EU referendum...THE RESULT...and aftermath...

After securing the airports!

Trump is getting more like Al Murray Pub Landlord by the day. He's a real hoot.

Welsh farmers threatening civil unrest over no deal Brexit.....the EU gravy train is coming to an end Dai.

More scare stories by remainers.

Apparently since our Lamb will be too expensive to sell to the EU once we are out and tariffed the Gov't, prop b Johnson, has a plan to burn and bury the 9 million sheep we usually sell to them.

I am sure that the Tories, top negotiating team, Raaaaaaaab etc, will avoid this somehow.

Take back Cuntrol.

Apparently we can sell it to Japan. Despite us not having a trade deal with them and the nation not even liking lamb.

Another day of taking back control

Yes we will sell Lamb to Japan but the market is much smaller than the EU. As for the bigger picture,
"So far in 2017, the UK has been the third largest importer of sheep meat in the world, while holding its position as the third largest exporter globally."
Obviously as a leaver I'm much to stupid to see a solution to this problem maybe our more intelligent friends can help me out?

Unfortunately Earwig you are not in charge, Nigel and boris are so let the burning commence.

This is thanks to being a member of the EU customs union, which allows us reduced or tariff free access to some markets and . So straight away by going to WTO terms exporters will have to pay import tariffs, which makes our product more expensive. Then you've got the issue of customs checks, checks are not great when you've got perishables. Then you've got the issue of Geography, its easy to trade with the EU one not only because the single market allows freedom of movement of goods, people, services and money but because its on our doorstep. Japan is not. Not that we have a trade deal with them anyway.

I am sure we will leave the EU, I am sure Nigel, Aaron, Boris and all the other Tory millionaires will also makes heaps of cash too.

Take back control.

I'm not sure we will leave. This will go on and on and on.

Difficult to say at the moment, as the moment we're still in the phoney war where Johnson can say and do what he wants with impunity. it will take the first brush with reality to see how he responds and understand the direction he intends to take.

It was the same with May. She began with all this talk of being "a bloody difficult woman",  "crush the saboteurs" and "enemies of the people". She insisted we leave the single market and customs union even we were told during the referendum we would do neither and whacked loads of Red lines  on immigrations, which ended up just painting her into a corne. We ended up with a half baked Brexit which pleased no one.

Perhaps she should leave without a deal, a couple of days of sheer chaos at the ports and we'll be begging to be let back in.

The fact that a few days of chaos at the airports striking terror into a nation speaks volumes. Plan up, man up and deal with it.

It wont be a few days though. Nor will it be just be at airports. We can't plan for something because we have no idea how disruptive erecting a load of customs boarders where previously there none will be.

Yet no one has adequately explained what tangible benefits we'll be getting in return.

Pound is approaching parity with the Euro, good job no will be able to afford to go on holiday.

I got €1.08 to the £ this morning. Not great, but I’ve had worse.

"£4bn has been allocated to the process of leaving the EU already" says Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab, "we will do whatever it takes to make sure we can leave the EU

The Magic Money Tree is in full fruit.
