bickster Posted December 6, 2021 Moderator Share Posted December 6, 2021 Action Man returns. 24 publishers (obviously they were all Remainers) turned down the opportunity to publish this, so he's had to self-publish. Anyone want to tell him real Spartans lost? What is that Omega doing in there?

ml1dch Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Obviously in practical terms for the people of Northern Ireland it's a good thing that the Government has meekly capitulated yet again rather than starting a fight. Must be a bit bruising for Brexit lunatics' ego though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xann Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 To compound the above. Quote Van drivers will be required to get new international operating licences if they want to travel back and forth to the EU from May next year, the government has announced. The additional red tape will come into force next year alongside a series of further checks at Dover and other ports that were delayed three times in 2021 because of lack of preparation for Brexit in Great Britain. According to updates on the gov.uk website, anyone driving a van, a light commercial vehicle or any car towing a trailer will be required to have a “goods vehicle operator licence” to enter the EU, Iceland, Norway, Liechtenstein or Switzerland from May. The licence will cost van drivers up to £1,100, a significant burden for solo operators, industry leaders said. Drivers will have to fork out £257 in an application fee and a further £401 for the licence. Another £401 “continuation fee” will be payable every five years to retain the licence, according to gov.uk. The rules will hit small traders such as couriers or importers of wine or vintage and antique goods, the Road Haulage Association said. Rod McKenzie, the managing director of policy and public affairs at the RHA, said: “This is just more bureaucracy. It’s been flagged for some time but could be a problem for the one-man bands or small operators who are simply too busy running their business day to day to have noticed this.” Drivers will also need to assign a staff member or themselves as “transport manager” – a named individual to ensure the driver follows industry regulations and tax payments in the EU after Brexit. The person will either have to demonstrate they have managed fleets of vehicles for at least 10 years or will have to complete a course to qualify for a transport manager qualification. A slew of other rules in the UK will hit hauliers of all sizes from 1 January when EU exporters need to register for a goods vehicle movement service (GVMS) as full customs controls will apply to all goods moving in both directions between the EU and Great Britain.

Popular Post Genie Posted December 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 17, 2021 Just saw this and it’s hilarious, the editor must have told the reporter he needed to list 10 benefits of the new trade deal with Australia. It’s fair to say he/she struggled a bit. “Cheers”, “make a deal”, “working together” 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted December 17, 2021 Moderator Share Posted December 17, 2021 So you have a Free Trade Deal with another country and you have a Bonfire of Red Tape... but ... leaving the Free trade Deal that was EU membership was meant to.... let me think ...oh yes that was it... much less red tape. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it the total trade or the red tape savings? Is it in addition to existing trade or extra trade to be driven? WHAT DOES IT MEAN? They just throw figures in there that look great and sound brilliant without saying what they mean or how they have been calculated. But a great soundbyte for a Brexiteer to throw around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was fairly sure the £10bil of trade was both ways not us to them and it was also massively in their favour. We essentially gave them shitloads for sod all So its more like 2/30ths 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well thats Johnson, his staff, a lack of social distancing and a wine 'n' cheese in the Downing Street garden, May 2020 Tbh, it's probably quite safe but it's something the rest of us mere mortals were told we couldn't do...
