Good Post-Brexit news!!!

^ I did think the other day how much better the NHS will be doing this January what with all the extra money promised to them whilst people went out to vote for Brexit and the NHS.^

Michael Rosen is backing a campaign for more money for the NHS:

He writes: “If we’ve learned anything from the last year, it’s that the government has levers which can literally ‘create money’.”

Rosen, who said the NHS saved his life many times over, added: “We’re entitled to say, ‘If you can raise cash like that for an emergency, why not raise it for the service that looks after us from cradle to the grave. We are the country. Without us, there is no country. What could be more important?’”

The New Deal for the NHS, organised by the patient-led pressure group Just Treatment, says the pandemic has exposed the need for “transformative investment” of £33bn a year in the NHS or 1.5% of GDP.

(The campaign) concedes that the £33bn sounds like a lot, “but when £22bn has been wasted on a completely ineffective Covid test and trace programme it makes the cost of a health system that can properly care for us when we need it seem reasonable.”

Can we eat skate wings from Essex whilst sitting our Nissans?

Just listening to a wine importer about systematic difficulties and cost since Brexit.

And moaning and complaining about it helps because...?

Feel free to call it moaning and complaining. It’s your democratic right. But we also have a right to hold people to account for the lies and false promises. That’s our democratic right.

Oh well rant and moan away if it makes you feel better but it's more likely to have the opposite effect.
However, this thread was started for good news re brexit and despite good news being posted you've dragged it back to complaining. Why not start your own 'Brexit is awful' thread and let us pragmatists share positive information?

Even if it is just to make us feel a little bit better to share our dismay with like minded people- it is worth it.

Churchill was pro- Europe and pro EU.

Methinks Espana didn’t know that. But, if they did can they explain what exactlyChurchill would tell me. Probably that we’d just left the greatest peace keeping initiative in history perhaps.

There’s a difference between teething problems and having all your teeth extracted.

Sometimes I wish we had a 'like' facility

or love travelling and spending time in Spain?

Why would someone chose "espana" as a username? Possibly because they live in Spain?

Indeed. I certainly won't ge giving it a rest, for sure.

But your name, in this context, is more than a bit 'strange'.

Churchill was pro- Europe and pro EU.

Can’t be bothered. Getting on with something more interesting and productive. Really feel that the naysayers really would like our nation to be brought low just to be proved right! Churchill would have something to tell you.

Espana

As I said: give it a rest.

Why?

As I said: give it a rest.

lol says someone who calls her (him) self Espana ...

won't be long actually.

Give it a rest. Those who voted remain will never let it go until the rest of us are abjectly weeping with remorse. They will wait a very long time!

flump there was always paperwork. Now it's a matter of getting certain codes absolutely right as they then trigger various exemptions as appropriate to the cargo. Obviously, there are training issues but once people grasp the changes import/export should go more smoothly than currently.

MaizieD lots of skate wings along with many other types of fish in Essex still, the boats go out from Leigh-on-Sea, and they deliver your orders direct to your door.

Along with all varieties of shellfish.

I'm glad to hear that, *GG138. That's the one thing I really missed in my Northern exile, a good range of fish on sale! For a long time the only choices have mainly been cod, haddock and plaice...

But Essex is a coastal county. Inland doesn't look so good.

I see that these (Essex fish and Nissan) are really still not good news unless the status-quo obtaining is good news.
The Nissan thing is good in that jobs won’t be lost but is not so good if you’d rather buy, say, an Audi!

Do they deliver to your door if you live in Newcastle?

I get meat delivered from Scotland, there are many fish/meat companies delivering nationwide at the moment due to the fact that their usual buyers (hospitality industry) are not open.

James Martin the chef has details on his website as do many other chefs.
