Thread Name: BS: What to stockpile for Brexit and when
Subject: RE: BS: What to stockpile for Brexit and when
The UK has agreed in full with over 95% of EU laws and regulations, abstaining on a small minority and been outvoted on very few. The vast bulk of domestic law has got nothing to do with the EU, as in every other member state. About one percent of our GDP is involved in the EU (for those leavers who love to puff out their chests and start proclaiming things out of all proportion). The passport issue may well involve passports close to expiry, not an issue at present (as I know myself, as I'm going on holiday fairly soon with an almost-expired passport). We'll see what the papers say that are shortly to be published. The driving licences issue is a fairly urgent one, a bloody good reason not to have no deal (better still, no brexit). We're not talking about Fred Bloggs taking his missus to Spain in the Honda Jazz here. We're talking about tens of thousands of HGVs crossing borders, or not able to cross them.

"This is simply repeating or making up complete idiocy."

Well that'll be from Tory ministers today, not me. Do listen.
