Project reality, part #12345

The Sun doesn't provide the BBC a front page for their website overview.

Which is fine.

But today, the Sunday Sun ran a piece on a report leaked as to what the UK is having to do to prepare for there being no agreement on future trade.

That The Sun, under Murdoch's ownership was one of Brexit's biggest cheerleaders makes this a most interesting piece. On top of that it was "written" by Harry Cole, once of Guido Fawkes.

It paints a very grim picture indeed: power shortages, fuel shortages, food drops fr the Channel Islands 8,500 trucks in a jam heading for Dover, animal diseases ripping through the countryside, water shortages.

This is the worse case scenario, but it is telling that there is a report that spells it out.

Later, Michael Gove said this was indeed a worse case, but rest assured he was working 24 hours a day to ensure the country was ready.

For Brexiteer readers of the paper, this is confusing; is it more project fear, or project reality?

Gove makes references to the new opportunities Brexit will bring, but failing to spell out, once again, what these might be.

A question:

Would the EU let UK starve in the event of no trade deal being struck?

I have just had a short conversation with someone on Twitter, in which he said he didn't think either the UK Government of the EU was evil, and would stop people dying.

Thing is, the UK Government knows, always has known, what the different flavours of Brexit will cause to the UK and it's economy. If it is that bad, then there is time to change course, to admit how bad it will be, and do agree a future trade deal that is good for UK and the economy.

But I go back to what I said some four years ago, the UK and our people will have to see how bad things will be before they believe, until then many will say its all project fear, and another attempt to frustrate Brexit, even if it has already happened.

I think the country will have to experience real pain, to have the shortages that it will entail, to get the total perspective vortex view of the grand folly of Brexit. Only then, will the calls of betraying Brexit have a chance of being silenced.

If Brexit means Brexit, then it means power cuts, fuel and energy shortages, basic food shortages, Kent jammed with trucks.
