Good old public subsidies eh, if only we could get back into the EU with the “mutha” of all public subsidies………..the common agricultural policy (CAP). The largest component in the EU budget of billions and a process where EU consumers pay tax to landowners. You say no problem with that position, just the “lies”? so, how the environmental damage caused by the CAP.Yes, good news for Somerset. I read about this some time ago.
As regards the site coming to the UK. it is being set up with hundreds of millions of pounds of government subsidies. That's been known for some time.
Read deeper into things. The government is now borrowing money to prove it's all a success.
It's not a BREXIT success, it's a public money success.
I don't have a problem with taxpayer subsidies (although the people championing this usually do....) I do have a problem with lies.

Fraud, corruption, and misuse of EU agricultural funds a major problem in CEE, say MEPs
The EU needs to introduce tougher controls on the distribution of agricultural funds to stamp out corruption and ensure that CEE's small farmers get their fair share.emerging-europe.com
what about the deserving recipients……in the U.K. just before Brexit the biggest recipients were the Saudis as a consequence of the amount of land they used for horse racing and breeding.

Yep, public subsidies and its lies……..what a racket to be part of.

So protecting your markets, your industries, your jobs and wealth is a racket? So basically every country in the world has its own 'racket' because it imposes import duties to protect its own industries? Yeah down with that idea. But there is a difference in this example because your money is being spent to subsidise companies where before it didnt have to, it was the benefit of membershipGood old public subsidies eh, if only we could get back into the EU with the “mutha” of all public subsidies………..the common agricultural policy (CAP).

I knew that the Irish border issue (with the Irelands wanting an open border between one another, and the EU (and indeed the UK) requiring a hard border between it and non-EU, quite separate, nations) was unresolvable. The Irish border issue is unresolvable. The hard border has to be between Ulster and Eire, or between Ulster and mainland Britain. Or we have to make a special arrangement of the sort that is anathema to hard brexiteers. Unresolvable, than. But...And those benefits keep rolling in because it's too late to turn away from the current idiocy to join the world's largest Customs Union which is on our doorstep, isn't it
All models are wrong (except the Office for Budget Responsibility's Brexit forecasts)
"All models," the British statistician George Box observed, "are wrong, but some are useful." To which we now turn to the Office for Budget Responsibility, whose Brexit forecasts seem to be holding up remarkably well.
Hidden within its 168-page report following the Budget, the fiscal watchdog noted that its long-term assumptions about the negative impact of Brexit on the UK economy appear to be "broadly on track". That is, a 15 per cent drop in trade intensity and a 4 per cent decline in potential productivity compared to if Britain had remained in the European Union.

Brexit: no British beef exported to Australia under UK’s first post-EU trade deal due to red tape
No British beef has been exported to Australia under the UK’s first post-Brexit free-trade agreement (FTA) as there is too much red tape, NationalWorld can reveal. Earlier this month, an exporter of beef jerky had its shipment blocked by Australian border controls as the UK government had not requested access. It is thought this is the first time a British business had tried to export beef to Australia under the FTA, which came into effect in May last year.
The trade deal, which was signed in December 2021, was the first FTA agreed by the government after Brexit, and was heralded by Boris Johnson and Liz Truss. At the time, British farmers expressed concerns that they would be undercut by lower quality imported meat. Since then, Australian farmers have exported 1,700 tonnes of beef to the UK, according to the Department of Business and Trade.

Still, onwards and downwards, it's not as if the British economy needs a boost
If we run into problems dumping waste there's always the SEZ's, there you can dump anything you likeAnd today's update on Britain's self induced death by a thousand cuts.
These benefits are rolling in daily, as Britain becomes a toxic dumping ground and the British people pay more for their wines in the latest addition to the run away cost of living (somewhat appropriately as those who voted for it have now all run away)
Britain is becoming a toxic chemical dumping ground – yet another benefit of Brexit
It’s a benefit of Brexit – but only if you’re a manufacturer or distributor of toxic chemicals.
The government insisted on a separate regulatory system for chemicals. At first sight, it’s senseless: chemical regulation is extremely complicated and expensive. Why replicate an EU system that costs many millions of euros and employs a small army of scientists and administrators? Well, now we know. A separate system allows the UK to become a dumping ground for the chemicals that Europe rules unsafe.

‘Complex' post-Brexit tax rules means price rises for UK wine drinkers
Wine Society describes planned alcohol duty changes as ‘ludicrous, expensive and probably unworkable’
British consumers have been told that the price of some of their favourite red wines could increase by more than 40p next year after the government ignored pleas from the wine industry to abandon complex post-Brexit tax changes. The chief executive of Majestic Wine, John Colley, said the new alcohol duty system, which comes into effect in February 2025, would increase the number of tax bands for wine from one to 30, and cost businesses huge sums of money to administer.

Ask KierWe have now spent nearly 8 years constantly destroying investment, our economy, our infrastructure, British businesses, the NHS, the Care Industry, Hospitality etc, widening the gap between rich and poor, and making it even more of a struggle for the poorest in society with body blow after body blow. And it's only going to get worse as we eventually implement the border controls (JRM's 'act of financial self harm') and other aspects that we have delayed and kicked into the long grass, adding still more to the cost of living as businesses continue to go to the wall.
And all as a result of a few racists, even fewer disaster capitalists and other financially well backed chancers and huge numbers of naive people being taken in by Johnson, Farage and co and told to do something stupid
How many more years and we going to continue to punch ourselves in the face on a daily basis, destroying the fabric and infrastructure of our once great country before someone says 'enough'
