'Illegal' whats?

 

Do you mean Migrants and refugees fleeing illegal wars and persecution.

 

People choosing or required to look for a better life for them and their families.

Just as UK citizens might do if they find they live in a country that is undemocratic and involved in illegal wars.

We'll just get stuff from Africa..................

Without a trade deal in place for Kenya, the UK would have to set tariffs according to rules set by the World Trade Organization (WTO).

And Traidcraft Exchange and the Fairtrade Foundation say Kenya could face WTO tariffs of 8.5-12%, costing its flower exporters up to £3.6m annually.

Lee01, Good to see they've finally unplugged the USB from the port on the back of your head. You can start downloading your files now.

You've got plenty of irrefutable proof of the NWO I suppose? From InfoWars or suchlike?

There's some right nasty people in Wiltshire (other counties as well I expect)

A REMAIN campaigner has spoken of her shock after a man charged at and physically attacked her as she was handing out pro-EU leaflets.

Grandmother Victoria Fisher, 68, who is only 5ft tall, was in Swindon town centre last weekend when the incident happened.

So the French "workers" on strike again. Some things never change.

I have never understood why journalists writing about someone of a certain age need to say Grandmother or Grandfather, 

as though that is different from a 68 year old with no children or children that never had children.

Bachelors, Spinsters etc surely bruise just the same, get knocked over and all that type of thing.

 

'British Prime Minister & Leader of the Conservative and Unionist Party Theresa May MP. 62 years old. (who would believe that...)

So out of touch with the common people and the UK and other counties citizens and voters due to a never really having to worried about how much is in her bank account for decades.'

Good news for jobs in Hull as Government announces plan to increase offshore generated electricity from 7% last year to 30% by 2030.

Seems being a teenager much more dangerous occupation than being a grandmother as 35 stabbed to death so far this year in the UK. Spanish man the latest victim.

Two small problems there............. can you guess what they are?

Good news that the tendering for the work required for the Offshore Generation means more work for Belgium, Spain and the UAE.

There will be British Citizens benefiting as employees and investors of the companies that are getting the work.

Not that the Unions in Britain see it that way.

They tend often to forget how many UK Companies get work around the world.

It's almost a shame that this video is presented by 'UFO.TV' as some people will have their opinions coloured immediately.... but, if you dare, sit through and watch. Make your own mind up, but preferably after you finish watching it....

Still waiting for someone to say who lives in the UK that they couldn't buy a loaf of bread at the supermarket in the last 7 days.

Well, you see, there haven't been 2 snow flakes in this part of Scotland, so the supermarkets' entire delivery fleets weren't immobilised for several days!

Your snow has been ordered and will arrive tomorrow.

Perhaps most Europeans forget who helped them not having to learn German when they went to school in France, Spain, Portugal. Austria, Poland, Hungary. You get the idea.

 

the Americans?  I'd also be amazed if anyone saved Austrian children from learning German, and the Poles and Hungarians were forced to learn Russian instead. 

 

thing is most people in these countries DO learn other languages. It helps foster an understanding of other cultures if you learn other languages - something which is no doubt a contributory factor in the prevailing mood of nationalism in England
 

PS no one saved me from having to learn German

So by this chart. 30% of our fruit and veg comes from the EU. Guess what will happen in 22 days?

 

It still will, or still could!!!!!!!!

Probably will, but cost significantly more at the tills

We're all waiting for answers to previously asked questions though aren't we? 

 

How much of the ingredients are from outside the UK and come from the EU?

Eh? Well, according to that graph it could be suggested it would be 30%.

If the 50% of food was wholly created in the UK, then you could assume that the 30% was wholly created within the EU.

But, the actual breakdown could be that the food that the EU sends here may not all be made from ingredients sourced within the EU (an example would be a date slice that had middle eastern dates in it). It could even have UK ingredients that are used and sent back to us.

Is that the same Lord Lawson who hoped to escape brexit by setting up in France but has had his right to remain refused?

I agree. Frankly I doubt anyone could say the UK is where it should be now. We need a deal or we walk out. That's where we are heading.

Which will lead to a lot of people losing their jobs. 

 

Have checked what no deal will mean for YOUR job and your families and employers?
