Johnson likes publicity.
Any attention is good attention. Whilst you are talking about how crazy his idea is, the less you come up with your own.
And there it is. The lack of plan to stop no deal. Just a bunch of idiots who argue over who is more right about politics without offering up a practical solution.
Unable to see their own flaws.
And leading us ever closer to the cliff edge and operation Yellowhammer.

It is their bodies - cut up and dissected - that are shown across thousands of pages
The number of medical cure and capitalist goodies we take for granted every day due to what they did to European Jewry, is huge.
That the companieswho have benefited from them are allowed to keep it silent is another banale evil.
All power to the late Simon Wiesenthal.
I know that there are many keeping tally of what is happening now; in order to activate a Simon Wiesenthal 2 on what this lot are doing to Windrush/british/EU citizens.
I watch posters aping fascist arguments with interest, for similar reasons.
Choosing to speak in a non english language in england, is a fun action I've been doing for the last few years.
And of course, the english have been doing for the last 500years

It is an ethical morass. I already knew about it, because a magazine my late DM used to devour ("OMNI") had a section on medical research, and the quanderies facing doctors with data gained from such horrific evil acts. At the time they were trying to understand the human bodies responses to extreme cold to help with reviving people who had been exposed to it as well as putting people into a state of hypothermia to allow brain surgery and the like. There was a wealth of data (meticulously gathered, as you'd expect from Germans 
) that was the result of some quite emetic vivsectional experiments carried out by the Nazis.
Do you use it, to try and save lives ? Or would even the notion of using it risk greasing a slippery slope for future excuses of barbarity ?
With people like Priti Patel striding the world stage, I think the answer is clear. The research, data and anything that could ever be used out of it should have been destroyed. Wait till she introduces her plans to harvest organs of executed criminals for sale (I guess it pays for the rope ?). China would approve.

As details of when Yellowhammer report was drafted emerge, it occurs to me that, since Kwarteng was Brexit minister from November 2018, he would almost certainly be one of the ministers responsible for it. So, he is literally trying to discredit his own work as
Shades of the "Yes Minister" episode where Hacker is forced to take delivery of a petition that he really hyped up in opposition, and as Minister now wants to bury all trace of ...
Bernard (with boxes of thousands of sheets) What should I do Minster, file them or dispose of them ?
Hacker: Bernard - I never want to see them again. Ever ! Do you understand me ? I never want to hear about that petition again !
Bernard: In that case I'll file them Minster.
Nope, still not taking it seriously.
If I ran the BBC, next story about Brexit, I'd have the spokesperson for the government, and a popular comedian of the day.
Well minister, we're taking it as seriously as you appear to be ...

Hannah Arendt's work looks more and more like a script rather than a treatise.
Hooo and Mrslaughan wish I could offer more; is it worth looking on British in Europe forums? I have seen people posting that family members in the EU bringing home meds for those stranded here.

Apileofballyhoo So glad no one hurt, but awful and frightening that our relative GFA peace is being compromised.
Useful thing about the bbc atm, is one can measure the veracity of a story by the prominence it gives to it. Inversely.

Thanks, fluffy
The problem is, the uncertainty /misunderstanding - because the UK govt has decided to change things - has already lost contracts
I've always worked in R&D / Advanced Development, but also had to write technical SOR for some production systems;
It's something I only do a few times per year, but my input into purchasing process is like this:
- I write out the technical SOR, either for the component or system itself
That could be for a prototype for one of my projects, but is sometimes for series production
If it's for a project for the supplier to develop something, then I also include requirements for the project leader, team members, simulation software, computing capability etc
I also include how often we have to hold physical project meetings
- which has always given an advantage to suppliers within 2 hours train / drive
+ There is a pulldown menu for approved suppliers and I have to choose at least 3
I can specify suppliers not in the list, but I have to provide evidence why and it's a pain
Last few times I did this, the (few) UK suppliers were no longer in the list
(My last year before retirement, I've gone pt and this is one of the tasks I no longer do)
+ I forward it to the purchasing dept for action
+ They collect offers from suppliers and then sometimes I have to attend supplier meetings to help them decide
e.g. if what is being offered is of the required standard
+ Purchasing handle all the admin & legal stuff
I occasionally meet the senior purchaser in the canteen
and like everyone here, she asks me about Brexit.She's probably just being very cautious - at least she knows when she doesn't know enough -
and it's not as if the UK suppliers I used to have provide a unique product that noone else can match.
