Brexit

[Witton Park]

But that isn't going to work is it, we need some kind of trade agreement, otherwise we will have a very serious food shortage problem within just a few hours and at most a couple of days, of the borders being closed to hauliers.

Our food supply network is based on Just-in-Time (JIT) deliveries, even a minor disruption will cause chaos, see the effects of the petrol prices strike action September 2000.

The same applies to pharmaceuticals.

I hope I don't sound over-dramatic, this is a very real possibility and I believe there are already some effects being noticed in the pharmaceuticals delivery networks.

“A ‘no-deal’ Brexit would mean the biggest disintegration of the complex regulated medicines market in Europe in terms of regulation, cross border movement of goods, comparative pricing, and intellectual property,”

I'm sorry DM, but this is just complete tosh.

I can't remember a post on my fairly long time on this forum that has contained so many whoppers.

It might be economically more beneficial to have some sort of trade agreement, but that is a matter of opinion.
I can certainly give you some benefits of not having one.

Food shortages within a few hours! Why? We control what comes in. The Government has already issued information to say they will not be holding up goods coming in to the UK.

Borders being closed to hauliers! I haven't heard that one before. Source please. I suspect there isn't one.

Even a minor disruption will cause chaos? Really? Well I ship goods to the EU and I can tell you that 24 hour delays are almost a weekly occurrence.
Weather events, strikes, ferry breakdown, Train stuck in tunnel, immigrants walking through tunnel...…

I could go on.

The same applies to pharmaceutical! What the same bull-shit?

No you don't sound over-dramatic, you sound deluded. Do you also believe that rabbits fly and there are tooth fairies at the bottom of the garden?
