Re: Britain outside the EU
My ongoing endeavours to find good Brexit news and maintain my balanced approach to the subject have unearthed this.
Quote:
An ancient, albeit controversial delicacy may be banned from the UK as Brexit leaves the Government free to control UK imports more closely.
Foie gras looks set to be struck from the country’s menus as ministers look to tighten laws surrounding animal welfare.
The delicacy, which is often seen here either pan fried or as a pâté, is the artificially fattened liver of a goose or duck and is made using gavage, the practice of force-feeding the birds twice or three times daily, often via a tube inserted down their throat. This results in the liver growing, typically, to six times its usual size. In some form, artificially fattening birds has happened since the days of the Ancient Egyptians.

Probably not "just some random social media opinion"...

Re: Britain outside the EU
Has he published it then, with facts and figures as proof, or just passing his opinion on social media?

No, not in the Torygraph. Yet.

Re: Britain outside the EU
It's a great pity that there is so much sourcing from the Daily Express.
They are pro-Brexit to an extent that embarrasses even me.

Re: Britain outside the EU
Not everything is doom and gloom. Teesside is getting a offshore windfarm plant that will create 3,000 new jobs.
https://www.gazettelive.co.uk/news/t...giant-20052856
There's also a major European manufacture moving to Teesside from the EU due to Brexit.
https://www.gazettelive.co.uk/news/t...sside-19984673
That is just me looking at my local area. This thread would make it seem like Brexit was the worst thing in the world, clearly not.

Whilst I'd like to add them to the Brexit benefits list, I think the factory making wind farms is unrelated to Brexit and may be the same company as the one identified in the second article. We'll see, but I'm very pleased for the area.

Slightly unfair to criticise the Loganair flight for being cancelled due to low passenger numbers whilst we're in a national lockdown....
There's been a lot of changes in Teesside in the fourteen years I've lived here, it's slowly improving in many ways. But, significantly more is needed. the freeport & wind turbine stuff is a great start.
The loss of the once hoped for snow centre (bridge to nowhere) is very unfortunate & I do wish they would stop with all the plans to build office blocks everywhere...
