Brexit 'could put countryside, farming and wildlife at risk'
Brexit 'could put countryside, farming and wildlife at risk' http://news.sky.com/story/brexit-cou...-risk-10717420 Quote:
British farming faces significant risks after Brexit - including a loss of subsidies, tariffs and increased competition, according to a new report.
Parliament's Environmental Audit Committee is also warning the Government that environmental protections must not be weakened. The Committee's chairman Mary Creagh said: "Changes from Brexit could put our countryside, farming and wildlife at risk. "Protections for Britain's wildlife and special places currently guarded under European law could end up as 'zombie legislation', even with the Great Repeal Bill". |

Gist is that although most EU law will be taken on by post Brexit UK, the organisations needed to enforce them won't exist.

Lucky she highlighted it then, as part of her job, thus ensuring that it gets proper consideration (and one hopes ensures it is not forgotten) and one would certainly hope the Committee does not just walk away thinking that's 'job done' now they've punted this out because it's their job too, not just the Chairman.e2a: and a remark from the NFU in the article about that Brexit could be an "enormous opportunity,". |

but the building of another 200,000 houses (along with the necessary infrastructure) won't.

Well if subsidises are cut for land owners not to grow food, then that land might be used to actually grow something, and there is no reason that subsidies can't still be paid by the UK Government to farmers that actually farm, rather than just horde land for subsidies and do sod all with it.

The biggest threat to our native wildlife is the intensive agriculture pushed by the EU.
The 2nd biggest threat to our native wildlife is our ever increasing population caused by the EU's freedom of movement. |

Regurgitation comes to mind with regard to this topic which is not unusual for the OP.

The above link says that farmers are going to have a lot less red tape. Some of the things the EU currently make them do are perverse and must cost millions. "Today the Environment Secretary reveals what Brexit means for farming: a bonfire of cumbersome regulations that currently cost the industry million of pounds a year. When we leave the EU Andrea’s farming minister George Eustice will end the ‘three crop rule’ regulating how many different crops farms must plant. Defra say this will allow 40,000 farmers to grow the foods people want and add millions to the economy. Barmy Brussels diktats defining what makes a hedge a hedge or when a puddle becomes a pond will be binned. Paperwork required from flood-hit farmers will be reduced, as will the number of expensive government inspections. Most satisfying of all: farms will no longer have to pay for and display ridiculous 6ft by 4ft propaganda billboards publicising the EU contribution for grants, as they are currently required to do. Millions saved, millions added to the economy, hundreds of thousands of hours saved." |

Good lord, another thread with basically the same message - negative speculation on Brexit.
You must be taking up a lot of time to do this and I do wonder what you are trying to acheive. Here are your last few: Sky Data poll: Britain more racist and less happy Brexit 'could put countryside, farming and wildlife at risk' 'Worrying' drop in leisure visitors to Britain "Brexit is much more complicated than Theresa May is prepared to admit" Marks & Spencer ‘to increase prices by up to 15%’ despite making post-Brexit promise "Brexit’s slow-burning fuse will reach a powder keg this year" Brexit vote sparks rush of British Jews seeking Portuguese passports Brexit is the 'firing gun on a decade of disruption', report finds Brexit to send UK tumbling down world economic league table Britain will get a Brexit trade deal that 'satisfies no-one' E.U. Agency in Limbo as Hidden Costs of ‘Brexit’ Continue to Mount |

On your phone (no names of OPs next to thread titles) guess which/how many threads are started by the OP. I usually score quite highly these days - they are getting easier to spot. Next - guess how many are started between 8-9 am. Havent worked out the reason for this though. |

The cackling from the undergrowth by the Brexit-supporting rank-and-file conceals their basic unease at the consequences of their rash and foolish actions, a sort of gallows humour which is entirely justified. With the country split from top to bottom and little prospect of national unity returning we are all in for a rough ride. You cannot hide from all this and it will only get worse. So continue to cackle and chortle on, Brexiters, as our country slips down the toilet due to your stupidity. We know that you are not responsible for your actions - its always somebody else's fault.
