This Australian trade deal shows how ‘Global Britain’ has already lost its way
Rafael Behr wrote:Just like the prime minister’s promises on Brexit, Boris Johnson’s pledges of support to UK farmers will ring hollow

You can tell that British farmers will be betrayed by Boris Johnson by the way he promises to look after them. The prime minister has pledged support equivalent to forfeited European subsidies. He says the sector will be safe from cut-price competition when new free trade deals are signed. He has told Minette Batters, president of the National Farmers’ Union, that he would “rather die” than hurt her members. Really? Death before cheap beef? Maybe Johnson can honour those pledges, but it would be out of character.

It would also defeat the purpose of Brexit for many Tory MPs. “Take back control” signalled many things to voters, but to Eurosceptic ideologues it meant liberation from the EU’s common external tariff. Having trade policy run from Brussels was proof of Britain’s colonisation by continental bureaucrats. Deals with non-Europeans are the prize for emancipation.

That is why Liz Truss, the trade secretary, is determined to secure a zero-tariff agreement with Australia in time for next month’s G7 summit in Cornwall. The economic benefits would be marginal – shifting the growth dial by 0.02% over 15 years. But as a trophy for the “Global Britain” chest it is priceless. Other ministers – Michael Gove at the cabinet office and the environment secretary, George Eustice – fret about the impact on domestic producers who cannot compete with Australian mega-farms. Welsh and Scottish rural communities are especially vulnerable. Ministers who worry about the future of the union fear a fresh pot of nationalist grievance brewing.
Interestingly the govt has also announced a scheme to pay farmers to retire - apparently in order to encourage them to 'hand on' their farms to the younger generation. Seems that the younger generation they're talking about though are hedge fund managers and other corporate Investors.

I understand many of you might accuse the 'Lotus Eaters' as being racist, but they raised an interesting point.

Are there any Brits who oppose islamization, in a way that is fair, free and normal?

Or is simply expressing opposition to islamization considered verboten in the British world now?

I rarely believe what you say.

It's pretty clear what you are unable to say though.

I guess you don't know what a loaded question is. Maybe you should look it up so you don't look so ignorant. :coffee:

I don't think enough of you. You don't write honestly. It's like you are playing a role as a Democrat NPC.

At least I'm not playing the role of someone who supports white-nationalists, alt-righters, the Kenosha murderer, laws that legalize vehicular manslaughter against black protesters, and who opposes civil rights movements and thinks black people should shut up and accept racism.

Lol you have quite an imagination.

You are everything you accuse others of being. It's known as the rubber/glue science.

Yeah, defend Tommy Robinson some more, fruitcake.

But before that, answer a couple questions, first:

Why are black people in the US poorer, policed more, and jailed more than white people? Is it due to systemic racism, or is it because black people are inclined to make more "shit choices" than white people?

Also, why was property damage that happened around the '60s civil rights protests acceptable if property damage that happens around BLM protests isn't?

I don't have to. The accusers have to. So far, they haven't used evidence though.

I haven't seen anything from him in a few years. If you want to bring something up, do go on.

As to your questions, I will continue to give them all the respect they deserve.

There is no way any answer could change your mind. You just listened to Trump contradicting you on your treasured lie, and simply pretended you know what he really meant.

I'm asking questions about what YOU think. What does whether or not my mind is changeable have to do with what you believe about racism in the US? (Hint: nothing.)

:funny: His stupid bullshit platitudes don't count for jack shit compared to what he actually did before and in office.


So once again:

Why are black people in the US poorer, policed more, and jailed more than white people? Is it due to systemic racism, or is it because black people are inclined to make more "shit choices" than white people?

Also, why was property damage that happened around the '60s civil rights protests acceptable if property damage that happens around BLM protests isn't?
