We're going to get bummed raw once Johnson and his shower of cunts get the No-Deal Brexit they've been angling for from Day One.

There will be a reason they're not giving any details on what they're agreeing with the "America First" regime.

 

“Either Britain has just given into the US here - which doesn’t bode well for how these talks will go - or they’re actually quite happy with these secrecy requirements because it will protect them from accountability for a trade deal which they know to be deeply unpopular.”

We might be quite peckish, too.

There is no real sign that Britain is approaching trade talks with the European Union with a plan to succeed and it appears set to blame any post-Brexit fallout on the economic shock from COVID-19, the EU’s trade chief said on Thursday.

The tortuous talks, now focused on setting new trading terms from 2021 when London’s status-quo transition period after Brexit ends, quickly hit an impasse when they resumed last month, according to EU diplomats and officials.

“Despite the urgency and enormity of the negotiating challenge, I am afraid we are only making very slow progress in the Brexit negotiations,” European Trade Commissioner Phil Hogan told Irish national broadcaster RTE.

 

“There is no real sign that our British friends are approaching the negotiations with a plan to succeed. I hope I am wrong, but I don’t think so,” he said.

“I think that the United Kingdom politicians and government have certainly decided that COVID is going to be blamed for all the fallout from Brexit and my perception of it is they don’t want to drag the negotiations out into 2021 because they can effectively blame COVID for everything.”

Tory neoliberal fundamentalists are going to force the TTIP-on-steds Trade Bill through Parliament, while everyone's attention is elsewhere.

Barry Gardiner is brilliant and it's outrageous that Starmer didn't feel the need to keep him in the cabinet.

I really wish Gardiner had stood for leader in place of Long-Bailey, think he would have had a much better chance.

Good to see BBC News tonight highlighting some of the times Boris Johnson insisted that there wouldn't be any sort of customs checks between Britain and Northern Ireland, before concluding that Johnson must have been "confused" or lying.

The news today is reporting that several migrant boats have been intercepted in the English Channel by UKBA and 65 men and women transferred to a migrant processing centre in Dover. 

 

Apparently, the French immigration folks began to track these migrant boats almost instantly after they left French land but made no effort to intercept them and just let them cross into British waters. 

 

I'm speculating a bit, but it makes you wonder if the French would have behaved in the same way if we were still in the EU? Have they decided to effectively say "fuck it, let them get on with it themselves, that's what they wanted!" 

[Bjornebye]

Farage posted a video on twitter yesterday of him kicking off about French boats guiding a migrant vessel into British waters. I'd like to have seen the migrants jump on his boat and rip his racist body into small pieces.

Well, this is a surprise... Good to see we're taking back control of immigration.

 

Immigration to UK from non-EU countries hit 45-year high in 2019, ONS says
The number of people moving to the UK long term from non-EU countries has hit a new record high, according to the latest estimates. As PA Media reports, last year immigration from non-EU countries rose to 404,000, the highest it has ever been since records began in 1975 when it was 93,000, data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) shows.

Net migration from outside the EU, the balance between the number of people entering and leaving the country, is also at its highest level (282,000) since citizenship information was first collected in 1975 (40,000). Both figures have continued to rise since 2013.

Meanwhile, EU net migration fell to 49,000, down from 75,000 recorded a year earlier and after hitting peaks of more than 200,000 in 2015.

For those on here concerned about our poor little farmers unable to fill vacancies because of our exit from the eu, Dominic Cummings father is one of them land owning farmers who allegedly received massive eu aid.

Didn't Iain Duncan Smith receive huge EU money for land that wasn't even used as farming land. Paul Dacre the daily mail editor in cunt at the time of the EU vote claimed over half a million quid in EU subsidies for a shooting range he owned. That's something that needs to stop tax payers money being divvied out by Mps and MEPs amongst each other like a mob racket. A lot of farming subsidies can only be claimed by owners of huge sums of land so smaller farms get fucked over. Politics is so corrupt it needs completely reforming with absolute transparency at the very front.

Yep.  Corrupt as sin but If it's the eu dishing out money to the super wealthy its generally overlooked.

The corruption is those claiming it, when they know that's not what it's intended for. IDS is in public office and Dacre has spent years vilifying anybody who claims benefits.
