Would I let you down on posting a Brexit news story? Of course not! I posted that story yesterday!

You got me on that, my skim-reading skills need improving!
I'm slightly sceptical of Tim Martin's correction though. If you've got an issue with the original article, would the first port of call not be the publication you gave the interview too, the Daily Telegraph? They should have a recording of the interview.

Re: Britain outside the EU
Not really - if you’re as influential as Tim Martin, it’s easier and more effective to get rival publications to slag off whoever misquoted you, especially if some of those publications referenced the original article, because they have no primary evidence of the original interview and are more vulnerable to a defamation claim. The Telegraph isn’t going to print a retraction unless it has to, and by then the news cycle has moved on and nobody notices. The misquote story got fairly extensive broadcast coverage yesterday - arguably, more than the original story. Job done as far as Mr Spoons is concerned.
Defamation cases are long, expensive affairs. If you have sufficient influence, it is usually better to play the news media than to fight it.

Re: Britain outside the EU
Good news.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-57347874
Quote:
The UK has signed a post-Brexit trade deal with Norway, Iceland and Lichtenstein, the government has announced.
The agreement will be a major boost for trade between the four non-EU nations, which is already worth £21.6bn, UK minister Liz Truss said.
She claimed it would boost sectors such as digital, and cut tariffs on UK farm products, such as cheese and meat.
Britain is Norway's main trading partner outside the EU.
The UK government said reduced import tariffs on shrimps, prawns and haddock would cut costs for UK fish processing, helping to support jobs in Scotland, East Yorkshire and northern Lincolnshire.

Probably main European trading partner outside the EU, as we know the EU isn’t Europe.

You’re reading the sentence backwards. The UK is Norway’s main trading partner, not vice versa.

The article clearly states Britain is Norway’s biggest trading partner.
So any reference to yankland is irrelevant.

Brussels will start a trade war with Britain if Boris Johnson overrides the Brexit treaty so that Northern Irish shops can keep selling British sausages, a vice-president of the European Commission has warned.

I expect the usual crap from the resident Remainers on this forum.

Re: Britain outside the EU
I believe that Telegraph readers are clever enough to see through this framing for what it really is - breaking international law.

Femi We break international law and you're framing that to your Telegraph readers as THE EU starting the trade war?! Do you think they're stupid? #SausageWars

Re: Britain outside the EU
My wife pre-ordered a limited edition "Best of" CD from FNAC in France, international postage included.
The money was taken from Paypal on the day of release.
2 weeks later it had not arrived here, so I emailed FNAC.
Their response was an immediate refund and an apology stating that they no longer export to the UK due to the problems caused by Brexit.
