UK asks EU for Brexit grace period extension to 2023, BBC reports

LONDON (Reuters) - Britain has asked for an extension until 2023 of a grace period on checks that would be conducted on trade moving between Northern Ireland and the rest of the United Kingdom to soften the Brexit impact on the province, the BBC reported.

Political editor Laura Kuenssberg said Cabinet Office Secretary Michael Gove had written to the European Commission’s vice president, Maros Sefcovic, to ask for urgent political solutions.

As part of the Brexit divorce deal, the two sides agreed a three-month grace period on checks on food goods being moved by supermarkets and some wholesale groups from Britain to Northern Ireland, to ease the impact of the post-Brexit new rules.

That Brexit stuff is all very interesting but how many countries can say that they had a leader who run away from the circus to become a stockbroker ?

From the latest shit-bombing post

RT bullshit article claims:

The legislation grants undercover operatives – both employees of British state agencies and their informants – permission to not only commit crimes up to and including rape, torture and murder, but also insulates them from criminal prosecution and civil actions for doing so.


Complete and utter bullshit.

How much longer mods?

He's using a good source RT. com :plus1: :lol: :lol:

RT (formerly Russia Today) is a state-controlled international television network funded by the federal tax budget of the Russian government.[5][6] It operates pay television channels directed to audiences outside of Russia, as well as providing Internet content in English, Spanish, French, German, Arabic, and Russian.

RT has been described as a propaganda outlet for the Russian government[12] and its foreign policy.[13][14][15][16][17][18] RT has also been accused of spreading disinformation[18][19][20] by news reporters,[21][22] including some former RT reporters.[23][24][25] The UK media regulator, Ofcom, has repeatedly found RT to have breached its rules on impartiality and on one occasion found it had broadcast "materially misleading" content.[26][27][28][29] RT's editor-in-chief compared it with the Defence Ministry and talked about it "waging the information war against the entire Western world."[6] In September 2017, RT America was ordered to register as a "foreign agent" with the United States Department of Justice under the Foreign Agents Registration Act. Under the act, RT is required to disclose financial information to the U.S.[30]

UK ministers look into Covid ‘vaccine passport’ idea

Here we go. As predicted by yours truly, this is part of the roadmap to vaccine coercion.

"It's not us, it's other countries that are demanding it" is the line. Greece have started the ball rolling by suggesting that you have to prove vaccination and the UK government will facilitate the proving process. Eventually, the UK will reciprocate.

No Jab - No Job is already in place (Pimlico Plumbers, plus most care homes) and will expand quickly.

No Jab - No Fly, coming your way soon.

Officials asked to explore how British travellers might comply with requirements for a jab


The government is exploring the idea of documentation that would allow travellers to prove they have been vaccinated against coronavirus, the Foreign Office minister James Cleverly has said.

Boris Johnson’s spokesperson had previously denied there were any plans for “vaccine passports” – but officials have now been asked to look at how people could comply with the requirements of some foreign governments for a vaccination before travel.

Speaking on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, Cleverly said: “It is often the case that the entry requirements for countries [include] vaccines and inoculations – that is not an uncommon practice. We will work with international partners to help facilitate their border arrangements and immigration requirements.”

Greece is among the holiday hotspots that have suggested they would be willing to welcome tourists if they can show they have been inoculated.


The European commission president, Ursula von der Leyen, backed the idea in January of using certificates to identify people who have had the jab, but added: “Whether that gives a priority or access to certain goods, this is a political and legal decision that has to be discussed on the European level.”

Some travel companies have already made vaccines compulsory. Saga requires its cruise passengers to have had both doses of the vaccine at least 14 days before departure.
