First time linking apologies if I didn't do it right!

Disability activists are starting to publicly discuss the impact of brexit on the one in five brits who live with a disability and the conclusion is ......

.........

......we need a second referendum! (sarcastic shock face).

Bump ^ for the night owls ^

Contact your MP if you're the one in five Brits living with a disability or you care about people with disabilities and think no deal will impact negatively on yours or others lives.

@Hazardswan

Contact your MP if you think Brexit is going to impact negatively on yours or others lives full stop. It's going to damage everyone.

Well duhhh??????????????

Bit of difference between loosing your job vs your life though don't cha think?

Plus there's this thing called disability discrimination and ablism which impacts disabled people everyday. But sure let's just get upset cos Brenda and Bobbi need visa's to visit their second home in France and ignore the dangers of brexit on those with disabilities and illnesses.

I think Brexit is going to cost more lives than those of people who are currently disabled.

losing scientific collaboration and cooperation is devastating. it will slow down all types of research and progress, including medicines and environmental protection

The impact on the development of new antibiotics is going to kill people, without a doubt

Throw in American meat standards and the need for new antibiotics increases even further

Brexit will affect everyone, disabled more so as they are less able to fend for themselves, during periods of civil unrest.

@Hazardswan

Don't get me wrong, I totally agree with you, most people will lose out from Brexit but some will lose far more. But we need everyone to pull together on this if we are to put a stop to this insanity.

@SoloD That's deep.

There's a whole topic on here discussing brexit but you came here on a thread about disability to say what? Did you read the article? Have you read the article by James Moore?

Your right we need to pull together, the 4 out of 5 Brits without disability need to stand with disabled people and say no more maddness and endangering lives.

Summary

-real risk to services

-need national planning for stockpiling meds and equipment

• but there's a lack engagement from goverment ministers which is causing greater concern for NHS heads

Is there anyone in your family whose life is dependent on a regular supply of lifesaving medication from the NHS?

Would you be bothered if they died???

If you are not bothered, then continue to support brexit.

we need everyone to pull together on this if we are to put a stop to this insanity.

Not being funny ( I am a remainer) but the chance to pull together and put a stop to this was the initial referendum vote which lots could not even be bothered to take part in & then during the snap election that Teresa May called to back brexit or not. (Lib dems continually promised a second ref during their campaign ) we voted in a government and opposition leader who both back the referendum result so to be fair We have had 2 chances as a country all ready to put a stop to it and we didn't take them

I just hope that the people who voted leave did so not knowing it would harm those with disabilities and illness. I knew it would but that's because I understood our goverment is shite, our structures are weak and that it wasn't the eu's fault.

Hope is all we have right now, keep signing petitions, contacting MP's and shout from the rooftops

You are being funny Focus. The EU referendum was won on lies and a lot of people who had been living in the UK for many years and paying taxes were not allowed to vote. Those who did vote to leave were 17 million out of a population of 65 million.

The subsequent GE was like all our GEs run on the undemocratic FPTP basis and it is utterly absurd to say that everyone who voted Tory or Labour was endorsing brexit. You can add this to the long list of brexit lies.

here's a link to the already published EU technical notices, that some one kindly posted on another thread

obviously food and medicine are likely to be the most immediate concerns, but energy, communications, satnav, air travel, VAT etc etc will all impact hugely on us

for example, VAT bills will need to be paid 3 months early.

This could lead to shortages in virtually everything.....

If you plan to sell £100 of wood, and pay the VAT after you have sold it, and now have to pay the VAT BEFORE you sell it, you are not going to buy £100 of wood to sell, are you.

You are going to spend that £100 on £80 of wood to sell, and the VAT on that.

So basically, a 20% drop in the amount of wood on the market

Thanks for sharing it clare i started a thread after the leak but it got buried and I'm not as eloquent as you
