It was revealed on Thursday that the Scottish Government is still 100 officers short – with just weeks to go until Brexit. MPs are demanding answers as to why there is a shortage, given Holyrood has received more than £100 million from the Treasury over the last three years to prepare for such things." https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/news/politics/uk-politics/2682145/brexit-scottish-fish-producers-hit-by-ministers-recruitment-mess/ Vogie, you didn't change your rhetoric after the deal was made, you steel finger pointing at somebody else.... same same but different, before you use to blame the EU for anything and everything but now you go after the Scots " it's not us it's them " 555 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was all project fear remember? Maybe if the government had explained to them before it happened the would have been better prepared. But that would have meant admiting Brexit was not the promised sunlight uplands, but something that had the potential to bankrupt every single one of them. It's only a problem because of incompetence in Scotland and the EU. In fact one wonders if both parties have not made it deliberately so. Imports from EU are not facing this problem due to the UK just playing a common sense game. As I say, one side wants free trade the other not. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I say, one side wants free trade the other not. What the Brexiters and the British Government have failed to realize is that the sanctity of the single market is paramount to the EU. They are not going to allow us to breach it just because we couldn't be bothered getting ready in time, this is what the transition period was for. They did prepare and get ready, we didn't. But our government preferred to try brinkmanship by stretching the talks out until the last moment - and then having to concede when the EU didn't blink. The government should have known that whatever deal was struck, all this new bureaucracy was going to be needed, it's the inevitable consequence of leaving the SM and CU. But they wouldn't tell people that as it would have weakened their negotiating position. UK gov have given incoming shipments 6 months grace simply because they are not yet ready - they haven't recruited and trained the staff yet for a start. In doing this they are in breach of WTO rules - so would the EU be if they did not enforce the rules. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(which excludes 80% of the UK economy based on services)... well then you should have nothing to complain about now. In a domestic market (which tends to be the free-est)... the federal state is usually responsible for setting up most of the common standards and regulations that all members who are part of that domestic market must follow. EU is a bit of a hybrid, but effectively the EU Common Market does effectively the same thing - but does allow more leeway than would be in a typical country. These are not add-ons, these are the fundamental regulations that ensure a common standard to ensure a more fair marketplace across all participants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brexit: Fisheries minister did not read deal as she was ‘very busy organising local Nativity trail’ Fishing minister Victoria Prentis, appearing before a House of Lords committee, admitted “things are tricky at the moment” but said her team is “working hard” to resolve issues as they arose. During her appearance Ms Prentis raised eyebrows by telling peers she did not read the fisheries deal when it was published on Christmas Eve because she was “very busy organising the local Nativity trail”.

Hi from France Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 the interesting thing is that delays and paperwork are in fact much worse than tariffs Quote Scottish fishing has been plunged into crisis, as lorry-loads of live seafood and fresh fish – from salmon to monkfish and langoustines – destined for shops and restaurants in France, Spain and other countries have been rejected because they are taking too long to arrive. the good news is: Michael Gove will take action Quote The Cabinet Office minister, Michael Gove, told MPs that Britain needed to secure easy access to Europe for the Scottish seafood industry. “[Regarding] the specific issue of seafood supplies, because of their perishable nature it’s absolutely vital that we ensure the smoothest possible access to European and other markets,” he said in parliament. so is he going to change path ? https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2021/jan/13/fresh-seafood-exports-scotland-eu-halted-fishing-brexit Our Brexiteers posters are still either very happy or blaming anyone but themselves, but I'm not sure scottish tories fishermen are so satisfied with Brexit now 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not about what the speaker recognises as contempt, this is about the remainers imagining him being contemptious. Don't worry Sandy it is human nature to be biased, sometimes if someone says what you don't want to hear it may be considered as prejudiced when in fact they are just being honest. But I think most people would agree that no-one on gods earth was as biased as John Bercow, why would an ex labour MP like Lindsey Hoyle be biased towards the Tories, I just hope now you can realise how the leavers felt when Bercow tried to stifle a democratic referendum.

Popular Post 7by7 Posted January 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 14, 2021 Despite what some haver said, this is not a problem dreamed up by or the fault of the SNP. It effects people from all parts of the UK. Brexit: 'My £50,000 shellfish lorry was delayed for 30 hours' Quote A Welsh shellfish wholesaler says she is worried for her future after nearly £50,000 of lobsters, prawns and crabs were delayed for more than 30 hours on a lorry to Spain..... Until 1 January, when the new trading deal came into effect, 90% of Welsh shellfish was being exported to the EU - but the industry relies on being able to export to the continent as quickly as possible to keep the produce alive. It's not just her Quote On the Menai Strait, James Wilson of Deepdock Ltd has stopped sending live mussels to the Netherlands until he sees how the new trading relationship between the UK and the EU works out in practice. "We'll just have to see how much the bureaucracy costs and assess the viability of the trade going forward," he said. The trader said only one document had to be filled in in the past. "A colleague sent a load out last week and he had to send 41 bits of paper with his load," he said. Every bag of mussels has to have its own documentation. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7by7 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Tory MPs from fishing areas criticise government over Brexit red tape Quote During an urgent question on fishing, Eustice heard sustained criticism and concern over the situation from a number of Tories, including Douglas Ross, the leader of the Scottish Conservatives. Ross said he had been contacted by fishing workers in his Moray constituency and around Scotland, “raising their serious concerns and frustrations about the current situation”. More than half a dozen English Conservative MPs representing coastal areas also expressed worries, with Steve Double, the MP for St Austell and Newquay in Cornwall, saying his local fleets “benefit little from this deal”. Sheryll Murray, the South East Cornwall MP, quoted a local fishing business owner who said border red tape was “posing a real threat to his business”.
