He won because the Election was Rigged. NO VOTE WATCHERS OR OBSERVERS allowed, vote tabulated by a Radical Left privately owned company, Dominion, with a bad reputation & bum equipment that couldn’t even qualify for Texas (which I won by a lot!), the Fake & Silent Media, & more! https://t.co/Exb3C1mAPg

Again, this was from the conference Philip wasn't at so he'll be along in a minute to say none of this was said:
Meat: +6% deal / +31% no deal
Fish, Fruit, Veg: +7% deal / +20% no deal
Oil & Fats: +23% deal / +32% no deal
Dairy: +7% deal / +55% no deal
Grain products: +104% deal / +119% no deal
Bakery: +7% deal / +29% no deal
Other foodstuffs: +7% deal / +16% no deal
All of those values are post any initial disruption caused by not having a working customs system to process imports on 1st January.
What we do once we step outside is less important than the fact that the door is unlocked.
The door would only be locked if we couldn't diverge or couldn't leave in either scenario. That would then be a prison.
Trump is
"NOT EVEN WRONG".
Or were you lying?

Go cite a single reputable source quoting him saying there would be no products on the shelves. Or admit you are making shit up please.
After. Meaning not during. Come on Philip you're embarrassing yourself now.
Disruption does not mean no products in the shelves. So go on, a link please? Because I'm calling you out as making it up. If what you're claiming was said it would have gone viral in seconds, Scott would have posted 17 Tweets about it in five minutes and it would have been and been quoted here incessantly. And yet ... Silence. Mystical, complete and utter silence.
Occam's razor is you are making it up or misunderstanding the situation.
No food on shelves is bigger news than food becomes more expensive though, but yes you're right he has probably misunderstanding and misquoting those numbers too.
It's always been my view there is no sovereign issue with pooling sovereignty voluntarily in the EU.
Obviously it depends what goes in your shopping basket.
In May, the UK published its new tariff schedule, which will be implemented by January 1 next year if a deal is not agreed.
Under the schedule, 85 per cent of foods imported from the EU will face tariffs of more than five per cent, while the average tariff on food imported from the EU would be over 20 per cent.
The figures revealed that we are likely to see a 48 per cent tariff on beef mince, 16 per cent on cucumbers and 10 per cent on lettuce.
The latest monthly retail price index for August revealed fresh food prices increased by 0.2 per cent, while inflation for ambient food accelerated to 2.8 per cent for the month.
Earlier this month, Morrisons chief executive David Potts said grocery prices would increase in a no-deal Brexit scenario.
Opie said: “UK consumers have benefited from great value, quality, and choice of food thanks to our ability to trade tariff-free with the EU.
“There is no time to waste, the UK and EU must hammer out a final arrangement as soon as possible.

I can post further links if you'd like.
But then one's got to survive with what you can at the moment.
The BBC have covered it. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-54840257. It quotes Sainsbury's CEO saying exactly what I said.
"Mr Roberts told The Guardian: '"If we don't get greater clarity on the Northern Irish situation then we will see a restriction on the ranges of products we can sell.
'This is not one or two products in stores I am talking about, it is a substantial number of products and quite key, everyday products too.
'Customers expect to have access to a full range but [it] won't be possible to make that available unless something changes.'"
Or perhaps he didn't say that. Because its all a lie.

Shite at multitaksing today.
(ii) Membership of the EU does not compromise our sovereignty.
Can these 2 views be reconciled without one's pants falling down?
But would he have to rely on Labour to get it through the Commons?
Which he might well be but at this point I only really care about the F1 stuff, which he's plenty great enough at on its own.
There has always been a genuine fear that further integration intends that we would end up step by step as once independent Scotland now is where it has no right of independent exercise of sovereignty. That's fine if you want it, but not if you don't.
Indeed membership of the Euro may well de facto be that point.
You can pool your sovereignty (ii) but if you wish to unilaterally exercise it you must first unpool it (i).
Entirely consistent. I could set up a joint bank account with you for us to wager bets together but if I wanted to unilaterally control my own income I would need my income to go into a personal not joint account.

There will be fresh food on the shelves. Your hyperbole is unsubstantiated fearmongering bullshit.
He is truly the best racing driver ever. He's got the racing instincts of Senna, the strategic outlook of Schumacher and ruthlessness of Prost. We're very lucky to have seen him race, it's just a shame that Ferrari have dropped the ball so badly in the hybrid era so the only real competition has come from the other garage in the Mercedes team.
Hopefully Ferrari, McLaren and RBR are competitive next season and we can get some real racing up front, Bottas is a bit rubbish.
Simple question
With Customs not working, where do tomatoes come from on Jan 1? Or peppers?
Remember: HMRC tell us there's no capacity to process arriving lorries, and HMG STILL haven't issued the basic guide to truckers -even in English - for how to get through in six weeks' time (but 80% of trucks arriving from the EU are driven by non-Brits).
You can't divert to other ports (Felixstowe's chocker already with imports from outside the EU) And whatever lunatic decided to start this insane experiment with bureaucratising goods we rely on Europe for on Jan 1 obviously forgot that the world's closed for the previous ten days.
The is-he-isn't-he, will-he-won't-he, maybe-aye-maybe-no approach is no way to govern. Instead of a PM we have a gnomic wanderer; instead of making decisions, he dreamily plucks petals from daisies.
If need be we will just waive the trucks through. Whatever needs to be done will be done.
EU membership did NOT compromise our sovereignty. It entailed voluntarily pooling our sovereignty not compromising it.
The right to leave was more important than actually leaving but that right was never in dispute. The only question was whether we should.
Ergo and exactly the same the right to diverge is more important than how we diverge.
We don't have to materially diverge, if we vote not to. But it will be our choice.
So you're making a fatal flaw in your first assumption and that undermines and reversed everything that follows.
With those two principles everything makes sense.
The smell of fear in Downing street is pretty obvious I think, but it still seems Boris the Unready is more likely to let this drift rather than bite the bullet of delay.
So money on January crisis I would guess.
Who cares about aiding international organised crime, about those who exploit the suffering of others for their own gain, even about compromising our ability to control what comes into the country at all, as long as we can get our tomatoes on our supermarket shelves?
The pandering to the absurd Donald Trump goes on.
Crime happens. Smuggling happens. Prohibition has never worked.
Having food on our shelves is more important than embracing security theater to pretend that prohibition works.
Once we have security of our supplies we can do other stuff too, but they are lesser priorities.
Should he even be invited to the inauguration unless he makes a genuine concession? Or would that just reinforce his conspiracy theories?
I really just want someone to stick a sock in his mouth or remove the caps button from his phone. He is seriously undermining the democratic process which always relies on shared trust in the mechanics.
Also there is no political crisis from Boris extending transition for more talks, because of Covid, you can’t deliver even an oven ready deal with Covid going on, everyone will forgive the extension.
Force choice which would be more important to you: ensuring continuity of food supply, or attempting to prevent some smuggling?
Forced choice though would you pay that price or not?
If it comes to it then food security is more important than security theatre.
I expect a few weeks of disruption. If the consequences are smuggling for a few weeks as people adapt or lack of food for a few weeks then that's an easy choice for me. Food is more important to secure than preventing a bit of smuggling for a few weeks.
It was not compromised but we have reclaimed it from being pooled. No contradiction there.
If you have money in a Betfair account you haven't compromised that money, it's still yours but if you want to spend it in the shops you will need to reclaim it and withdraw it first.
Understand that yet or do we need pictures to explain it to you?
What is the debate in Northern Ireland at the moment?
