The Brexit Thread
I don't think anyone disputes the right for the British to patrol their coastline, but Boris threatening to send in the gunboats during negotiations might not be the best strategy.
IIRC Rinkals is a British citizen and has never been a South African one so maybe that post is somewhat misguided

People (and the tabloids) are willfully misinterpreting the Navy's role here - they're on standby to police the waters in the event that they need to on January 1st.

Don't get me wrong, I hate the thought of gun boats and the timing of the release of this info is not coincidental.Calculon wrote: Sun Dec 13, 2020 3:12 pm I don't think anyone disputes the right for the British to patrol their coastline, but Boris threatening to send in the gunboats during negotiations might not be the best strategy.

However there has been a lot of debate about how the UK intends to police is waters and now we know.
Rinkals isn't South African?
Is this true Rinkals?
Apologies, just seemed obvious he was.....

How are the navy on standby to suddenly magic resources into being? Or if we are going to police our waters what are we going to stop doing? Also how much will this cost above the work we'd already consider BAU, Russian submersibles/drones and the like in terms of patrolling our waters? Will that extra cost be met by extra tax on the fishing industry?Paddington Bear wrote: Sun Dec 13, 2020 3:19 pmPeople (and the tabloids) are willfully misinterpreting the Navy's role here - they're on standby to police the waters in the event that they need to on January 1st.

Merkel not involved in negotiations...
Who to trust, Merkel, or anonymous sources leaking to the Mail? Toughie.
Of course just to add into the mix, fisheries protection is a devolved matter in Scotland, which is the majority of UK waters. It’s the responsibility of Marine Scotland through the three Marine Protection vessels based at Rosyth.
And are there two g’s in Bugger Off?

The British negotiating team have spent the last few years assuming they'd be talking direct to Merkel and probably Macron. Our experience of talking to the EU has been talking to the nations leaders direct as an EU member, and they simply hadn't considered we were leaving and we'd thus be a 3rd party left talking to the EU. A swing and a miss on our part

Waste of nearly 4 years. Should have just left at the end of 2016. We’d have worked out the kinks by now.

Tried and failed.

No idea. If you want to talk about how we should have a larger Navy you’ll find me to be a highly receptive audience, however fishery protection is a non controversial use of said Navy and would be a bigger mission in a no deal scenario.

I applied for and was granted South African citizenship (on the basis of ancestory) on my return to South Africa in 2004.
I hold Dual Nationality.
But yes.
I'm not sure how effective South African naval patrols are and I think we bedevilled by Russian and Chinese factory ships indulging in overfishing. Certainly Namibia has a big problem in this regard.
However, the UK has options other than naval warfare against supposedly friendly allies.

I can see it now; the Bumblecunt will give a tub thumping speech about Britannia ruling the waves, & commission 40 new patrol vessels, for mere billions; & weeks before the last of them slides down the slipway; the UK will sign a deal with the EU; & they'll end up getting sold for scrap ..... meanwhile half the F-35s will be grounded, because the Navy hasn't got money for spares for them .....Rinkals wrote: Sun Dec 13, 2020 9:03 pmIncorrect.Calculon wrote: Sun Dec 13, 2020 3:12 pm I don't think anyone disputes the right for the British to patrol their coastline, but Boris threatening to send in the gunboats during negotiations might not be the best strategy.

Ok - we have reached peak shitshow now! Sending in the gunboats is the last straw. Its almost as if the Blonde Bumblecunt and his Brexit Ultras have watched Passport to Pimlico and are using it as a script but didnt have the patience to watch it to the end. OK we are not quite at the stage or airlifting pigs in or getting our milk from a hose but the parallels are uncanny. Do you think they realise it was an allegorical take of the dangers of 'freedom' and becoming a deregulated and trading mess? Pimlico, or Burgandy as they rename it, quickly becomes the laughing stock of the world. Its almost as if the film makers saw Brexit coming? Maybe they did?
Is one pessimistic take on what is going to happen. I was listening to one utterly spineless buffoon on Radio 2 today practically crying who are we going to sell to? Who are we going to buy from? Well the answer is exactly as before but some conditions will have changed and if the stuff we bought before is now too expensive we will either buy it from elsewhere, cough up, or replace with an alternative.

Exactly fucking this.
Most business in international trade are 6-12 months ahead on their order books, many have written tariff (if applied) into these orders already. Is Fishfoodie one of those who genuinely believes trade actually will stop?
A good example of this view is they believe trade will stop AND they’ll be queues at the ports. Have they not realised both are unlikely to be true,

Oh, and this is for NL.....
Felixstowe is on about 40% capacity right now due to staffing .....
Containers are off the charts expensive in Asia as there is a huge imbalance with containers being stuck here in Europe ....
Partially this has been caused by Govt UK who currently have 11,000 20 footers sitting unpacked full of PPE from China.

Obviously there is British milk and there is EU milk. Apparently we produce 77% of the total milk we need for all dairy production. Dairy products are subject to a c40% tariff under WTO rules. However Ireland is a big producer so perhaps we can depend on them to ride to the rescue?

40% onto 23% of the milk supply would be an overall increase in cost of about 9% for milk. However, I'm not sure how much of the UK supply comes from NI, and if that might distort things either way.dpedin wrote: Tue Dec 15, 2020 10:10 amObviously there is British milk and there is EU milk.

approx 14 % of UK dairy is imported. Although 2019 UK had a trade surplus.dpedin wrote: Tue Dec 15, 2020 10:10 amObviously there is British milk and there is EU milk. Apparently we produce 77% of the total milk we need for all dairy production. Dairy products are subject to a c40% tariff under WTO rules. However Ireland is a big producer so perhaps we can depend on them to ride to the rescue?

We have a deficit in butter and cheese and a surplus of cream, raw milk and milk powder
18.3% is the WTO tariff for EU imports and 14.2% is the tariff for UK exports
The main imports of milk products from EU is butter and cheese which can be sourced from anywhere.
