I know it’s hard to swollow the pain of self inflicted harm it’s hard but never mind I understand.
Shall we make it a little more simple if that’s possible . Now you know about the brexit promise LESS RED TAPE when trading with our biggest trading partner the European Union but somehow miraculously
it’s turned out when we left the EU we got more red tape not less as promised by the brexit gods making our goods imported into brexit land even more expensive for you 
any ideas on that one it’s a mystery ???? but was predicted by the remain camp .
Just when you thought things couldn’t get any worse here in Brexitland .And now just announced the brexit tax to fuel inflation even more
just for you Ken 
Many UK businesses which import food products from the European Union will have to pay a special “Brexit tax” that will further drive up prices, particularly in smaller shops such as delicatessens, under proposals set out by the government last week.
The planned charge of £43 per consignment, outlined in a consultation document issued by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), was described on Saturday by a leading industry figure as “the sting in the tail of a post-Brexit food inspection regime” that was already fuelling inflation
You got a pre-2016 source for this supposed "brexit promise LESS RED TAPE when trading with our biggest trading partner the European Union"?

Really Ken so we have worse living standards than say Germany
Our 20% of the poorest in brexitland are actually worse off than Poland’s are , yes Poland !!!!! you keep frying your head Ken the excuse book is full to the brim .
Estonia , Lithuania , Latvia Hungary really is that it is that your exuses !!!!!!! hook me !!! Your sounding more and more like that lunatic Nadine Dorries she has lost the plot totally .
And of course in the real world away from the brexit loons .
Brexit to blame for rising inflation, says former Bank of England governor Mark Carney says Bank’s negative predictions about consequences of leaving EU ‘proven to be the case’yes
Brexit is to blame for the soaring inflation driving the cost of living crisis in the UK, a former governor of the Bank of England has said.
Mark Carney, who pro-Brexit figures said should have been fired for warning about the economic dangers of leaving the EU prior to the vote, said he took no pleasure in being proven right because the resultant hardship had been placed on the backs of millions of ordinary British people. The Brexiteers lied .
“We laid out in advance of Brexit that this will be a negative supply shock for a period of time and the consequence of that will be a weaker pound, higher inflation and weaker growth,” Carney said.“There’s no joy in saying, well, ‘we told you so’ because people are having to live with that reality.”
About a month before the referendum in 2016, the Bank of England – under Carney’s leadership – warned Britain could slide into recession if it voted to leave.
He rejected the claims of pro-Brexit figures including the Tory MP Jacob Rees-Mogg, who accused him of political bias and called for his removal for intervening, saying the Bank had a responsibility to the country to lay out the likely economic realities.
So I was right all along , WEAK POUND, WEAKER GROWTH and wait for it HIGHER INFLATION .and don’t forget those very very juicy MORTGAGE and BORROWING rates about to increase for the 10th time running here in Brexitland .
Are we about to see repossessions on scale like the 80s under the then Tory government, it’s looking like it’s going that way in Brexitland as we speak .Who are in there right mind would vote to purposely try and empty there very own pockets only fools .You must be dripping in cash Ken lad because of brexit it’s haemorrhaging away at speed out of your pockets at a rate of knots . .
Sorry Kenny lad Your shot to pieces again !!!I can actually feel myself getting dumber, while trying to read that.

Facts facts facts you don’t really like let them do you ,
USA inflation 4%
Uk inflation you tell me Ken give me the facts .
Why is the U.K. bottom of G7 wirh growth you tell me the facts why brexitland is doing so bad .
6 million Turks coming to Britain Infact that was a lie just one of many .
The Tory’s are in all out civil war and Brexit is the cancer in there party ripping it apart , but that’s what you get for lying constantly it always come back to get you .The Brexiteer loons in the Conservative Party who have paralysed it the ERG will soon be history cast into the sewer where they belong .
Now watch Johnson lie to his back teeth on brexit , the deceit it’s payback time .
How long to the rejoin referendum the odds are shortening very very fast Ken , don’t miss the boat it’s easy money get a few quid on Kenny lad and make a packet . You know it makes sense
Well, you managed one fact before going back to the questions.
Yes, year ending May 23 inflation in the US was 4% - but it's only 4%, because there has been an 11.7% drop in energy prices. Food price inflation in the same period, was 6.7%.
The cost of food in European Union increased 15.04% in the same period.
ONS data shows that the annual rate of UK food and non-alcoholic beverage prices inflation increased to 19.1% in the 12 months to March 2023.
Within Europe, food prices rose by 20.5% in Germany, 49.6% in Hungary, 21.2% in Poland, 29% in Slovakia, 33.5% in Lithuania, 29.4% in Latvia, and 30.8% in Estonia.
So why would you imagine that being part of the EU is protective against high inflation?

Facts facts facts Kenny lad what’s our inflation rate and what’s the USA inflation rate I will let you tell me !!!!! You’ve got all the facts .I will wait patiently for your reply .
. Hasn’t there inflation took a tumble and halved over the last month and here in brexitland it’s-just below double figures is that a fact . And of course here in brexitland it’s costing you an absolute packet food 20-100% increases . And of course your mortgage which within the year will see thousands and thousands of repossessions taking place a disaster on a biblical scale is about to unfold here in brexit.land This happened under Margeret thatcher the Tory government in office at the time history is about to repeat itself under this Tory government for which you put your faith in .
And of course brexit which has paralysed the Conservative Party , the Brexiteer loons have destroyed it the great Conservative party now lays in ruins because of a few headbangers .But so so many people can see right through it Boris love me Johnson has the likes of Daily Mail the enemy of the people who employed a low life of a man who made the rules and who’s was partying while so many lost family members and couldn’t be with them in the final moments . I never though politics couldn’t get anymore lower than a snakes belly but the daily fail tops the lot .
But the public will pay then back that’s 1000% for sure .
Those are questions, not facts.
Perhaps this will help:
-
No facts, just assertions.

Thunderstorms washing sewage and organic matter into the water, followed by a bacterial bloom that uses up all the oxygen.
It must have been a major sewage inflow in this case because it happened well up the river, the water up there moves quite fast, has heaps of plant life and regular weirs.

I'm seeing reports of a major fish kill on the Warwickshire Avon.
If anybody is planning on fishing it over the opening weekend, you might want to do a bit of digging around to find more news.

If Brexit is anti-business, why do we now export more goods and services to the EU than before Brexit?
As for small private businesses, there are 80% more in the UK now than there were in 2010, and while they took about a 6.6% drop since 2020, almost all of that can be put down to Covid, and we see similar business failures around the world.

No I didn't. It's out there on the right of the graph. Their electricity is much cheaper than the rest of Western Europe, because 70% of it is derived from nuclear - something that we should have done years ago.
As for food prices, go look at the graphics kindly provided by Ant.
-
The actual average UK cost of electricity per kWh is 52p per kWh, but with the new Energy Price Guarantee, it will average 34p per kWh.
Let's see how that compares with the EU:
So, it seems we're cheaper than Ireland Greece, Denmark and Czechia...
Failed again.

It's only there to keep the rubbish out but if you need one, all sorts can be found on Ali-Express for a couple of quid and you should find one to fit.

He'll be doing the stereotypical Brit abroad thing.
Shouting slowly at foreigners in English, swilling cheap beers, complaining about how greasy the local food is and lamenting the bygone days when Britain had a say in the lives of the natives - as part of the EU of course......

That could have ended badly.
Thankfully, everything turned out okay.

He's already lost - at least in terms of public opinion.
The more interesting legal case that he's embroiled in, though, is the one that might see him booted out of the US.

Social media and the fact that angling is now very much an old man's pursuit - and sadly, old men don't last forever.

Haven't seen John for a while but Elton looks in occasionally. Night be worth dropping him s a PM about Keith.
As for images. They're easier to upload now than they've ever been.

I hope he doesn't buy his chicken here it's twice the price of Tesco and Tesco isn't the cheapest in my book .Perhaps Spain is using the brexit excuse to fleece the gullible ex pats into thinking it effects Spanish chickens
I think the dagos won't be kicking out the ex pats it's the only frickin income Spain has in winter

Clods idiotic example isn't faring much better
https://www.indexmundi.com/commodities/?commodity=chicken&months=120¤cy=inr
I thought this was more relevant for Clod - Brexit has a lot to answer for:
-
The UK economy has outgrown Germany's since Brexit, and Germany is heading into recession.
Meanwhile, if clod has moved to Spain, I don't think he's going to like the new government after next month's election.

Yep, the Irish government are talking about culling 200,000 head of cattle in pursuit of the same crazy EU agenda that impacted Dutch farmers.
When beef prices get hiked as a result, no doubt that will be due to Brexit.
At least, we now have the option of buying from the US or Australia.
Well. That could have gone better,
in Coarse Fishing

Just got back from an afternoon session on the Severn at Arley.
Arrived to see the river coloured after last night's rain, and it rose 6cm while we were there.
I fished two rods, both with pellets in the feeder, and meat on the hook, but the setup on the downstream rod was lighter, with a smaller hook and bait.
I had one classic "three foot twitch" on the big rod, but failed to connect, and just two bites on the lighter rod that produced eels.
We had planned to fish into dusk but packed up after a bunch of bell-ends in inflatables ruined what little chance we had of fish moving in.
