I would not trust the scottish tories to give an unbiased opinion. I have no idea what your posting about unless you trying to make a joke Suggest you read the article again Checks in Scotland are performed by Scottish Government agencies, and Jimmy Buchan of the Scottish Seafood Association said that a check that should take no more than one hour “is taking nearly five hours.” He added: “The problem is definitely in Scotland, at the hubs prior to dispatch. It’s the one thing that we have continuously asked Government, are they ready? They kept asking us, were we ready? And we are ready, but it appears that Government are not.” https://dailybusinessgroup.co.uk/2021/01/snp-hindering-fish-exporters-to-score-brexit-points/ 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post sandyf Posted January 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 10, 2021 22 hours ago, Patong2021 said: Maybe Scottish people should ask the rest of the world how it is done? USA and Canada sell much seafood to the EU and Asia for decades. They can deliver fresh shellfish including lobster to EU overnight. Maybe lady from SNP should concentrate on this and not her dreams of a magical land where she can be princess. Scotland does sell fresh seafood to other countries but give one good reason why they should have their nearest and largest customer taken away by Westminster. I remember, it is what England wanted. 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post robblok Posted January 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 10, 2021 A downside to Brexit for the fishing industry. Who would have imagined that. Certainly not the Brexiteers who keep insisting everything is fine even though these articles tell otherwise. Must be nice living with blinkers on just labeling news that you don't like as fake. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post RuamRudy Posted January 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 10, 2021 Could this simply be a case of the Tories getting in early with blaming others for the mess of their own disastrous, unwanted English Nationalist brexit? Gove expects Brexit delays at the border with France and Ireland to worsen Cabinet minister Michael Gove expects delays at the border between the UK and the European Union “to get worse before they get better”. A high number of vehicles travelling from the UK to France have been refused entry or delayed due to paperwork issues after Brexit, logistics group DFDS said earier today. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post vogie Posted January 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 10, 2021 The education system in Scotland (thanks to the SNP) has fallen so low they seem incapable or unwilling to perform the basic of paperwork, another nail for Mrs Sturgeons coffin. The SNP don’t seem to be lifting a finger. How can they plausibly claim that Food Standards Scotland have enough resources when industry experts are telling us that checks in Scotland are taking five times as long as they should? “It’s a sad fact that the government in Edinburgh are crossing their fingers and hoping for failure so they can try to score political points, instead of doing their job and giving the Scottish fishing industry all the necessary resources. “Funding provided to the SNP for Brexit preparations, alongside funding for business support in general, have gone unspent. The SNP are doing the bare minimum and it’s creating huge issues. “Teething problems were always going to happen but the lack of preparation on the SNP’s part is a disgrace. Processors have taken every care to ensure all their paperwork is in order yet still they face unacceptable delays – delays the Scottish Government must tackle as a matter of urgency.” https://dailybusinessgroup.co.uk/2021/01/snp-hindering-fish-exporters-to-score-brexit-points/ 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember some years ago Lidl had lobsters at a reasonable price and nobody bought them, I bought one when they were reduced quite substantially but even then they weren't selling well. That's probably because it was Lidl. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
