Andrew George
Promoting the
Politics of Courage
I’m running a positive campaign to restore decency and honesty to our politics. To build a brighter future. To combat those who want us to become more inward-looking, backward-looking, more self-absorbed. I’ll build a campaign for an outward-looking, forward-looking and compassionate country.
We’ve been misled by a privileged clique who’ve irresponsibly played on fears to stoke prejudice. We must get beyond the Brexit chaos they’ve dragged our country into. We must restore the things that matter for the sake of our children’s future – our NHS, our schools and the very sustainability of our planet.
Come and join a growing campaign team. We’re determined to win this seat back this time, to make the difference, to build a brighter future.
Many people say “you politicians are all the same”. That statement has never been more untrue. The choice here is stark:
Andrew George - Standing up for Cornwall
National campaigner, local campaigner, former MP.
Andrew describes his role - "Seeking out the silent voices. Standing up to bullies. Fighting for justice”
Liberal Democrats - Building a brighter future
“Fish happy to have their sovereignty back!”
And this from a Tory who fills his boots by betting against the UK economy in the money markets.
Brexit always was project of lies led by a bunch of spoilt public school boys - Mogg, Johnson, Farage etc - who regarded it all as a jolly jape.
They may be comfortably insulated from the impact of their lies, but it's not such a hoot for the thousands who will now suffer, lose their jobs and go out of business because they duped enough people.
Promises of “taking back control” of our fish have of course proven to be empty lies, just as we had warned .
Fishermen complain they’ve been “ betrayed”, as we warned they would be.
Fish Merchants now confront the rotting fish reality of the Brexit trading deal, just as forewarned.
But at least “Fish are happy to have their sovereignty back”!
The posh boys who led us to this smirk with delight. Their lies also gave them a comfortable 80 seat majority.

Jacob Rees-Mogg says fish are British and 'happier' because of Brexit – video
‘They’re now British fish and they’re better and happier fish for it,’ the leader of the Commons told MPs
I often used to say in Commons fisheries debates "Fish may not be that bright. But they're at least bright enough not to have hang-ups about their nationality" and then watch the swivel-eyed tory xenophobes smoulder on their benches. Most of the commercial species migrate across "territorial" waters. Now they can do it proudly carrying their brand new blue passports! What fun for them! 😊
They're not twats - (well obvs they are, but...) - they're winners. 80 seats. Gerrymander and moan all you like, that's a whacking majority. Do we really have to wait until all their voters pop their clogs before anything changes? Sorry, incandescent with impotent rage this morning.
Surely fish are a wild animal and belong to no one until they are caught, at that time , they are past caring about who has caught them.
Another hunt loving Dickensian who has no idea of normal life
Jacob Rees-Mogg anthropomorphising fish... fancy that! Well, they do say like goes for like...
I think some of those rotting fish might be happy dumped on his doorstep.
He might take a different view if he was in the fishing industry
God he is a lying turd
Just shows you , the appalling attitude Tory MPs have towards the general public . Complacency!
What a twat so out of touch with people trying to survive and make a living
What's the problem with going to a public school? Or being posh? Bit of a pathetic argument
Marcus Rashford's excellent campaign for children in food poverty shamed the Conservatives into a grudging backdown.
But instead of learning lessons and really helping they again handed contracts to their Tory chums to offer cold comfort and food fit to be composted.
Just employ the public sector or charities with a sound track record to administer food vouchers; and make sure they can be redeemed at local grocers and suppliers, not just the big supermarkets.
Free school meals firm with Tory links shamed over £30 shopping basket
metro.co.uk
One parent worked out the contents of her parcel were worth £5.22, while another called the amount 'laughable'.😡😡😰😰
Just when you dare to think they’ve given in and done the right thing after extensive public pressure, this is the reality.
These criminals need locking up, it's like a Dickens novel, an absolute outrage, stealing from hungry children
Tory links ? Ah, so trying to make a fast buck from public funds while denying the poor.....why are we surprised ? Yes, job should have been handed to local charities or reputable concerns.....
Giving families money and letting them buy their kids food with it at the store of their choice is the "private sector solution". Sending families a standardised box of food regardless of preferences is the "big government option" even if you outsource screwing it up. The government doesn't even understand it's own objectives any more.
Clearly one big scam someone is making good money.
Absolutely shameful! Nothing there to sell on!
I'm surprised that Boris hasn't given the CEO of Chartwells a knighthood yet.
Aren't food parcels rather too reminiscent of the Red Cross during the Right Wing's favourite period of time? As well as 100% price mark up and the dreadful substandard food, there is so much to despise about this policy...
Beyond words!
Bit of an own goal - Chartwells were the first "school meals" organisation to sign up to his "end hunger" programme.
Shame on them.
This is just like the food box I was sent during first lockdown, as I am shielding all the fresh stuff was mouldy, pre frozen “plastic” white bread that had to be used in 2 days it was very low on nutrition and high in salt and sugar it was the saddest collection of food
This is literally unbelievable.
All those who have received these pitiful boxes should get a voucher issued even though they had the box. The box is a disgrace
How about parents feeding their own kids like they did years ago ,I was a 6th child born during the 2nd World War , my parents like everyone else in those days had no Family Allowance .Mother used Father's wages on food to feed the family ,should of thought buying food should be first on the list for parents , not just sitting around waiting for others to feed your kids .
They are scum, amd unaccountable
"Taking back control" ...so the Conservatives can quietly reverse promises on environmental standards.
So it begins...
www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/bees-kill-pesticide-insect-sugar-neonic-b1784693.html
They trumpet statements and press releases when green-washing themselves. But I doubt they'll shout about this latest mask-slip.
And they can't claim this as an example of using "freedoms" won after leaving the EU because the EU also permitted the "emergency" use of neonics; which 10 EU countries had been taking advantage of in recent years for the treatment of sugar beets - see my comment below...
Government to let farmers use bee-killing pesticide banned by EU
‘We need urgent action to restore the abundance of our insect populations, not broken promises that make the ecological crisis even worse,’ says Wildlife Trusts
Following the prohibition of all outdoor uses of the three neonicotinoids imidacloprid, thiamethoxam and clothianidin in May 2018 and the non-renewal of approval of thiacloprid on 3 February 2020, 10 EU countries have repeatedly granted emergency authorisations for their use in sugar beets. ://ec.europa.eu/food/plant/pesticides/approval_active_substances/approval_renewal/neonicotinoids_en
Whats the alternative?
Perhaps this is a fable for our "alternative fact" time? Those who lie are rewarded with high office. Those who warned against their dishonesty are left to point out the contrast between their hoax and reality. Those who voted them in are left to live with the consequences
...until a fresh set of lies are dreamt up for the next time they need their votes.
Brexit export hurdles and complexity - NOT unexpected - Andrew George
www.andrewgeorge.org.uk
The media is now reporting post-Brexit export hurdles and complexity as if this had not been forewarned. If they’d attended any of my public meetings which offered technical advice and guidance on the necessary preparations for Brexit they would have been aware of the challenges faced, especially ...Mind you. It's fun to see spoofs like this. (Expect Brexit campaigners (& Trump supporters) believe it 😉) www.suffolkgazette.com/business/uk-banana-plantation-selling-bendy-fruit-after-brexit/?fbclid=IwA...
Here's the table Sarah presented at the public meeting I hosted two years ago in Pz. It simply contrasts the frictionless trading arrangements we enjoyed up till a week ago with what our fish exporters face now. This expert advice has been freely available. Has anyone been listening? I suppose we deserve the mess we're in now if we're served by a superficial and lazy media more interested in "stories" than in the pursuit of truth.
The "alternative facts" have begun already with brexiters claiming that Nicola Sturgeon is responsible for the delays to shellfish sales to the EU in order to discredit brexit. What nonsense!
We are currently living in France.There have been several posts on FB where people have been saying how much duty they now have to pay on orders made to companies in the UK.One order to Holland and Barrett for £27 ended up being another 20euros in addition to the £7 already paid for postage.
Please try to keep a straight face...

Why try to keep a straight face? I grin again every time I think of this!
Straight face is easy....trying not to pull an angry face is harder 😡
You couldn’t make this up in a million years 😂😂😂😂
They are laughing at us. We never learn.
You couldn’t make it up.
Reality once more outtrumping satire...

Here's a nice turn to the story 😆
