Brexit.

[Milltown Row2]

Day to day yes but who funded their brexit campaign?

Probably the Tory backers who wanted out of Europe

[imtommygunn]

Who funded the tory backers though?

Who funded the tory backers though?

A few plutocrats

FT saying the UK government are not going ahead with the import checks on goods from Europe known as the Target Operating Model. Fifth time they've postponed it.  They stalled on the CE mark earlier this week as well. It has become an absolute disaster for them, as many predicted.

What is the impact of the UK not doin import checks?

Trade from the EU keeps flowing in without the extra cost and delay of veterinary certificates and inspections, but leaves them wide open from a biosecurity perspective and at a trade disadvantage because GB exporters have to meet all the requirements moving goods the other way.  They must be laughing their heads off in Brussels. The farmers and foodies won't be happy.

They don't have a huge biosecurity problem, any more than they had when they were in the EU. But they have ensured that imports are easier than exports, and for a country with a trade deficit that is madness.

You don't have a biosecurity problem until you do.  GB has no biosecurity import control on trade from anywhere in the world, an accident waiting to happen.

I'm going to ask a stupid question, what do you mean by biosecurity problem? Genuine question...

Keeping out disease, pests etc. The wrong thing coming in could wipe out a specific crop or animal, causing mayhem to the farming industry. Should see how serious Australia and New Zealand take this stuff. They'll wash the dirt off your shoes coming in.

Question, was that how ash die back disease (killing ash trees) came in, through other trees being brought in with the disease or was that just through the air?
