Irish trucking firms are taking the pricier route around the UK to avoid Brexit red tape
As the EU adjusts to its new relationship with the U.K. after Brexit, fewer freight trucks are making the trek across the Irish Sea. For decades, the route through the U.K. (called a land bridge that takes approximately 15 hours) has been a vital and reliable artery for getting goods from Ireland to mainland Europe.
In the first week of January, operators like Stena Line, Brittany Ferries and Irish Ferries have added extra routes from Ireland to French ports like Dunkirk, Cherbourg and Saint-Malo as well as Bilbao in Spain. Three months into Brexit, port authorities, haulers and ferry operators are coming to grips with this new normal in Irish-European trade.
Glenn Carr, the general manager of Rosslare Europort, told CNBC that demand at the port has surged, but U.K. freight traffic is down about 43%. “It’s still very concerning, that level of drop on the U.K. But overall freight through Rosslare Europort, combined U.K. and Europe, is up 51% for the first two months of the year. That type of growth has never been seen in Rosslare,” Carr said.

Yet another set of British Industries and jobs sacrificed on the alter of Brexit, but we knew what we were voting for, didn't we

Only a matter of time before NI starts realising its a lot easier to trade with ROI than the UK.
The Irish are incurring more costs trading with the largest trading block in the world but they have certainty, they've been forced to take back control as we've lost the plot

Why would I need to do that? I said rules applying equally to all, there are specific Rules covering this sub forum ...
Last night you were active on this thread when Watford zero posted about the multi-account fibs continuing off-topic personal battles yet again after being warned by you and one other moderator previously. I even gave you a subtle hint in case you miraculously missed it ...
I also missed the bit on the sticky where it says the moderating team haven't really had enough after all and will only moderate threads if you report a specific post and develop an Arsene Wenger like ability to miss blatant fouls if committed by your team/mate ...

So that's a no.
There's a report button for a reason. Being "active on a thread" means absolutely nothing. For example, I'm replying now because you quoted me. Yesterday I was in my London office for work for a day, which was nice, and didn't look at NSC after my morning train ride. If you think I'm going to read all the drivel that's been posted on here and the rest of the pit between then and now, as a side activity to replying to yet more of your tantrums, you're very much mistaken.
Furthermore it goes to ALL mods who can all read and judge it if you report it, seeing as you seem to think there is bias. However, I would caution you on two things. Firstly, over reporting can also lead to action as two posters (not involved here) have found in the past. Secondly, I would expect posts to be reported and dealt with by people who are being ganged up on and called a c u next Tuesday (even in slang, even in a sly and snide manner rather than directly to them).
As I've said before, if you don't like it, please feel free to leave. No one will miss you.

Brexit to hit supplies of cancer, epilepsy and diabetes medicines to Northern Ireland, government warned
Brexit will prevent vital medicines to treat cancer, epilepsy and diabetes from reaching Northern Ireland, drug experts are warning. Firms making non-branded drugs are already starting to withdraw them because of costly new red tape, ministers are being told – threatening to cut the treatments available. The British Generic Manufacturers Association said planned new products being pulled before the rule changes come in next January included “treatments for epilepsy diabetes, and cancer”.
“We need an urgent solution today,” said Mark Samuels, the trade body’s chief executive, adding: “If we don’t have a solution immediately, they will feel it in January.” The threat has blown up because, at the end of a 12-month ‘grace period’, medicines made in Great Britain will require separate licences for use in Northern Ireland, as well as different safety inspections and other checks.

I saw this. It's funny isn't it that if someone had anticipated this and posted it any time up until this year, there would have been howls of abuse about 'project fear'. Now it's a fact, it seems that there's just a reflexive shrug of the shoulders and an acceptance that 'well, that's Brexit'.
