It makes me sad how very true that article is.
Theresa May is a T1 as well so that's somewhat reassuring for T1s in the UK.
Although, people should be more worried that the Tories will move towards a US healthcare model. Good luck to the ordinary Joe attempting to live comfortably with a long term illness in that scenario.
The conclusion is true too, it's far better if the UK leave and preferably without any "soft" deals. If in 20 years you want to comeback or if the EU doesn't exist, so be it. But we should never pretend that brexit didn't happen or that we can be friends with benefits.
I vaguely remember Cameron's son being disabled and using some govt program, which Cameron's govt nonetheless cut.
Yeah essentially left-wing tabloid.
I'm sure May would have her supply at the ready if things did go tits up. As always politicians often operating on a different playing field to the average person who's impacted by their actions.
Rich T1s at least
The Insulin story turned out to be BS, the company that provides them expects no shortages in a no deal exit.
link?
Good article, hes on the money on a lot of points.
Paul Whitehouse isn't pleased by the Greenpeace piece.
But that makes no sense either, the tiny amount that is produced in the UK will hardly have any effect and people talk as if, in the case that there are shortages they would only be temporary, not just of insulin. Yes the companies can have buffer stock, which is economically inefficient but for how long. It's as if there would be a few days of suffering and then everything will go back to normal. What?
The UK will just pay import duty and fast track medical trucks at the border. It's not a good outcome but it's not going to lead to people dying from lack of medicine as the initial story implied.
No dead bodies littering the streets? How disappointing, some of us had been looking forward to that.
And everything else presumably.
More or less. One likely scenario is Britain has to completely liberalise their border to imports (you can't selectively do it under WTO rules) which is one of the reasons the EU doesn't want taxes collected this side of the border.
So anything and everything can enter the UK without checks. Dumping, smuggling, illegal immigrants, arms etc will be rife. Just as well Brexiters want to control their borders.
Don't forget the documentation, VAT, Tariffs etc to be collected.
Trouble is those lorries that enter the UK have to come out again, and they will be checked on re-entering the EU.
I mean, that already happens and aside from illegal migrants the current levels of trafficking more than meet the demand so there's no reason to think they'll skyrocket.
But the Uk will be known as an easy target very quickly. At the moment they are answerable to the EU for collecting the correct taxes etc - afterwards they're only answerable to themselves. I thought illegal immigrants were important to Brexiters.
Plus if the UK allows goods in unchecked they'll never get a deal with the EU.
Says allot doesn’t it. Some just are in denial and the others have no grasp on reality. Yet they get to decide your future.
At least mdma prices might come down I guess?
First time I've seen this muppet lost for words

I feel like the mood music around Brexit is slowly changing. Too late?
Too late I feel.
Its the hope that kills you
Just read that even Romanian and Bulgarian migrant fruit pickers are skipping BREXIT Britain because, for the first time ever, there is more money to be made in the rest of Europe. Leaving UK crops wasting in the fields.

Awesome. Shouldn't be anyone in the UK left unemployed by this time next year then. We can do away with benefits and put that money into the NHS.
It's really easy making empty promises isn't it.
I fear that it's more complicated than that, it's not simply too late but too fake. People have been taught to dislike the EU and other European countries, they are happy to blame continentals for every thing and remaining or a soft Brexit won't change that, the ingredients for Brexit are still there and they will come out at the first opportunity whether it is because the economy isn't great or because the UK want a particular deal/arrangement.
I have been in the "it's better if you stay" camp, from the beginning but thinking about it, it's a terrible idea and a very naive one, we don't trust you and you don't trust us, we are not on the same side and no amount of pretending will change that. A painful break is better than a poisonous relationship, we should both take the hit and move on.
British Sandwich Association saying ye won't have fresh ingredients such as lettuce and tomato as they work JIT for them.
Nice try
I'm not trying anything, do you really believe that the anti EU sentiment will disappear? It seems that a lot of people consider that the EU are punishing the UK and making brexit worse.
Says a guy in France who has already stated that the European dream is over for the UK
What this had to do with anything he’s saying?
He's not wrong.
Says a guy in France
Just answer the question, if you think that it really disappeared or that it will disappear then fair enough. But the opinion makers, the main parties are saying something else and remember that they are the ones that created this sentiment in the first place.
Yeah he's not wrong at all. The narrative is already being spun that all the crap we'll have to deal with after we leave is a result of the EU punishing us thus proving we were right to leave in the first place. The 52% will lap it up. Might even win over a few more simpletons to the cause.
Stuff like “are EU our friends? Real friends wouldn’t punish you for leaving” is doing circles currently.
