UK faces food and fuel shortages in no-deal Brexit, says leaked plan

London (CNN) With less than 75 days until Britain is set to exit the European Union, a government report leaked to newspaper the Sunday Times reveals the disastrous effects a no-deal Brexit would unleash on the country.

The United Kingdom would likely face food, fuel and medicine shortages if it crashes out of the bloc without a transition deal, according to the forecasts compiled by the Cabinet Office under the code name "Operation Yellowhammer."

The dossier also predicts the introduction of a hard border in Ireland, which has been a main sticking point in negotiations, and severe travel disruptions at UK ports that could last up to three months.

Medical supplies coming from Europe will be "vulnerable to severe extended delays," and the availability of fresh food will be reduced, causing prices to rise, the newspaper reported.

It added that the public and businesses remain largely unprepared for a no-deal Brexit, and that growing "EU exit fatigue" had hampered contingency planning.

"This is not Project Fear, this is the most realistic assessment of what the public face with no deal," a senior government source told the Sunday Times. "These are likely, basic, reasonable scenarios, not the worst case."

Once again, right-wing ideology trumps anything remotely resembling reason and common sense.

Yeah, it's still Project Fear. The same govt that leaked the info also stated that it was a "Worst case scenario", not a guaranteed outcome or "the most realistic assessment". Once again, left-wing ideology spins the fucking crap out of what was actually stated and trumps anything remotely resembling reality and fact.

No you read it wrong. Again. Go back and read that part again.

It said the predicted shortages are NOT the worst case scenario, they ARE the realistic scenario.

*AHEM*

Yeah, it's still Project Fear. The same govt that leaked the info also stated that it was a "Worst case scenario", not a guaranteed outcome or "the most realistic assessment".

A govt Minister specifically stated it was a worst case scenario. CNN once again disseminating false information based loosely on a bit of fact.

CNN: Deciding you only need the facts they want you to know.

CNN: Fox News for ALT-left morons who laugh at the ALT-right morons for watching Fox News.

P.S. I wouldn't use a paper edition of either (if they had one) to line a bird cage so don't bother blabbing about me being some low IQ Fox News watching twit. The difference between you and I is I know CNN is just as bad as Fox News. It's a shame too because there was a time when CNN was pretty damn good. While they still leaned a bit to the left they were still unbiased and objective enough to be reliable. Today they're about 1, maybe 2 steps up from the National Enquirer.

Before the Common Market (name before the EU) the UK did okay with food import/export. After joining, food prices generally rose. A large amount of inferior French fruit and veg became the only choice. People were really pissed of that they couldn't get the English grown produce. Farmers were equally pissed that they were somewhat restricted in selling their goods to the English market.

Time to go back to how it was and give an almighty fuck you to the EU.

Why would English produce have disappeared?

French farmer food subsidies, paid for by the EU, money collected from members, like the UK.





The UK literally collects money to pay to others to put their own farmers out of business.

It’s funny how obsessed the North American Right is with the EU. Normally they don’t give a fuck about other countries or the people in them. But all of a sudden they’re deeply interested in finer points of intra-European trade and principles of democratic supranational governance and spend vast amounts of time writing about something that doesn’t affect them at all.

Perfect example of how the Right is told what to think by Russians and multinational corporations, who are the real forces behind the anti-EU agenda.

Always remember, the Left accuses others of what they themselves are doing,
to try and deflect attention away from it.

Sorry only the Right unconditionally loves Putin and unquestioningly worships billionaires and corporations. You can make comments like the above to try and pretend that water isn’t wet and you can try to stand in front of a mountain and tell people the mountain doesn’t exist but you’re not fooling anyone, just making yourself look stupid.

That's because the previous two attempts to unite Europe under one authoritarian flag required Americans to bleed to free Europe from itself.

Twice was enough.

Do you ever get tired of your idiotic horseshit?

The EU is literally the exact opposite of Germany unilaterally attempting to conquer Europe. In fact your friend Putin is probably the next guy to try and conquer Europe by force I guess it remains to be seen which side you Deplorables would choose to shed blood on in that happened.

[BartSimpson]

Let me be clear here: Do not call someone my friend or anyone else's friend unless you know for a fact that they are indeed friends of mine or someone else's.

Consider that fair notice.

[BeaverFever]

Ok ok. Touchy aren’t you? Don’t you think that’s being a little snowflake-t?

Very well. He’s not your friend he’s Trumps friend.

BeaverFever BeaverFever:

There, that's better.

As far as Putin goes, just because I may like/respect some of what he does that does not make him my friend nor does it mean I support him or that he's my friend.

Shit, no more than I may on occasion like or respect some of what you might post.
