Even were there to be long-term benefit (and I feel that is very unlikely), the actual process of leaving will cause a shock. You just have to look at the uncertainty involved which simply will not, cannot, be resolved in the short term.

One director is French. But it appears that no-one in the industry seems to believe they could be up and running from Ramsgate by 29/03/2019. No ships. Difficult/restricted port. Website shows they are not even advertising for staff. I saw one possible ship mentioned - launched 1987 which is...

Looks like it was supposed to have started on 1st March 2018! https://theisleofthanetnews.com/2018/04/14/thanet-council-confirms-talks-with-ostend-ramsgate-ferry-operator-hopeful/ The company appears to be worth approximately nothing - certainly not what I would sink millions into...

Just the best deal.

Yes, well aware that those convinced we should hurtle into no-deal will point out the remain credentials of the Guardian. Food prices to finance: what a no-deal Brexit could mean for Britain Guardian journalists spell out the potential impact, sector by sector, on national life...

An excellent plan, then. :)

And is reported to have voted remain, and again reported to have said he would vote remain again in another referendum. Not the actions of an out-and-out brexit supporter.

How would those who do not register, did not vote, spoiled their ballot paper, etc., be taxed?

Funny how the article identifies several French ports but none in Dutchland.

Internally, we could print and print and print. The government could do all sorts of things to try to keep things working. Externally, our money is worth what the rest of the world thinks it is worth. The more we print, the less it will be worth. If we imported nothing, might not be such an...

Anyone keeping track of current total cost of brexit? I guess people who use the roads around these ports will be looking forward to the additional traffic. For which, no doubt, nothing has been planned nor money spent to increase capacity. The burden probably ending up on the local authorities...

Maybe Brexit will be good for Merlyn Welsh Cream Liqueur? Partner seems to prefer it to Bailey's but it seems pretty similar to me (I don't like either).

I mostly buy Welsh cheddar. Some of it is very nice. Possibly ironically, a seemingly Welsh cheese, Caerphilly, is mostly made not in Wales. Though Traditional Welsh Caerphilly and Traditional Welsh Caerffili are now protected names. And very nice that too can be.

Even Canadian? Or is that the implication of Canada ++?

Better qualified for his role than many others.:) Reminiscent of Denis Howell in 1976, first made Minister for Drought, then Minister of Floods. Are they hoping that simply creating a Minister for Drones will solve the problem?

Roy Greenslade was pretty damning of the coverage in some papers in his Guardian piece. It is not as if they (the papers which appeared to name and shame them) didn't have form - remember Christopher Jefferies...

Happy Christmas to all - wherever you live and which ever way you voted. No royalist, but... Queen tells nation to put aside differences in Christmas message With Britain divided by Brexit, monarch will say peace and goodwill needed ‘as much as ever’ Trouble is, just how do people do that...

Agreed through and through. I am aware of some pharmaceutical products that are scheduled to be manufactured only at certain times, possibly just once a year. If they get the quantity wrong, or the product is not up to spec., we see shortages for months.

I have posted several times about the concerns many have regarding medicines and brexit. This sort of report would appear to engender worry, even fear, though there might be nothing whatsoever to be worried about. Pharmaceutical firms preparing no-deal Brexit ordered to sign NDAs More than 60...

Without for one moment implying any transgression of the laws of theft, this story makes me think of the various quotes about thieves falling out. Brexit backer Arron Banks faces questions over uncut diamond Campaigners report businessman to multiple authorities over gem allegedly removed...
