so, when will you be starting stockpiling I wonder?

Can you provide a link please, jura?

Jura a Sun reader?

Plumbing the depths indeed!

www.thesun.co.uk/news/6747231/ministers-plan-to-stockpile-processed-food/

So- is this a joke - is it really funny ?

no dear MawB- I do not read the Sun or the DM- but I do read links provided by sources I can trust.

Mind you when at our local great Café in the UK, I always 'read' the Sun and the DM just to see if I am prejudiced ... and it never fails to prove that I am not - seems they are telling the truth this time.

I've just googled Sun News and got 'Gagging for Sex!'

Stock piling sex toys perhaps ? (now THAT is a joke ..)

Things are getting pretty drastic when the very party that permitted Brexit no longer talks of "project fear" and now envisages stockpiling food and a 50 year recovery period.

Whatever happened to "the easiest deal in history", "sunny uplands" and "350m a week for the NHS"?

Now it is plastered all over the Sun

10th July is hardly now. A week is a long time in politics.

"I've just googled Sun News and got 'Gagging for Sex!' "

Was there a connection there, merlot, or were you in that sort of mood already?

I think I'll stockpile fish food, for my 2 goldfish.

MaizieD, you state in your above post that a motorway (that being the M26) will have to be closed off and used as a lorry park in the event of a no customs agreement Brexit.

However, it had been admitted today by ministers and others in the Tory party that many other roads and motorways which terminate at major roll on roll of ports will also have to be closed of for the same provision to be made for heavy vehicles.

The EU has advised that the same provision plans are being made for all European major roll on roll off ports along the English channel and Similar plans are also being made for ports in Spain and Portugal.

However, what seems not have been brought forward in these admissions is the simple fact that those vehicles carry Britains trading lifeline to the rest of the world, and they would just be sitting there with perishable products deteriorating and rotting as fuel in those refrigerated trailers runs out.

Still, I suppose we can always bring back "dig for victory" and...."take back control". Whooeee :-)

Gawd, I am getting the same problem with random :-) being placed in text.

Must be Google problem :-)

Or is it your voice recognition thingy communicating facial expression?
If so ?????

Doesn't anyone find it horrifying that this exit from the EU that was going to be so easy, nothing changing, according to the law breaking Vote Leave campaign, has brought us to a state where a national emergency is being seriously considered?

All for the sake of...... what?

Should trusted sources and the Sun be in the same sentence?

Isn’t that called an oxymoron ?

No petra, it's an oxymoron!

MaizieD, as i stated it is all in the name of......." taking back control"......that's all that matters...:-)

Still getting that random :-) on this phone. Android have just stated it's a malware bug they have named "grin"

I chose The Sun for clear reasons - if I had quoted the Guardian or the Independent, you would have said what?

Apparently, it is being reported on Sky News that Britain will have to declare a state of emergency if a no deal Brexit happens.

Report(s) seems to be coming from government sources, not sure who?

Your reasons for reading the Sun must remain your own Jura ????

From Bob Stewert, what he would say to the eu.
"Look, we've tried to get an agreement in this country on trying to be as kind as we could to the European Union.
It's clear it's very difficult, so let's be quiet clear to you.
We are leaving the eu on the 29th march next year.
We will actually leave the eu and go back to WTO rules.
We will actually deal with the eu in the same way as we did before we were a member of the eu and in the same way, incidentally, as we deal with American imports into this country at the moment, and other parts of the world.
And actually, that's it"

And David Davis stated on the day article 50 was signed "these will be the easiest negotiations ever concluded".

Experience of life causes traumas some of which change a person. I don't disagree with anyone. I claim only that 'mental health ' relates to some criterion or other. Clinical mental illness is a set of criteria and practical measure for helping people to be free of emotional pain and not die of it.

Old people who have lived a bit and got experience are not necessarily damaged, but altered.

I like individuals to be individuals and not be ashamed to be different, including not be ashamed if they have suffered losses or failures.

Petra, Britain trading with America or elsewhere is on a totally different footing to the trading with the EU. With the European Union, we have developed over the last forty years a platform that brings and sends commerce throughout the whole of Europe using rapid frictionless road and rail transport systems.

The above cannot be changed overnight, for re-equipping the whole transport industry will take any months if not years. That is why they are undoubtedly speaking of a State of Emergency being declared on a no deal Brexit. :-(
