The big Brexit thread - news, updates and discussion

Cheers. I thought it seemed a bit out/simplistic.

Still shit though :)
There is no doubt that Brexit has been a massive drag on GDP. How much that should bother people is genuinely worth proper discussion. The hegemonic view of a reified “economy” as an entity that is worth sacrificing anything in the service of is definitely something that needs to be brought into the light for proper examination.

Yup.

I am kind of involved now via a contract/project. It is pretty staggering how much is still not agreed or ready :(
 
Felixstowe Port in 'chaos' as Christmas and Brexit loom

Some shipping and haulage companies have complained of "chaos" at Felixstowe Port in Suffolk, affecting goods in the run up to Christmas. One ship due to be unloaded at the port last week was redirected to Rotterdam because of "unacceptable" delays.
The owner, Hutchison Ports, blames pre-Brexit stockpiling and the pandemic. Freight manager Matt Hudson warned that "if the chaos continues, increased shipping prices will be passed on to consumers".

The British government needs to make concessions and get a trade deal with the EU. It will be a disaster if there is no deal Brexit come January 1st. There would be an endless truck park in Kent and shortages of vital goods including medications.
Boris Johnson, do not let this happen. It would radically hasten your departure from 10 Downing Street, as voters, even those who voted for Brexit, would not forgive you.

I dont think he reads urban
maybe looks at the naked thread

seriously though, i think there'll be queues even if there is a deal? anything short of a customs union means paperwork

I think you are probably right. Brexit was a serious mistake of historic proportions.
I am sure the country will get over it eventually though.

The French will probably make life really difficult for us and cause massive delays.

Hopefully the Irish peace process does not collapse.

What were we thinking to have voted for this?

Why do you think people voted for leaving?
 
There's so much polling evidence about the declared drivers of decision making in the 2016 referendum; do we really need to go over all that again?

If only HMRC had been given any clue that the site at Waterbrook park might be flood-prone.
2Hats posted the other day

"The WMO has notified that a moderate-to-strong La Niña has developed.
This usually influences UK climate towards a milder/wetter/stormier 1/2Q2020 winter due to an amplified North Atlantic jet stream."
...a wet winter beckons

If it has been built on a flood plain we'll find out soon enough
