As one who trundles along the canal towpath at regular intervals, monitoring the accumulating rubbish is second nature so witnessing the mass clean up a few weeks back, which was well publicised, one would imagine that it would stay reasonably clean for a good period of time. But oh no, it's as bad as before the clean up so what is wrong with people? Safe to assume it is "local" rubbish so why not dispose of it in the nearest bin? All this furore over supermarkets using less plastic is pointless if the great unwashed are still going to dump their rubbish. Bit like blaming the car manufacturer because it's product breaks the speed limit. angry.gif angry.gif

Is that the same Grimsby who's fishing industry has been decimated by the fishing rights of the EU which we now propose to allow them to retain?

If we propose to stick with the policy it can only be because by doing so we gain more than we lose. It’s called not cutting off one’s nose to spite one’s face because no matter how much we might like to live in the past, we have to accept we are in a global marketplace and by sticking with the EU we are at least peripherally part of a major player.

Something like, we let them have fishing rights in our coastal waters in exchange they send us german cars without restriction? Brilliant deal! This brexit deal should be done and dusted by easter. Little wonder the ruskies put two fingers up to us. angry.gif
