Not to mention the additional financial costs associated with all this - he mentions one example around the health certificates. And god forbid that he experiences any delays at the ports, given the time-critical nature of his fresh produce. But they knew what they voted for.

We already HAD control and because WE made bad regulations, let’s blame the EU. Sadly, once again, many people believe(d) the lies and continue to do so.

I've often seen it used as an argument in the way you've described it. I can understand why the Spanish government wouldn't want to encourage separatism anywhere else in Europe for fear of encouraging it at home. But that only applies when the subject is being debated, not when a country makes a decision. If Scotland voted for independence the Spanish government couldn't really care less after that. The Spanish didn't block either the Czech or Slovak Republics from becoming members, nor did they block Croatia. Likewise, Spain hasn't blocked candidate status for Montenegro, North Macedonia or Serbia. If anything the perception, be it right or wrong, was more focused on rejection if Scotland were to become a member from within the EU. By that I mean, the became independent whilst the UK was a member and sought to accede to the EU immediately. That, as I understand it, is how the Catalans viewed it. Now that Scotland would become independent and apply for membership from outwith the EU that issue is undoubtedly less of a concern. If it ever was one. Further, I think Pedro Sanchez's socialist government is kept in power by Catalan nationalists at present. If any of this were to happen whilst that is the domestic situation a veto is even more remote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree. I would imagine on independence there could be a fix to apply the agreement to an independent Scotland to allow for a transition to whatever came next.

Don Dan Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Another Brexit forgotten item falling foul of the new deal. This Brexit is turning into what many of us suspected, an unmitigated disaster. No surprise with Boris in charge. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/brexit-cannabis-drug-epileptic-netherlands-b1783012.html Brexit stops ‘life-saving’ medical cannabis drug supply for epileptic boy. The mother of a nine-year-old boy in the UK says she fears for his life after his access to medical cannabis drugs was cut off because of Brexit. Alfie Dingley suffers from a severe form of epilepsy that used to lead to 150 seizures a week, and his mother campaigned successfully for British doctors to be allowed to prescribe medical cannabis in 2017. But in a letter dated 15 December, the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) said that “dispensing finished cannabis oil (Bedrocan products) in the Netherlands against prescriptions from UK prescribers is no longer an option from 1 January 2021”. Hannah Deacon, the mother of nine-year-old Alfie, told the Guardian she is furious that the government only gave two weeks’ notice of the change, and called the termination of supply “terrifying”. “They [the DHSC] said they understand our concern but they can’t do anything. Well, let me tell them, it is not concerning, it is terrifying,” she said. Read more Epileptic children could lose access to crucial drugs after 1 January It's time Britain regulated cannabis like alcohol Covid crisis forces Johnson to scrap post-Brexit trip to India IMs Deacon says medical cannabis products saved her son’s life, and he is now seizure-free. She rushed to secure about two months’ worth of medicine before the end of the Brexit transition period, but adds that this “is not long”.

Campaigners have also raised concerns over the termination of medical cannabis supplies from the Netherlands to the UK, calling it a “matter of life and death” for at least 40 children with similar conditions to Alfie. Neurologist Mike Barnes told the Guardian that the urgency of the situation is not being exaggerated, and one in two of these children “will die” if the medication is cut. A Department of Health and Social Care spokesperson said: “We sympathise with patients dealing with challenging conditions and there is a range of alternative cannabis-based medicines available to UK patients."
