isn’t there an issue with certain goods being prevented for export by the EU if the destination country’s customs checks are deemed insufficient? ie medicines and nuclear/chemical materials ? I would imagine lassiez faire border controls would do that

I guarantee in the worst case scenario the brexiteers will all be screaming 'WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US' about everything, or more like blaming the EU and the minorities and the liberals. Likely all of the above.

so is this likely to finish off what remains of quaint English/Welsh/Scottish villages and poo poo people picture when they imagine the british isles? like all those semi-rural picturesque places surely require tremendous subsidies that largely come from the EU and probably rely, to some extent, on tourism and the cheapness of goods so are they just going to wither and die

Oh gently caress christ All the emergency funds will go to emergency firms set up one month ago and run very badly by Tories and their bezzie mates. There will be inquiries as money vanishes and people die. Strong reccomendations. No consequences. No Tory will see any blame for brexit once the dust settles. Corbyns plan to avoid the blame is insanely naive and pretty stupid. Within 3 years all the media and 70 percent of the public blame corbyn for brexit like labour and the GFC. No brexiteer will realise theyr wrong The narrative will immediately switch to being stabbed in the back by elitist eucrats and scheming subhuman migrants /prophecy ends

Microprophecy: The economic devastation caused by brexit is blamed on brexit for a full year but by 2021 the narrative is back to wasteful state spending on immigrant benefits has bankrupted us and the media has no memory of brexits effects.

Hentai Jihadist posted:Microprophecy: I dunno, everyone has spent the past three years talking about Brexit. It's not like some law that was debated for a couple months and then passed and a year later a bad thing happens. I'm not in Britain but it seems like Brexit has been the number one topic of discussion for like, literally years now. And when Brexit happens there's going to be a very sharp and obvious change.

Someone on twitter posted a thread about how tariffs on sheepmeat will immediately jump to 50% (ballpark) and there's more than enough Aussie and Kiwi capacity to undercut most non-industrial sheep farmers even without tariffs. Scotland and Wales are extra hosed.

As far as I’ve seen the massive amount of CAP funding is being replaced with a “Lol get hosed”. Even if they don’t get undercut farmers are still hosed

The Common Agricultural Policy is the EU's funding route for agriculture, and whilst member states can bolt on their own side policies it mostly rewards land ownership and 'land stewardship', both of which obviously reward people with lots of land. This map of Scotland is five years old but if anything it'll have consolidated since
