I would blow Dane Cook posted:Almost 1,000 police officers from England and Scotland are to begin training for deployment in Northern Ireland in case of disorder from a no-deal Brexit, the Guardian has learned. lol good luck to them. The British border in Ireland is porous as gently caress. There's at least 300 road crossings that will need to be patrolled, and countless unofficial crossings. Hell, there's one stretch on a major route between the UK and Ireland that crosses the border 5 times in a 10km stretch. Tens of thousands of people commute across the border every day, from going to work, to nipping across the street for a pint of milk, since the border runs right through many communities. NI is a weird place. With all the focus on the DUP right now, a lot of people think it's an enclave of ultra-Britishness. But it isn't - the majority of NI voted to remain and since the Good Friday Agreement it's been almost a buffer between the UK and Ireland where both governments have a role.

Any good long reads on the state of brexit? We're two and a half months away from Britain killing itself and probably the world economy but no one seems to know what's going on, or they don't care

Who actually trades solely under WTO rules? A good short article from 2017 determining which countries trade exclusively under WTO rules besides the U.K. soon. Short and sweet.

Brexiteer: We'll still have lots of food, just not what those dirty Europeans call food. Back to good old fashioned English gruel for us. Well when I say us, I mean all of you. I'll just move to Italy, I love their food and they're still in the EU so I can get my medicine. gently caress you, got mine.

Seems your country really is hosed, huh? I'd say I'm surprised they'd let it go this far, but from what I've gathered so far about the Tories, I probably shouldn't be. Anyway, my sister is studying abroad in Scotland this year, is there anything on how a no-deal Brexit might impact exchange students?

The best part is it's not even true. We're a net food importer. About 50% of our food is from Britain, 30% from the EU & then the rest. And that doesn't account for all the crops that are picked by seasonal workers from the continent. lol We're so hosed. Not enough grains, not enough meat, not enough veg, not enough fruit, not enough fish. Oh and prices will have to go up because so much of our are farmers are subsidised by the Common Agricultural Policy subsidies.

MikeCrotch posted:can't wait to make fake coffee out of wheat berries and acorns Acorns used to be a key part of the diet of the ancient stone age hunter-gatherers of Britain. In certain seasons they would migrate to areas with lots of acorns, harvest the ripe ones, pound them with giant mortars into a meal, boil them to remove the toxic quantity of tannins, and then roast them into a sort of dry mealy cake that could that could be carried with them and stored through difficult parts of the winter. And soon it shall be so once again.

On the bright side I'm pretty sure that access to fishing in British waters is more permissive under EU rules than it would be after you build the Brexit wall. Then, if you just emergency slaughter all the live stock, you can probably feed the whole of Britain on fish soup and horse feed.

Then, if you just emergency slaughter all the live stock, you can probably feed the whole of Britain on fish soup and horse feed. The UK exports much of the fish caught in its own waters, such as herring, saithe, hake, and sprats. In contrast, the majority of cod, haddock, salmon, tuna, and other fish that British people eat must be imported. After Brexit, it is predicted that the British market will become flooded with cheap unwanted fish from British waters, driving down the profitability of fishing in the UK severely. At the same time, price for the desired foreign fish will go up just as severely if the British white fish fleet doesn't have access to foreign waters. In any case, it seems that the UK will be the more desperate party at the negotiating table of the global market when this is all on the table for discussion in 2020, and British fisherman are worried that even more fishing rights in the UK are going to be traded away then, in addition to the fishing industry generally taking a punch to the face. a long article about fishing after Brexit from the Scottish perspective
