I have bought pullovers, expensive, but far superior to anything in the UK, from the Aran islands- Can now expect an extra payment of around £30-£80 for a pullover. I also get French after-shave from EU sellers on eBay. Not anymore.

You must be the only bloke in thousands who wear those uncomfortable garments. Bit choppy where you go out on your trawler is it?

I looked on line and there is a sale on and prices no where near what you are on about.

The wool is making you bleat.

If you read the article fully it sounds like.he is a Tory politician trying to cover

"The former Nissan chief executive Carlos Ghosn in 2016 said the UK government would have to compensate carmakers for any extra costs caused by the UK’s departure. Nissan eventually secured secret pledges of government aid initially worth £80m, which were later reduced to £61m. The carmaker later made a U-turn on plans to build another SUV, the X-Trail, in north-east England while warning that Brexit uncertainty was harming its business. The Sunderland plant employs about 6,000 people and produced nearly 350,000 cars in 2019, although it has capacity to make 600,000 a year "

Looks like Bees and other insects won't benefit as the govt is going to allow Neonicotinoid Thiamethoxam to be used as a pesticide. It was banned by the EU.

Odd way of promoting a "green" culture, but I guess all the Tory shire county land owners come first

I used to buy German beer from Bavaria. Even with the delivery cost worked out cheaper per bottle than if purchased in UK. Unfortunately for now they are not shipping to UK

One major benefit of Brexit is that we have been able to organise the covid vaccine and regulate ourselves.

The Oxford vaccine is still apparently a month away from being passed in the EU and they are way behind with just the Pitzer jab. Hungary has decided to order the Russian one and Germany has been heavily criticed for ordering extra, as the EU have failed to order enough!

I agree we have done a much better job with sourcing vaccines-I don't know if we would have had the same flexibility if we had not left, or indeed, had we still been in the EU whether we would have pushed them into a better performance

Who eats that rubbish?

‘Fresh ingredients?’ Limp lettuce? Those Subways have a putrid stink in them.

There are no shortages anywhere. I do not know where you shop. Try shopping around Walthamstow. Our foreign community do not go without and the shops are very reasonably priced.

I won the Spanish Lottery but I am unable to calm as I'm no longer member of the EU, that plus the fact my brother altered my passport to make it look like I'm a child.
