How exactly are lives going to be ruined?
Via additional strain on an already failing NHS
*Almost 10,000 EU health workers have quit NHS since Brexit vote
*This year it emerged that 40,000 nursing posts were now vacant in the NHS in England as the service heads for the worst recruitment crisis in its history
Access to medication will be restricted
*No-Deal Brexit at would mean the importation of drugs is halted overnight. An unthinkable scenario for patients with serious medical conditions in the midst of treatment plans.
*EG. we make no insulin in the UK. We import every drop of it. You can’t transport insulin around ordinarily because it must be temperature-controlled. And there are 3.5 million people with diabetes, some of whom rely on insulin
Education will suffer
*Universities UK, the organisation representing British universities, said the figures showed British researchers had lost out on €136m since February last year, assuming funding had been maintained at previous levels.
The economy will suffer
*A FTA option will add £55bn ($75bn) to annual public borrowing in 15 years’ time
oh and for those arguing that a Free Trade Agreement with the US and China will make up for it
*analysis also finds that offsetting gains from putative trade deals with third countries are relatively small. It concludes that an FTA with America would increase GDP by 0.2%. Free-trade deals with China, India, other Asian countries and Australia and New Zealand add only a little more. The model also finds that unilateral British trade liberalisation, a policy favoured by many Brexiteers, may mitigate losses under the WTO option by only 0.2% of GDP.
*The annual extra cost to British exporters is put at £27bn, or 1.5% of gross value-added
And this is just a TINY part of it.
Most of these things have already started, so it's not fear mongering, it's reality.
I genuinely want a leave voter to come here and give detailed, fact backed points as to why we'd be better off. Please please do
