Now if EXPORTS are held up at EU ports, where are ferries going to unload their lorries? And where are the lorries going to be found to IMPORT goods to the UK? Or do you think that transport companies are going to be willing to see their earning potential (and cover the wages of their drivers) while sitting for 6 weeks on docksides in EU ports of entry for 6 weeks in order to earn a couple of days income for delivering a load to the UK?

That article seems to imply that tariffs on importing goods from abroad would go down when we leave the EU? But if we are falling back to WTO rules (as we have no trade deals), then surely that means we legally have to apply the same tarrifs to all (MFN rules). So unless we are scrapping import tarriffs completely and totally undercutting our own domestic producers, how are imported goods going to be cheaper to the U.K. shopper? -Matt | |||

"The Sequel - Project Fear 2 !" Project reality. People starting to get real. Heads could be buried in the sand for so long. A fully briefed and educated electorate and business community are essential, if the biggest changes to the country are decided on one public vote and £billions of business is jeopardized or has to be undertaken with major upheaval or change to the bottom line. | |||

The Tory fallback is to take control of our borders by opening them to all imports without tariffs and to remove all employment and product restrictions to keep UK business competitive.

When the EU released its no deal contingency plans a few weeks ago they said they would not hold up traffic at sea ports and airports, planes would continue to fly and ferries and lorries would continue to operate as normal in places like Dover and Calais for example. A few quick mini side deals may need to be done (a managed no deal) but that is what the EU's own no deal contingency plans said. | |||

"Michael Gove is a worm, he said he wanted a hard BREXIT, then Ms May gave him a cabinet job and he changed his mind. How bright was that light in the road to Damascus? How much is the snake oil these days? Fuck him." Gove exposed himself as a snake 2 years ago when he stabbed Boris in the back. If he hadn't done that I think Boris may have won the leadership contest and we would've had a Brexiteer Prime minister instead of the Remainer Theresa May. If Gove had backed Boris he may have got the Chancellor's job, as it is he's now in a much less prestigious position at DEFRA. | |||

Fact is he didn't have the guts to face Gove down and put his trust in his own ability and standing within the party, maybe he knew what the answer would be.. Ditto he bailed out as Foreign Secretary instead of fighting for what he says he believes from within.. Hardly PM material, more like wishy washy self promoting cancer.. | |||

They also said they will not deliberately slow down traffic entering the EU, but they have said that they will be applying EU import regulations.

"I go to a venue fairly local to me and the land is owned by a farmer and his son. It has been interesting to watch them change from fervent Brexiters in 2015/2016, to being mildly regretful in 2017 and towards the end of last year become furiously enraged. They said that almost every farmer in Lancashire, Merseyside and Greater Manchester voted for Brexit, despite being advised to the contrary by the NFU. Now that it seems apparent that Brexit is going to be about reducing import tariffs to reduce the cost of foodstuffs they are seemingly mightily pissed off. Their point is that a reduction of import tariffs to boost the economy is only going to be a short-term, shot in the arm whilst it will do immeasurable long-term damage to the UK agricultural and farming industries. It just surprises me that a body of farmers can so dramatically change their opinions so near Brexit day when the concept of reduced import tariffs has never actually been a secret and in fact, it was what their very own NFU warned them about in the referendum campaign period. Maybe they assumed it was Project Fear (Farming)? | |||

Leave with no deal 64% Leave with May's deal 29% In a 2 option referendum, Leave with no deal vs Remain in the EU, a majority of tories would vote Leave with no deal on 76% Basically Theresa May's deal has gone down like a lead balloon with Conservative party members and it's pretty clear they would rather leave with no deal that support her deal.

"The Sequel - Project Fear 2 ! this is your government minister for DEFRA talking about agriculture issues to farmers.... about something that would happen in 3 months times... the NFU have been warning about this exact situation since the vote was announced.... and the minister in question was one of the prime movers in the leave campaign..... and you still want to call it project fear..... un-fucking-believable!
Surprised you can't express yourself without the use of vulgar language. Fucking typical of remoaners though I guess. Lol !

"its all well and good pointing that poll... but it doesnt actually deal with anything in the original post... so you are in essence posting propoganda for no good reason.... so how about actually taking a stab at answering the original post, which you got wrong but will got right... and you didn't get back to it! | |||

"On the basis this you quoting this makes it a credible poll in your opinion .... Faced with no deal versus remain, 45% of the electorate said remain. 35% said no deal. 43% of the tory members thought Mays deal was a bad deal... but any other leader would do no better. Which suggests 46% think this is the best deal brexit on offer. 67% of members who voted leave think Mays deal doesn’t respect the referendum result. Which makes you wonder what they think the result was as we are leaving the EU.... | |||

Either that or there are some seriously masochistic people here who want to feel the pain of Brexit make their dick go hard. Like some religious quack from the 16th century who thought interminable suffering was the cure to all ailment, Brexit cannot be good for the soul unless it is preceded by misery - and the more the better.

this should be an interesting answer.... do you think the speech was aimed at the farmers or Tory’s who don’t want mays deal Fabio ?
Actually I think that’s an interesting question and I would think that the answer is going to be a bit of both, in that it gives farmers a heads up in what they feared and to make preparations, and to put pressure on Tory mps to get behind mays deal... but for someone to just shout project fear blindly at this stage reeks of arrogance/ignorance you choose the word yes I think there will be more of this to come to put pressure on Tory mps to go for mays deal they must think they stand a chance of swaying them it’s going to be close lol
A recent survey of Conservative party members funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) showed majorities against May's deal.....
In a 3 choice referendum tories would vote....
Leave without a deal 57%
Leave with May's deal 23%
Remain in EU 15% (lol)
In a 2 option referendum tories would vote....
Leave with no deal 64%
Leave with May's deal 29%
In a 2 option referendum, Leave with no deal vs Remain in the EU, a majority of tories would vote
Leave with no deal on 76%
Basically Theresa May's deal has gone down like a lead balloon with Conservative party members and it's pretty clear they would rather leave with no deal that support her deal. If Michael Gove is supporting May's deal then he's also out of step and out of touch with a majority of other Conservative party members.
The membership of the Tory Party stands at around 124k. The average age of Tory Party members is 72. No wonder the survey came out with these results
Are you implying that the Tory party membership is completely unrepresentative of the UK population but do represent the most extreme leave voter for whom a referendum was called by the leader of their party because he was worried that they might vote for UKIP?
Surely not?
The survey was a survey of Conservative party members yes, but it's fair to assume roughly the same views would be held by Conservative voters who are not members of the party. In case you forgot the Conservative party got the largest number of votes in the last general election, and so maybe those survey results are reflective and more representative of the wider population. "ESRC also polled the general electorate. I’ve posted an interesting stat here from the very same survey. Given the choice between no deal and remain more people die they want to remain than no deal. No need to make brave extrapolations. | |||

So you’re saying
A = B
Therefore
C must = B
Therefore
C-D must also equal B
I’m glad you’re not in charge of anything important, like counting cans of beans. "Counting beans requires numbers not letters.

"Brexiteers increasingly remind me of old school communists. Anyone trying to implement brexit /communism and creating the inevitable cluster fuck is a traitor or snake who doesn't really believe in the sacred idea. If only we had someone who really believed in the idea was in charge, utopia would be just around the corner. Strangely, such a saviour never arrives. The rhetoric from some on here in relation to any suggestion by anyone no matter how researched the information or how credible the source, is that if it does not praise and worship the great ideology of brexit then its traitorous, they are failures or lackeys or should leave.. Very akin to dictatorship idolising clones in places like North Korea.. You could say exactly tge same about remain." No you can't, at least not on here there has been no one telling Brexiteers most of the above.. There is a fallback position from some, not all obviously who voted leave who when asked questions relevant to us all which does not fit their 'shut up you lost, make Britain great again by positive thinking only' mantra to default to what I referred to and the same can not be said when it's the other way round.. | |||

Everybody thought it would happen from day 1 - they were wrong - all we have seen is a gradual decline - other than the £. As it had never happened before nobody really knew.

"Michael Gove, addressing the Oxford Farming Conference today: "I know that some of the predictions about what might happen without a deal have been dismissed as another episode of Project Fear, a re-run of the lurid claims in the 2016 referendum that a vote to leave would trigger an automatic recession. "At the time, I vigorously rejected those projections and indeed was criticised by some for being too dismissive of expert opinion. Well, no recession came and the economic forecasts turned out to be unfounded. "But while Project Fear proved to be fiction, when we look at what a no-deal Brexit could involve we do need to be clear about the costs and facts. "A no-deal Brexit means we would face overall tariff rates of around 11% on agricultural products. But some sectors would be much more severely affected. "It’s a grim but inescapable fact that in the event of a no-deal Brexit, the effective tariffs on beef and sheep meat would be above 40% - in some cases well above that. "While exchange rates might take some of the strain, the costs imposed by new tariffs would undoubtedly exceed any adjustment in the currency markets. And, of course, if the pound does make exports more competitive, it also feeds inflationary pressures at home. "Tariffs are not the only issue. While the EU have pledged to accelerate the process whereby the UK is recognised as a third country and we can continue to export food to their markets freely, all products of animal origin will have to go through border inspection posts and, at the moment, the EU have said 100% of products will face sanitary and phytosanitary checks. "Much of our trade currently reaches European markets through the narrow straits between Dover and Calais. At the moment there are no border inspection posts at Calais. While we do hope the French take steps to build capacity there, that capacity is unlikely by the end of March to be generous. "The EU have also said that hauliers from the UK can carry export goods to EU markets but they cannot make multiple journeys from EU country to EU country and thus the costs of haulage could rise as well. "The combination of significant tariffs when none exist now, friction and checks at the border when none exist now and requirements to re-route or pay more for transport when current arrangements are frictionless, will all add to costs for producers."" That wasn't all Michael Gove said at the Oxford Farming conference though was it OP. Gove also said there that he thinks Leave would win a 2nd referendum with an even bigger margin than before, and more people would vote for Brexit now than before. He also went onto say that even though he thinks leave would win a 2nd referendum, he still thinks it would be a bad idea to have one, as it would do irreparable damage to our democracy, and would give the SNP and Scottish nationalists a greater argument with more legitimacy for a 2nd indy referendum in Scotland. Wonder why you left that bit out? | |||

You ignore it completely and discuss something else obliquely related in an attempt to change the argument. Always. Is the damage that Gove is predicting from no deal lies? Is he now a traitor? Now that you bring it up though, if he believes that you would win a second referendum by a larger margin, why don't you want one? Why don't you back Farage's position that 48:52 would be unfinished business? You don't care about Scotland anyway. You want England isolated and on its own in the world to prove its "greatness". Not Britain. I wonder why you never answer a direct question? | |||

Especially on a personal level, as by the very fact they’re assuming a leave vote, the majority of the contrybwould be “Brexit positive” and so not wary about the future. But they set this out clearly as an assumption allowing people to adjust. Indeed, if you say, based on 50% of people are brexit positive, the impact will be 50% of that modelled, you get pretty good estimates imo. Eg depressed, but not terrible, growth. | |||
