The media are too busy demoning cyclists and near anything that helps the planet.
Brexit is going wonderfully as shown by these examples

'Between 2021 and 2023, the study calculated that UK goods exports to the EU were down 27% and imported goods were 32% lower than where they would have been had Brexit not happened.'
Just as well we held all the cards and that they needed us more than we needed them otherwise we'd really be in the shitter!

Just playing Devils advocaat; could one not assume that 32% lower amount of imports was a good thing? Is there any breakdown of what this is i.e. are we producing more in-house so we don't have to import so much?

I just need to get my egg-noggin around that one... it's a fair point but that doesn't mean that we're making more stuff here for domestic consumption (though be good if we are), it could simply be that we are importing the same amount of stuff but from outside of the EU and most likely incorporating greater shipping distances too. Not an improved situation either for the UK, for Europe or the environment....

According to the reports I read, that is exactly the situation.

By the way...the article features Mary Quicke... I wholeheartedly recommend you support British business by purchasing her finest Award winning Cheddars washed-down with award winning local Cider....
https://www.quickes.co.uk/ Their Mature Cheddar and Lady Prue are exceptional.

Disclaimer: I am completely biased as both are within walking distance and I went to school with the Quickes....

The bees are doing fine but for humans it is going killingiy well.
I imagine we also now get to eat consignments refused entry to the EU.

If the world stopped making cheese tomorrow I would be fine with that.

I'm not a fan of Cheddar, but I could live on Wensleydale and sourdough alone.

Actually, cheesecake production would be encouraged to continue but the rest of it, nah. It can all go.

No vision to add. Just him at the centre of the universe. Cue more fireworks and some balloons. Just to remind people they had been in the presence of greatness.'

I’ve always said this site could work fine without mods, but you’re making me reconsider with this offensive savagery.

I don't think the words Cheddar, Brie, or Edam should get through the swear filter frankly.
