Wait so they did this to satisfy 1.3% of people?
1.3% is pushing it, 0.9% were open to use more imperial, so only 0.4% really.
Government doing their best to make another British industry go bankrupt.

‘We’re out of step’: how post-Brexit UK is drifting from EU standards
The UKCA quality standard is imposing unwelcome costs, from chemicals to construction materials
This is an article that sheds some small insight into some of the problems of Brexit which will become more apparent as time passes. Industry in the UK is beginning to wake up and anyone involved in industry or trading in the Uk will be starting to curse themselves if they thought Brexit would be a good idea.
The Tories don't care as long as attention is diverted away from their incompetence and they can persuade the electorate that the EU and or foreigners were to blame for the country's woes.
Unfortunately for the country, Starmer has bought into the rhetoric and probably believes that Brexit can work more than the Tories - so at present there's no light at the end of the tunnel.

And now for something completely predictable...
Brexit has completely failed for UK, say clear majority of Britons – poll
Only one in 10 feel leaving the EU has helped their finances, while just 9% say it has benefited the NHS, despite £350m a week pledge according to new poll

We just need to make it work. Will be the claim made for the next few decades.
UK - there's pandemic on the rise, let's get them vaccines in arms
EU - There's a pandemic on the rise, we need to get vaccines in arms. Yeah but we need approval from so many governing bodies. Let's wait, not enough people have died yet

Are you drunk?
Stupid post, UK secured their vaccines using EU protocols.
I think they know they've made such a balls of brexit that they've nothing to show for it.
It’s like a cult. I hate this country.
Brexit bonus? Was the EU stopping the shellfish in question from growing or being harvested? I'll guess the answer is no.
So we have a (debatably) new product that could have been sold far more easily, cheaply to a much larger market if we hadn't left. These giggling fools are truly embarrassing.
Hang on, shouldn't they check to make sure these aren't foreign shellfish invading by the backdoor?
You can never be surprised by the total idiocy of Brexit.
The Prime Minister and Home Secretary actually visit Saaffeend to view the site of where the clams have been found, which can't be sold or eaten.
Brexit bonus. Desperation knows no bounds.

There is no coincidence that this happens at the same time as the UK's membership of the EU. Bet you can't counter that Paul.
All to do with the quality of the water. Especially now the Uk can't send their shellfish to the EU to be purified.
I love mussels (which we have in abundance).
Damn, you weren't meant to treat that seriously...
That’s worth PM visit? They must be desperateYou can never be surprised by the total idiocy of Brexit.

Sunak says, in protecting international shipping, the UK is upholding international law. (Ho Ho Ho!)
The Houthis’ attacks on international shipping have put innocent lives at risk, he says. They have held one crew hostage for almost two months and they are causing growing economic disruption. Global commerce cannot operate under such conditions. Containers and tankers are having to take a 5,000-mile detour around the Cape of Good Hope.
This is pushing up prices, and reducing consumers’ access to vital goods, he says.
And he says people should not accept the “malign narrative” that this is about Israel and Gaza. It isn’t, he says; it is about protecting shipping.
See Sunak and Shapps sh!tting themselves about focussing on trade on the other side of the world. Could be a few awkward questions as to why .
Although obviously they haven't seen a satellite map of what the ships are actually doing and that it won't make any difference to their new trade deals as a) they're worthless and b) the CPTPP doesn't come into effect until after the GE at the end of the year.

Well, deregulation is necessary. These laws were unnecesary as they are stupid and pulls back the economy. Now UK economy is booming
The UK government will no doubt pass a law saying that swimming in sh!t is healthy and anyone who says it's not is an enemy of the people.
All too predictable Brexit dividends of shit-caked beaches and effluent riddled rivers.

Look at some of the idiotic Brexiteer responses to this. Fecking morons the lot of them.

I've warned people that Brexit could happen anywhere with the right circumstances. People think it was just Brits being stupid but that was only part of it.

All far right politicians want to cause as much disruption as possible throughout the world in all countries.
Sadly the UK fell for it because they were lied to and so badly informed. (And they have more than their fair share of gullible and stupid people).

EU membership is strongly supported by an overwhelming 87% of Germans, with most far-right voters also in favour of remaining in the bloc, according to a new poll published on Thursday (Nov 2023).

Brexit trade checks will cost £330m a year. Starmer must revisit this disastrous deal
by Simon Jenkins
The price of the Tories’ new border regime beggars belief. In a cost of living crisis, it’s a bill we can’t afford
While sheer exhaustion might postpone the question of the UK returning to the EU, that need not apply to the customs unions and treaties that form Europe’s economic area.
This moron, Jenkins, was a pro-Brexiteer.
It beggars belief how moronic these people are. He doesn't understand what he's voted for, he still thinks there's some kind of menu that can be picked from. He still thinks Brexit can be renegotiated .He doesn't understand what a Customs Union is and means. He doesn't want all the inconvenience and costs that he promoted. This is what you wanted.

Tbf everything Simon Jenkins writes is pure garbage.
Yes let’s copy a bad blueprint everywhere. feckwits
I googled Simon Jenkins worst columnist and these were in the top three. They're from 2012 and 2013, so seems he's long been regarded as dreadful.I was trying to find a compilation of worst hits I remember- the guy is wrong on everything.

Hmm, somebody pays him for trotting out rubbish.
His colleague on the Guardian, Larry Elliott, another Brexiter, was apparently in the year above me at my school but I don't remember him. he's a tw@t as well.
