The Brexit "plan"

So it is becoming clear what the Brexiteers at the heart of Government want to do.

This afternoon, it got BBC employee, Andrew Neil, to make a speech in which he said that it was Johnson's Government's intention that complex supply chains should end.

Those days are over.

Instead, manufacturers should use 3D printing or local suppliers.

Craziest thing I have heard.

Only its not, try this:

The Government wants UK farmers to follow the highest food standards, whilst maintaining their livelihoods, maintaining the countryside, removing them from their largest and most profitable market, while, at the same time, allowing substandard food to be imported from other countries, cheaper that what they could grow it. This would make more thorough rules of origin checks compulsory, thus adding yet more delays and cots for those who were still exporting.

NFU President, Minette Batters, had strong words on this: "She says it'd be "morally-bankrupt, work of the insane" to embrace some of the production used abroad e.g Australia, Brazil, Malaysia."

"This isn't hysteria, this isn't mumbo-jumbo, this is fact"

And that vacancies in the care home sector is because the providers don't pay staff enough. As it cost Nan near to £4,000 a month to stay in care, I am confused as to where the shortage of staff comes from, as there is a lot of money there. Though of course, there are overheads and such like, so should be pay even more for care or accept there will not be enough staff to provide it? The equity in one's house will soon eat up those funds, so it will fall onto local authority to pick up the slack, diverting more money away from services.

Morally-bankrupt, work of the insane describes Brexit and Brexiteers quite well, don't you think?
