    Not sure Jeremy Corbyn has as much influence as many think! The unions have him under their thumb for a start but, apart from that, Momentum seems to be the puppet master and JC the puppet. More so too over recent months:noidea:

        Well, I think most people don't believe Jeremy is, or ever has been, influential outside the small party of extremists running the Labour Party, Verdun:dunno:.
        Macdonell appears to be the man running and pushing Jeremy in the direction that the extremists want, while Tom Watson the Deputy Leader has been pushed aside as he is more traditional Labour. So, right now Jeremy is regarded as a ineffectual figure head, who believes he is still the real Leader of the Labour Party and in control of the party.........silly boy!!:heehee:

            @Fat Controller this fruit ban is nothing compared to what China and Trump are doing to us. Our soybeans, pork etc are now not acceptable to China... after we actually followe the law and put the Huawei exec under house arrest in her multi million dollar condo and she is allowed to shop and dine out...

            We have an idiot PM and an even more clueless minister of foreign affairs. And we don't search every Chinese freighter for fentanyl and other bonus add ons to shipments. Stupid goverment...

            We'll muddle through. We're too polite to do otherwise :noidea:

              Apparently we are all going to starve after Brexit, so we will buy your fruit and your pork - - not sure about the soybeans though ;)........ oh, go on, if the vegan cyclists don't buy them we will smoosh them up and feed them to our pigs.

              See how easy it is to do trade deals? :biggrin:

                That's quite interesting as China is suffering from an almost total loss of their pig farming due to a national infestation of African Swine Fever virus.

                  So they are going to have a Sweet and Sour Pork shortage!?! It will be Brexit that has caused it - it is responsible for everything else apparently.

                        Well, @CanadianLori and I have struck a trade deal this morning which I will pass on to my pal Boris and hopefully we will in the future. In return, I am confident that the Canadians will want to buy our Rolls Royce engines for their aircraft and boats, as well as increasing sales of Jaguar and Land Rover cars.

                            @Fat Controller we aready buy your rolls royce engines for use in our aircraft industry. We import a lot of Briggs and Stratton power equipment too, I'm sat here with a cup of PG tips tea and on and on.

                            It would be a great triad to have Canada, Australia and the UK develop our own free trade agreement. :)
