Cliff Edge anyone?

Other issues like labour shortage becomes accuse, with the NHS in free fall.

Crops rot in the fields, until local volunteers try to help the farmers by giving a hand in the harvest.

-accuse- acute

Just makes you feel sick inside.!!
Did you watch Liam Fox on Question time last night - bringing up the chestnut of &2% voted for a Brexit party! 48% or more had no party to actually vote for. Also if Brexit is such a good deal what are the MPsnot allowed a free vote instead of a three line whip?
I am glad I did not vote for Labour now - even though I theoretically wasted my vote.

We can only hope that some leaving time is allowed within which one or two deals are brokered.

Yes this scenario is the "no Deal" scenario, so beloved of our illustrious prime minister.

But in any case I think it gives a very tiny glimpse of what is going to have to be achieved in the year remaining. I would argue utterly impossible.

You've forgotten that the main prop of our low productivity economy, the financial sector, will be weakened as major international financial institutions relocate to Dublin, Frankfurt etc.

Oh God yes!!!! How could I have forgotten that?

We are doomed

There is also an article today titled "the great Brexidus" and makes total sense.

Our skilled and well educated young and not so young will bugger off to seek a better life elsewhere.

Why wouldn't they?

Agree WW but what can we do. I was watching Question Time last night on BBC1 and was utterly dismayed by the lack of reality among the majority of MP's.

Liam Fox going on about 82% in favour of a hard Brexit. Yes but hwy did the 82% vote way - because they can't stand each other. Relatively few actually voted for the party they believed in but rather against the party they loathed. I despise both the main parties and their sheep like MP's towing the party lines against their own beliefs. We know what's wrong we just don't have a means of getting the message through so they listen.

When Brexit has happened, the NHS has fallen deeper into disarray the politicians will blame each other and the people will still suffer.

i knows from my work experience after things have gone wrong saying "I told you so...." wins no friends.

On Gransnet we rant to those who tend to agree with us which in the grand scheme of things achieves. little aside from spleen venting.

Write to the press/media - they normally ignore you.

Write to your MP - he/she generally ignores you too.

Join a mass protest if you live near London. You are branded a hooligan.

Rocks and hard places, cliff edges etc. all come too mind.

STILL NO ONE LISTENS.

Exactly WW - if I was young I would do an intensive language course which included business language and get a job elsewhere.

Going out shopping in a mo so will catch up later.

I think it really is time we got more actively involved somehow though. Otherwise we are laying back and thinking if England - or not.

It really is incredibly worrying if not disastrous.

STILL NO ONE LISTENS.

"Will of the people, mate" They can't possibly ignore that, can they? (even though 'the people' may well be changing their minds...)

Also, judging by the Leavers on here, Leavers truly believe that whitewave's list is either Remainers' fantasy/wishful thinking, or, that whatever benefits they believe Brexit will bring will far outweigh the downside.

But hey we'll have fewer of those pesky furriners, as no one will want to come here anyway.

Well if the Leavers believes this is fantasies , I challenge them to outline an alternative in the event of a cliff edge or no deal.

Depends how high your cliff is I suppose.

Wanders off singing 'he jumped from 40,000 feet without a parachute' .......

anya I assume he died poor soul

I think 'he landed on the Tarmac like a lump of strawberry jam' ...if I remember the song correctly. But I will stand corrected if others say so - it tended to be sung on coaches ferrying us back from outings in the 60s and that was long time ago and we had imbibed plenty of orange juice.

Hope that isn't a metaphors for a no deal

'Glory, glory what a luverly way to go..'

Something for everybody in that song

Only 18 months to go!!

How are we doing so far? Have we even dealt successfully with the first issue yet?

No? Oh dear

It's the fault of British business not doing enough preparation for Brexit yet, didn't you know?

www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2017/06/29/uk-firms-failing-prepare-regulation-changes-brexit/

Well, it is according to the Telegraph, owned by those well known Europhiles, the Barclay brothers.

Anyway, it doesn't matter because we don't want to buy anything anyway.

Bad news for British tie-makers as well. MPs no longer have to wear them.
