That'd be analogous to kicking shit out of suicide victim.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Like the Russians in 1945?
Liz Truss has now overruled the Trade Remedies Authority to keep the steel tariffs in place.

Bloomberg: Sunak Tells EU He’ll Set City’s Rules as Equivalence Stalls
Looks like the UK drawing a line under the financial services talks with the EU, and now prepared to diverge significantly.

For an extra year? If they ever allow it in, it's over for steel.
Yeah, I don’t see much future for UK steel manufacturing. Especially if the UK is serious about hitting its climate targets. The Cumbria coal mine - intended for the steel industry - was a complete debacle.
Any Brexit voters on here that have since changed their minds?
Then they took our Haribo...

But you said nothing cause you're not a Haribo?
Haribo are shit.
Willing to take any flak for my opinion.

Good. You should be encouraging your children to have a good old fashioned British fry instead. Down with sugar and up with cholesterol
After coming off booze I had a horrific Haribo habit for a few weeks, trying to replace the sugar from umpteen pints. I was at least 40% Haribo then.
I didn't realise Werther's is German. Thought that was a quintessentially (creepy) English brand.
That sounds like these bios of North American people. "Through his mother's ancestry, Jippy is 40% Haribo, but he also has Scottish, Kazach, Italian, and pretzel origins."
Would be far more interesting than my actual lineage.Tweet

Their own fault for growing vegetables instead of British beef. Yeah
Dude supports Liverpool
Courgettes are horrible middle class vegetables anyway.
Fried courgettes are lovely
Well I like them. And so easy to grow.
They can keep them.
They can go from from tasty al dente veg to slimy disgusting torture very easily.
Something weird is going on with the UK/EU trade balance at the moment. UK exports to the EU have basically recovered from the big drop after the Brexit deal earlier this year (and are in-line with non-EU exports). But UK imports from the EU are still way down on pre-Brexit.
As far as I can tell, no one really knows why this is happening yet.

Can confirm. They're doing great in my backyard and don't seem to care at all about Brexit. My carrots on the other hand... (sigh)

To end March, according to these figures exports to the UK are down 14.3% and Imports from the UK down 35.4% year on year
The ONS posted an interesting piece here about the discrepancies: https://blog.ons.gov.uk/2021/07/08/...-differences-between-uk-and-eu-trade-figures/
Hmm, not sure with their explanation.
Here is April for the EU
https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/docum...P-FR.pdf/ac857a2b-88f4-0b78-0f11-1c7bfe675f60
Year on year exports to the UK are down 3.3% and Imports from the UK down 27.1%
Assuming ONS get their data from HMRC, no confidence in HMRC at all.
The EU seems to agree with the ONS explanation if you read the Methodology section in the document you posted. A google translate:
There's not much point looking at the EU data on EU-UK trade at the moment as it's comparing apples with oranges. Not that the intra-EU trade figures were ever reliable, as per the first paragraph.
Yes plus the NI/Ire situation but declarations should always be based on FOB and if the comparisons are like for like then they should be comparable .
PS Thinking about it further, has this guy from ONS misunderstood the 'Rotterdam Effect' and it's unclear from his example whether the goods from China were imported into the UK , duties and freight paid etc or did it go direct to NL and the UK company just add £100 profit on the goods and invoiced it to an NL company.
Also when he's talking about cars - if the UK company is only finishing it off, as it were, it depends where the bulk of the car was made and if the UK part doesn't meet the minimum %age for Rules of Origin for duties purposes etc.

The same people encouraging booing the players now jumping on the bandwagon. I hate these peoole with a passion.
Amen
If I remember correctly from the allotment, carrots are very fussy about the soil. Get yourself a PH kit. You may end up applying a little line to your soil.
Another thing is you could try growing the carrots to baby carrot inside a poly tunnel then transplant them to the final growing ground
Well, at least I'm getting this out of Brexit: good gardening tips!
Yeah, the pH is probably not ideal there's as it's next to a cedar and there needles everywhere. But I think I'll just grow two rows of courgettes next year. That sounds like a lot less trouble and also looks prettier (with the big leaves, and also the huge flowers). Plus we eat a lot of courgettes anyway in summer on the barbecue. (Cut small, mixed with mushrooms and/or paprika, with some pepper, salt, and balsamic vinegar.
)Lime not line. Bloody autocorrect
Yeah I figured!

I can't even read the full article but still made me chuckle.

The BBC hasn't updated it's Brexit news page since the 9th July, so I assume everything's going really well.
Perhaps they're fed up printing lies.
Here's some more lies to keep you going

Italy, Belgium, Poland, Spain, France, NL amongst others export apples to India.
UK imported $484m of Apples and Pears in 2019 (including $48m from NZ!) and exported a grand total of $18m to the whole world (while they still had fruit pickers)
Waiting for the news that Liz Truss has been locked away in a cupboard - the UK would be safer.
