    THE EU has been accused of performing “mischievously” after it impounded a lorry because the driver didn’t have customs papers for his lunch.

    The farcical situation emerged whilst jobsworth officers in Dublin wouldn’t permit the M&S lorry enter Northern Ireland no matter all of the office work being correct.

    Determined to locate fault, they then puzzled whether or not the driving force had documentation for a sandwich sitting inside the cab which he had offered for his lunch.

    When he did not produce it, the lorry changed into forbidden from crossing the border, in step with Archie Norman, the chairman of Marks and Spencer.

    Speaking to the Telegraph he accused the EU’s customs union guidelines of relationship from a “bygone technology when the gadget became deliberately protectionist and the technology primitive”.

    When the United Kingdom formally left the bloc in January this caused large troubles – especially with relatively perishable products which depend on a present day and speedy-transferring system to reach at the cabinets on time.

    Speaking to columnist Charles Moore, Mr Norman stated the EU was being “simple stupid, or mischievous, or both”.


    The M&S leader additionally insisted that these problems could be looked after out “one hundred percent” if the EU showed willingness.

    Mr Moore added: “Short cuts are not allowed.

    It is not viable to get, say, monthly clearance for butter from a selected depot that could then cowl all sandwiches therefore buttered.

    “The butter for each sandwich need to be in my opinion cleared. For agri-meals imports, 8 documents are required per lorry, amounting to 720 pages.

    “Some M&S documents were refused completely because they were written in blue ink in preference to in black.

    “There are comparable issues for lawn flora and trees, drug treatments and pets.”

    The records emerged after Mr Norman warned that M&S is already reducing Christmas merchandise in Northern Ireland due to concerns over approaching publish-Brexit customs exams.



    Mr Norman told the BBC that the cutting-edge “useless” checks with the Republic of Ireland have been “threatening” to its commercial enterprise.

    He referred to as for a “not unusual sense approach to enforcement.”

    “This Christmas, I can let you know already, we’re having to make choices to delist product for Northern Ireland because it’s certainly now not really worth the hazard of seeking to get it through,” he stated.

    “We’ve already made that selection.

    “We’re waiting to look how critical it’s going to be but if it is whatever like southern Ireland (the Republic of Ireland), and in the intervening time it’s set to be, then it’ll be very, very extreme for clients.”

    In a letter to Brexit Minister Lord Frost, Mr Norman stated the modern EU customs preparations were “absolutely unsuited and were in no way designed for a modern-day fresh food supply chain among intently intertwined trading partners”.

    Government stated Mr Norman’s letter changed into a “stark warning” of “the fundamental problems with the Protocol”.

    “That is why we want to urgently tackle these issues, to ensure there may be minimal disruption to human beings’s lives in Northern Ireland, as the Protocol itself intended,” it brought.

    Earlier this week Lord Frost announced he’ll monitor plans to dispose of most assessments on the island of Ireland.

    He referred to as for a renegotiation of the Protocol – something that the EU has refused to do.

    I like your style Staines but I'm not sure it would work in a modern Britain... Saying that my lot need to buck up their ideas. <doh> Maybe you could be right.

    It probably would work as you would have MPs who were willing to speak their mind, oppose Tory tyranny and fight for their working class communities.

    Politics would be far more exciting

    EXPELLED LABOUR MEMBERS CONSIDERING FORMING NEW PARTY
    please log in to view this image


    Thousands of far-left loons are considering forming a new party following their expulsion from Labour last week. Members of Labour Against the Witch-Hunt – one of four groups purged by Starmer for claiming the party’s antisemitism crisis was overstated – can be seen discussing the plans in an emergency Zoom meeting held on Saturday, during which they claim:

    Their expulsion proves “we have been a thorn in the side of the Labour Party Right, and we should take that as a compliment.”
    Starmer has been “pandering directly to the establishment“, and the far-left should capitalise on Labour’s impending collapse.
    The “biggest party in Britain today is the ex-Labour Party. People who’ve been expelled, people who’ve been suspended.”
    A new socialist party “is coming into creation, that will have the energy and the vitality that the Corbyn party was beginning to show that it had”.
    The group are also planning to hold an event in Brighton at the same time as Labour Party conference (in what they’re affectionately calling a kind of “Counter-Conference“). One voice on the call even floated the idea of “forcing” Jeremy Corbyn to become their leader…

    Not that I’m particularly fond of her ways and means but the attack on a Christian Fundamentalist preacher at Speakers corner seems rather disturbing......what’s even more disturbing is that there seems to be hardly any reporting of the incident.
