    There will be no hifi.

    Don't you watch the news?
    A no deal Brexit will bring 40 years of famine, plague, and pestilence, real biblical holocaust style, all that will be left is a Mad Max style wasteland inhabited by nothing but cockroaches.

    It must be true, the BBC said so and they're unbiased
    Lol you beat me to it. And don’t forget the asteroid strikes.

    Yup. I think we should build a wall along the south coast and ask Trump to get the Mexicans to pay for it!

    It's people that were the problem, not stuff. Right to work, that sort of thing. No-one voted for Brexit because they wanted a clampdown on the charging of duty and VAT at Dover.

    The Mexicans are upset about the wall but said they'll get over it.

    That's a very good point, Martin.

    Sounds like it will all be fine then.

    I think the French will be awkward. Why shouldn’t they be?
    I am sure that they will push freight going to the U.K. through at the ports giving the U.K. the problem of letting it go through if they so wish. Freight coming into France is likely to be disrupted with the motorways leading to the ports effectively becoming car parks.

    two could play that game of course, depending if supplies can be sourced elsewhere.. the whole thing just becomes more childish by the day

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    They are not the ones doing a Brexit.
    They love their processes and will be quite happy to work to rule and collect any customs duties from the associated imports if no agreement is struck. Why would you want to deliberately lose money?
