There is more. Please read it. This isn't a prediction put out by scaremongers, it is a worst-case scenario put out by what we laughingly call our own government.
It contains everything that everyone has been warning about for the last four years.
Now come on, do you REALLY want to crash out of the E.U.? I mean, REALLY?
Jesus Christ. What has everyone been telling Brexit voters since the very beginning?
I repeat - this document was written by a Leave government office. How many more times does everyone need to be reminded that a no-deal exit could lead to anything other than a complete fucking disaster for everyone other than the 1% who make up the wealthiest in the country?

DeleteDamn those typos....
DeleteIf I remember correctly (not guaranteed) it was that EU countries will still want to sell us stuff because they need the money.
I have two relatives who can no longer get the medication they normally take after it took years to find one that suits them. They are having to take alternatives that are not suiting them as well and their GP's explanation is that they're being withheld and stockpiled on the other side of the channel. The assumption is that supplies can be resumed at a much higher price after brexit.
Of course they still want to sell us stuff. We want to sell them stuff too. We also want an uninterrupted supply of medication and all other goods which have hitherto crossed unmarked borders without let or hindrance, but laws and regulations are going to have to change, otherwise what is the damned point of leaving the E.U.? We have shot ourselves in both fucking feet and now we are expected to walk away unaided.
DeleteI've a copy off the link on the 'EU Observer' website. I noticed no. 15 is redacted.
ReplyDeleteI understand that was about disruptions to fuel supplies!
DeleteYes. First they refused to publish it but were then forced to by Parliament, saying it was 'out of date', and when they did finally release it parts were blacked-out. Number 15 must be really scary.
ReplyDeleteThe trouble is that the damage is now done and if we are given the second, three-point referendum that Corbyn wants, there will still be violence on the streets if it goes the other way. Britain has changed forever.
If they said it was 'out of date' that's another lie. The date is on it: 2 August 2019.
DeleteYes. They said it was out of date before they were forced to publish it. They are a bunch of liars with Boris the biggest liar of the lot.
DeleteThere isn't anything such as a Leave government office, only random MPs some of whom are leave and some of whom are remain. I don't feel this is a Leave Government anymore than it is a Remain Government.
ReplyDeleteMaybe so, but it is still an officially commissioned government report. The current government is Leave, deal or no deal, and it doesn't matter if this stance is a dangerous game of bluff in a desperate attempt to get the EU to agree to different terms. The sacked ministers have no say in it any more than their fellow back-benchers.
DeleteIt doesn't feel like any sort of government. It won't last much longer.
DeleteDefinitely not! You're right. We are now rudderless.
DeleteHa ha, we called our government that after Prime Minister Rudd was rolled.
DeleteI can't understand why people still support us leaving, but there are plenty of them about apparently. The papers say that the British people all support Boris - well that's not the case here.
ReplyDeleteWhich papers do you read? The only people I know who support leaving and Boris are 52% of my followers.
DeleteI only read the Sunday Times, it lasts me the whole of the week. I glean my information from headlines seen on other papers.
DeleteI remember the 'worst-case scenario' of the Millenium Bug. If you prepare and nothing happens THEY complain that you have wasted enough money to fund 20 new hospitals or some such. If you don't plan and shit hits the fan you are incompetant. I suspect that, as usual, there will be a bit of trouble ahead but the UK will cope.
ReplyDeleteThe millennium bug was a deliberate scare put out by I.T. companies so that everyone in the industry could make thousands by 'preparing' for something which they knew would never happen. Politicians were so gullible that they did not notice that the defence industry took no notice of the scare. Nobody was set to make any money from the Operation Yellowhammer report - just the opposite. THEY (or WE if you prefer) have been trying since the beginning to get YOU to accept that a no-deal exit will be more than 'a bit of trouble'.
DeleteIt was drafted by a Remainer fighting from the Remain corner. The part about the two oil refineries closing has been taken out because it would have shown it for the idiocy it was and whoever leaked it got that paragraph taken out. Philip Hammond most likely. Apparently nobody is going to want oil after the EU.
DeleteSyria will and does. I have just lost three paragraphs of script here, and I really cannot be fucking bothered to type it again. I'm not sure it is worth it. You will always see yourself as a survivor, even if it is to the detriment of others who were not so sensible as you when looking toward their financial futures.
DeleteLike I said a few times, I have never been able to take you seriously. You don't ring true. You don't believe half of what you spout out here.
The "apparently nobody is going to want oil after the EU" was the joke. That is why I said the paragraph was taken out before it was leaked because it was so crazy. I did not make it up.
DeleteI made the joke bit up because I thought the idea that nobody is going to want oil was bonkers. The refineries closing scenario was the paragraph that was taken out.
DeleteOk, sorry. I am not in a good frame of mind tonight and I really don't want to kick any cats. I sometimes like cats. I am so sick of people sticking to their party line as the ship goes down, that I see almost everyone doing it all the time. We are all in the same ship.
DeleteCameron's memoirs are about to come out. Brace yourself for a soft slap in the face with a used condom.
ReplyDeleteOr a wet kipper.
DeleteI'm just quietly sitting in the Netherlands, trying to sound anything but English when talking to people, hoping that no one will ask me what's going on....
