The Yellowhammer leak has certainly put the cat amongst the pigeons but I

Pause here to reprise the Yellowhammer analysis: ports chaos for three
months and then only restored to 50% of their function; diabetics and
children with cancer not guaranteed their drugs; no chemicals to treat the
water supply; fresh food shortages; food riots; sterling plunging and banks
disrupted; two refineries to possibly close, accompanied by strikes and
fuel shortages; civil unrest around Ireland’s border before long;
Gibraltar’s 15,000 workers delayed for hours daily at the border; embassies
besieged by expat visa and passport worries; clashes at sea with our 12
vessels unable to police UK waters; care homes closing within months – and
a lot more. Add to that the outrages which will be caused by Priti Patel’s
hostile Home Office closing the border to Europeans on the stroke of
midnight on 31 October: expect children separated from parents; doctors and
nurses barred from returning to work; mayhem and scandal across Europe at
our brutal behaviour

Sunlit uplands, then, Brian?


You just keep trying to reassure yourself Steve, you seem to need it.


I’m just very concerned about children with cancer running out of medicine,
Brian. I would expect most decent people to be so, tbh. It’s “interesting”
that you don’t seem to care one way or the other. HTH, OM.

the only disruption that will occur is any generated by parties
who have bad will
