[Lorries used to transport British shellfish have
parked on the roads near Downing Street after experiencing delays getting into the EU due to new Brexit rules. At least 10 lorries were parked up, with one carrying the slogan "Brexit Carnage" as shellfish companies protested against severe delays transporting their produce to the EU following a change in rules. Police were asking the drivers for their details. Many Scottish and Welsh fishermen have been unable to export their stocks to Europe since the start of the year after the introduction of catch certificates, health checks and customs declarations have meant lengthy delays getting into the EU.] https://news.sky.com/story/brexit-sh...order-12191385 The Government must help their Scottish offices to get the new paperwork sorted.

Seems like those who voted for Brexit wanted to be able to have control over their own borders but expect to have no changes at all to them entering other countries..........

That comment was aimed at Arista/the border posse, not the Scottish drivers trying to do their job.

Yup, dump that rotten seafood on the laps of the incompetent politicians, if they can't get Brexit done quickly and efficiently they deserve to be swimming in ****.

if we had remained in the customs union, this wouldn't have been a problem, but the fishing industry was strongly against that. So, honestly, this is what they wanted, and now they have it

The seafood industry has warned fishing businesses could collapse within days, but Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab on Sunday said the delays were just "teething problems".
He told the BBC he was "not convinced" the delays were because of the government's trade deal with the EU and argued it will "create huge, sustainable opportunities" for the sector. Last Wednesday, Prime Minister Boris Johnson told a committee of MPs that fishing businesses would be compensated for what he described as "temporary frustrations". |

People voted for this, they voted for the chaos they were warned about and ignored because it didn't align with the cosy rainbow future the Brexit politicians promised. Fools, the lot of them.
Everything that happens now is on the heads of the voters that enabled it to happen. People wanted this, and they'll have it. |

I hope the shellfish starts to rot and they dump the whole lot on Boris' doorstep.
