You were all pretty eager to write about the investigation into Trump's tax affairs. What's the matter?
They should all be investigated Trump, Bidens all wrong doers. If the law's been broken sort it.
Joe Biden has said he won't issuing pardons but leave it to the Judges to deal with as they should, so if Biden jnr has done any wrong he wont get help from his dad.

Is Trump going to win? SCOTUS has asked the 4 states for a response. What are they going to say? 17 other states have now joined Texas in the complaint.
Obvious lies in there - like: "Donald J. Trump, President of the United States, respectfully ... "

Never on this planet is he capable of being respectful.

Don't be so selfish. I posted that because I wanted an answer to the question or opinions about it. If you're not interested, there's no need to write anything, or you can put me on your ignore list.
Yu would think that someone with your experience would have to good manners to post on topic .
So why don't you?

Why are you recycling old stuff? We've been through this before. How many times have you posted about Covid? What's that got to do with Brexit. Brexit is over now anyway.Three more weeks and you can leave to infest another forum with your biased nonsense. Who are you then going to show all your Guardian clips to?

Anyway, who voted you in to be Emperor of the Pedelecs Forum, especially as you don't post anything about electric bikes.

Stories about organisations stockpiling in various ways in anticipation of brexit problems are increasing in number and basis - that is, confirmed in many cases by the organisations concerned.

Ocado stockpiles long-life products in case of no-deal Brexit
Online grocer says there is little it can do to mitigate feared fresh food import disruption

AND a reminder:

Theresa May famously told the British Parliament that "no UK prime minister could ever agree" to a border in the Irish Sea.

Theresa May and Boris Johnson's words have come back to haunt them

Boris Johnson later told a Democratic Unionist Party conference that "no British Conservative government could or should sign up to any such arrangement".

So many cats..........so few recipes.
One for our scottish friend to try at the weekend maybe...??! With Campbells Soup and Irish Stout, should go down a treat!

BEER ROASTED CAT
DO NOT USE BEER
1 cat cut into roast
1 can of Campbell's Cream of Mushroom soup
1 cube of beef bouillon
1 clove of garlic
1 Fine Irish Stout, a lot like a popular dark Irish Beer®, but NOT that brand at their lawyers' request. They alledge this article, educating others in the legal eating habits of over 100 million people world-wide, and specifically in rising East Asian markets, is "highly offensive."

Cover and soak cat roast in salt water for 24 hours. Drain water and then cover and soak in beer for 6 hours. Drain and place in crock pot with your cans of soup. Add a clove of garlic, and a cube of beef bouillon. If you start to slow cook your cat in the morning with your George Foreman Cooker (or it's ilk), you'll have finely cooked feline in time for supper.

If a slow cooker is not available, a cat can be baked at 350 degrees for 2-3 hours in a conventional oven and still come out pretty good. Beer Roasted Cat is fantastic served with mashed potatoes, collard greens, and fresh, homemade egg rolls. When planning a full meal just remember- cat is a course best served hot!

Cat may not be the most glamorous, or tastiest of game meats, but with a little thought and preparation, Baked Cat can make the belly of the persnicketiest diner glow with home baked goodness.

Also our RAF supplying Eire with air and navel cover will cease.
The last time I visited Ireland most navels were covered and it had nothing to do with the RAF.

You may want to appraise yourself of the reasons for the UK/Ireland air defence agreement, and while you're at it educate yourself on the Common Travel Area.

Fraudulent Tax issues will be the least of the Bidens problems, now the FBI are conducting a probe into money-laundering issues

HUNTER Biden is being probed by the FBI over alleged money laundering and his ties to China
Hunter Biden probed by FBI ‘over foreign cash and money laundering as cops ‘seize laptop’ with Ukraine & China emails’
Looks like Hunter Biden has more laptops than PCWorld.

Details on the ramifications of the incoming `No deal` include the denial of the UK as a land bridge between Eire and the continent , why this rat-run was ever allowed in the first place is incomprehensible. Let them take the ferry.

Also our RAF supplying Eire with air and navel cover will cease.

Oh wait... Sean and Mick to the rescue :D :D :D

How nice of you to comment. However there are additional facts you need to appreciate.
1. Coast Guard duties have been shared between both jurisdictions for decades . With RAF Valley in Wales helping support ASR on the UKs West Coast and Ireland's East coast and of course the Irish Coast guard can and does assist. However this is balanced by the Irish Aer Corps and Coastguard providing services into the Atlantic .
2. Drug and smuggling interdiction in the Atlantic is carried out by 24 hour surveillance by Irish Aer Corps for both jurisdictions. Actual seizures are carried out by the Irish naval service.
3 . High speed interception of Russian ( well of course) aircraft is carried out by RAF, but they will be using data supplied from our West Coast Radar stations. They normally fly from Scotland
3a . I am not aware of any services provided by the RN .. except the high speed reverse towing of our fishing vessels by submarines. Not to be recommended,as the bow is pointed and higher than the stern for a reason.
4. The Landbridge between Ireland and the continent ..which I believe you call Wales and England, was a nice little earner for the ports of Holyhead and Pembroke, is lessening in importance, as Irish exporters cannot justify the potential added delays, and new direct ferries to Roscoff, Cherbourg and now Calais are starting up. The Calais route, to be run by the Danes, is interesting is it makes Poland and Germany accessable within the tachometer range of a single day. The Landbridge route exceeded the limits.
5. Although you did not mention it, Shannon and Prestwick control the airspace over the North Atlantic to the USA. Its called Shanwick in airline parlance. And linked is that Ireland provides a significant amount of the UKs Met data.

Common Travel Area
Irish and British citizens move freely and reside in either jurisdiction - NOT the movement of goods intended for another jurisdiction.!!

Is it the buckfast this evening or just laziness? Couldn`t you do this research first before you embarrass yourself?

"Brexit and Irish Security and Defence
Ben Tonra
Abstract
Brexit poses fundamental challenges to the Irish state across the public policy spectrum but critically in the area of security and defence. Traditionally, Irish security and defence policy was driven by three interconnected policy goals; territorial defence, aid to the civil power and international security operations. The prospect of the UK’s withdrawal from the European Union has placed each of these three security and defence roles into a new context and poses a substantial existential challenge to the Irish state.

They use the word "laptop" loosely. He abandoned the laptop in a repair shop, so the laptop and all the data on it became the property of the shop owner. He cloned the hard drives, gave one to the FBI and one to Giuliani. I think I heard that he made several copies, so there must be others somewhere. Some of the data on them has been distributed across the internet, and you can find it if you know how/where. I've seen some of it, and it's very damning.
