I read a few warnings to the farming communities about not taking
certain livestock to market today because it was likely that there would
be very low prices because exporters wouldn't be buying. It was expected
that the rest of Europe may impose travel and trucking bans and to/from
the UK in an effort to stop the spread of the new variant of the virus.

It's very unusual to stop freight. I do wonder if this is further
punishment for daring to leave the EU. The French are especially ****ed
off but truck drivers were never seen as a vector spreading disease.

Perhaps if we'd just left the EU that would be true.

But in case it's escaped your notice, we've spent years trying to
negotiate effectively retaining EU 'membership' for the bits of it we like.


Not remotely accurate the EU want us to sign up for more than we want to.
We want limited trade deals no free movement etc and not handing over
control of things. If we gave in to your version the deal would have been
done under May. The EU need money and are worried if we leave others will
follow.
