Yellowhammer...Eye watering stuff

[Gadgetmac]

Whitehall has published the risks:

Food shortages
Drug shortages
Huge jams at the ports
Price rises on food, utilities etc
The poorest the hardest hit
Civil unrest

And I’ve barely scratched the surface.

Hardly news! Most remain supporters appeared to know this whilst leavers just put their fingers in their ears and shouted “la,la,la, I’m not listening”.

Do you know how much it cost to mitigate the problems that could have arisen with Y2K? $300 billion dollars.

Nothing bad happened because it was prevented.

Except that in the case of Y2K we spent years preparing for it.

We did have more than 3 weeks to prepare for Y2K. We don’t know what when or how with Brexit.

Not quite comparable...

A masterstroke!
All I'll say is a great deal of opposition time and effort has been spent chasing that, and for nothing.

It’s a stupid comparison that brexiters keep trotting out

The amount of work to mitigate Y2K was immense. Comparisons are laughable but not surprising. This is grim.

[Not-The-Messiah]

You know if you read the worst case scenario in terms of side affects of pretty any prescription drug. No one would take them.

I'm sure the media will be fair and impartial and make it clear the reality of the chances these things actually happened. Well maybe not.

Reasonable assumptions. Many of us were around for Y2k. A large amount of contingency planning and implementation went into making it a non-issue.

But this will go round and round. I really think the only way we'll ever know is to actually leave without a deal and then see for our own eyes.

Gibraltar is in for fun times if ND happens.

Doesn’t it confirm that the Govt knew all of this and didn’t want us to know?
