Current Affairs EU In or Out

[nsno-chris]

Is it just indirectly via the EU, or do we not check anything coming in world-wide?

At present we enforce the controls on goods from Rest of World; the same as any eu country. We are basically still conducting enforcing EU food law via U.K. withdrawal bill.

The SPS checks in July were aimed at conducting those same checks on eu products. So meat products would require an official certificate (from a vet in the EU) and the products would be subject to official controls (SPS checks). This won’t be happening so goods can, and for the next 2-3 years, cross the border with no additional controls (exactly like when we were in the EU).

The issue that the U.K. has now left is that goods that come, say, Brazil (the meat scandal of a couple of years ago) can be transshipped via an EU country (they will evade EU checks because the final destination is the U.K. and the product is not entering the EU market) and enter Britain without going through checks here because we do not stop anything from the EU.

We could be a dumping ground for the rubbish that the EU won’t accept

Thanks. It's bound to be used and abused imo.

My head hurts. @peteblue hopefully you can translate for those of us not fully up to speed on the benefits of Brexit ?

I worked in the Irish Meat Hygiene Division of the Dept of Ag for 5 years. The EU Food and Hygiene Regulations which apply across the EU are very stringent. It includes lots of veterinary checks, compulsory vet presence in slaughter plants. If the UK takes its eye off the ball from a food hygiene point of view that would be very short sighted

Apparently it’s called taking back control of our borders, by not having any controls at all. A truly cunning plan that only these intellectual pygmies could have devised.

As the honourable minister for Brexit opportunities eloquently explains, the reason for not implementing the controls required to take back control, is that it would cost £1 billion if they did.

The port operating companies are now threatening to sue the Government for the £ millions of costs they have incurred, preparing to implement the controls that we apparently now daren’t implement because of the resulting cost to consumers.

Utter madness, that defies everything that was sold as justification for the lunatic scheme.

The few remaining zealots of the Brexit faith will no doubt continue to loyally defend their Etonian masters, with yet more deluded world leading vaccine and Ukraine whataboutery.

And there we have it another high priest fully admitting Brexit is an act of self harm. Imagine voting for this on pretence of having Brexit and then getting it done. They are literally laughing at you for being stupid.

What a disgrace. He’s a fool who has only got by in life due to a posh voice and a fundamental belief that he is better than the rest of the population.
He’s the perfect representation of what is wrong with society. If he had of been born on a council estate he’d be on the register for stealing pets and smell distinctly of glue and lighter fluid.

Inherited wealth and Eaton education gets you places beyond ability, educated fools with their hands on the leavers of power. And Rees-Mogg saying that to actually implement that Johnson and hotly tipped to be his predecessor Frost, who all claimed was a great triumph, would now be ‘an act of self-harm’, is the final wheel falling off their little red bus. They have run out of hubris, out of lies, now finally out of excuses. And is the disaster which was predicted.

Had to give up my U.K. license after moving to the eu. I’m glad that I had to go through all the bureaucracy and hassle and pay out a load of cash though in order to stop people in the U.K. getting conscripted into the eu army.
Is a small sacrifice

Small sacrifice for all the benefit the U.K. is getting in return.
