Agree. This Week is certainly eccentric, but has such a wonderfully diverse set of opinions on each episode. One of the few BBC programmes that does it well.

I'm not sure Bobby Gillespie thinks that though ;)

Failing to deliver our exit or revoking A50 will decimate the Tory party, the strength of feeling is reflected in the willingness of the Tory vote to switch their vote to the likes of the Brexit Party.
I think BJ will deliver on the 31st and it could be "hard".
 
That was my point. Tough words are easy and what some want to hear. Meaningful action is required and it's difficult to see how a no deal Brexit would work given the apparent lack of planning and the obvious complete uncertainty over how Brexit would actually affect us.

Especially with this information:

 
And how will Boris or Hunt for that matter deliver no deal?

If (small word...big meaning!) it comes to the 31st Oct deadline with no political deal then business will take over.
EU businesses will not want to stop sending their products here, and vice versa. Especially items with a short shelf life or JIT products.
We aren`t going to "sit on our hands" and watch the shelves go bare, there will be some disruption without a doubt, but much like when we joined the EEC there wasn`t an overnight flood of "stuff & people" so there won`t be a drought either when we leave!
Business will fix it and whatever rule book exists will need to be adjusted to suit.
Remainers conveniently forget that when Britain voted in 1975 to remain a member of the EEC — shortly after joining in 1973 — the referendum was based on the lie that membership had no political implications....................... and look how that has panned out.

A "hard Brexit" on the 31st October won`t kill anyone. (y)

Actually with short life, time sensitive medications it could kill some people. There was a report on it on a BBC news programme.
 
And I'm not sure how 'business' will take over. It's the UK that have cocked this up, not the EU. All of their laws, tariffs etc are unaltered and they will uphold them. They are not going to let UK businesses just import and export stuff willy-nilly. I'm sure they will be happy to let us buy stuff from them (but it will be more expensive in at least some cases) and will be happy to buy stuff from us (as long as it goes through customs and is subject to their import rules/regs and fees). EU businesses are not going to ignore EU rules to smuggle stuff over to us because the UK government can't manage a P**s up in a brewery.

It could not as well!

Amazingly the NHS has done a lot of planning behind the scenes.

Despite the doom & gloom planes will not fall from the sky, things will not "stop" just because a date has changed.

Like the French uphold all EU laws/tariffs etc? Or will both sides just be pragmatic and pick and choose what applies & when?

It is the uncertainty that is damaging, we should have had it written into law that we leave the day after the result............. might have focused some minds and got some remainers out of bed. ? :ROFLMAO:

The meds were very specialised, coming from Holland iirc. By time sensitive, it was a couple of hours from the factory to being taken which is already tight and being held up in customs would make the medication useless therefore risking the small number of patients' lives.
 
It maybe possible that the hardline Brexiteers and hardline Remainers that dominate these discussions are actually themselves in the minority. And the actual majority of the country just want a conclusion to this mess either way. If this theory is ture then a second Referendum wouldn't actually be a problem.

Unfortunately it's very difficult to gauge if this is the case or not because they aren't the type of people that ring up Phone In's or continually make the voice known on social media
