This just popped up from the Independent, answers my question from yesterday about time to sign off the deal:quote:Struggling Brexit trade negotiations between the EU and UK will not continue past Wednesday, Michel Barnier has said.

I can see why that person is angry, but that sort of clause wouldn't be much different to the one doctors who are opposed to abortion have - where they are allowed to refuse to refer a patient on (although I think most just ask the patient to see one of their colleagues who isn't opposed). As long as there's another registrar who can carry out the marriage in the same sort of time-frame - and the Of course, if the plan is to go back and remove those sort of 'conscientious objector' clauses, then that's also fair enough. Albeit that's when the Freeze Peach lawyers start limbering up.

It's your job to carry out that function on behalf of, in the case of registrars, literally the organization that has a monopoly on that function. And in the case of doctors, functionally an organization that has the same monopoly. If you don't want to do your job you can gently caress off, IMO.

As with abortions, it's a stepping stone to building little fiefdoms where the objectionable action is not legally prohibited, but is functionally impossible.

Aren't we literally running low on the water treatment chemicals we rely on for the mains supply? Which wouldn't mean all tap water turning to bog mulch overnight, but could definitely result in water restrictions for a time. Although in that case I'd probably replace my drinking water with whiskey and just try to forget everything forever. Doctor_Fruitbat fucked around with this message at 14:50 on Dec 7, 2020 |

Doctor_Fruitbat posted:Aren't we literally running low on the water treatment chemicals we rely on for the mains supply? Which wouldn't mean all tap water turning to bog mulch overnight, but could definitely result in water restrictions for a time. Nah, that was a bit of a scare story about Brexit. There's currently no UK source for several chemicals used in water treatment, and disruption of those supplies would have caused problems. In particular one chemical (sodium hypochlorite - the active ingredient in household bleach) isn't amenable to stockpiling because it degrades quickly and has specialist storage requirements, and it was theorised that the tankers getting caught at customs could disrupt fresh water supply. However chlorination of tap water is only used in certain conditions - ordinary filtration normally gets rid of most of the bad poo poo, and the consumables for that are all available in-country. The very worst-case scenario would have been boil-before-use orders in areas where certain bacteria get into the supply and the chlorination wasn't available, and even that was extremely unlikely because it doesn't come in just in the back of a lorry, it comes in through a specialist port, so delays were never particularly likely.
