One wonders why mottie is still so obsessed with the EU...

After all, mottie got the result he so desperately wanted...

Could it be that mottie has realised that he got it wrong, and rather than admit that fact he now wants to see the same fate engulf 30 other nations?

Looks like mottie is a sore 'winner'

This is why...

Ukraine has called on Poland to punish those responsible for destroying 160 tonnes of Ukrainian grain in an attack at a Polish railway station. Earlier, the official had reported that 160 tonnes of grain, en route to other countries via the port of Gdansk, had been dumped at the railway station near Bydgoszcz, in eastern Poland. It was reportedly the fourth instance of Ukrainian grain being spilled by protesting Polish farmers in recent weeks.

The European Union suspended import duties, quotas and trade defence measures for imports from Ukraine in June 2022, after Russia’s war closed down many of the country’s usual grain export routes. However, the flow of cheap grain from the east quickly sparked protests by farmers and truckers in neighbouring countries.

Changes to farming regulations in regard to nitrates amid climate change measures have meant rising costs for farmers across the EU and UK. Welsh farmers have been hopping mad at their government and demand something is done to prevent their business being taken away by cheap imports from Australia. One of those Bre*it deals done to show Britain was on the rebound from EU membership that meant the UK allowed lower standards from Aussie farmers in to the country at the expense of our own food standards.

Yeah. I’m really happy that our Brexit farmers are not that enraged they have to demonstrate and spray shìt over parliament. Maybe they are just getting on with things and not whinging about it like you are. Of course, you hardly mention Brexit, do you….

[Feb. 9th] farmers on a go-slow protest that caused traffic jams around the Port of Dover.​

Activists in several parts of Wales have held a series of protests, including parking tractors outside the constituency office of the rural affairs minister, Lesley Griffiths, and blaring their horns, according to a Farmers Weekly report...the next protest in Kent would “hopefully be bigger numbers and it will be tractors, and we will be trying to get better messaging out about what we are trying to achieve”.

Were they showing our farmers merrily whistling away?

Or is "not incandescent with rage" another Brexit win?

 

[Mottie]

Obviously not as upset about things compared to their European cousins.

No shìt! Literally.

“The whole industry is on its knees, to be honest. The dairy boys, the arable boys, the whole industry. We are just getting clobbered by the supermarkets, by the government, by post-Brexit trade deals, by imports of cheap rubbish. We are getting it from everywhere.”


I sh!t you not.

Don't mistake lack of overt action as proof of ours being any less fecked off.
