So once we are no longer a part of the EU, companies within the EU will refuse to sell us food and medicine?
What about cars. Do you think they'll still sell us cars?
I must say, it all sounds rather unlikely. Almost as if it's a load of scare-mongering cobblers. :shrug:
Hmm could make a nice side line on eBay imo
Indeed. I mean, I’ve no idea how this plays out but neither does anyone else. The amount of scare mongering on the part of the remainers is quite pathetic. Do they think that all trade will stop and that no one will be authorised to ship anything to the Uk.
Instead of carping on about how our GDP will reduce to that of Kenya’s in the next 12 months, why not spare a thought for how much of a detrimental effect a no deal position would have upon the EU.
Losers on all sides, not just over here.

"Incredibly pro-Brexit"??? He's on-board with the soft Brexit Chequers agreement, FFS! There's every reason to think scaremongering is in his interest.Quote:

Which sounds quite unlikely, doesn't it?Quote:

Writing something doesn't necessarily make it true, la.
Not according to Burney. And a great many other people that voted Leave, I expect.Quote:

Brexit stills means Brexit, to everyone except the stupid c*nt who coined the phrase :shrug:Quote:

I can't find any food suppliers explaining how they're going to withhold cabbages, either.

I don't think people are saying they are going to withhold food or medicine, but changes of regulation will cause disruption the supply chain.Quote:

The craic was grand here, sw.

Yes. All over a bit quickly, but a least a ball was bowled, unlike the other games. The big test series seems to start a bit late this year.Quote:
