Detailed and authoritative post about one particular industry which has now been crippled by Brexit.

 This is a detailed and authoritative post about one particular industry (Music 🎹🎻🎵) which has now been crippled by Brexit.


The underlying reason is that our Government vandalised our trading arrangements without allowing proper time for
- consultation
- impact assessment
- clear guidance
- education
- preparation by businesses.
The music industry had 24-31 December for informed preparation when they should have had at least a year.
Over and above the fact of Brexit itself, the incompetent implementation has massively damaged the music industry (read the full post if you doubt this) and the same lack of consultation etc applies in every other industry sector.
If you wanted Brexit, presumably you didn’t want the Brexitshambles we now have? Did you?
If you didn’t want Brexit, I’m sure that you didn’t want the Brexitshambles we now have.
And the same combination of totally unfounded belief in their ability together with arrogantly defended incompetence is what has directly led to so many thousands of unnecessary deaths.
This Government must resign en masse and make way for an honest and competent replacement.

Johnson departure - why, when, how, who & what next ?

  JOHNSON DEPARTURE - why, when, how, who & what next? (1000 words) I have blogged bits of this in various places, so this blog post brings them together. WHY? Boris Johnson is arguably the worst leader we could have at this time. Thousands of people have died unnecessarily because of his mistakes; thousands more will die. We also cannot start to fix the Brexit blunders while the Blunderer-in-Chief is in charge. He persistently resists scrutiny and will learn nothing. #IDontBegPardon , we hear from him, which is why that's the title for our new book & CD. A change of Prime Minister, has the potential to save thousands of lives, and that on its own is a good reason to hope for this and to work towards it. We could get a new Prime Minister who is focused on the real job, not on enriching incompetent cronies in the way that the National Audit Office report shows that Johnson's Government has done. WHY WILL MPs SACK HIM? Most MPs want (1) to retain their seats - that's

Meaty First Caller - "Indian variant" B1617 - transcript of Mike Cashman on BBC Radio 4 Any Answers 15 May 2021

  Anita   Anand ( 00:00 ): Let’s start with the news of the Indian variant, the announcement that we've got to go carefully at five o'clock yesterday, Michael Cashman. You're our first caller on this. What did you make of it all? Mike Cashman   ( 00:11 ): Hallo there Anita, I wish that people who spoke about this on the radio understood the maths. We've had both the prime minister and Niall Ferguson saying it's relatively small numbers - and the Prime Minister actually saying, if we saw exponential growth, then we would have to do something about it. We are seeing exponential growth, now. It's tripling each week is what we've seen, Now the government is wrong to block surge vaccination in Blackburn, Bolton, and so on, because that could have a real impact. And you know, I've heard people say, “Oh well, but the vaccine takes three weeks to take effect”; Anita I'll give you a statistic. If it's tripling every week, then in five weeks, it mult

9 reasons why I as a Christian, am in favour of remaining in the EU, and opposing the current Brexit path

9 reasons why I as a Christian, am in favour of remaining in the EU, and opposing the current Brexit path (4000 words) INTRODUCTION There are a number of reasons why my Christian Faith leads me to support remaining in the European Union. Of course it’s right to respect that other Christians support Leave, and I have sought to understand their views. It’s reasonable to say that membership of the EU or not is a means to various ends, and people may disagree as to how remaining or leaving would fulfil those ends. This is a practical question; Leave or Remain is not an issue where one answer or the other is intrinsically moral or immoral. I have searched online and have not found much written that covers my nine main reasons, listed below – hence this article. I would be interested in responses, particularly from Christians who support Leave. This is a personal view. But it represents a strong conviction. I  am not denying that others may have different opinions, but I do have
