Nice little present for Ian Botham 10:02 - Aug 24 with 3290 views | Basuco | For supporting brexit, being made a trade envoy to Australia, which means he can enjoy 1st class flights and hotels and expenses whenever he wants, all at the tax payer expense. Nice "work" if you can get it. | | | | |

Supports the idea of non-EU trade deals and understands the Aussies will try and cheat given half the chance. He will open doors that a faceless white collar bureaucrat can't. | | | |

"understands the Aussies will try and cheat given half the chance. He will open doors that a faceless white collar bureaucrat can't." Do you read the Daily Mail per chance? From an interview with the boozy meat head himself from last year (on being asked about being a peer): “I’m enjoying it and will be at Westminster more often when we get back to normal,” he confidently told the newspaper. “Especially when they are debating something I know about — like sport or the countryside. Not much point if it’s a trade deal with Japan.” Let that sink in. | |

Dyson already has the ear of the government for any tax changes that he thinks would benefit him. Expect Wetherspoons Tim to get some sort of backhander in the near future.

And that, folks, in a single post, is precisely the kind of xenophobic jingoism that led to this entire fustercluck in the first place. | |

Seems his knowledge of the countryside is based on shooting things. So that just leaves sport, 1980's cricket and walking to John O Groats being his specialities. Bet he's a whizz in the house when those come up for debate. | | | |

Do you really think he will be the one doing the negotiating and not just there for the meet and greets? He is more than qualified for that position. Love that people are up in arms about Botham, but not the orange flag waving bigot Jeffrey Donaldson getting a similar appointment. | | | |

It matters little who the UK send out to any country, the UK will have to accept what it is offered, as has been the case so far. No improvement on any deal, merely rolling over what it had in the EU - which means abiding by EU standards/regulations, or as with Japan getting less than what the UK previously had. And as pointed out to the endless Brexiteer bleats of "project fear.... baa baa.... master knows best" we have yet another warning coming true. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2021/aug/24/uk-brexit-safety-ukca-mark-eu-c "The government has pushed back a deadline for the launch of post-Brexit product safety standards by allowing companies to follow EU rules until 2023, in the latest climbdown amid concerns over the economy." as explained "William Bain, the head of trade policy at the British Chambers of Commerce, said the delay to the UKCA mark was welcome but added that fundamental problems in the post-Brexit system could damage British firms. “Complex supply chains such as those in the automotive industry still face having to duplicate markings on certain components and incurring large costs for testing as a result,” he said. “This could compromise the output of these industries, limit availability of goods for consumers and create mounting cost pressures on British businesses.”? Having it put that simply, it is hard to grasp how stupid you had to be to not understand that. To be so stupid that you believed habitual liars such as Farage and Johnson over business leaders, the CBI, the Bank of England, ALL major UK and Global banks etc | | | |

Which leads me to my original point. Botham vocally supported and campaigned for it. He now has the opportunity to do something about it. Perfect for the job. | | | |

In the same way a spiritualist should be allowed to visit a graveyard and show us all how we really can speak to the dead. Town leaving the football league and arranging football matches with the worlds top clubs under different rules is never going to happen - irrespective of what one player tells you can happen. However, he has been appointed a trade envoy, which is absolutely nothing to do with any trade negotiations. Rather on par with 'megaphone man' wandering around outside PR. A pretty pointless 'job' other than the kudos it supposedly gives to that chap. | | | |
