Brexit, for once some facts.

[oyster]

I see further changes to quarantine after travel:

“But on the middle countries, those ones are places where we have reciprocal arrangements in place that if you go there or if you come here, the arrangements are the same both ways round. In other words. You do not have to quarantine.”

This whole approach completely side-steps the issue that the whole process of being transported elevates risk. Especially if you travel via third countries. If you come directly from, say, New Zealand, in the company of others doing the same, and avoid everyone at the airports, when travelling home, etc., probably very low risk. But if you hop on an aircraft in one country, transfer at another airport (or two), and pass and fly with people travelling on many different routes, that risk heightens. So, just considering the country you are travelling from is inadequate. I believe some people are using third countries to avoid restrictions already, Mr Johnson.

Brexit will be a walk in the park with this Government's talent for organisation

£108m error, you couldn't make it up, unfortunately the government does.



Government: Pest control firm’s £108m PPE contract issued ‘in error’ - CityAM
The government has backtracked on official documents showing that it awarded a family-run pest control firm £108m to procure personal protection equipment.

Isn't it nice to have friends willing to line your pockets?

the return of light touch regulations where money is everything.
As BJ said, build build build. We are going to be able to turn vacant shops into habitations, build on greenfields and farm land etc. We will be able to hire and fire whenever we like, zero hour contract will be the norm for everyone. We will be able to engage in genetic and robotic research without supervision, produce foods without licence etc.

Sounds ace. What’s in it for the people who voted for it though? The shop workers, car makers, delivery drivers, aero engine makers, Airbus employees etc? A lot of them voted Brexit, what are they expecting?

I think if there was another referendum today, it would be 60 / 40 remain.

There is a massive problem with that. In Wales, Scotland and NI.

Perhaps we should go back to being Hunter gatherers, in fact with this lot in charge that's a distinct possibility

Hunt those responsible?
Gather the guilty?

I wonder if we can do an exchange with the USA, in a similar fashion to a spy exchange. They could give us Anne Sacoolas and we could give them Prince Andrew

they'll look after themselves, not our problem.

5% of the population already are, when they are not in prison of course.

These days we prefer the term criminals to hunter gatherers.

Well family values, the father is now safer than had he stayed in the UK... provided he survives the plane flight risks.

Has anyone heard anything about CV19 on Oil and Gas rigs? I would have thought they might be places where an outbreak could run wild.

No need to be so tight, we could give them boris, gove and the royal family for sacoolas

I imagine replacement crews are being carefully tested and checked before being flown out, too costly not to do so.

I still don’t know what the Brexit prize is.

You never will, but you can look back at the last 20 years or so to see what it means not to have it.

true.
I didn't do any better in the last 10 years since the conservatives took over.

There have been a few stories in the press. There are difficulties - separation not always possible. Have not noticed them mentioned for a while now.
