    MPs aren't allowed to call other members 'liars' as it is considered unparliamentary, but lying to Parliament is a criminal offence under the Powers, Privileges and Immunities of Parliaments and Provincial Legislatures Act, 2004. That said, it doesn't seem to be enforced with any great regularity.

    It is enforced regularly George. I can’t give you an example or name names or even allude to a past example, but it is enforced almost daily. It’s a bit like the benefits of brexit, there’s just so many, it’s impossible to list them.

    Actually that's not all the story....Belgium and France only banned it within their 12 mile limit, UK banned it in the whole of its territorial waters.
    Apparently the "British" boats were largely funded and equipped by the Dutch, the leading expononents of pulse trawling.
    A Guardian article from 2015 sheds some light on it.

    In their supreme wisdom it seems the Tories, rather then handing out £30 vouchers for free school meals, in some areas they have enlisted a company to send food instead (obviously because all parents will spend it on drugs, cigs and ale).

    This is the result....

    Add another lie to the thread. Bees should be protected for all the good they do. A Syrian refugee that I know personally was on Countryfile a few years back talking about his own collection (BBC made him wear protective gear that he doesn't always wear around his bees) and got really educated about them.

    Chartwells are the company involved.....who in turn are owned by Compass.

    A little snippet of info lifted from a list of (surprise,surprise) Tory donors :rolleyes:



    Paul Walsh
    "Chairman of Compass Group, formerly CEO of Diageo Former member of David Cameron's business advisory group. While Walsh headed up Diageo, despite average annual profits of almost £2bn, its accounts disclosed £43m a year (little more than 2% of its profits) in average UK corporation tax charges. Diageo has said that it moved a number of its brands to the Netherlands in 1998 and its operations have been “thoroughly reviewed” by Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs (HMRC). Walsh has criticised tax laws that he says allows others not to pay their fair share"

    That's really grinded my gears. It makes no sense whatsoever. Nobody wins, great. Just means if we ever get to see live bands again and have non-distancing gigs (which are ridiculous) then British bands are far less likely to do European tours, and we will miss out on bands coming here. Great! Viva Bregshit

    Its basically wanton vandalism - absolutely nothing to do with Brexit just vindictive and petty as I guess a majority of performers tend not to be raving fascists

    You can just imagine the negotiation:
    Tories: 'well we're not completely happy with everything on the table here'
    EU: 'tell you what, we'll throw in Visa-free touring for musicians'
    Tories: 'forget it, we've already asked them to retrain in other professions. We dont really care about up-and-coming artists in this country any more'

    Sounds like they are now covering Johnsons tracks after he was seen cycling 7 miles from downing Street.
    Another Cummings me thinks...

    Those wicked Dutchmen, making us pay big time now....

    A Dutch TV network has filmed border officials confiscating ham sandwiches and other foods from drivers arriving in the Netherlands from the UK, under post-Brexit rules.

    The officials were shown explaining import regulations imposed since the UK formalised its separation from the EU.

    Under EU rules, travellers from outside the bloc are banned from bringing in meat and dairy products.

    The rules appeared to bemuse one driver.

    "Since Brexit, you are no longer allowed to bring certain foods to Europe, like meat, fruit, vegetables, fish, that kind of stuff," a Dutch border official told the driver in footage broadcast by TV network NPO 1.

    In one scene, a border official asked the driver whether several of his tin-foil wrapped sandwiches had meat in them.

    When the driver said they did, the border official said: "Okay, so we take them all."

    Surprised, the driver then asked the officials if he could keep the bread, to which one replied: "No, everything will be confiscated - welcome to the Brexit, sir. I'm sorry."

    Theres no wonder so many aren't complying. The volume of people about is way more than the first lockdown and on my infrequent evening walks, its ridiculous how many people seem to aim right for you or just don't move to assist keeping a distance.

    Johnsons 7 mile "local" exercise is just another example. Just like his 120 mile trip to Bristol for a photo op with his entourage.

    Kit Malthouse (policing minister) made a telling but slightly inaccurate remark on his media rounds today. Asked whether 7 miles could be considered local, he replied "It depends where you are." Obviously, the accurate answer was who, not where.
