Off Topic The Politics Thread

Hey Stroller let me find your original Trump prediction. That is comedy gold.

 

However... I do think Cameron needs to answer some questions. I think the pig ####er may have let the side down.

 

I’m surprised you haven’t posted another tweet Will.

 

Mmmm - Pretty sure it was you banging on about "No smoke without fire" during the Jezza hounding

 

That maybe due to the fact that I listened to 2 witnesses and that fab reporter who uncovered it. 1200 complaints against him and his actions. Whereas Hancock hasn’t broken any rules other than his sister being a shareholder. Even sir Kier said no rules have been broken. I am more than happy to be corrected if you can show me evidence of the Ministerial code being broken? To be fair SM what Hancock may or may not have done is nothing compared to what Corbyn did. I’m surprised Will hasn’t picked on it?

Anyway more importantly it’s good to see you and especially Mrs Steels On the mend.

 

Been busier than normal. Please can you explain in fine detail the ministerial code. Is that the new orange?

 

Thanks pal - it's been a long haul but we're definately coming out the other side now. Full day out gardening today, which would have been impossible for her even a month ago. Three weeks since her AZ jag, and she's made a remarkable turn round since then...

 

That's fantastic mate.

 

You really are a strange man-child Ellers. You used to constantly tell people who thought Brexit had been a stupid idea to 'get over it', yet you are the one that keeps bringing it up, whilst everyone else has moved on. Now here you are dragging up Corbyn and Trump - yesterday's men. Why don't you 'get over it'?

Yes, I was a Corbyn supporter, but I disowned him long before the last election because I could see that he'd become a liability. I did predict a hung parliament in 2017 and I was right, in fact I made a nice few quid betting on it.

Please do look up my hilarious Trump 'prediction'. I don't recall making one in 2016, but I may have done because I couldn't believe that the US electorate could be moronic enough to elect such a low-life. I overestimated them, but I was certainly right to say that he couldn't win again.

 

Always good to have you back posting, stay strong

 

Nice one SM. I was in the garden as well today enjoying the sun with a few beers.

 

Zzzzzzzzz
I got bored after the first line. Next time make in no more than 3 lines.

 

Sorry Stroller I have been drinking in the sun.I will read tomorrow.

 

Glad you’ve been enjoying the sun.., and beers. Towards the end of the game today were you considering switching to something a little stronger?

 

What has hancock and cameron done

 

I heard it was a car crash moment for Rachel Reeves on the Andrew Marr show today. I will have to watch on catch up.

 

It was horrific for her, but Labour MP's must be on a bonus everytime they say, "Tory Sleaze" on camera so she'll have made a bob or two . Unfortunately she couldn't stop Marr mentioning all the incidents of Labour sleaze.

Brussels forced to accept British shellfish after waters upgraded
18 April 2021

The European Union’s callous ban on the import of live shellfish from Britain looks set to be rendered obsolete after British waters were upgraded to meet European standards.

The bloc had imposed a ban on third countries exporting their live catch to the European single market if caught in Class B waters, which much of Britain’s fishing grounds had been listed as being. The ban was initially set to be expire this month but the Commission extended the ban indefinitely and specifically singled out the import of UK catch as being “strictly forbidden”.

Environment secretary George Eustice had branded the ban on UK catch “unjustifiable” and “legally wrong” after the British government claimed it had received assurances from the Commission that live catch from British waters would not be included in the ban after Brexit.

The EU executive had been accused of playing malicious political games with top French MEP who heads the parliament’s fisheries committee, Pierre Karleskind insisting the ban “doesn’t make any sense” because “UK waters didn’t become dirty on December 31 at midnight”.

A government minister told the Mail on Sunday that Brussels had imposed the ban “to punish us for daring to become a nation state.



“They effectively changed the law to justify their position in blocking the trade, despite clear indications that the export from Class-B waters for purification could continue after the transition period,” the source added.

However, in a review by the independent Food Standards Agency, the waters off Kent, Essex, Devon, Cornwall and Northumberland have all now been upgraded to Class A, meaning oysters, mussels, claims and cockles caught in these regions can now be exported to the EU market.

“The UK is a world leader in environmental and health standards, and we take our responsibilities on food exports extremely seriously,” the government minister told the Sunday newspaper.

“More produce from UK waters will now be eligible for export to the EU again, boosting the British fishing industry.”
