For no deal ? Are we bollocks

Not only that I'm not sure it is physically logically possible to be so

I run a business this nonsense affects

So food retailers are now wanting answers same as myself and a million other small businesses

The trading conditions on Nov the 1 are currently unknown and possibly at this moment unknowable

One scenario is same as today , no change no investment required

The other is vast , logistical planning without knowing any details about others, computer systems changed without knowing any data to fill fields, data change admin costs, equipment costs , additional storage, additional staffing ,

All without fucking knowing anything for which we need to plan

You can plan for the unknown to just about sustain life in an emergency, but damn a lot can go awfully wrong , not least, ransom

That's right for every fuck up a solver will charge a premium,

But there's the point we all work with links in a chain , it matters not how prepared some maybe, we are a joined up web

To make a total guess on what preparations precautions a small business may need to enact within the next month and then spend thousands is not wise business

I have a delivery from Europe Nov the 12th

Please tell MY CUSTOMERS who are , a expecting their delivery on the 15th and b, have paid in full and c, have commitments with their delivery and d, who ARE telling me they are going to cancel as they have sourced more expensive UK landed items

A, will it arrive

B, how much extra they owe me

C, should they cancel and make more inconvenience and cost but be prepared

D, how much money I will lose , and for what benefit

The most sensible thing yet to be said, the country will continue and new ways will be sought and the country will not collapse its all ridiculous nonsense to panic people those responsible should be sacked immediately an atrocious way to behave because they lost the vote. They have had three years to get over it

No, it is not the most sensible thing said. In fact it is quite obviously the complete opposite to the most sensible thing. You want to pretend that we can source everything we need from inside our borders? Go right ahead. The rest of us are living in the real world.

And you know what? Why should we have to source everything locally? "Just buy British wine" the leavers bleat. Yeah? What if I don't want to? What if for some reason I might actually *enjoy* eating and drinking produce from other countries. I mean, leavers thing that we will be able to still export everything elsewhere, so why would it be such a hard thing for them to contemplate that we might enjoy goods and services from abroad ourselves?

I sympathise with the OP... it sucks. And to have the ongoing chain problem adds further issues. I was reading about a company that had shipped a large piece of industrial machinery to somewhere... South Korea I think... which would take a month to arrive by boat... and this was when the last failed attempt at Brexit happened. They were saying they had no idea when the equipment arrived if the customer was then suddenly going to be lumbered with a 40% import duty or not.

But hey ho, Rule Britannia... Blue passports and all that.

It seems the clear point of the OP was missed

I doubt not, that in time a workable prosperous normality will emerge , 10 40 100 1000 unknowable years time

I can adapt better than most thanks for the concerns

However I was referring to the rhetorical nonsensical lie that the UK is ready for a no deal Brexit

And our lovely contribution above is , fuck them let them burn , because regardless of whether my OP importer was me or an analogy, it is the reality many are faced with and have not planned and do not how or what to plan for and some will have planned wrong , imagine , 100 000 k down and a deal is done with no changes

In the last twelve months, my company has more than tripled profits, which I’m sure mr tax man will be happy about. Turn over is at a all time high. We have grown, prospered and adapted to meet the needs of the current circumstances and our customers.

My company is ready for a no deal Brexit, why isn’t yours? If Boris strikes a deal, great. We will change our plans. The fact you can not bothered to prepare your company for a no deal, is none of the governments concern or problem.

Point missed

In your condescending tone you are preaching to millions

It's not individuals it will be a sum of the lowest common denominator, ie the lack of planning by the inept will in itself cause the ripple , and you're quite prepared to suggest many of us are inept,

My financial position is if no concern to you, regardless of my position I would not wish discomfort on others

Just seems mean

And let's remind ourselves of what , beyond my comprehension, you are saying

You should have changed your entire business, stopped selling a non UK eu product , started selling a whole new UK only (not NI though or Scotland) just incase the promised deal based Brexit decided to vanish ?

Pure exasperation

Your such a drama queen life will go on we will survive, but it's narrow minded people that are dragging this out, I voted for independence and hey we did t get it, but I am not one of the losers who insist we have another referendum, I got over it we survived nothing happened.. I voted to leave the EU if the vote went the other way I would have accepted it this was a democratic vote, but however many choose to ignore that fact, I and have become prima Donna's, instead if pla ning, ahead, I putting in proper business decisions on the exiting process, and you only have yourself to blame.. People need to have a bit more resilience and backbone and start being more positive, and stop greeting and blaming everyone else...

In my case, I specifically work with and run operations to do with data in the EU. My entire role is based on the fact that as a UK national I am a part of the EU and that I can access and manage the data held on EU located and ringfenced servers.

So whilst my company as a whole can deal with it (get someone else to do my job). And whilst I can deal with it (do another job). It does highlight that there are certain things that I will no longer be able to do post-Brexit.

The irony being that the Spanish guy who sits opposite me and the Polish guy next to me in my team will still be able to do their job post-Brexit and it is I, the UK national that won't be able to do my role.

Yes.

At. The. Moment.

As I said, they did not know originally when the item had been shipped what the rate of import duty would need to be levvied on it when it arrived. No-one did.

My understanding is the "continuation deals" are conditional on a withdrawal agreement between UK and EU.

No withdrawal agreement and it defaults to WTO.

So, you mean *after* the first extension, and this happening? Cool.

-Matt

They wouldn’t be lumbered with 40% import duty - normal trade at the moment !

Yes.

At. The. Moment.

As I said, they did not know originally when the item had been shipped what the rate of import duty would need to be levvied on it when it arrived. No-one did.

-Matt"

Well if it shipped end of feb and was due to take 30 days then I guess there may have been some worry that as the goods arrived, we leave Eu and South Korea then have to apply an increased import duty .

But as we didn’t leave, the goods wouldn’t have that extra duty applied

So no further concern

Just seems mean

And let's remind ourselves of what , beyond my comprehension, you are saying

You should have changed your entire business, stopped selling a non UK eu product , started selling a whole new UK only (not NI though or Scotland) just incase the promised deal based Brexit decided to vanish ?

Pure exasperation

You do sound exasperated

I’m guessing if you are already prepared for Brexit then there are aspects to your business that are unique and are not covered ?

A lot of talk of how business is to cope but how can individuals prepare ,, I have 2 friends , both on medication , one to keep her out of hospital and the other to keep him alive ,, I collect their tablets from the chemist , if there is a shortage of tablets and they do not get their medicine what do I say to them when I return from the pharmacy empty handed ? ( if your answer is that there will not be a shortage and it is simply project fear I really hope you are correct ,, but ,, the yellow hammer report does suggests some medicines may be in short supply ,)

Without a deal, we revert to WTO rules. A resourceful chap like you should have no trouble in finding out what tarrifs apply to your particular product in such an event.

"Your such a drama queen life will go on we will survive, but it's narrow minded people that are dragging this out, I voted for independence and hey we did t get it, but I am not one of the losers who insist we have another referendum, I got over it we survived nothing happened..

People need to have a bit more resilience and backbone and start being more positive, and stop greeting and blaming everyone else...

What a refreshing and welcome post... thank you Dear....!

The doomers in this forum are incredibly negative and, soon, we'll all see if the ship sinks later in the year, or rides out the INEVITABLE initial rough sea when we do leave the European Union.

After many visits here these past few months and having decided not to engage the hardcore whingers, pessimistic prunes and condecending cretins (whom, by the way, I am quite certain do NOT know who they are...!), myself and friends have been well entertained with some platinum howlers.... and, no, I decline to name any such outporings of tosh and who's ass these 'learned comments' were ejected out of, I or, should that be, 'we' would rather the show carries on to the apocalyptic finale, come November.....!

Christ, what are the poor devils to do, come New Year, on this "highly regarded, in-the-know cutting edge website", where Mr. & Mrs Anon are here, quite rightly, I may add, just seeking a 'little extra' good fun in their lives, I wonder....??!!

I noticed one thread and gleefully, I followed the various comments, groans and vacuous splatters with interest, as the heat was on the rise as was the typical bile as the 20-odd plus post got flowing and, all of a sudden, there was this grand post from some fed-up (lady) member saying, in so many words... "OI..!! get out of the LOUNGE(!) and leave us be, in peace and a Brexit free area, where we just want to chat about chocolate (I think it was!) and who wants to shag who, yer boring sods!!

Excellent...! It WAS moved too, at some point afterwards and the thread is now hung up in here, somewhere, with the other gems and site treasures, hmmmm....!!

You know, that sudden halt I arrived at in the, errr, 'flowing and heated debating' going on in that particular thread, reminded me of Python's classic prequel to (the even greater classic!) picture, "The Meaning Of Life", where the main film (the Lounge) was seen to be 'attacked, unwarranted by the support feature', i.e..., "The Crimson Permanent Assurance" (the thread resited to politics forum), or rather slung outta the Lounge to here, the Bedlam PLC of FabSwingers fora....!!

Just the way my surreal and, I suppose, eccentric, 'sense of humour and stuff related to...' is wired.

Thank Christ, really.!!!

I mean, some folks' postings on here...., unless the 'urine is being happily extrapolat...... oops, I meant EXTRACTED'...'(!?!)...., on a daily basis, really DO have me think there's not a great gap between my own crazzy, oddball thoughts and abstraction(s) and certain similar 'beliefs and viewpoints' plastered here in the politics cubicle by some of Fab's more intelligent AND learned, serious......... people.

What ho......?!

Keep it up though, we're SEROUSLY, like... hooked..!!! XXXX

Central

The conservative governments consistently haven't planned this. Article 50 should not have been submitted until there were complex plans completed. This recent fiasco with Johnson pretending to be working for Merkel's discussed 30 days alternative proposal to be agreed highlights the reverse of his stated probability levels for leaving with no deal or a deal - several billions to 1 he'd have done much to get a deal and probably a cert that he'd have carried on to a no deal departure.

Obviously an appropriately planned exit would have included more adequate agreement conclusion timeframes, supporting organisations, individuals and other states to better implement necessarily resultant changes. Expecting massive non-specific changes affecting thousands of businesses and people at the drop of a hat, because of some serially incompetent political party leaders, is intolerable.

Given he stated he is expecting it to be delivered to him on the 12th of November I think it is fair to assume he means his customer is expecting it the 15th Nov, not October.

I've no idea what the lead time is on this item, but it is fairly understandable that it might take a while to make/source/manufacture and the order have been placed before any of this was clear. And it is still not clear. That is the point.

Bring it on then....give us another vote and let’s see what happens.... I suspect the self righteous clowns will still vote the same and brexit will happen but at least it would be an honest victory not tainted like this one

Correct.

Germany? Surely not. I can’t imagine someone would be stupid enough to highlight a German company when trying to explain how easy it is to prepare for Brexit

It was NOT advisory.

I read the ballot paper before voting . Nowhere did it say advisory nor did any politician beforehand.

We were told clearly many times that a vote to leave meant leaving the single market,customs union and ecj. It was a once only vote,Cameron said so.

I'm sick of this "advisory" lie that is constantly peddled by whinnie remoaners.

"Intelligence.....just so happens my business is doing great and not worried at all ....think adapt hard work risks try some of these ...harder you work the richer you become ...think on ...intelligence it's called

In the last twelve months, my company has more than tripled profits, which I’m sure mr tax man will be happy about. Turn over is at a all time high. We have grown, prospered and adapted to meet the needs of the current circumstances and our customers.

Sensualtouch15

My company is ready for a no deal Brexit, why isn’t yours? If Boris strikes a deal, great. We will change our plans. The fact you can not bothered to prepare your company for a no deal, is none of the governments concern or problem.

Point missed

In your condescending tone you are preaching to millions

It's not individuals it will be a sum of the lowest common denominator, ie the lack of planning by the inept will in itself cause the ripple , and you're quite prepared to suggest many of us are inept,

My financial position is if no concern to you, regardless of my position I would not wish discomfort on others

Just seems mean

And let's remind ourselves of what , beyond my comprehension, you are saying

You should have changed your entire business, stopped selling a non UK eu product , started selling a whole new UK only (not NI though or Scotland) just incase the promised deal based Brexit decided to vanish ?

Pure exasperation

Your such a drama queen life will go on we will survive, but it's narrow minded people that are dragging this out, I voted for independence and hey we did t get it, but I am not one of the losers who insist we have another referendum, I got over it we survived nothing happened.. I voted to leave the EU if the vote went the other way I would have accepted it this was a democratic vote, but however many choose to ignore that fact, I and have become prima Donna's, instead if pla ning, ahead, I putting in proper business decisions on the exiting process, and you only have yourself to blame.. People need to have a bit more resilience and backbone and start being more positive, and stop greeting and blaming everyone else... "

Resiliance and backbone is fine and well , it won’t save diabetics struggling to get insulin on time , delays at Dover delaying cancer drugs that are only available through import , bring back people who will inevitably die due to the above and impending troubles restarting in Ireland , I can see in small amounts why people voted to leave but tbh it was always A “ my vote and how will it affect me “ I know myself and my family will be fine but MILLIONS won’t , and to play directly into the hands of these BASTARDS who will benefit from a 1920s depression are wringing their hands with glee , Initially that fool Cameron brought this in to solve a Tory part argument,so the poor will suffer more than anyone else ? Win win win for the Tories I just pray it dissolves the union and the south east in particular can return to its crusade loving Empirical spirit that it loves to hark back to. Rations and Rickets for all

"For no deal ? Are we bollocks

Not only that I'm not sure it is physically logically possible to be so

I run a business this nonsense affects

So food retailers are now wanting answers same as myself and a million other small businesses

The trading conditions on Nov the 1 are currently unknown and possibly at this moment unknowable

One scenario is same as today , no change no investment required

The other is vast , logistical planning without knowing any details about others, computer systems changed without knowing any data to fill fields, data change admin costs, equipment costs , additional storage, additional staffing ,

All without fucking knowing anything for which we need to plan

You can plan for the unknown to just about sustain life in an emergency, but damn a lot can go awfully wrong , not least, ransom

That's right for every fuck up a solver will charge a premium,

But there's the point we all work with links in a chain , it matters not how prepared some maybe, we are a joined up web

To make a total guess on what preparations precautions a small business may need to enact within the next month and then spend thousands is not wise business

I have a delivery from Europe Nov the 12th

Please tell MY CUSTOMERS who are , a expecting their delivery on the 15th and b, have paid in full and c, have commitments with their delivery and d, who ARE telling me they are going to cancel as they have sourced more expensive UK landed items

A, will it arrive

B, how much extra they owe me

C, should they cancel and make more inconvenience and cost but be prepared

D, how much money I will lose , and for what benefit

Delivery on the 15th of which month?

October? No problem, we'll still be in the EU as leaving date is 31st.

November? Where is the delivery coming from for it to take so long? Little wonder that your customer is considering sourcing it elsewhere, but to answer your question, when Parliament voted to trigger article 50, it dud so on the basis that we leave with ir without a deal.

Without a deal, we revert to WTO rules. A resourceful chap like you should have no trouble in finding out what tarrifs apply to your particular product in such an event.

I would suggest that most UK businessess that trade internationally have already put contingency measures in place to deal with such an outcome

Given he stated he is expecting it to be delivered to him on the 12th of November I think it is fair to assume he means his customer is expecting it the 15th Nov, not October.

I've no idea what the lead time is on this item, but it is fairly understandable that it might take a while to make/source/manufacture and the order have been placed before any of this was clear. And it is still not clear. That is the point.

-Matt"

I think maybe the point is he just wanted to have a good rant about it.

Hope he feels better now

Do you not think the UK is strong enough then?

Question what was so good about joining the EU in the first place if only to prop them up they get more from us than we do from them.

There is a way that those who voted leave could prepare , back your own judgement and help our nation ,,, according to your own yellow hammer report there may be a shortage of medicine , ( put simply this means people who are ill may not get their tablets ) , so you could write / phone / e.mail your doctor advising him/her that if such a shortage does occur you are prepared to allow others to get their tablets first , this would obviously help to release any pressure on the system . And if you don't believe there will be shortages ( and I hope there isn't ) you have nothing to lose , just send off your letter and wait and see

There's many, many more like your good self out there Sharon, the good people. (one of the TWO kinds of people = humans = folks, that is. The direct opposite to the other, the 'not good'. Period!)

Too basic for the poor 'vaccuumites' to get a grip of, (my own descriptive collective noun..!)........

The 'half empty glass' types, to whom the world owes a living plus a box to put it in, etc.,

The 'no can do's', the ones that project THEIR 'no can do' on everyone else and perform a great impersonation of a stuck pig if unheeded..,

Selfish, 'me me me' types, strangers to free thought and allergic to self advancement...'

The greatest exponents of the term 'taking for granted' with a good (self) helping of 'taking advantage of' mixed together and served up on a silver platter as a 'right'.... etc., etc., etc.....

My collective mental image of these poor, downtrodden victims of life in MY homeland is not my own, I have yet again (but the last...!) borrowed it from Python....... Yes folks, watch out! Here comes Mr. Creosote, the epitome of negativity, greed, indifference, disrespect and rightful, indeed, deseved expectation...!

Oh, if only there was a "waffeur thin mint" I could give, gratis.... of course...!!

Bon appetit....? More fittingly..., 'bon vivant' m'seuir...!

It is enough to compare the UK economy before joining the community to how the UK economy began to develop after joining the community. All countries that already belonged to the community had several times stronger economies than the UK.

We can the trouble started when the labour government underestimated how many e europeans were going to come to the uk.If i remember they thought it would be 100,000 and it turned out to be over 2 million.Governments work on long term plans so build schools, hospitals etc on what is calculated for the next 10 years.With controlled immigration this will be possible again and was all that cameron was after and a few tweaks to the benifit system when he went to the eu but they point blank refused and so here we are.

Because we have no idea what the population will be from year to year as we have no say over who comes here from the EU.

Nor can you plan hospital beds or school places.

That is simply wrong.

Central and local government do it all the time, using data and trends to project demographic forecasts for 5,10,15,20 years hence.

The problem is not a lack of data upon which to base long-term investment and infrastructure decisions - it is the five-year policy cycle of Westminster.

Successive governments repeatedly fail to plan beyond the horizon of the next General Election.

That is a failure of domestic governance.

You don’t know much about history do you?

The Dunkirk evacuation was the final act of the most humiliating and preventable events in modern British history. The Government of the day and the Press had been in complete denial for the previous 8 months as to what “war” would actually mean. So much so that the general population were convinced that war would probably not happen because Hitler would be too afraid to take on the might of the BEF and even if he did, he would get a short, sharp shock and a bloody nose and would have learned his lesson.

The eventual routing of the BEF in just a matter of days sent the entire country into a shock that even today still resonates in our collective psyche. What happened had been impossible to happen and not only was the BEF defeated - it was left humiliated and helpless in the face of a ferocious Nazi onslaught. The Press mainly and the Govt to a lesser degree and directed a period of effective National brainwashing that was brutally exposed over 5 days in May 1940. It was only thanks to the Germans, for reasons never fully understood, taking their foot of the gas that the road to Dunkirk was not much, much worse than it actually was - and it was VERY BAD.

Why do people keep quoting ‘the Dunkirk spirit’ when taking about Brexit? It is completely irrelevant and an insult to the fallen?

Because people voted for deprivation, misery, suffering, squalor etc. Didn't they?

More crass "Told ye so told ye so nah nah ne nah nahhhh"

You could not be trusted to hold up your hands in twelve months or so when the initial rumblings after exiting the EU arre settling and ..... no-one has died as a direct cause...... the folks have been fed ...... the fuel still flows...... the army haven't been deployed on the UK streets...... the air is there still ..... night, as usual, follows day ....... no packs of zombies at large and the Good Earth stilll supports our Islands.

It must really take something outta ye to be not only defeatist, insecure, borderline racist and general "We're doomed Cap'n Mainwaring, aye, DOOMED I tell ye.... DOOO-OOOO-OOOOOMED........!!!"

Ya know, I really do want so much to find out you have been merely winding folks up, that the truth is you're not what your opinions suggest, that really would cheer me no end. X

"The UK was built on immigration helped build the houses and we would not have an NHS without them. The EU are far too corrupt and self serving they are not a state in their own right they think it is okay to have their own national anthem. I think great things are possible when we leave and overhaul our own government too x"

OK you've now posted different statements totally unrelated to your original statement but you still haven't been able to explain why we can't do all the things while being in the EU.

Why people state things as fact that they are unable to explain is beyond me

Try rereading what you wrote yourself but fail to be able to answer why you have that view.

Well my....have you boys experienced what those men did? Or are you just trotting out some emotive bullshit to make yourselves sound more British? Oh and in case you want to know my childrens grandfather was a navigator on lancasters in the war, ran his own business trading all over Europe and Scandinavia and he believed being in the EU was better than being out....but most of all he had a great distaste for armchair warriors who had never experienced coming back from an op to find the other half of their hut being cleared of belongings of the missing or dead. Just think about what you say!

Why can't we, what's stopping us

Such a simple easy question of why do you think we can't being in the EU

Baffling beyond belief now

Why should we have to go to the EU on bended knees and ask their permission on how we should live I the UK. They have the final say on everything and that is not right. But this is just my opinion.

It's harder for more hypocrisy. You talk about freedom but you can lose this freedom after Brexit without a deal.

Bended knee? How is the being in the EU preventing you from doing the things you want? I am not trying to be clever I am genuinely interested to know

Depends what is written in your contract . Let’s be honest, if you leave a club you can’t expect to get the same benefits as you had whilst being in it ? Can you?

Yes, but we are paying platinum level fees and only receiving back bronze level benefits

It’s like when I check in with my platinum tier card but the person at the desk next to me with no tier level gets the upgrade to business class

No they (the EU) don't. Not at all. This is a flat lie.
