Well after yesterday's meeting in London between Grove and the EU ..the results are extremely predictable.
1. NI s DUP says NI Protocol is unworkable.
2. Grove wants extension until 2023,.
3. EU says no extensions formal or informal until you actually do what you signed up for.
4. Robinson..the previous DUP leader ,and favoured heir by Ian Paisley , but now ousted, says DUP you have two choices , ..get out of Government and oppose NI Protocol or stay in Government and do your duty and implement it.
5. Nett result , Hobnobs still not getting into NI shelves, because UK distributors did not read the manual. And it gets worse in April when the period of grace expires.
the only way to avoid upsetting the DUP is to keep our standard in food and goods to EU's standard then we can negotiate a proper extension to 2024.
I can't see BJ will go with that.
Loss of face is bigger than common sense.

It is a very sobering position into which one is being put. I signed one in respect of an Aunt, for which I had Power of Attorney. I know I did the right thing, but I did need to think hard about it.

The problems are even more local than that. Ireland has its own pests, and they are different from the ones in Sussex . But then you all knew that. The phyto sanitation standards are to keep us both safe.

Very Gracious my friend!
It's a double dilemma for me, my wife with Mixed dementia, myself with asbestosis, I should have signed for both of us already, snag is while she was still pretty rational she totally rejected signing.
Thanks for your kind words..

No-one should ever press you to do anything like that. Deeply wrong.

Todays Crony company

Surely that should be "Who are"
Running Concentration camps yields a profit eh?
The company is providing a safe haven. Think what horrors these asylum seekers have encountered as they have passed through one EU country after another. Horrors, ill treatment and dungeon like accommodation that motivates them to come to the U.K. where the accommodation, welcome and generosity exceeds anything they have previously encountered within the EU.

Obviously British dungeons are world leaders, as you would expect :D

Indeed, even the protein rich menu has a choice, cockroaches, mice or rats.

I was trying to find some logic to the Trump impeachment trial, since I was bored.
Conclusion: Still bored, no wiser, anyone else had better luck?
