Cade Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Mind that amazing trade deal we made with Japan in 2020? Figures collated by the Department for International Trade show exports to Japan fell from £12.3bn to £11.9bn in the year to June 2022. Exports in goods fell 4.9% to £6.1bn and services fell 2% to £5.8bn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulysses Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 'n'all'n'anyways, it looked as though the good ship NI Protocol was going to be steered to safer waters - ironically thanks to some creative fudging by former PMs Johnson and Truss. Now it seems it's full steam ahead on to the rocks, because the you-know-whos in the North are desperate to mumbo jumbo their jumbo mumbos for King and Country, while everybody who's anybody in English politics seems to think it's a core part of the unwritten Constitution to roar "OH **** OFF YOU EUROPEAN ****S" at foreigners as long, loud and often as possible.

EC_Hearts Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Original Wigan pier was a jetty for loading coal onto the barges on the Leeds & Liverpool canal. Became an ironic joke in the music halls as the social conditions were dreadful and the oppposite of what you would expect when talking about an area with a pier. Later the area was was named Wigan pier and contained museums, nightlife, etc. (Guy I worked with was a proud "pie eater "). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SE16 3LN Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 One of the key reasons I changed my mind from remain to leave following the referendum. Corruption, the rise of fascism among member states, and the failure to support members in trouble (Covid in particular) have all served to strengthen my resolve on this one. Prosecutors investigating alleged influence peddling by a Gulf country at the European Parliament charged four people over the weekend with corruption, participation in a criminal group and money laundering. Parliament Vice President Eva Kaili of Greece was relieved of her duties. The prosecutors declined to identify the country suspected of offering cash or gifts to parliament officials in exchange for political favours. Several members of the assembly and some Belgian media linked the investigation to Qatar, which is currently hosting soccer's gala event, the World Cup. Qatar's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has denied any wrongdoing. Police conducted Monday's raids at European Parliament offices in Brussels to seize computer data belonging to 10 parliamentary assistants, prosecutors said. Officers have conducted 20 raids in total as part of an investigation launched four months ago. "Several hundred thousand euros have been seized in three different places: 600,000 euros at the home of one of the suspects, several hundred thousand euros in a suitcase seized in a room of a Brussels hotel, and about 150,000 euros in an apartment belonging to an MEP," prosecutors said. Kaili, who was relieved of her duties over the weekend, was expelled Monday from the legislature's Socialists and Democrats group with immediate effect.

The whole campaign was championed by ignorant people who’ve long since moved on, and are now championing more daft causes or arguments.
