    If you want to buy Chinese,that is your choice. I was hoping you might buy British to help our own economy.

    If it's British you can be sure the Uigher  Muslims haven't been forced into making it.

    Just a sweatshop in Leicestershire instead.

    Do you have a TV? Is it made by Cello? If not why not?

    Do you own a washing machine? Is it made by Ebac? If not why not?

    Why ,if they cannot be bothered to sell their catches to me why should i care?

    Try getting mussels from british fishermen in the supermarkets ,go on try if they cannot be bothered to feed their own they deserve to fold

    Boris isnt putting anyone out of business the EU and their rules are ,if it was up to us drivers would vo straigt through dover but unfortunately this side is controlled by the french so they will make it as hard as possible

    It is not that they cannot be bothered to sell them. They are past their sell by date before they get there. Were you born a complete numpty, or do yo need to practice a little every day, just to keep your hand in?

    What is putting them out of busin ess is thick ****ers voting for sh!t they know f@ck all about but want to give Johnny Furriner a poke in the eye because he can't paint his bloody garden shed with creosote.

    You were TOLD about the rules five years ago. They were not invented just for you. But we were told that was Projhect Fear and that the |EU would just cave because we are Bwitish and we are exceptional. Well you are NOT so get bloody used to it.

    Will Donald trump last

    Good program on BBC2 today Chesters, ‘Cornwall, this fishing life,’ I’ve been watching this series along with the earlier one for sometime because it is an academic documentary on small fishing communities over time over seen by The Open University. From the previous year I have formed my own opinion that it is without political bias.

    Tonight’s episode centred around Newquay as the restrictions placed on the town and fishing fleet by BREXIT start to take a toll.

    Several of the boats, they are huge great boats, some I would estimate perhaps 6 to 8 metres long and are often so large that one bloke cannot always operate them alone, luckily for one chap his son’s school has been closed due to BREXIT so he has had him to help.

    The help was just at the right time, due to BREXIT the wholesaler he usually sold all his catch to had closed.
     

    Sat there on his boat just after he had spent hours resisting the urge to blame Boris by posting on social media and moaning about the Govt., whilst claiming all the benefits he can, he had a thought, picking up a lobster and saying that he would normally get £7 for it from the wholesaler (did I mention the wholesaler had closed because of BREXIT) and by the time it was served up on a table here or in the EU a further £25 could be added to the price of that shellfish. “I want a bit of that extra £25 he says.

    Unfortunately, due to BREXIT a lot of restaurants in his area had also closed but he sells his prime lobsters to a few locals and visitors and within a short while he is selling out everyday because people are telling their mates about his lobsters.

    Later in the programme he is catching crab and realises he only gets a few quid per kilo selling them to the wholesaler who has shut down due to BREXIT. But if he picks the meat he can sell it locally for £40 per kilo, in comes wifey, mum etc and they are off.

    Another guy on there, he is an ex Royal Navy Officer, to clarify he has served in the Navy and accepted to Officer training which, obviously he passed and therefore is awarded The Queen’s Commission meaning he is an Officer, his Grandfather, his Father and his Father before him had served in the Royal Navy. It was plain to see the pride in his eyes when he spoke of his grandson “making it as an Officer” I wonder how the guy would feel if he knew these days it is apparently commonplace to refer to someone as an Officer as soon as the paint is dry on their footlocker.

    Grandad finished Commercial fishing last year at the age of 92!

    Anyway Chesters, if you get a chance watch it on iPlayer. Sorry Phone yet again you miss opportunity because of some tea!

    Lots on there showing the survival instinct and reacting to the changes BREXIT is bringing.

    EDIT; Just read through this before posting and I’ve made a silly mistake, I can’t be bothered to go back and correct it all but please where I have written “BREXIT” please substitute “CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC”

    Don't tell chesters. Tell the owners of Dartmouth Crab Company. Or they could really take back control and land them in Denmark.

    A question for Phone

    Cory - All

    First, DC operates under federal law. The federal government has the death penalty.

    SECOND, As many as they catch, even if they were in the parking lot down the street will be charged with the federal crime  of murder. Then sentences will be meted out based on culpability.  I can not express strongly enough this ain't stealing candy bars from K-Mart.  They (government on both sides of the isle) are not f-cking kidding.  This is a first in our 300+ years history and we are scared shitless.

    AN issue mentioned only in academic circles and scholarly articles is a "race" issue. By 2034 the white population will be the minority. Also,

    the massive disparity in wealth.  The stock market has produced a class of "centabillionairs". New comers they are calling a lot more of the shots .  Right now, old rich still controls the back room.

    Again, YES, they will be charged with murder as well as a plethora of lesser charges

    Phone

    Trump is not the disease. The suppurating sore that is Trump is a symptom of a deeper malady in your society. I think you are right. Some folks are worried about what way tre demographics are trending.

    The one I read was a long time ago but it stuck in my mind...

    Bloke falls out with his ex girlfriend, goes to a friend and asks to borrow his car to drive the distance to her house to give her a hiding.

    Friend obliges, matey goes too far and beats ex to death.

    Even though the car owner was miles away and did not accompany the assailant he was convicted of Felony Murder.

    Don’t remember the State.

    If you think it’s a bit harsh it is a law that goes back to medieval Britain that has been repealed.

    It is controversial. Holle yes but the wee girl? That is a bit harsh for a kid. She should be in school. Anyway that's another thread.
