Customs Union breakdown

Much as I anticipated, the border between the EU and the UK being based in the Irish Sea is causing chaos and is on the verge of total collapse !!!

Northern Ireland-Britain supply chain at risk of collapse, hauliers warn

The supply chain between Northern Ireland and the rest of the United Kingdom is a "boat breakdown" away from collapse as a result of the post-Brexit regulatory border, the UK's Road Haulage Association (RHA) has warned the British government.

In a letter sent to Cabinet Office minister Michael Gove seen by Reuters, the RHA said some sectors are "struggling enormously" with the new, complex rules just over a week after the United Kingdom left the European Union's orbit.

While Britain is no longer part of the EU's single market and customs union, the British-run region of Northern Ireland has a foot in both camps – part of the UK's customs territory but also still aligned with the EU's single market for goods.

The new rules have left some shelves empty this week as supermarkets struggle to import fresh goods from Britain and manufacturers have reported Northern Irish-bound trucks being unable to cross the Irish Sea due to difficulties with customs declarations.

The RHA said raw material supply lines from Britain had also been restricted due to the regulatory changes and that factories had already reported serious supply chain issues, including failures to supply retail contracts.

The trade body warned Gove that introducing some of the world's most complex customs processes with next to no training, implementation time and insufficient capacity left industry "one storm/Covid event/boat breakdown" away from having serious supply issues.

"This would result in shortages on (Northern Irish) supermarket shelves and factories being starved of materials," RHA Chief Executive Richard Burnett said in the letter.

Burnett also cautioned that the Covid-19 lockdown that will keep Northern Ireland's hospitality sector and non-essential retailers shut for another month is "simply masking a crisis in the supply chain to food service and hospitality."

Gove said on Friday that difficulties in moving goods between Northern Ireland and the rest of the United Kingdom will get worse before they get better.

 

Sounds like the conglomerates. They are after control over the distribution of food, and that begins with owning the means of production and distribution. Monsanto and others would like nothing better than to reinvent the entire British food supply chain.

 

Monsanto can get stuffed !!! I'm not eating GM food stuffs or anything drenched in their poisonous sprays !!!

 

You cannot stop the international conglomerates, they are relentless and nobody can stop them. They have corrupted your political system, and will use that to trash your food supply chain, so they can buy it up. They typically stick with simple divide and conquer, hammer and anvil tactics, because the public typically is that stupid and cowed. Don't worry, the white population of the US and EU have been imploding ever since the invention of modern contraceptives, so the problem is solving itself.

 

Over this side of the pond matey we have a far more active 'green' movement. In fact my local MP is a member of the 'Green Party'

 

They will eat you alive, like so many baby seal hippies they club over the head. You cannot attack what you cannot comprehend, and they will turn your politics into utter garbage like American politics. Money can destroy anything.

 

Yeah well some of us are impervious to bribery - unlike most of the American politicians - they cannot buy my principles - they are beyond price.

 

They will corrupt you in every way imaginable, merely dividing and conquering Willie Nellie, and may even use their supercomputers to figure out the most profitable way to do it. They will push the boundary of the law as far as they can, and further still. It is money, it is not people, I am talking about the fucking banks, with an estimated 1,700 international conglomerates today believed to run the entire world economy. There is no fucking way to stop that steam roller, as Americans have discovered the hard way repeatedly. They want you to work 60 hour weeks for the bank, and don't care if your population implodes.

 

In a nutshell...........Nothing that a few pints of Guinness wont sort out.........

 

We are Borg, We are One, You Will Be Assimilated! Britain's attempts to modernize its economy have been successful, while if Monsanto went bankrupt tomorrow, the banks would fund their competition. Only fools believe the world economy is run by banks that rape the third world, and not themselves.

 

We knew the US was populated by a different species, - you've now confirmed it - try assimilating and you'll become Communist like I am !!!

 

LOL, I studied for decades, then spent another decade collating all the data. Your population is already dying. The entire workaholic Japanese and white US and EU populations have been imploding faster than any other on the planet, since the invention of birth control. Atheist communism is nothing more than the flip side of religion. The growing body of evidence indicates neither academics nor the religious teach children how to use a stupid dictionary, share their words, and play nice. They still teach that English only has one grammar, when it has two, because they are cultures of compulsive liars, who believe in common sense and conventional wisdom, which have never been proven to exist anywhere on the planet.

Communist atheists in China are now converting to Christianity in record numbers. Meanwhile, the thriving democracies of the developed world which have extensive social safety nets, have a strong majority of the population that merely describes themselves as spiritual or agnostic. In other words, neither fucking atheism nor religion has a terribly great track record, unless you enjoy killing people by the millions, and suppressing any genuine salt-of-the-earth politics. Atheists relying heavily on making up their own words and definitions, just like fundamentalists. Honesty is such a lonely word, you can find it on sale at the Dollar Store.

 

Not this side of the 'pond' matey - some of us have a great deal more respect for our principles !!!

 

Your history says otherwise. Sorry.

 

You have no knowledge of my history - you're just pissing in the wind !!!

 

You forgot to mention she is the only Green MP in your "far move active" movement

Lolz

 

Did you forget about the part where England built a bunch of ships then raped every country they could find?

 

Now don't tell me, your ancestors were aboard one of those ships that transported convicts to Australia ???

 

"The UK government has announced three-month grace period during which online retailers in Britain will not have to make customs declarations when sending parcels valued below £135 to Northern Ireland customers."

Brexit forces Sainsbury’s to stock rival supermarket’s products in Northern Ireland

 

£135 wouldn't even cover the cost of of a truck driver's fuel in his engine's tank !!!
