No Deal Brexit Leaflet...

Last gov leaflet I can remember is the one about which foods to eat for health. It said jam was the only food with no benefit whatsoever to health!

How little they know! Nothing like a jam sarnie to cheer you up when you're a bit down.

Unicorns, fluffy white clouds and sunlit uplands, with livery green fields things, where the piggy wiggles will be gambolling about cheered by crowds of peoples waving union flags of the many.

We are all part of the union of the British kingdom, none of that johnny foreigner union stuff for us ...... errrrr, righted tousled hair, pointy finger, waving kipper and quoting [passages from Cicero, and assorted latin phrases like ....

"Romane ete domum" etc. (Why doesn't GN have a latin spellchecker!!)

growstuff - they renamed it "The Daily Telegraph-Sun"

People will moan if there's a leaflet and they will moan if there is isn't. Cameron's pre-Referendum one stated quite clearly that leaving the EU would mean leaving the Single Market and the Custom's Union, yet Remainers still insult Leavers because they say they didn't know what they were voting for when every household was told this fact by the PM.

May's Deal was actually leaving on No Deal terms too; it just gave an extra 2 years of continuity in order to negotiate one, BUT only after we had given the EU £39 billion and let them continue to rule over us during that process so you can surely guess how good a deal would have been offered. Didn't they want over £70 billion in the first place?

Trading on WTO terms is just a starting point if we leave with No Deal. Liam Fox had indeed already negotiated Free Trade agreements to continue with several countries which had similar terms with the EU, like Switzerland, Mexico, Israel and S Korea ( yes, the EU is willing to give those countries a Free Trade Deal but not us, apparently!).

The EU has never been our friend or ally; they just want our money and to flood our country with their subsidised goods, at our expense too! If the price of some foreign imported goods go up in the shops for a while after Brexit- guess what- you don't have to buy them- then sit back and watch the prices fall if there's a glut. If we lose a bit of export trade, initially, for our own home produced goods then step in and buy more of those British goods instead to keep our own companies afloat until trade deals with those countries are finalised. That is the patriotic thing to do, and not to keep on singing the praises of some power crazy foreign enterprise we unwilling joined in 1973 thinking it was just a trading agreement.

Thank you, railman. That explains why I didn't receive it, but seriously I don't think May did send out any such leaflet, did she?

Good post quizqueen ???

I don't know whether it could apply to pensions, but Lloyds of London (yes, you did read this correctly) opened an office in Antwerp last year, and are now insuring all European shipping (commercial and private) from there and not from their head office in London.

So there may be a way round the pensions thing. I would look into having the pension paid into a British bank account then transferred to a European bank if it had been applicable for me.

I didn't get the May leaflet either - or the one from Cameron which stated that crashing out without a deal would be the default position.

That was the danger of voting to Leave - you didn't actually know what you were voting for beyond <vague wave of hand> leaving the EU.

GillT57 Agree with you. I wish the UK would get voting sorted. It was pathetic that such a large % of people didn't vote !

The B word is banned in house, from everyone that crosses the threshold. The leaflet will be another waste of valuable money. I would it sooner go to schools, police or hospitals as someone else has said.

Interesting reading the scare stories:

It’s going to be the most expensive election propaganda ever and they’ll get away with exceeding the legal limit because no election’s been called. £100 million they’re spending. Imagine what that could achieve spent wisely.

Why is BJ the idiot being so hostile towards Macron and Merkel ? This is not doing him or us as a country any favours. Who does he think he is ??

He thinks he’s king of the world. That’s what he aspired to as a child apparently.

I don't remember a May leaflet either, maybe it was only sent to Leavers? Don't remember Cameron telling us about the possibility of a No Deal Brexit either, but maybe I was too busy being calmed by the assurances that everything was going to be wonderful, lots of trade deals.......Quizqueen you have a very optimistic view of the future, not one I can share. I will remind you of your Pollyanna economics as I sit and watch High Street shops close one after the other wait for the glut of EUimported goods to be sold cheaply

He's posturing - reminding them that he's really, really, really serious about leaving without a deal. It's the political equivalent of manspreading or the Tory equivalent of the Trump handshake.

I voted leave because I was sick of the open door policy where we were being flooded with foreigns coming in without checks as to weather they were terrorist bank robbers or what. Now I am so sick of the Conservative’s for dragging the UK down and the mindless idiots like Cameron / May and others. I would now vote remain just to get my own back on the useless politicians who have caused so much stress and loss of money to the UK taxpayers.

Last week my huge Tesco was clearly short of assorted goods. Yesterday my local Co-op also had empty shelves. Haven't seen this for years and years.
Hopefully our new PM will be able tell us what we're likely to be missing next in the shops.

It's really strange that Cameron's claim that leaving the EU would mean leaving the Single Market and the Customs Union was vigorously denied by Leave campaigners at the time as part of Project Fear. I even posted a video still on another thread of Daniel Hannah saying that of course it didn't mean leaving the Single Market.
But now Leavers are claiming, with a weirdly dishonest and perverted twisting of DC's words, that that is what he was promising us. Well, Remainders are well able to spot the disgusting continuation of Leave lying. So don't try that one again,please, Leavers.

Bloody autocorrect.

Remainers

Any shortage of supplies is not connected to Brexit, we are still in the EU ( in case somebody hadn’t noticed.
High St shops have been closing down for some time ( also not connected to Brexit.) It’s a combination of high rates and Internet buying, and it will continue, because that’s how people like to shop.The High St has to change, unusual goods, good quality items and yet more coffee shops are the only ones likely to survive, along with shoe shops and a few clothes shops.
The High St had already changed quite a few years ago, as supermarkets took over the market for many day to day goods.

Just wish we could split the country down the middle and let the Brexiters have their half with blue passports and Boris, and the rest of us stay as British Europeans.
Build that wall!

Reminds me of the pointless twerpery of the first leaflet Cameron sent telling us to vote Remain or lose four grand a year. Most people clearly thought that was a small price to pay to cut loose from the EU or they wouldn't have voted for it.

British people don't like being told what to think or do. The Remainers won't be convinced and the Brexiters don't need it. Some people would do the opposite of what the government said whatever it was!

allule That's a clear way to divide families! Us and them.

I'm waiting with interest to see the reports about the Ruth D and Bojo meeting.
Will he bear in mind that it was only because Ruthie delivered a dozen Tories that they have a mojority? That majority is dwindling and Ruth is not a happy bunny!

To go back upthread a bit. 'Coming out on WTO terms is just the start'. I absolutely agree that it's likely to be the start of a long hard road, taking many years to achieve a situation that's nowhere near as good as the one we have now!

Hm999 Empty shop shelves? My Tesco, Morrisons, Asda and Co-op shelves are full, except on Fridays when the tourists descend on Cornwall and need to stock up for their hols. However, even then the shelves are replenished for the next morning.

Quizqueen The EU DIDN,T RULE US ,never have,EVERY decision made by them was agreed to by BRITISH MEP'S well apart from farage who abstained on everything except taking his wage and massive expenses.When will yo and so many other leavers understand that one simple fact ? The EU is resonsible for under 15 % of UK legislation and that was all ratified by the UK .As for foreigns coming in.....well lets see how well we'd do without them especially in the NHS! When they go the government will flood the country with cheap labour from Asia and eastern europe ...I dont know how you'll cope !
