    Hi Barry

     

    It sure is, pal. Hope you are keeping well and still 'decimating' the Channel! ;-)

     

    Very well Wayne, left the fish alone this winter, too much work and not enough fun. Starting again at the end of march and have loads of opportunity to clear out the channel this year.

     

    Welcome back.

     

     

    The summer eel fishing has been going well, but as with all the other species, the law of diminishing returns soon stifles 'progress'. It seems like yesterday when a 4lb+ fish was a right result.

     

    They are definitely still the most ridiculously common endangered species on Earth. Haha

     

    Wondering if TAT are going to arrange another so called survey any time soon, to get the restrictions lifted. I think we all know the answer to that.

    No doom and gloom here mate. Riggwelter and popcorn. Is Maggie, Maggie, May delivering the Brexit you voted for? Is this what a Red, White and Blue Brexit looks like?

     

     

    ha popcorn, that's cheap, fills a hole though.

     

    according to the dinyloowes in the e u yes out of the political prison out of the restrictive customs union, out of the protectionist market and out of paying the over and above sum of 40 billion. Just down to the e u clowns to tip a no deal over a cliff. merkal and the german industries ain't going to be happy,

    All,

     

    I'm not sure as I sit here typing if I can get this point across. This thread has become a narrow focus of two distinct political views. It seems fewer and fewer on AN care to participate.

     

    The effects of UK culture remain significant even after accounting for differences in legal systems and economic institutions, indicating that national culture may serve as a comprehensive indicator of the regulatory stance with respect to good governance regardless if it is the "world order" of the EU or home rule. Why are current opinions so focused on "they"? Doesn't anyone else have a brother-in-law?

     

    I continue to reiterate we can all read the news - does anyone British have an original opinion?

     

    Phone

     

     

    Fear not phone once we have left the e u's political prison we'll concentrate on all the good things trump is going to do with his relationship with the u k's world wide u k traders inc :thumbs::thumbs: :thumbs:

     

    ohh here we go phone, looks like trump is upsetting the e u political mandarins with his down to earth proposals favouring those who remain in his club. The e u ers don't like it done to them. hahaha

    I am talking about his effectiveness in representing the constituents who elected him.

    An elected representative's job is to act in the interests of his electorate. To gain some advantage for them in terms of such things as inward investment. When has he done that? He has been too busy promoting his own interest, running his own political party, working at other jobs in broadcasting etc. What he has not been doing is acting as an MEP although that is what he has been paid quite handsomely to do.

    Has he been effective in promoting himself and his beliefs? Of course, but that was not what he was elected or paid to do.

     

    If he wants to do that then why does he need to be an MEP and get a salary and very lucrative allowances. Why not do it as a private individual, leading a political party, broadcasting his message to his heart's content?

    All of the things you point to as being effective have nothing to do with his membership of the European Parliament.

    As a European tax payer, I pay his wages and it pi**es me off that he can get away with it.

     

    As for "EU mandarins cowering" really?

     

     

    you name one that is as effective as farge, none of them has an answer to him they all appear to be amateurish in comparison.

     

    Here's another you can slag off to your hearts content. My mep is hannon, he has ensured that he will be out of work once the u k leaves as well.

     

    He was not afraid to tell those political apparatchiks, his words, the reality as opposed to their wet dreams of a political prison.

    Effective?

    He hardly ever attends

    He doesn't take part when he does attend

    Never votes on anything

    Never sits on a committee

    Spends his time pursuing his own interests

    The only reason that he is recognisable is because he is a right royal PITA who very occasionally makes a speech calling people names.

    He may be many things but an effective MEP he certainly is not.

     

    Absolutely disagree, every time he has stood up in the e u parliament he slaughters their ideal of a super state. it ain't going to happen and farage needs applauding not vilifying.. They have no answer to the facts that he makes them aware of and they have been terrified when he stands up.

    and there's loads more examples of the e u mandarins cowering

  8. here's some sustenance for you to comment on b c.

     

    take in tusks video, as it happens I agree with him.

     

    to an extent of 90%

     

    The two areas where he can go do one is the u k's finance industry, the e u countries and companies have relied on their expertise and funding for many years. However, following leaving the e u as tusk sets out the e u countries and companies will not wish to loose their avenue of finance for growth, will they.

     

    And as for tusks comment regarding the u k's fishing waters, that is really not his decision as the u k owns the water and not the e u.

    Excellent News for Britain But Barry have you noticed we are still in the EU we havent actually left yet ?

     

     

    More good news

     

    EUROPEAN UNION mandarins are "terrified" a successful Brexit could spark a domino effect pushing other member states to leave the institution to pursue new arrangements, Institute of Economic Affairs deputy research director Dr Richard Wellings claimed.

  11. Here's copy from your link b c that rather explains oooohhhhlearys selfish attitude, he cares not for the ordinaries he is following the money:

     

    The first Eire referendum he opposed the EU constitution but France and Belgium sort to coerce by threatening to shut Ryanair out of regional airports, so he caved in and supported the EU in the second referendum. There is a lesson there as the EU is about coercive thuggery. S50 of the Lisbon treaty that we were supposed to get a vote on makes clear that the EU has to negotiate on future trading relationship, for the first year they broke treaty and refused to talk, now they say they cannot agree in time. As a result the most basic trade relationship of common standards on goods, flights etc as with the US or China has been deliberately sabotaged by the EU Germany, France, and now Eire. But of course they engage in patronising propaganda and threats to intimidate and blame Brexit voters.

    dear oh dear b c you missed the boat again, ohhhhleary has spent hours and hours last year threatening to withdraw flights following the brexit vote , use google and see just how many papers reported the many threats he has made. It's yesterday's news, btw as he has now, as reported this weekend and you missed it yet again, he has registered his interests to fly in u k airspace once the u k leaves the e u super state as he will be classed as a third country operator.

     

    correction he did his 180 on the 3 jan this year, I missed that one but here it is posted again for you:

    “And Brexit is just like, if I’m allowed to use this terminology, the s**t cherry on the s**t icing on the s**t cake that the Tories baked us all in the 1980s.”

     

     

    much the same as bown allowed the electorate love when he broke the manifesto pledge.

    He is President of the European Commission. Candidates are nominated the European Council and formally elected by the European Parliament (MEPs).

     

    Of course on the whole we vote hopless non entities to represent us in Europe so we kinda get what we deserve.

     

     

    In this instance Cameron didn't vote for this hapless useless intransigent g I t.

     

    However what waste of space did you vote for to make your comment credible.

    I don't see what it has to do with Brexit. Last I looked we were still fully paid up members of the EU and seem to be taking an AWFY long time to find the door out.

     

    Still straw clutching, it's noted. Unfortunately, putting lots of eggs into one rotten basket case does have consequences. And as may has intimated the u k is leaving the undemocratic political nightmare, in particular the royal 'we', the electorate, big mistake assuming that the tax payers are members, never invited in, in the first place, leaving the constraints of the so called union and protectionist market, all good things come to those who wait.

    The CBI warms a no deal could very bad for Britain but no doubt you business experts will disagree .

    did you miss the last 3 paragraphs?

     

    I have copied and pasted them for you in case you did

     

    However, Steve Baker, who chairs the influential European Research Group of Conservative MPs, said Drechsler was exaggerating the risks of falling back on the WTO, the Geneva-based institution that polices the global marketplace.

    “With respect, Mr Drechsler is wrong. Economists for Free Trade have shown the right policies under WTO rules would make the UK better off. The Legatum Institute Special Trade Commission has set out, amongst other things, how to deliver an efficient supply chain under WTO rules. I would encourage the CBI to engage with them both.”

    Economists for Free Trade, a campaign group previously known as Economists for Brexit, has produced a series of reports calling on the government to use leaving the EU as an opportunity to lower tariffs and become a “true global leader in free trade”.

    No ken sorry not good enough and he says if brexit goes wrong he will leave Britain what !!! if brexit goes wrong he should be held to account and strung up by the knackeres and I can assure you they will be queuing up to do it .

     

     

    yup nigels quite correct, there's a few more that needs to apologise for their actions and the damage that they have already caused to the u k (silence is deafening) and to some of the poor soles departed. has farage done any thing wrong to apologise. 17.5 million don't think so and the u k hasn't left YET.

    Hi Dave

     

    That would be Russell's 'Waterlog' collection, I believe.

    Hopefully we'll get a place at the fish-in, in which case we'll definitely be seeing you soon.

     

     

    Is that you Wayne? if so how are you doing and how's the eel fishing going? :D
