Please can this thread be kept on the topic of Brexit. It seems to be veering quite heavily off topic along with some questionable comments.    I'll be doing a thread tidy later on. Should a

I have to say.. you Brits sometimes seem to act pretty silly for an educated country.   You read through this thread and there are folks who seem to genuinely believe that there will be only

I’m quoting Michael Heseltine .....the Lord version.

He won’t be around to pick up the pieces either.

Little Britain has become Little England sadly.

We all know Boris is a loose cannon and like most politicians should not be trusted, but reading the Sunday mirror story online I can't help wondering why they haven't printed at least one of the 70 pages.

It’s the fact.

The content is for the gossip reader I guess.

Here's another thought. One of the UK's biggest exports is whisky. 

 

After 29 March if we go for no deal, japanese whisky will have easier and cheaper access to the EU market than ours. 

 

Taking back control is interesting.

Only one problem there both Japan and USA can't make Scottish Whisk(e)y. Must be something in the water but Jack Daniels tastes like PIG SWILL.:envy:

Cheap Whisky or Whiskey for everyone then, other than in the UK where the Tax / Duty goes to the treasury so to the people.

 

No Scottish Whisky cheap in Scotland where the water that falls from the sky so really belongs to the people of Scotland along with a few cheap products that get turned into a cheap product that gets stored for at least 3 years then gets a huge premium put on it and lots and lots of tax / duty.

Food & Drink is the UK's biggest export, and Scottish Whisky is a massive percentage of that.

Better to be hated than ignored. Well Donald Trump would agree on that one. :tongueout:

Guessing if it is classified or restricted they would be in deep doo doo. 

 

But nice to get confirmation what everyone has known for a while. 

 

 

There are no plans for a no deal, and even the brexiteers admit it'll be a disaster if it happens. 

 

 

Which is what is looking likely to happen. 

 

 

David Davis appears to have deliberately wasted time for this very scenario as we've only really started making any progress on a deal once he walked away.

Wrong. 

 

There are plans. Lots of them. Operation yellowhammer is part of it. 

 

And the plan to release prisoners under supervision of army veterans to replace EU workers is another. 

 

I had a call on Wednesday asking urgently for dates to meet to find out what the telecoms industry has done to prepare for no deal. The inability to move data across borders is the key concern. Especially the prospect of Amazon Web Services being unavailable for UK Web sites is a key concern they want to resolve or mitigate.

Which army veterans are these? There appears to be no mention of it to any vets, which will throw a spanner in the works.

Good news if you're IN the EU and you're looking for a new X Trail then. 

Yes, there will only be a 9.2% tariff now on cars coming in from Japan.

However:
