Shipping problems

[j.sabourn]

#21. Can well remember taking shipload after shipload of Australian grain of all descriptions as well as sugar , and at one time there used to be a market for coal all into the Uk and these were only the bulk cargoes which also included ores of various descriptions. Not too sure about the refrigerated fruit and meat , although lamb was a favourite at times. I didn’t like the way how Australia was cut out of the market when the Uk took it upon themselves to untie the knot , and would not blame the Australian producers acting in a similar manner if the uk wants to come back to preconditions.

#20..It only took 20 years to start the groundwork for a so called E.U.previous to this there were very few countries in Europe fully pro allied cause, the Nazi”s had a toehold in every country , I seem to think the closest ally’s we had were the Greeks, France was playing both sides of the field just in case , as half were composed of a Vichy government , all the flag waving covered up a lot. Good propoganda after the war fooled a lot. The uk should know by now who her geniuine friends are , if not they are in for another huge letdown. JS

UK already has new trade deals after Brexit signed with Australia, New Zealand and Canada, the latter not very open because of its hands tied (Canadian French Lobby) trade deals with EU. Of course we already have new trade deals with South American and Caribbean countries which have to be renegotiated, but probably at more advantageous terms, as they will no longer be bound by EU tariffs, and this is what frightens the EU.

to make the break work we must start making things in Britain put people back to work buying our own goods not the cheep sh.te from the eu if we need it make it here all the EU wanted of us was money ? money to prop up skint countries bordering Russia now they will have a shortfall as regards tariffs do the same to them so one will cancel the other the special relations with the us is only because we are an aircraft carrier for them in the nuclear power race we should in future suspend any nuclear weapons protecting Europe in future that is? we can make this country great again if we work together? just a thought. jp

Its been said many times on this Forum, No matter who is at the wheel or on the watch when theres a major disaster at sea the first person to be questioned regarding accountability is the ships skipper even if he was asleep in his bunk, The buck stops with him, Brexit is no major disaster but could have been handled a hell of a lot better than those on the job who fell asleep at the wheel, Where is David Cameron these days he was the first to jump ship, Followed by Theresa May, This is GB We are talking about, who where victorious in 2 world wars, If we hadn't have been victorious in Europe there would be no E.U. 11/11/11/ Every year people in little towns and big cities all over Europe including France pay homage to the fallen who liberated there country. In my opinion that should never be forgotten. We where took into the common market on a whim by Ted Heath Back in 1973. Did we sign up to give our Sovereignty away and get rid of the famous slogan known the world over as Made In Britain, No we never, So when the dust settles and hopefully the British public can get accountability from there skipper as to what went wrong we can get our eye back on the ball and start building a future that our young people deserve. MADE IN BRITAIN. Terry.

hi red lead ted
your right about ted heath, he was a lying hypocritical duplicitous power seeker, just like all politicians. as they all knew what the common market was to become, ie a german super state. and to top it all this was only twenty five years after we went to war over principals for the sake of poland and the expanse of germany.
but the truth be known david cameron would never have given this country the referendum, except for the fact that nigel farage was going to beat the tories and the labour party in the next general election, so david cameron decided to have a referendum, thinking that the electorate would not vote for the brexit,and the rest is history.

Briefly I did an inert gas course for tankers in a motel outside Southampton whilst phoning home from the motel found a notebook lying beside the phone discovered it contained banking details of transfers from a Saudi bank and the costing for the buying of an air to ground missile , this was among other things , also the mention of the Morning Cloud. Being half shot I called the police and repeated some of the contents and then went to. Bed .,about 2 in the morning the motel received a visit by the heavy squad. I was awakened by a burly police sergeant with a night stick who asked for the book , he thanked me and said go back to sleep.Others were not so fortuanate. I heard no more but some time later an IRA bomb factory was discovered in Southampton. Cheers JS

hi john sabourn
firstly i must congratulate you on your due diligence, whilst under the influence of alcohol, and then your keen sense of duty in reporting the matter immediately to the authorities,
i must though at the same time take you to task, for if you had just gone to bed then ted heath may not have been around to either sail morning cloud or take us into the common market.

I too felt aggrieved at the time that the UK was forced to abandon AUS, NZ, SA and all other, mainly Commonwealth countries, never saw any price advantages in the shops, despite fruit like apples and oranges flooding into the country from closer at hand sources. Still remember Cape apples and Outspan oranges.

The EU 27 are just 7% of the world's population but account for 50% of the world's welfare spending, the UK contributes 1/5th of all funds the EU27 have at their disposal, okay they screwed us out of £39 billion as a divorce gift, but at their rate of spending they will be in deep doo-doo before 2021 closes and 2022 the chickens will come home to roost. Hungary and Poland so long under the heel of Moscow are not going to accept being under the heel of Brussels, they already disobey the dictats of Brussels closing their borders to immigrants, even though Brussels say they must take them. Also Poland does not have one mm oo ss qq uu ee in the country, either public or private and intends to keep it that way, if only we could have been as strong
