Thanks to #brexshit and the #brexshitters who managed to convince a gullible majority of the benefits of #takingbackcontrol , the queue at #ukborderforce in Coquelles Eurotunnel took more than an hour to clear this afternoon, with the UK side only having 2 booths open, whereas the French exit border police had 6 booths open. As explained to me by a #Eurotunnel agent, if someone hasn't actually filled out the newly required ETA correctly to enter the UK for non-UK passport holders, #ukborderforce shut the queue in question with everyone else in it and accompany said person to a building located away from the booths to do the necessary. In the meantime, everything backs up.

“The new legislation, expected later this year, would give ministers a fast-track route for introducing draft laws to align with future European standards designed to ensure a single market in the trade of goods and services.

The new powers would apply to agreements they are planning with the EU on food standards, carbon pricing for industry and electricity trading.

New rules would be introduced as "secondary" legislation, which receives less scrutiny and gives MPs a more limited role in approving it.

This echoes the process that was followed before Brexit - when the government adopted hundreds of such laws each year to fulfil EU legal obligations.

But it is likely to prove more controversial this time, ***because the UK no longer has voting rights at the EU to shape European legislation in the first place.***”

If it speaks English and it moves, there’s a high chance it will shoot itself in the foot.

What are Nigel Farage and Reform really up to?

Exposing Farage and the far-right political party he leads

Nigel Farage claims he wants to take back control for working people. But Reform UK is a far-right political party run by City traders and fuelled by millionaires. We’re shining a light on their shadowy practices.

No more. From now on, any app that pushes ads on me but has occasional notices I do want will get all forms of notices disabled except the bulk Notification Center. There are already plenty of apps I don’t care about notices from whatsoever and those apps already have notifications completely disabled, even from the NC.

Today, after years of growing anger and frustration, I have finally deleted my Facebook and my Twitter accounts. I have stopped using both a while ago, hoping things might improve. But they don't. Leaving these platforms is the only significant agency we have as individuals. We have a moral duty to exert that agency. They only listen to the metrics. Tonight, it's –1.
