I didn’t vote for this. Literally NO ONE voted for this.
-
Strange. Normally you are so keen on telling us that people knew what they were voting for. Well, this is it.
-
We did know what we were voting for. And it wasn’t this.
-
You dont speak for all leavers. You all knew what you were voting for and it was a 100 different things.
-
And you are still agitating for no deal as far as I can see. May's deal not 'proper brexit'. Drinking water scenario occurs in the event of no deal. So what exactly DID you vote for, Julia? Really interested...

If these so called “ predictions” occur, then the government and civil service should all be sacked en masse. For Dereliction of duty. 2 1/2 yrs to prepare since the vote, 2 yrs to prepare prior to the vote. And still 4 months until the date. Longer then WW1 ffs.
-
FFS the Civil Service were in no position to prepare for Brexit as the Brexit politicians refused to come up with any kind of realistic plan or even decide what kind of Brexit they wanted
-
A government should prepare for many eventualities. The civil service even more so. ( it’s actually their remit)

I suppose before UK joined the EU, we couldn’t purify water.

We were posh,we had a straw.

You had a straw! You were lucky! We had a rolled up rat to suck our muddy water through. And that’s if we were lucky enough to have muddy water, sometimes it were just damp rocks which we had to lick!

There was none of this pansy soap or handwash. We had to use carbolic soap. No washing powder or machines either but mangles.
-
Yeah we had none of this antibacterial stuff ,we washed in good old bacteria....with a pumice stone and a bit of bleach if we could afford it..and then kept the water for drinking.. Did us no harm..ah the good old days

Why is nobody asking the obvious question: *why* would there be these shortages? Is our government literally going to barricade our own ports to stop goods coming in? Of course not! A bit of logical thinking will immediately abolish these ridiculous scaremongering stories.
-
Because the legal framework for our trade will be gone. There will be massive confusion over which rules apply to whom and where, leading to delays, leading to gridlocked ports, leading to shortages. Simple enough?
-
I'll ask again; will our government literally blockade our own ports because overnight it no longer recognises EU produce a safe to be imported into the UK? The answer is no. It won't.
-
They don't have to "literally blockade our own ports". It will happen automatically, on both sides simply because of delays. By what legal mechanism will we recognise each others' goods as "safe"? Do you suggest we just open the borders and let *everything* through?
-
You're really not grasping the whole part of being an independent sovereign nation, are you? *We* decide what standards to accept unilaterally. We don't need the EU's agreement.
-
Do we unilaterally control the channel tunnel, ferries and air traffic regulations? Do we unilaterally control undersea electricity oil and gas pipes ?
-
We don't need to! They're private companies sekkung into the UK who can continue to sell into the UK provided our government says they're free to do so and we recognise their standards just as we do now. It's really not a hard concept to understand.
-
There we go again. Recognise their standards = single market. A truly wonderful concept. The most advanced trading platform on the planet.
