A no-deal Brexit is likely to have profound consequences for the UK, according to a government assessment. The report says food prices would probably increase, extra customs checks could cost business £13bn a year and there is little evidence firms are ready for the changeover, among other dire warnings.
so you posted a article from news round aimed at children are you suggesting all the people on this forum are children who dont understand adult news you should be ashamed of yourself
Most children would understand that leaving with no deal would be catastrophic for the UK. Try allowing your grandchildren to read the facts, then ask them.
my son read all the facts and he still voted to leave know doubt he explained his decision to his children my grandchildren and i know he made the right choice because my son IS not a child hes a man
The government has published its assessment of the impact of a no-deal Brexit on business and trade. The report said "some food prices are likely to increase" and customs checks could cost business £13bn a year in a no-deal scenario.
It repeated analysis suggesting a no-deal scenario could leave the UK economy 6.3% to 9% smaller after 15 years, compared to what it would have been.
It said the worst-hit areas economically in a no-deal scenario would be Wales (-8.1%), Scotland (-8.0%), Northern Ireland (-9.1%) and the north east (-10.5%).
I'm impressed that jeff's son was able to source all the facts! Since he seems to be the only person in the UK to have access to all information, maybe he should have been in charge of the negotiations. Good idea to link to the simplest version of brexit but those who are most in need of the explanation are the least likely to read it! As far as brexit goes, ignorance rules!
I am amazed how various TV broadcasters give huge amount of air time to Joe Public saying " leave means leave! we should just do it. We're Great Britain" etc ? These people appear not to be able to articulate any basic fact or reason other than some misplaced longing for the past! There must be some of the 52% who are able to put a reasoned & thoughtful answer when stopped in the street!! Othewise it looks as if the allb voted in ignorance which would be shocking.
urmstongran at least half the country will feel badly done by whatever happens! Not exactly a winning situation for anyone living in a divided society.
Dominic Grieve is doing what he feels is best for this country. I believe that he is a truly honourable politician at a time when they are pretty thin on the ground. Plenty of leave supporting 'politicians' [I use the word loosely] eg Nigel Lawson/Farage have EU connections [Lawson planning to or already lives in France and Farages' children can have German passports] and I find them far more two faced than Grieve in that they and their children will have access to rights that they want to deprive other people [especially the young] of.
