David Davis' weird good Tory thing is that he used to be a cop and actually rails against police excess. I remember he was brought on to Radio 2 to defend the police's right to blast everywhere at 100mph and he was like "actually, the first rule of emergency services driving is that you shouldn't kill people, so yes police officers who run people over should get prosecuted"

problem: there's lots of pesky rules about when we can actually send D-notices solution: what if we, the issuer of D-notices, just cordially emailed people in a friendly manner offering friendly take-down advice, with no implications whatsoever

Jose posted:Lmao I'd like to explain how incredibly dumb this is but it would be a very long post. Suffice it to say that the US is really good about making state-level export agreements but state-level import agreements aren't any easier than making a deal with the federal goverment. So all youse want to buy some soybeans, grain, and liquified natural gas? No problem. You want to sell whatever it is you export? You're jumping through the same hoops you were before.

It's almost as if the minister in charge of making agreements with foreign countries is completely clueless. I imagine civil servants in the relevant departments would know but without a doubt they will have been expunged or are being completely ignored because 'we're fed up of experts'.

Basically none of this is new either lol. There was another article around the same time at this one about pelosi and her staffs annoyance that British government people just seemed to refuse to accept the possibity a trade deal wasn't feasible as it requires passing through Congress and nothing they were saying was getting through https://twitter.com/bohola4/status/1494459280090619906?t=kYCO3uWUv7-tkzGj3MyeSw&s=19

gonadic io posted:good news about europe's other source of LNG We built huge LNG export facilities so we could rip you off if Russia gets weird. The other thing that the UK has always underestimated is the level of sympathy in Congress for Ireland. If a trade deal doesn't make some specific carve-outs to conform to the Good Friday Accords, it's not passing Congress. Zeroisanumber has issued a correction as of 04:23 on Feb 18, 2022 |

as always, the Democrats are the most useless conservatives you could imagine and they will be absolutely creamed in November of course, this means we're going to have to wait until next year at the earliest for a US-UK trade deal, which I say in the full knowledge that Biden will drag it out for as long as he can because Joe Biden? he's in the ra.
