Shellfish industry?

Industry bodies are reaching out to the government at the moment it looks like on that one.

I was at a conference 3 years ago when the total destruction of the North Wales mussels industry within 6 weeks of brexit was a 'known'. One of their biggest markets was French restaurants.

Of all the stupidity of Brexit the biggest oddity to me is how keen the government seems to be to immediately erect incredibly restrictive bureaucratic barriers and be utterly inflexible on them.

There will be a lot of barriers from the EU that we can't avoid, but half of these complexities are on our end and the only response seems to be "well you should have been more prepared for this deal that was signed 5 days before it came into effect. We produced several leaflets about it."

I thought we were meant to have a bonfire of the red tape.

The tories are a party consisting of the aristocracy and the very wealthy, legislating in the interests of the largest bourgeoisie and consistently put in power by the votes of petit bourgeois and nationalists. It's an incredibly good system for holding onto power but creates either utterly corrupt or insane governance because it can't really do anything except 'not be the left' without pissing off some major group within itself.

Bristol Momentum is the main campaigning body in the southwest. Without them, the council and metro mayor campaigns in the area will barely have any volunteers - and no, South West Regional hasn't had the foresight to replace volunteer labour with paid labour. It's why their phonebanking campaign has barely got off the ground, which is kind of a problem because it's where they're getting all their voter information and policy polling from.

All the bread-makers ITT, how do you have hot fresh bread sitting around and not go out in one big blowout binge of hot buttered (real butter) bread.
My dad used to bake bread and I swear we got through a loaf a day each. (Per person I mean).
I envy people who can control themselves in the face of nice food.

Not finishing a loaf the day you get it always feels like a waste of freshness. If someone didn't already come up with some sort of daily bread delivery subscription during lockdown they should.

It's generally fine if you put it in a sealed container the same day. Not the same as the crust goes chewy rather than crunchy but certainly not unpleasant.

the tories are correct in that you don’t want a wounded and angry industry post brexit , you want it completely destroyed so they can’t get back at you , and worst case scenario are bought up by big agriculture who put you on the board of directors

My unexpert impression (always ready to be corrected by those with the actual knowledge) is that the literal answer to your question is "Yes", since if all fishing in the hard-fished British waters stopped it would be much better for the environment

But

The fishers really being screwed by Brexit aren't the big corporate fleets with a dozen big 35-metre beam trawlers that are at sea 24/7. They can ice the catch onboard and/or steam to an EU port to unload, and they have the resources to get through a few months of teething troubles (if that's what it turned out to be).

The people really being hosed by the situation at the moment are the individual or family fishers who have one boat, maybe only 15m long at most and quite possibly smaller than that, with just one or two people on. Maybe even an 8m open boat with one guy on hauling pots or running a mackerel line by hand. They're based in some tidal fishing village like Padstow, Fowey or Looe and only fish for one tide (leave on the high tide, return on the next one) and can't fish every day of the week or even all the way round the year.

They don't have the clout to survive the problems that Brexit have thrown up (even if they did, by and large, vote for it) so they're the ones that are going to go to the wall. And the big trawler fleets will buy up their quota and add to their pool.

So the vaguely sustainable sort of fishing is being put through the ringer and the only sort that has a hope of surviving is the absolute worst.

During the war bakers were forbidden from selling fresh bread and had to keep it locked up for a day for exactly this reason.

Anyone able to take a stab (lol) as to when my partner will get her jab? She has rheumatoid arthritis and is on immunosuppressants, but she's only 32. We looking at April or May?

I have rear end-marr but I doubt they'll consider it 'serious' so I'm going to be waiting a looong time

Funny thing is even with the immunosuppressants her immune system is 10x what mine is, I've never met a bug that hasn't gone to town on me while she rarely gets sick and if so only extremely mildly
