Good News about Brexit! ✅

The Dept for International Trade said the agreement would include goods like sugar and fish imported from the islands 10,000 miles away. Total trade between Britain and the area is worth about £369m per annum.

The Pacific islands deal is part of the UK Government's pledge to use trade to reduce poverty in developing nations. (Source as above.)

Every cloud and all that. I am not keen on fish so wouldn’t eat it wherever it came from.

And we're going to be importing fish from ….Fiji and Papua New Guinea! What on earth?

My own experience is that fish from tropical waters are a very poor substitute for cold water fish we are used to, so I am not expecting a great rush of trade on that front.

Good news? I'll leave it to you to decide.

I'm not a leaver but have enjoyed the jokes, especially about the Eurocat.

The good news is that Krispy Creme have sent me a voucher for a smiley donut plus another one of my choice.
The really good news is that I let a lady and two children in Tesco choose the donuts as I'm off cakes.
Smiles all round...?? ? ?‍?‍?????

Berkow is a berk.
He suffers from little man syndrome and I'd love to wipe that smirk off his face once and for all.

But we know about fish and gas. Gas not to be installed in homes beyond 2025, and fish we will be looking to sell to Iceland if we ever leave the EU after Berkow's ruling.

Along with the above, we will be inundated with Dracula films. I think that's where he came from being that Transylvania was the former title of Lichtenstein, was it not?

Not.
But petra knows!

How amazing that some remainers know so little about the geography of Europe!!

Transylvania is a region in Romania. I've been there many times.

I believe Transylvania is somewhere in the Balkans!

Hmm. Perhaps you're right. Must admit Bilbo Baggins does come to mind.

But I like Bilbo Baggins!

Cute?
No, he looks like a wee garden gnome with mad hair,
sitting a big green chair
Shouting Order, Order!

You can't blame Mr Berkow can you? (Does anyone else thinks he's quite cute?)

Not while he's wearing that tie.

nanasam You've given me the best Christmas present ever ??

On whether there "should or should not be a new referendum held on whether Britain should leave the EU or remain a member":

There should: 38%
There should not: 52%

Yougov today.

I put it on to signal ‘all is good’. I thought it appropriate for this thread. It can also signify ‘a positive reinforcement’.

I’m still optimistic and hoping for more GOOD NEWS to share on here.

B9exchange Quote [Liam Fox reports trade deals with Iceland, Norway and... Lichtenstein!]

Great, Britain will now be OK for fish (which we will have plenty of from our own fleet following Brexit) and gas, which the government wants us all to stop using by 2025.

Along with the above, we will be inundated with Dracula films. I think that's where he came from being that Transylvania was the former title of Lichtenstein, was it not?

Me too,
Is it the ‘Suitable for Vegans’ sign

Just curious about the green tick attached to this thread, did you put that on Urmston?

Thanks Urmstongran,
If we loose our sense of humour, we surely will be doomed.
Do you remember Dads Army, ?can’t think of his name,
What was his saying, ‘ Doomed we’re all Doomed.

Nice one Bridgeit! Very quick.

I for one am enjoying this gentler Brexit thread. There’s enough doom and gloom on the other Brexit threads - one poster called this one ‘pathetic’. How mean!

? well he’s certainly sowing the seeds of doubt about his abilities & capabilities.

Corbyn seems strangely silent for the Leader of the Opposition?

You’d think he’d be out there gunning the PM down. But perhaps a new seed catalogue has arrived.

?I agree Nanasam
