Maths Richard North's recent blog warning about the effects of a "Botched Brexit" and the total inadequacy of this govt to the task, is also apposite:

"The media is gradually waking up to the disaster that is about overtake Brexit, although – as yet –
there is no recognition of the scale of what confronts us."
"We depend absolutely on imports for our physical survival – unlike the EU."
"As yet unreported is the drastic lack of capacity in the EU's Border Inspection Post system....
UK food exports, involving any fresh meat, products of animal origin (including cheese and other dairy products) or vegetable product, will effectively cease from Brexit day onwards"
"The real problem is the ro-ro traffic, the 16,000 or so truck per day which rely on roll-on, roll-off ferries"
"On the day [Brexit] as the system slows down, the queues start.
Vehicles late going out become late returning.
But, as the system backs up, the ferries and the trains are unable to discharge their loads.
The queues then start the other side of the Channel and the system grinds to a halt. "
"neither British nor EU ports have the space, never mind the facilities, to park large numbers of lorries.
If no positive deal is secured around the negotiation table, then within hours of Brexit finally taking place huge traffic jams will spill onto motorways on both sides of the Channel."
"Just the technical problems alone require us to work on a war footing, with high-powered working groups and committees in action night and day to devise a solution, chivvied by a prime minister with "action this day" directives.
And that is what is really worrying.
Whatever else Mrs May is, she is no leader.
She shows no signs whatsoever of galvanising the resources of the state and making things happen to an impossible deadline."
"Effectively, already, it is too late to minimise the damage.
We are now bound to take a hit...
For my part – and for many like me – we need to say that this is not what we voted for.
It is not what we wanted.
The Kamikaze Brexiteers may revel in the destruction they are seeking, but the best we can say for them is that they know not what they do.
At its worst, a botched Brexit could rival the Great Depression in its effects on the UK economy"
"Destroying our external trade is as good a way as any to trigger an economic depression.
Our Brexiteers seem determined that we should have one.
Our government seems happy to give them one."
