They never did a feasible study when we joined the Common Agricultural Policy union with Europe - Free trade which it was not as we had to pay into this protection racket - by Ted Heath in 1974 - by the way the biggest voice in parliment then were landowners whose plebs rented the farms off them - Purchase tax from 3 % to 9 % on luxury goods turned into 10% VAT to pay for such an extortionate membership and we lost our fishing waters - we lost the cheap food from the commonwealth - Food in the shops spiked - so do not post on here that what the bad changes may be - asking for it to be considered. We got told after a bluster of lies to join hard luck - the vote was to join the Common market in 1974 shut up!
Politicians like Enoch powell not in a racist way as there were only 7 countries in it stated that one day we would be governed by Brussels - he was spot on !
Why bother carrying out any impact assessments?
Brexiters aren't interested in any of that. They deride experts. They just want the government to carry out their will.
Corbyn should use his six questions today to just ask May to resign six times.

Unlike yours like?
You spout crap too you know - if anyone has not told you then I will!
David Davis informed Parliament that Brexit impact assessments had been carried out for numerous sectors of the UK economy in "excruciating detail"; he now has admitted that these impact assessments have not been carried out.
He should be handing in his resignation today for breaching the Ministerial Code.

I’m picking they were carried out but of course show the blindingly obvious, so it’s easier to just say we never did them.
I've been wondering about that, too. It's ridiculous.

Great repost Joe, I'd take that post apart line by line, but I can't be arsed, as all I'd get back is "we voted leave OK!" or something equally inane

"incompetence".
Imagine appearing that clueless one-and-a-half year into your job. I'd be fired on the spot.
I'm not sure Davis, Johnson et al have the first idea either. It's almost psychopathic.

“We have to treat the UK political system like a rotten egg,” said one EU source in the run-up to Monday’s talks, suggesting that if “the realities of the world” dawned too soon, the British government could become more fragile.
One MEP said the government’s weakness was “a key question” for the EU. “We are also in a very difficult position because it would not be in our interests to see the whole thing fall apart,” said Petri Sarvamaa, a Finnish centre-right MEP who is a vice-chair of the European parliament’s budgets committee. “At the same time … it’s not our duty to help the British government in a negotiation that is between them and us.
“The bottom line is that the May government is facing an impossible task,” said Sarvamaa, adding that promises made to British voters during the referendum campaign and before June’s snap election could not be kept. The government was in “an ever-worsening, deteriorating cycle,” he said. “I love Britain and I hate to see what is going on.
“They have to solve this thing 100% by themselves but unfortunately it looks impossible. We really don’t want to the negotiations to fall down, we don’t want the British government to fall apart, but what can we do?”
While Monday’s imbroglio was relegated mostly to the inside pages of many continental newspapers, the tone was often critical. “Theresa May taken hostage at the Irish border,” was the headline in France’s leftwing standard, Libération, which described Monday’s events as a circus.
Perhaps the most scathing verdict was that of the Deutschlandfunk commentator Peter Kapern, who described Brexit as “the biggest political nonsense” since the Roman emperor Caligula made his favourite horse a senator. “Anyone who needed further proof of this thesis has received it today,” he wrote.
Even if an agreement on Brexit was reached in the coming days, Kapern said, Monday’s events showed “that the United Kingdom will not only leave the EU but, above all, the world stage”.
The whole incompetence of the slimy, lying Tory government shown up in this one example.
