You consistently, completely failed to engage with the consequences of No Deal on food and medical supplies.
I fully engaged in our discussion regarding medicines/medical supplies - it was you who dropped out yesterday - declaring that you had already disengaged; the thread had already moved on from food.
You responded to the Government's contingency plans (for medicines and medical supplies in the event of a 'no-deal') with a smiley face - how is that engaging? Further - you addressed my points with a silly rhyme and insults.
“The surge [in concessions] may be due to a combination of factors including Brexit planning and contingency."
I do note the use of the word may here - neat little trick of blaming Brexit without actually proving it.
Other countries are irrelevant
You are now taking the word of one charity, dependent on public funding, as proof.Who are not, of course in the position of prescribing or supplying medicine themselves.
Yesterday, I quoted the former Liberal Democrat MP, Sandra Gidley - a pharmacist and chairwoman of the English Pharmacy Board at the Royal Pharmaceutical Society;
"Unfortunately what's been happening on social media over Christmas is that people have been…assuming this is because of Brexit.There are global issues at play here."
And the Department of Health and Social Care;
"We have not seen any evidence of current medicine supply issues linked to EU exit preparations."
Regarding refrigerated storage for medicine stockpiles - it has been widely reported in the media that the Government has spent a considerable sum of money contracting refrigerated storage for medicines.They have also set up a logistics hub in Belgium.
In fact if you read all of Dukes’ letter you can see the deep concern about the impact of No Deal Brexit-in terms of disruption and shortage of medical supplies-not only on patients but on pharmacies.
Indeed - but most of your references appear to pre-date the announcement of the Government's contingency plans.Do you disbelieve the Government because they are Conservatives - or would you disbelieve any government?
You even making xenophobic comments about one individual.
That is not correct and you know it - I pointed towards possible bias. I would point out that he is the same individual who retweeted a reference to "village louts in Hull".
With regards to food shortages in the event of a 'no-deal' - that is largely an unknown. Many of our ports have now declared that they are ready for 'no-deal', the Port of Dover have declared themselves ready (a number of shipments have been diverted away from Dover in any case), contingency plans have been drawn up to organize the stacking of lorries, temporary tariffs have been introduced, extra customs officials have been hired and there is talk of waving lorries through.
This afternoon, Andrea Leadsom announced that the civil service had finished issuing all the statutory instruments needed for a possible 'no-deal' and the EU Commission declared themselves ready for this earlier in the week.
My detailed response on U.K. capacity - you completely ignored because you had no answer.
I ignored you because the thread had moved on and then you declared that you were no longer engaging - you added further insults.
I will have to be fairly brief here because I am going out again - but a quick google reveals that your stats (from last summer?) are likely to be out of date.

Like you 
- I am hoping for a managed deal - but a considerable amount of work has gone into contingency planning - Remainers are scaremongering.
