The US and EU have already lifted the ban so it's not even a Brexit benefit.

The AG is a cretin beyond belief. If these Brexit cultists ever had any shame, it died a long time ago.

[Rex Kramer]

You can see the play from Johnson though. Install an idiot who doesn't understand the law as AG and then they can tell you everything is legal. And when it goes wrong it's their fault.

How many things has the UK signed up to and then reneged on now?

It's incredible that this is happening over and over and when the EU are sceptical over deals the Tories all clutch their collective pearls.

This is not correct at least for most of the food.

After reviewing the latest data, the EU said the obligation to sample and analyze products before export must be maintained or established for certain products but may be lifted for others.

This takes into account more than 87,000 occurrence data on radioactivity in feed and food other than beef and more than 429,000 occurrence data on radioactivity in beef provided by Japanese authorities for the 9th and 10th growing seasons following the accident. Data was reported from January 2019 until December 2020.

The EU said it was appropriate to require the sampling and analysis of wild mushrooms and derived products from the prefectures of Iwate, Nagano, Niigata and Ibaraki, of fish and fishery products from Gunma, of wild bracken and derived products from Fukushima and of Japanese royal fern and derived products from the prefecture of Miyagi in addition to products already on the list.

However, requirements have been removed for Aralia sprout and derived products from the prefectures of Fukushima, Miyagi and Gunma, bamboo and derived products from Fukushima, mushrooms and derived products from Gunma, and koshiabura and derived products from Shizuoka, Yamanashi and Yamagata.

No cases of non-compliance with EU law have been found during import controls for more than nine years so the frequency of official controls has been kept low.

The regulation will be reviewed in mid-2023 when results of sampling and analysis for the presence of radioactivity in feed and food in the 11th and 12th growing seasons in 2021 and 2022 are available.

There is very little civil unrest now though. Just a few loyalist wankers being ineffective and spinning outright lies.

And we are slightly outperforming the rest of the UK because of the protocol as well, according to a British think tank. So yeah. It's bollocks. We can't be seen to be a success.

Suella Braverman has told PM & senior ministers that EU is undermining Good Friday Agreement by creating trade barrier & fuelling civil unrest

I'm sorry? The EU put up a trade barrier? Didn't we do that when we left the strawberry floating EU lmao

Essentially papers say whatever they think is popular at the moment now as there's nobody regulating them enough to stop them either lying/posting populist bullshit without fact checking things.

Your average consumer isn't going to go back and look at old papers or check archives to see if they're contradicting themselves. If a paper is changing their opinion on something they should be forced to either link back or reference the previous paper/article they wrote and explain the differences/why they've changed their opinion. The right wing press of this country just have free reign over peoples minds and it sucks.

"I hoped the EU wouldn't apply the deal the way they did"

WTF?

Stupid banana split!

[Rex Kramer]

They can fiddle around with the protocol until they're blue in the face but it doesn't change the fundamentals. A border has to exist somewhere, the GFA says there can't be one between the north and the south and the unionists say there can't be one in the sea. Therefore the only solution is for the UK to rejoin the customs union. But that can't happen because then we'd be subject to rules we have no say on (like we did before we left). And this will continue until the UK rejoins the EU or Northern Ireland unifies with the Republic.

Even by Johnson's standards, this is just utterly incredible
