So do I, anyone with young kids and a job in manufacturing industry. Quite honestly it's less worrying now living in another country, even with all the practical problems.
Brexited | the worst threads live the longest
- Thread starter Silva
- Start date
And what's more, it's still even less than what the Tories initially promised, and is still wholly inadequate. An absolute joke and just shows the contempt to which those in the corridors of power hold the North in.
Years of neglect by both parties? Only one party has been in power since 2010 and halved City council budgets!
Irish drivers - heard today that you won’t be able to drive over the border into the north without a special permit. Taxi driver today was telling me because they sometimes get fares going from Dublin airport up to Belfast
Special permit... You mean an international driver's licence... They have been advising for months people should get one at least in the UK... Dunno about Irish government advice
Also a lot of insurances and breakdown covers are on a Europe wide basis... Not sure if these will still be valid?... But knowing insurers is they can avoid paying they will
- Sir Ivan Rogers, the former UK ambassdor to the EU, has said Britain is not ready to face Brussels in the massively complex trade negotiations that will begin if Theresa May gets her Brexit deal through parliament. Speaking at the Institute for Government, he said:
You’ve got to have confidence as chief trade negotiator, both at an official and ministerial level, that you have got a highly competent set of people in every area from aviation to energy to phytosanitary to competition to employment. In every area, you’ve got to have vetted that team, know it’s got the capabilities, know it’s got the resources, know it’s got the legal framework and the background and be at least as good as the team on the opposite side of the table. It isn’t the case. We are not in that position.
But what about the highly trained, competent team that will be negotiating with the USA,or what about the one for China , what about that immensely competent team for India , what about.... , hang on, just how many fantastically competent teams have the UK got...
Taxi driver seemed to think that there was something on the news today about a ‘green card’ not an international driving license
Either would be a pain in the arse though
You'd need both, the green card is the insurance, just like the old days.
Ahhh I see
I got an email today from Admiral saying that since I live in NI I will be getting a Green Card in due course which I might need to use in the event in of a No Deal Brexit.
Thumbs up to Admiral
What an utter clusterfeck.
It’s an insurance green card that means that they will be insured in NI. Most of the people in boarder towns have been given them.
Can we have the countdown in days? Or perhaps hours:mins:secs, like the TV series "24"? It will be more exciting! May reverses article 50 with only 2 seconds on the clock!
But beware! The clock terminates at 23:00 hours British Time on March 29th, not at 24:00 hours! That's because the countdown is in Brussels time! Another trap by the cunning EU!

After watching that Fyre Festival documentary on Netflix, I believe that Brexit is very similar but on a much bigger scale. They had many chances to pull the plug but just continued until it was too late and it turned into an absolute laughing stock of a shitshow. I wouldn't be surprised if May ordered one of her staff to perform certain "favours" in order to gain necessary concessions from Brussels.
Read the comments on this. Full of people saying they'll boycott BMW then and more 'will of the people' BS. Do people genuinely want the UK to leave the EU at any cost?
Who're they going to blame when the real difficulties of Brexit occur, after we've actually left?
French customs have worked to rule today to show what will happen after Brexit. Massive delays ensued.
Don't massive delays always occur when French Customs work to rule?
Thanks Paul!
I just watched this guy explaining the problems of a No Deal Brexit from a legal perspective. He left no sources for what he was saying so I have to take him at face value. However he claims that from Human Right perspective No Deal would be illegal due to the lack of food and medicine which would endanger life, the lack of existing laws to replace EU laws or laws not being in place in time for the end of March and insurance policies being null and void for many people which could lead to a backlog of cases.
If he is right about this and the UK government persists with a No Deal Brexit then surely it cannot be legal.

It was about customs, wasn't it? After Brexit, perhaps Theresa herself may have to ask for favours from Customs officers. Those lucky bastards. She can dance, too!
For food he is wrong, you don't need an actual deal to trade food, you will simply have to respect WTO basic rules. For medicines, I don't know the exact process but if I'm not mistaken the issue is about licenses and their regionalisation (like insurances) if I'm not mistaken the UK government should get in touch with manufacturers and should have done that a long time ago.
Are people answering that Tweet really that stupid with there Project Fear comments and we are taking back our power this from BMW is because if a no Deal happens then there will be disruption to the supply chains, car parts criss cross different countries and with no customs union there will be hold ups so no wonder that they are considering moving some of the engine production to Austria.
It’s interesting that the online misformation campaign is underway again.

The latest that I have heard is that Brexit is like the Millennium Bug a lot of panic but nothing will actually happen. If you come back with Honda and Nissan they say that they were going to leave anyway and has nothing to do with Brexit. People will never accept that they were made a fool of. It can never be their fault therefore what ever happens there has to be some other reason for it.
Except with theY2K bug there was a couple of years of hard work to prepare for it.
Fail to prepare, prepare to fail
The millennium bug never actually brought down planes either, this probably will, as in, they won't be going anywhere.
It won't bring down planes, they'll wont be allowed to go up in the first place.
That was sort of my point Colin.
Yeah I know. I understand the work that went into preparing for the Y2K bug. I know people who were drafted into it and the hours they had to work. They don't though. They have heard a buzz feed that someone has come out with regarding project fear and vaguely remember the headlines about planes falling out of the sky which didn't happen so they think it's cleaver to parrot the line and use it to say that people overreacted before and are doing so again.
I live in an area where people are proud to have banners saying Leave Means Leave in the back window of there cars. Where people say to you, I bet you're a Remainer? Then when you say yeah they go I thought so you're the type. To which I reply, thank you. I'll take that as a compliment.
I don't argue with them as because as the saying goes, “Never argue with a fool, onlookers may not be able to tell the difference.”
These warning don't mean shit anymore. It's like the Trump debate. If you're for it, nothing is changing your mind.
Hopefully, folk like that will stay in the UK for their holidays from now on, and European resorts won't have to put up with their general boorishness.
