Britain will face shortages of fuel, food and medicine if it leaves the European Union without a transition deal, according to leaked official documents reported by the Sunday Times
The Times said up to 85% of lorries using the main channel crossings “may not be ready” for French customs, meaning disruption at ports would potentially last up to three months before the flow of traffic improves. -
A no-deal Brexit would plunge Britain into a recession that would shrink the economy by 2%, push unemployment above 5% and send house prices tumbling by around 10%, according to the government’s independent forecasting body.
In an assessment of the impact of Britain leaving the EU without a deal at the end of October, the Office for Budget Responsibility said the result would be a year-long downturn that would increase borrowing by £30bn a year.
this is not the fault of any one political party or politician, nor is this a left vs right issue, but rather the entire political system that is broken.

That's a lot of TLDR.
Short version: The common folk voted. Those in charge really like the way they live ... and they're not going to let that change.
Personal quip: How 'bout them guns, ya Aenglish? Pitch forks and torches anyone?
I think the Brexit mess can be best summed up as people who can't accept the decision made by electorate do everything in their power to overturn that Democratically achieved decision , leaving us in a position of political limbo.

I think honestly that its going to be settled this year one way or another.
Either we will walk away with no deal on 31st of October which honestly seems most likely
Or.
Corbyn's plan works and we have a general election and if Labour win we have a second referendum.
I feel like it's honestly going to come down to either of those options.

My bet is Boris takes the last option and attempts to sleep-walk the nation into a no-deal Brexit.
And if he does, shortly soon after, it will break the back of the U.K.
Scotland will be off, Ireland will do the same, good luck to the Welsh is my thinking, end of the day we are all going to needing the stuff, luck that is.

whats England going to do with Trident and her Nukes, as Faslane Naval Base will be out the window, and i don't think they have the facilities in place down south to accommodate the needs of the submarine fleet?
