I think it's been s
Discussed on BCF previously (I'm sure I rattled on about it.)

Thorium Nuclear reactor power.

Thorium is not as 'reactive' as uranium so control is not as critical. (Critical as in Mass)

But the nuclear power industry has put all the investment into uranium. (Just coz of The Bomb).

Thorium is very plausible but would require a bit of an about turn by government and industry to develop the technology (equipment etc) to make it economically viable.
Nuclear Energy IS the simplest energy but requires such stringent management that it has a habit of making more problems than it solves. (Apart from enrichment to make bombs that Wank Cuntries use asnransom chips.)

Green is making some ground even though the press have reported that it's a flop.
I have my foil hat on now.
The existing Energy Suppliers use fossil fuels. They have infrastuctures in existence to run their businesses off of fossil fuels.
They are reluctant to find the means to turn their industry around. Clever thinkers who can make plans and the decisions needed for radical change.
So they bad-mouth green energy. (Its a sort of competitor.)

Ultimately the consumer would pay the costs but no one of the producers are willing to invest in a business that gets no return on investment for shareholders until the shareholders are die-ed.
