Personal insults?
Where have I personally insulted anyone?
I was pointing out that it is coming from the Brexiteers not remainers?
Brexiteer isn't an insult just yet.

The point I was trying to make was the German car industry won't allow a hard Brexit. They'll force Merkle into doing a deal. Bavaria is the heart and powerhouse of Germany.

Of course we will still trade with Ireland and the rest of the EU, we are about to make it much more difficult though.
Lots of things we currently take for granted will change for the worse when we leave, hence all the frantic scurrying to ' Align " with the EU for as long as possible once we leave to avoid facing up to the chaos......all this on top of 10 years of austerity which has still left most of us in the shit.

Erm, you mean a trade agreement that will include our friends in the EU, right?

I assume you think a trade deal takes about 5 minutes to create, with absolutely no negotiation and bartering involved. And we aren’t just creating said deals with Ireland - we’d be trying to create them with, and here’s the kicker, everyone. No mean feat that.

The more perishable goods the quicker you'll deal and probably be worse off due to the knowledge of the purchaser

that would seem to be a problem. however its not directly relevant to my point as by its nature it cannot be stockpiled. question i'd ask is how do all the countries outside the EU cope, rather than simply accept an impending crisis.
I dont see your point its a native UK plant if its under threat its under threat wherever its growing much like the banana plant. Its more of a case of finding whats killing it than thinking oh noes where will we import from under Brexit.
Where did you get the idea the UK exports more medicines than it imports? This is completely untrue. My understanding is that the UK imports the vast majority of its medicines as well as medical devices and apparatus etc.

data, cant find it presently though it was $ value. you'd be correct that a majority of medicine and devices are imports, from across the world. at the end of the day we will sell to them, they will sell to us. we are not going to be embargoed, agree?
My understanding is that around 80-90% are imported and around 40-50% are from the EU. Parallel importing could also be an issue from non-EU counties. In short a vast amount of medicines, devices and supples will be affected.

If you go out No Deal, you don't have any trade agreements and need to negotiate them again. EU members can't negotiate deals on their own.
So yes, there would be a period - however brief or long it may be - where you would only have WTO rules trade with Ireland.
UK wholesalers are likely to lose some business lines they have permanently as the downstream businesses move to using French or other EU suppliers.
Here we are following, voluntarily, a policy which might end up with food rationing and medicine rationing, and which will at least, according to the vast majority of "experts", do us harm economically and otherwise. What madness!. And all because of an unwarranted fear of immigration and a mistaken view of sovereignty. It must be the most ridiculous decision ever and unfortunately will harm not only us but the othermembers of the EU. No wonder they are angry and unyielding

interesting to raise parallel imports as it makes the official numbers a mess.

probably China.
The known imports from the EU are as I stated above, adding on parallel imports probably takes the figure impacted above 50%. I agree it’s a mess, an unnecessary mess.
