Current Affairs EU In or Out

[The binman chronicles]

Industry and Banks will be well prepared. So the economy will be fine.......

Yes you are right, they are ready to move to a country inside the EU.

 

[St Domestos]

They are not well prepared. They have told you they are, but they are not. Meanwhile the U.K. is prepared for no deal, even though we are told we are not.........

The truth is nobody know's until it happens.

that Soubry interview sets a new standard for mendaciousness

apparently Boles' amendment wasn't his anyway, so its alright to vote against someone like him

 

[Joey66]

It's like the vicar of Dibley - No No No No......again .....
It's only a small defeat a few votes- they say on the custom union - the public referendum was 1.4 million was to leave the single market and the cutoms union .......
What is it those MPs just don't get ?.....?

Of course, every industry that wants to export does so to a lesser or greater degree....BAESYSTEMs has over 5,000 people in Saudi Arabia......

This is obviously true.......

Remember when Gordon Brown sent tanks to Heathrow.....

It’s a bit more serious than that. All the movers and shakers locked away in a bunker with the army on the streets.

Why invoke something like that if they have nothing to fear with a no deal Brexit?

Granted it’s probably the worst case scenario that’s been played out in COBRA but they must believe it’s such a plausible scenario to have invoked this contingency plan.

Plans are always in place for disruption. The big issue industry will have is the over-bearance of central government to manage things themselves. The majority of what I have seen in relation to emergency planning is 'make sure you're Business Continuity plans are in place and the Government will sort everything else'

Freight, shipping, permits, medicines, medical devices, data management all centrally managed by government contingency planning.

Gives me great confidence knowing that Chris Grayling is in charge of ensuring the countries medical supplies are on time.

The ports have their own BCP’s in place and the majority have designated space in the container parks to manage disruptions. The vast majority are running on a week delay in a no deal scenario, Felixstowe probably being the odd one out due to ongoing ict issues at the port

The problem is operation stack

What? a bit dramatic don't you think. The impasse is the disconnection between MP's and the people- they are after all public servants. You may not like the result of the referendum but it happened.

I don't disagree with the result necessarily, I disagree that MPs should be able to accurate interpret the will of '17.4m' based on the word 'leave'

Fair point - If 77% MP's voted leave do you think we'd have this gridlock

It's not necessarily the Ports, although I understand that planning only really started in January for No Deal, that will be the issue, it's the transport links too and from, the ripple effect of disruption on the road networks.

Although, from statistics I've seen very few ports are actually practically prepared for No Deal.

No I think they'd decide what they thought the country meant by 'leave' and do what they wanted based on that.

Which is not as I'm routinely told by leave voters in here 'the will of the people'.

I don't see what the problem is with asking the public what type of Brexit they want.

Because they are idiots. Jesus wept, imagine if these people were actually conducting a war......

 

[peteblue]

There will be mayhem when the Speaker brings the same proposals back for a third vote.......

 

[JimmyJeffers]

no deal will destroy people’s lives. The people advocating it won’t be the ones getting screwed. Ridiculous.
