How would No Deal Brexit affect you personally?

[Puddelchen]

What impact would no deal have on your personal circumstances? What is your personal biggest worry?
In my case it is medication which is my biggest concern.

And you’re happy for us to choose to enter another.

Not just another. One predicted to be worse than the great depression of the 1920s.

It’s okay, we’re the UK, we’ll be great 👍

Reading this thread is deeply depressing. Hesta reminds me of acquaintances elsewhere who are deeply wedded to leaving with no deal. Apparently they knew when they voted "Leave" exactly what it would entail (good for them, I only wish the rest of us had the same powers of prediction) and they remain absolutely resistant to the idea that there might be anything other than a little short term inconvenience.I really do wish I thought they were right . Meanwhile there's not much point in arguing.... Oh, and by the way, with regard to Brexit and NHS staff shortages www.ft.com/content/8ebbadb8-e7ff-11e8-8a85-04b8afea6ea3

hesta you do know that the SNP have been around for decades and nothing to do with Nicola Sturgeon feeling affronted over an English boy FFS

Next you will come out with the pish ‘too wee too poor too stupid’. Ok for England to drag Scotland out a union but god forbid Scotland want out of the UK

At least it's not a war...

For those that say "we are the UK" well, we are indeed, however, by the 70s we had to go cap in hand for an IMF loan bailout, despite an economic boom in the 50s and 60s.

Judging by many comments on here and across the country, no-deal would perhaps be a lesson the UK needs to learn, i hope we will still revoke though.

Personally, unless we went the same way as Argentina, brexit won't make much difference to me as i'm fairly well off but i wasn't always and i don't want to see increases in poverty and unemployment.

BollocksToBrexit I didn’t choose to enter atof the other ones

FFS, Hesta, you do realise that recessions are part of every economy's cycle. Every.one.

JIT issues are not just delay - the whole premise of JIT is to remove waste from the chain - if you need 3 days stock to cope with potential delays then it means you have 3days of material that is not used when you change what you build - that is pure waste - both in terms of storage costs but also unusable material.
Eg if you need 600 micra radiators per day - you would average 1800 radiators in stock - if order volumes change and you need to make another model - you either have to wait 3days, building potentially unsaleable vehicles, or carry the stock as waste. Your build flexibility is destroyed.

When the whole supply chain is JIT then reverting to the old fashioned build means you have huge costs of stock and the retooling of the process to incorporate routing through stores.

So yes if significant delays do arise then build economics mean shutting down production is likely to be the best choice.

StoorieHoose You do know the whole of the U.K. voted in the referendum, and over 1 million Scottish people voted to leave, should their vote not be respected?

Of course I know that Hesta I am not stupid. However the vast majority of people in Scotland voted to stay in the EU even though the UK Governmebt told Scotland the only way they could stay in the EU was to vote No.

62% of voters in Scotland voted to remain - shouldn’t their view be respected?

MissMalice Their vote counted towards the U.K. remain vote, but they were in the minority,

Apparently not if it doesn't fit in with some ignorant people's agenda, MissMalice.

Honestly, the very attitude of some Brexiters is definitely a factor in which, should there be another referendum on Scottish independence, I'll be voting yes this time. Really not interested in being in a union with so many backwards-thinking, narrow-minded, ignorant, petty, xenophobic jingoists who are eternally stuck in the past.

PlumpSyrianHamster What would your Answear be a border, currency, people living and working in the rest of the U.K., EU membership etc ? You don’t want to end up in the same position as are Parliament

Looking forward the threads on here if Scotland did vote yes - can you imagine if it was proposed that the SNP said no deal and walked away without paying its dues like some are advocating on hee

Hesta at least the SNP produced a white paper before the independence referendum unlike the tories with the EU one

StoorieHoose And what was the answer to my questions on that sheet?

Even without a fall in the pound, moving to WTO tariffs will lead to an increase in food prices (higher tariffs = taxes on imports = higher prices). The government assessment gives the example of 'British Retail Consortium told us that, having applied the current WTO tariffs to four typical products in supermarkets, they were able to show that consumer beef and cheese prices could increase by up to 30%, tomatoes by up to 18% and broccoli by up to 10%'. We'll notice that kind of price rises.

For anyone who thinks British food production will fill the gap from imports - it won't immediately it takes time to grow production. Cutting all import tariffs to 0 isn't a solution either - as well as concerns about food safety and impact on UK farmers, it also seriously reduces our leverage in any future trade deal negotiations.....

Who’s being the nippy sweetie now asking about ‘a sheet’? There is this wonderful invention called google. It you cared (which I’m pretty certain you don’t) you can use it to find and read 670 pages

StoorieHoose Sorry don’t get uptight was meant to say paper

Hesta, I don't understand what you're asking .

I’m as against Scottish independence as anyone could possibly be, but if we are taken out of Europe, I would completely agree with any SNP call for another referendum. Would still vote against it, but the whole once in a lifetime stuff will go out the window for me in the event of Brexit.

For the purposes of the thread, I’m not sure how we will be personally affected , Short term I’d be most worried about petrol supplies (unfounded worry?) so DS can get to school (exam year)! I don’t work so no job worries, and am not sure if DH would be at risk- I doubt it unless there is a recession and then he’d be as at risk as anyone.

Maybe no insulin. So dead.

Can’t go on holiday that we booked 18 months ago.

Probably the first should be the bigger concern but my kids are more upset about the second issue! (Don’t think they are aware of the first one to be fair)
