As a British EU negotiator, I can tell you that Brexit is going to be far worse than anyone could have guessed | The Independent
Err pretty much everyone outside the UK it seems...
Yep, well those outside the UK and of course the experts in the UK, who were ignored by the masses.
Tick tock... any bets on that the UK does not have enough time to do that?
Total chaos in the UK government on Brexit, and in the mean time Liam Fox is starting to lay the ground for a UK - US trade deal, which is described as TTIP on steroids... but at least the UK wont be accepting chlorine chickens from the US..
If you thought chlorine-washed chicken was scary, wait until you see what else Liam Fox has planned for a UK-US trade deal | The Independent

[FONT="]Who knew a fortnight ago that leaving the apparently obscure Euratom Treaty would jeopardise not only the UK nuclear industry, but also the [/FONT]supply of medical isotopes[FONT="] for cancer treatment?[/FONT]

[FONT="]Was everyone already aware that UK airlines like easyJet would need to set up in the EU27 and Ryanair might [/FONT]move its planes to EU27[FONT="] countries due to the UK leaving the Open Skies Agreement?[/FONT]
Yep, well those outside the UK and of course the experts in the UK, who were ignored by the masses.
[FONT="]For example, while we are becoming aware of the impact of leaving the Open Skies Agreement on the aviation market, few have spotted Brexit’s impact on aviation safety.[/FONT]
[FONT="]The UK does not have its own capacity to do things like certify maintenance facilities if it leaves the European Aviation Safety Agency. Yes, you heard that right. The UK won’t be able to certify the people that fix the planes. As with so many of these issues, the UK will either have to negotiate to remain in the agency (which is within the dreaded European Court of Justice’s jurisdiction), or establish its own capacity to replace what it does from a standing start in only 20 months.
