Welcome to the Brexit

The EU made a 4,24billion euro fund available to compensate businesses and countries for Brexit. Among the sectors most hit: transport companies and the fish industry.

Some people did probably vote without realising what Brexit means in terms of living abroad amongst other things.

Yes, indeed, among other things like believing that 350million to the NHS will save their local hospital or believing that the UK would never leave the SIngle market/custom union. Gives some context to the narrow "victory" of the Brexiteers.

UK minister of fishing says she did not read the agreement because she prepared a party.

UK ministers could or should have read A.net and they would had been informed.

---------------------


Fishing minister Victoria Prentis yesterday said she did not read the deal when it was published on Christmas Eve because she was busy having festive fun. She said, rather than assessing the deal ahead of a crucial vote, she was "very busy organising local Nativity trail".

But appearing before a Commons committee, she added: “I think the deal is a good one for the UK, in fisheries terms, it’s true to say that we had, as an industry, dreamed some pretty big dreams and in some cases it’s true to say that we didn’t get everything we asked for.”

https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics ... ia-prentis

I had planned to ask our british friends here how they were enjoying their 3% extra fish, but, given all that's going on, that would probably be a little insensitive.



Don't worry though: she knew what she was voting for!

She probably still hasn't read it and will never read it, just like everyone in this cabinet of dumbos.

It seems like direct connections Ireland EU / France being set up in big numbers and Irish haulers avoids UK.

---------------------

DUBLIN — Ferry companies in Ireland are pulling some of their newest, biggest vessels from British routes to boost “Brexit buster” services direct to the Continent.

Such sea routes were unpopular before Brexit, when the U.K. landbridge linking Dover in southeast England with Holyhead in Wales gave truckers a much faster path between Ireland and the Continent.

But after new U.K.-EU trade rules kicked in January 1, a dysfunctional New Year’s rollout of customs checks is driving unprecedented demand for alternatives that avoid the hassle of Britain.

Jacob Rees-Mogg, told MPs: "The key is we've got our fish back. They're now British fish. They're better and happier fish for it.”

https://www.politico.eu/article/brexit- ... pier-fish/

[threeid][/threeid]Meanwhile, to circumvent the red tape on British exports, Scottish fishermen are landing their catch directly in the Denmark, EU.

Because of red tape and queues fish landed in the UK is no longer fresh when it reaches European customers.

'Seafood From Scotland' said prices for many species of seafood have fallen 40% to 50% just this week, with some dropping as much as 80% even!

“Boris Johnson probably forgot to explain what leaving the EU would mean for fishermen’s ability to sell to the European market”.

Exports to the EU will plunge by more than one-third because of Boris Johnson’s hard Brexit trade deal, a new study predicts.

Total UK trade will nosedive by 13 per cent, according to the London School of Economics (LSE) analysis, making a mockery of the government’s claims of a buccaneering “Global Britain” outside the bloc

Most are happier as nobody is trying to get them caught (as long as they stay in UK waters) and thus don't end up in a French restaurant being eaten. Maybe we should tell all shellfish that they should migrate to UK waters instead of EU waters. It will save their life.

The most interesting is that we here at A.net saw this happening last year but the UK minister of fishing did not recognizing this before this week.

The most happy of this is probably ports in countries like Denmark where the UK fishermen go with their fish to land it withing SM. So we now have a situation that the smart UK fishermen fish their fish and instead of making their home towns getting the profit an making UK export the fish, EU ports is the big winners beside the fish.

UK ports handling Irish haulers and maintaining ferries is also being shortcut for direct Ireland EU connections meaning that working opportunities in UK leaves to Ireland and France.

And we know a great source of modern hightech ships that can be converted to freighters for the Irish/mainland EU trade. (see cruise liner thread. LOL)

Welcome to the Brexit

But this is a good thing, less money spent in the EU more money spent in the UK. They should sell the property in the UK and buy something on the coast in the UK. It is a win-win for the UK.

How is selling a property in the UK and buying something on the coast in the UK a win win.

Besides who would buy a holiday home in the UK. Surely you would just go to a hotel.

Besides the weather in Spain is good for most of the year. In the UK, it is very doubtful between October and April.

Genuine question : did UK people historically eat more fish ? And maybe with increasing income switched to eating more meat ?

I get that things can be more popular some places and less in others, but I don't get how basically nobody in the UK eat shellfish.

I saw a graph on twitter showing that UK citizens spent very little money on food so that might be an explanation.

Fish used to be a poor man's meal.

Hence eating Fish on Friday.

It's only a win for the government really as you may have to pay stamp duty which is basically money for nothing... And it's a loss for locals if people from other parts of the Uk buying holiday homes drives up the price of property.

Well, I guess there will be nice deals to make in Spain for the ones that can afford theses homes....

I did that 3 years ago when negotiations went bad UK EU.

UK citizens in Torrevieja, Alicante was desperate and I got a nice department 100 meters from beaches Playa de la cura and Playa los locos (one of the nicest areas) for 20% below market price from a lady from UK desperate to get home.

I had cash after selling an department in Chile a few month before and offered a fast business.

I'm quoting from some vague memories here, so it might not be accurate, but I heard something like this...

Historically, communities were clustered around the coast and and rivers so the diet was actually quite seafood based for most people. The less-populated interior of the British Isles was mostly woodland under control of the various lords, knights, etc. ruling their own fiefdoms. As such, the rich enjoyed hunting and had a very meat-heavy diet. By medieval times, the amount of meat and poultry in your diet was a show of your wealth and standing - so the larger and more extravagant the feast you held in your castle, the more important you were. Meat has become something aspirational.

Farming brought the general population inland, but a few animals as livestock still only allowed you to eat meat occasionally during the year - which tended to be saved for special occasions. Hence the Sunday Roast and the Christmas Dinner. Meat is seen as something of a luxury. Fish is still consumed in large quantities around the coast, but more of the population is now on a crop and dairy farming based diet, with occasional meat.

In the post-war era, farming ramps up meat production so that this "luxury" is now readily available. Everyone expects to eat meat all the time. Fish goes out of fashion.

So as I understand it, it starts as a kind of a fashion statement thing: meat for the rich, fish for the poor, but then it becomes normalised - as a population becomes wealthier everyone wants to eat a lot of meat. In fact, this is something you see across the globe. Factory farming, supermarkets and fast food chains all add to that perception in modern times.

I think the Mediterranean countries may be a bit of an outlier since they tend to be fiercely conservative when it comes to food traditions and local produce. Britain might have gone a bit further than much of Europe as it went through bigger social changes, faster and earlier during the Industrial Revolution.

It seems that City bankers never learn. It's only a few days and the City is actively looking for loopholes and circumventing EU rules. The thing is, anyone dealing with the ECB, ESMA or any other EU based financial regulator would know that these institutions are very allergic towards this type of behaviour. Thus if the City really wants all those deals with the EU, the behaviour of some of its traders is not very supportive. They can only hope that the ECB just doesn't issue another regulation which will restrict their business even more. Then again, they're City bankers and they cannot comprehend how to behave when dealing with the EU institutions (my apologies for this personal rant).

Others may also just be trying to finesse the system. Less than two weeks after Brexit fully kicked in, European regulators raised a red flag. U.K. financiers are resorting to “questionable practices” to improperly preserve the status quo, the Paris-based European Securities and Markets Authority said in a statement Wednesday.

Moments after the UK left the EU with an 11th-hour deal, the first trucks hauling goods across the new customs border presented their clearance documents to French agents before loading on to a train to pass through the Eurotunnel.

With Britain having finally quit the EU single market and customs union, there were no early signs of feared chaos at the border in the first hours of 1 January 2021.

That's a religious thing and nothing to do with being poor. Friday is a fast day in the catholic and eastern orthodox churches so they refrain from eating animal meat. Because fish is cold blooded it's considered not to be meat, so they can eat it. Hence fish on a Friday.

Meanwhile, the immediate successes of Brexit keep piling up:

While thousands of traders and salespeople from middle management have already made the move to the EU, the next wave is likely to include the high-flyers who advise on strategy, mergers and capital raising, say more than a dozen officials at global institutions. For those dealmakers who will be on the move, the issue is one of access. Bankers in London can no longer directly pitch transactions or capital-raising operations to corporate clients on the continent. They require the involvement of a so-called chaperone -- a colleague within the EU to make the first move to contact the client with a business idea.

Senior investment bankers said in interviews that the first few days of the year were marked by compliance classes for them, getting drilled on the changes faced by a sovereign Britain that would further erode London’s significance. The prospect of losing a highly paid cadre of taxpayers is particularly bad news for the U.K., since it relies so much on financial services for revenue

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles ... nto-the-eu

And the Scottish fishing lobby is feeling betrayed by Johnson too:

- overall the quota available for fishermen did not increase, contrary to promisses from Brexiteers
- the UK is still lacking agreements with EEA countries to continue fishing in their waters, holding many ships at dock
- tons of new red tape prevents UK fishermen to export fish quickly (and fresh) to the EU
- sale prices have plummeted, putting many companies at risk of failure.

Seriously, how long before the Brexiteers will turn Norway? The fact that UK fishers cannot fish in Norwegian waters must be killing for some in the industry. No doubt, one can spin this as Norway playing the game of waiting until tehre aren't any UK fishers to fish in Norwegian waters and thus have it all for themselves (OK together with the Europeans). Norway must be pleased that the British media is too preoccupied with the EU that it neglects the issues of UK fishers in Norwegian waters.

From the daily (good) news show surrounding Brexit.

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/20 ... businesses

The summary:

UK fish exporters are unable to sell into European markets because of delays at borders and complain that Boris Johnson and others misled them about Brexit. Leading supermarket chains are warning ministers of food shortages in Northern Ireland because of new border rules and bureaucracy. And small UK companies which thrived as part of the EU single market, are saying they may have no future at all in exporting into continental Europe because of the crippling new costs.

Before, you put something in a box, sent it off with a courier and it got to the customer in a day or two days without any friction, just like sending something within this country.

Now, first there is a “Brexit charge”, as the couriers are calling it, an export fee of £4.50 for every parcel shipped to the EU to cover costs of extra administration and form filling that couriers must carry out.
Second, there is a “deferment account fee” of £5 per parcel that covers couriers’ costs of pre-paying import charges in the destination country.
And third, a “disbursement charge” which is set at different levels in each EU country with a minimum of about €14 per parcel, or calculated as a percentage of the value of the goods, whichever is the higher, plus VAT in the destination country. This covers the costs of the tax authority in the recipient country inspecting and processing the parcels.

It will be a while before the figures for Q1 or even for January are known. So we'll have to do with anecdotical evidence from a few specific sectors like fishery and finance. I concur it will be interesting to see the data emerge.
