There are medical experts who say that’s bollocks.

But of course you brexshiteers have no time for experts do you?

Of course I do, but how did the experts you mention vote in the referendum? Look at that twat who's just left as Speaker. Total remainer and boy did he make it clear in his attitude and actions. I just don't believe in what anybody says at face value when they could clearly be totally biased by their own political views.

Did he mention where our drugs currently come from? Did he mention in what quantities we buy from each affected country. Did he mention other suppliers across the world who would love to become a big supplier of ours. No he probably didn't. But make no mistake his unsubstantiated expert comment will have caused genuine concern amongst some people and understandably so. We don't want those people making important decisions like Brexit on the basis of biased bollocks.

And why would you call me a Brexshiteer? I'm 60 years old, not 10 ffs
 
After watching the proceedings at the Supreme Court I’ve changed my mind and think they will decide against the government for two reasons. 1) the lack of a witness statement from the government, that was pretty damaging and 2) the judges questioned a lot about what would stop a government proroguing for a year and thus just becoming a dictator. Judges seemed to be quite interested in point 2.

I think you're taking me too seriously.

All I'm saying is that nobody knows the truth about how this turns out, but as a leaver (did you guess) I'm sick of hearing mainly one side of the argument. You are perfectly entitled to your views, they are just as valid or crap as mine. I just don't go for the apocalypse end game.

Time sorts most thing out, we all got over two bastard World Wars, didn't we.

Where has it been clearly demonstrated that we'll run out of drugs? I dealt with all of the major pharmas during my working life and although I've retired, I still keep in touch with some people and they aren't giving me any worrying news. There are major pharmas in the EU and they may have a miracle drug to cure a child in UK (or visa versa) but the Head of Astra Zeneca (a brilliant company) isn't going to stop the supply just because some administrators need to sign a piece of paper. People in both countries would lead an outcry and the job would get done there and then. As far as the normal day to day drugs go, most will probably be out of patent and so are now being mass produced in India, China and other parts of the far East. These countries were miles behind in drug production a few years ago but be in no doubt, they are right up there with the best now.

Finally, I didn't like the tone at the end of your post. We may be on opposite sides of the fence but I don't think I've ever been racist about my viewpoint.

Have fun

You too mate. And btw, you were incorrect, I didn't take you seriously at all.

I don’t really understand the point you are making regarding Ireland and where Boris is steering it.

it was a bit of an aside, and it could be a get-out for this 'backstop issue' - because no-one wants a hard border.

Just a quick google: Christianity is the main religion in Northern Ireland. The 2011 UK census showed 40.8% Roman Catholic.

Catholic majority possible in NI by 2021.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-43823506

If NI is approaching a Catholic majority, then there could soon be a definitive push for a united and independent Ireland - i'm not really sure where that leaves the people who consider themselves as British in NI. but, if there is a united and independent Ireland, then that solves the backstop issue. on the face of it.

As far as i am aware the Good Friday agreement states that British and Irish Gvt's have a duty to work together and secure any referendum on independence.

It solves one 'problem' but oc it creates another.

Whatever the outcome, if hopefully Bozo isn't Hitler yet & Parliament does actually get to sit again without us becoming a dictatorship they need to take action to make sure a future extreme Government on either side, can't hijack the country, like they do.

I think he’s making the sensible point that tariffs would increase by 10-40% on trading on WTO terms rather than as part of the EU

Tarriffs would be set as part of any agreement between X and Y, surely?

for instance, we could offer (say) Japanese car manufacturers (insert any industry that employs lots of people) that if they employ 3000 people then we offer them a rebate on the taxes they pay for those employees, 10,000 people (for instance) and the gvt subsidies income tax / national insurance contributions etc and give further (0%) incentives on export duties.

We could realistically rebuild the British shipping industry, the steel / boat yards etc by allowing foreign companies to create jobs en-masse by offering them better deals than they may have in place now.
