Operation Yellowhammer. Brexit and it's likely effects.

Not had a chance to go through it all myself. No doubt everyone will have a different slant on what this all means for the UK.

Anyway, Operation Yellowhammer: Read it and weep.

Yeah so this is what the government has been covering up because they don't want the public to know just how bad a no-deal will be.

Interesting that they chose to refuse to release the communications despite parliament voting to compel them to do this.

Honestly this is just #ing awful, how anyone can support this government is beyond me.

I hope that members not from the UK read this and realise this is what people have been getting so pissed about.

If they had this on the side of a bus the result would have been overwhelming to remain.

What is under paragraph 15 that they would black out?

That's worst case? Not to bad looking from my point of view.

I wonder if it’s something to do with national security

it's not the worst case scenario read it

"reasonable worst case planning assumptions"

Well, the body of the document does match the title.

"Reasonable Worst Case Planning Assumptions"

It's all speculation that assumes that the EU and its member states will go out of their way to put the screws to Britain if it leaves the EU. It seems to me that the fundamental assumption is that EU member states already hate Britain and are just looking for a excuse to put the boots to them.

Is that really how European nations feel about Britain? Does Britain really have no true allies on the continent? Is no nation in Europe thinking, "What if that were us? Is that how we would want to be treated?"

Oil refineries, seemingly.

U.K. petrol/diesel exports to the EU will be hit by tariffs. Fuel exports will become uncompetitive. Oil refineries will close. Refinery staff will strike. Major shortages of fuel oil, petrol and diesel in the U.K.

Which part is EU nations screwing us?

The other 27 EU countries have a duty to look after their own people and country first and foremost. The UK will be at the bottom of any list for foods, Medicine, Information flow, etc.

I don't think the French will be trying too hard either to stop illegals from leaving France and entering the UK.

Our Border checkpoints are about to be hit hard to the point of total collapse. Great time to become a smuggler. Guns, Drugs, Humans.

Worst case.


Why are so many people foaming at the mouth for Britain to fall? Even British people. The left are salivating over this, it's like a wet dream.

Britain will be fine, prosperous even. They're terrified of a prosperous Britain outside of the EU because leftists are global-headed idiots who think that more people = more equals.

Seriously ATS, Britain will be fine. We'll trade with you guys in the US, why not!

Come on you little Englanders, where's your spines.

Exporting gas and diesel, should work out to there being a surplus, and prices go down. Or that's how it should work. If everyone was truly for an independent country.

How can you blame Europe for this?
The UK government wrote this not the EU.

Yeah, That's what we're scared of most. Trump has already stated he wants it all. The UK is ripe for picking and our bones are about to be picked clean.

NHS, £140 a pop for saline solution. It's coming and we all, well some of us foresaw it. others are in total denial.

You mean like every country in existence ever.

All your assumptions are based on the EU being an absolute monster to the UK when we leave.
It's almost as if you know they'll act like the authoritarian asshats they are and deliberately make an example of us when we leave.

If the EU is as altruistic as you remainers make out, we have nothing to worry about. You really are just scared of everything.

If the EU does try to make an example of us the rest of Europe will see what a monster they have created. The EU will end anyway, especially if member states feel like they're being held to ransom. Leave is a win win.

Added to your NHS part. No. Just no.
Not ONE party in the UK would go for the NHS as they know that they would never, ever be voted in again. Also, we've already been promised that the NHS is completely off the table.

Socialised medicine will work only for so long regardless, the signs of collapse are already all over the NHS, a better system needs to be implemented anyways.

Now I'm just a small town girl, living in a lonely world, who took the midnight train going any. . . where.

But. . . .


I remember waaaay back in the distant year of 2016. Good times they were. Gas just cost a nickel and you could feed a family of four for just 500.00 dollars a week.


But waaay back then, it seems that some "experts" also claimed that if Trump became president, the stock market would crash, people would die, crayons would only be in black and white and sand eels would devour the planet.


So I see this as just a scare tactic.


But if you'd like to panic, please. . .by all means. . . .
