ewerk 2,754 Report post Posted July 30 Quote "I will always back Britain's great farmers and as we leave the EU we need to make sure that Brexit works for them. "That means scrapping the Common Agricultural Policy and signing new trade deals - our amazing food and farming sector will be ready and waiting to continue selling ever more not just here but around the world. "Once we leave the EU on 31 October, we will have a historic opportunity to introduce new schemes to support farming - and we will make sure that farmers get a better deal." This is where it's difficult to know if he's deliberately lying or really does believe this nonsense. The no deal Brexit he's pushing would be absolutely disastrous for our agricultural sector which would have already been decimated by the time these theoretical trade deals have been done.

Ant 229 Report post Posted July 30 A load of them voted for it despite knowing how much money cap reform got them, typical dup followers voting for the usual suspects rather than thier own interests. One of the critical apps they've got me in charge of delivering is export certs for meat/dairy, the expected increase in volume for those in a no deal scenario is staggering, how the mainland do it is a different (worse imo) process and all, we're miles ahead of them with tracing and animal info. Until I went over to defra the other month I always assumed the rest of the UK had a similar system to us, they've nothing like or animal movements stuff.

Meenzer 1,555 Report post Posted August 2 Good to see the pro-Remain parties being pragmatic and harnessing the flaws of FPTP to their benefit for once, at least. The combined vote share of the losers is irrelevant in that respect, even if it is a concern - but then you've got the Boris bounce and an MP with local popularity (despite his misdemeanours) to consider. Under other circumstances the Tory vote might well have been more depressed. The worry is that in a GE, a no-deal-ticket Conservative party would do the same kind of deals with Farage - stand aside in some of the places where UKIP were making progress in the north pre-2016 to clear the way for the Brexit Party to beat Labour, say (and in some desolate Kent backwater so Farage can have his seat at last), and get similar favours in return. Hopefully the Tories are too pig-headed to allow that to happen, but all bets are off these days. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A pact with him would be the ultimate irony, and certainly the death of the party as we used to know them. I can't see it. But then again I'm being proven wrong about everything recently. Aren't we all I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Howmanheyman 1,765 Report post Posted August 20 So the cunts are trying to roll out not paying you a pension till your seventy five. I absolutely fucking loathe these sick bastards with a passion, I was never happy about it upping to sixty seven but this is a piss take. I managed to catch a bit of the BBC news review this morning and yesterday. Not a fucking peep. How the fuck is this not on the news? It affects every working person in the country. It's getting rid of the state pension for a lot of people and even the ones who'll qualify mightn't have much time to 'enjoy' it. Fucking middle England, the biggest set of deluded masochistic wankers going continually voting in these evil vermin. Zero chance I'll be able to do my job at sixty odd never mind seventy five and my work pensions won't cut the mustard for that length of time in between retiring and getting a state pension. The conservatives are truly poisonous. This lot put Thatcher in the shade. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Mighty Hog 72 Report post Posted August 20 It's not a policy, just being floated by Tory think-tanks. No doubt testing the waters for a reaction, but not currently on the cards. They'd be mental to even suggest it now with the potential GE looming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Renton 843 Report post Posted August 20 Aye, it's a think tank proposal but you can bet your house these cunts will get this through before you retire HMHM. It'll be done incrementally of course, Brexit is part of the plan. Welcome to the 51st state. Breaking the union and securing England as a forever tory outpost also. My sister lost her DLA last week after her PIP assessment. She's profoundly disabled and will now live the rest of her life in poverty if we lose her appeal. Shes mentally ill and the stress is likely to cause her another break down. I also hate these cunts vehemently and the cunts that have enabled them. We know who they are.

Hope things work out for your Sis mate. It’s fucked up man. Lots of policies I disagree or agree with, but first and foremost the gov. should look after those who need it (disabled and children) or deserve it (pensioners who’ve paid into system their whole life).
