That reminds me of one of today's youngsters I know, not the sharpest tool in the box, more concerned that his eyebrows are right and he is the correct shade of orange, but, I digress, of he went to vote with the family, remember and vote tory his dad said. Afterwards asked how it all went, said youngster states he couldn't see a box for Tory, so voted lib dem!!!!!

This could be expensive.
Interested to see what others think.
This is typical of the Brexiteers arrogance that 'British Standards are best, we're the experts etc'. All aviation standards are derived from the International Civil Aviation Organisation and EASA has been instrumental in the setting of new standards for my role in Aviation with ATSEP. It was EASA who defined what knowledge material that I must know to be accredited to do my role.
The CAA had a wishy-washy system defined of a paragraph in CAP670. EASA wrote a whole book!

I presume any flights going to Europe will still have to comply too, or is it flight going through European airspace?
Meanwhile, in order to cut the EU red tape, we’ll throw millions at writing something new. They will have to comply with both EASA and the UK version, but I guess, like the passports, it’ll be blue tape rather than red tape now...

In a years time, it’ll be renamed Ngland with fears that the E actually stood for Europe.

For the past ten years or so, we've been working to single European skies, harmonising any subtle differences. Such as ensuring that controllers, engineers, pilots are trained and continue to be competent to a common high standard,. Also that aircraft and ground equipment is manufactured and maintained to a similar high standard. Any change is this is either going to lower standards or be inconsistent, so the minister is a fool.

Sounds like a silly thing to do, but I think it also highlights a problem with the EU.
The EU model is that everything in Europe has to be part of the European Union, when all kinds of regional bodies can work perfectly well without being subsumed into a single political entity. Bodies like the European Space Agency (ESA) and European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation (EUROCONTROL) work perfectly well outside the EU, but even the independence of ESA is under threat from EU centralisers. As someone who is strongly in favour of international co-operation and collective standards-setting, but strongly against superpowers and political unions this is very frustrating.

Another Ponzi scheme thinks it can print its way out of this!

Merkel agrees!

Europe’s Ponzi is gonna do even more Ponzi?
How is issuing more debt and interest rate cutting gonna halt the spread of the virus, get people healthy and back to work and improve supply chains?
Their crooked fraudulent economy is about to come crashing down and they are panicking.


Europe solved its debt crisis by issuing 10 times more debt.....it's coming home to roost now- they just printed and papered over all the cracks.
