There's no deal and then there's the real no deal

It seems that the UK Government was forced to withdraw its 70 or so technical notices to households and businesses regarding preparations needed for the no deal deal, in case it scared the electorate and would question what the point of a no deal, or even Brexit was for.

In related news, the headbangers have accused the Government of being overly negative about the effects of no deal Brexit, and is trying to undermine the will of the people.

Irony overload.

I am at a loss now to say where the UK will go from here. What we can say that, as ever, Brexit will happen by operation of international law and the mechanism of the calendar on 29th March. 2019. If UK is ready or not.

A reminder to keep this in mind when reading those "undermining Brexit" headlines from the Mail and Express, only the Government and Brexiteers with their lack of planning and lies have undermine Brexit, no one else could, or has. As many of us have said what a disaster it would be, and day by day are being proved right. Today, Deutsche Bank moves half is passporting offices from London to Frankfurt, and even if Brexit were to be cancelled, those jobs and the taxes that business brings to the UK is gone forever.

If the public are not to be warned on how to prepare for Brexit day, then the shock will be even greater.

As the government expects someone else, other than itself, to do the food stockpiling, the question is, who will do it, where will the food be stored, and who will distribute it? As most food manufacturers now rely on just in time deliveries, and produce chill to cook ready meals, these will not be able to stockpile foods with a short life, and with little chance of what the produce reaching consumers before the meals are life-ex.

Food that can be stockpiled are things like tinned foods, rice and pulses. Frozen food relies on the fact that there will be energy provision and planning for no deal Brexit, expect there to be some disruption. Also in gas supplies for cooking too. So, we might have to light fires in our gardens to be able to brew water for a cuppa.

This will be Brexit reality, and for us in Kent it will be worse, because even if there were to be food supplies within the UK, the same routes for trucks to supply our shops and stores will be using the same roads that trucks heading for the Tunnel and Dover port use.

Still, nine months today it all becomes reality. No avoiding that, in the end.
