ewerk 34801 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 You can be pretty sure that those MPs demanding a cost benefit analysis of the covid lockdown tier system will be the same ones ignoring any CBA of Brexit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 38235 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 All the right wing cunts on Twitter etc banging on about it are exactly the same. Whereby the consequences of Brexit, a totally avoidable, self inflicted national economic disaster can’t be questioned unless you’re a traitor.

Meenzer 16928 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Of course, buried away in there are some things we do need to address eventually - if we're serious about tackling climate change etc. then we need to get back to eating more of what's local to us, and as a relentlessly consumerist nation drowning in household debt, it'd serve us well to learn that sometimes there are things we just can't have - but I'd rather it didn't take wrecking the economy and chucking away a generation's future to get people eating mackerel again. 🤷♀️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 24587 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 All this talk of fish is a red herring. We're talking around 0.1% of UK GDP so it's clearly a distraction. Some policy wonk decided even the most braindead brexiteer understands what a fish is. The real issue is LPF. Fish might be sold as some kind of victory if we have to make more significant concessions elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were at Hull or Grimsby or some other shit hole and the gist of it was that it used to be a huge industry employing loads of people and it could be again (more or less the exact words used to end the piece). It’s absolutely fucking shameless bullshit falling into the realms of pro-government/Brexit propaganda. Huge trawlers can operate with small crews, it’s shit work most people wouldn’t want to do, if they breach the quotas and bring in huge hauls then the prices would crash even if the European markets would buy them (which they wouldn’t, in retaliation for doing that), the quotas are the only thing keeping the industry remotely sustainable and that’s just off the top of my head. It’s absolute madness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
