Boris Johnson's
Policies Are Wrecking Britain Confirming Previous
Site Claims
September 7. 2021
A tweet by journalist Paul Johnson
about Boris Johnson
By the
grace of God I've
made a number of predictions about Britain's Prime
Minister Boris Johnson and they've repeatedly proven
true, as confirmed by subsequent world events and
government developments:
I made these warnings
out of genuine concern for Britain. I don't want
Britain to suffer. I want them to do well, but
Johnson is bringing suffering on them with his
disastrous policies. I wish I could say there was
some "method in the madness" regarding Johnson, but
there is not, it's just failure all around and
that's very dangerous for Britain.
Newly published
reports indicate Britain has been hitting new
financial lows due to Brexit and the coronavirus
pandemic. Considering Prime Minister, Boris Johnson,
was the main proponent of Brexit, and once he was in
office recklessly encouraged people to go out and
catch coronavirus, wrongly believing it would
produce herd immunity, he is squarely to blame for
this regrettable mess (Mainstream Scientists Debunk
Coronavirus 'Herd Immunity' Claim Popularized By Politicians Such As
Boris Johnson Confirming Previous Site Claims).
Parliament is going
to have to do its best, in a unified effort to save
the City, which is the business district in London.
A strong business committee is needed of your finest
minds, to come up with a dedicated plan to save the
British economy, because Johnson is not going to do
that. He brought much of this mess on you.
The British economy
did not have to take the financial battering it has,
with a record number of store closures. It's time to
"wake up and smell the coffee." Johnson doesn't know
what he is doing and it is going to bring widespread
poverty on Britain if this decline is not halted and
corrected.
Your children and
their descendants' futures are depending on it. Make
a strong, business based intervention to save your
economy. Rally your brightest minds in Britain and
ex-pats abroad to help with the effort.

Post-Brexit UK Food Industry Is £2bn Worse Off
After "Disastrous" Fall In EU Sales
4 min read02 September - Exclusive:
New figures show a sharp fall in food and drink
sales to the European Union in the first half of
this year has led to the industry being £2bn down on
pre-pandemic levels, with post-Brexit trade barriers
believed to be the principal cause.
According to a comprehensive
analysis of trade during the first six months of
2021 by the Food & Drink Federation (FDF), shared
exclusively with PoliticsHome, food and drink
exports to the EU were 15.9% down on the same period
last year, and down by over a quarter — 27.4% —
compared to the first half of 2019.
Labour has said the figures "blow
apart" the government's "myth" that trade disruption
is a temporary issues as the UK and EU adjust to the
new rules. The UK formally left the EU on 31 January
2020, with most changes to trade arrangements coming
into effect on 1 January 2021 following a transition
period.
Meat and dairy products have been
the worst hit, the FDF analysis found, due largely
to stringent post-Brexit rules for British
businesses selling goods of animal origin to
customers in the bloc.
Exports of beef to the continent
were 24.1% down in the first half of 2021 compared
with the same period last year, and down by 37.1% on
the first six months of 2019. Cheese exports were
26.1% down on the same period last year, and over a
third – 34.2% – down on the first half of 2019.
The FDF said the loss in sales was
mostly affecting smaller businesses, often run by
families, who are finding it more difficult than big
companies to deal with post-Brexit paperwork. The
pandemic is also believed to have had some impact on
UK exports, as the locking down of hospitality
businesses across Europe has also reduced demand for
British products.
Sales of milk, cream, and chocolate
to the EU are also significantly down since pre-Covid.
Food and drink exports to nearly all EU countries
fell significantly, with those to Germany, Spain,
and Italy down around 50% on the first six months of
2019. Sales to Ireland, the UK industry's largest
export market, were £0.5bn down on pre-pandemic
levels, the analysis found.
The trade body's analysis showed
that British food and drink exports to non-EU
countries like China, Japan, and Australia had grown
to make up some ground lost during the pandemic.
But the industry does not believe
that the pandemic alone can account for the
significant shortfalls. Covid "doesn’t make up for
the disastrous loss of £2bn in sales to the EU,"
warned the FDF's Head of International Trade,
Dominic Goudie. "It clearly demonstrates the serious
difficulties manufacturers in our industry continue
to face and the urgent need for additional
specialist support," he said.
John Whitehead of the Food & Drink
Exporters Association said there was "growing
evidence" that the red tape which now faces
exporters to the EU has led some businesses to move
operations to the continent and forced European
customers to look elsewhere for products.
The figures "blow apart the two
myths ministers have been spinning for months,"
Labour's Shadow Trade Secretary Emily Thornberry
