Right, so when you do an impact assessment you look at the best possible case and see how you could make it better?

Standard impact assessment is to look at the Worst possible case and then identify the Impact if you don't do ONE thing to mitigate it.

From that position, then you set out your actions to ensure that the impact does not happen.

So this document circulates. It has already been partially mitigated and the ONLY way that it will come about is if that bunch of morally bankrupt wasters in parliament manage to get the EU so on edge that when we ask for an extension they say NO. At the same time as we have made Not One single thing in provision to mitigate it.

Probably with Corbyn at the helm because he'll be too busy buying votes to actually do anything sensible.

Do you think we allocated 2bn to a No Deal because we were going to do nothing to mitigate this report? We fought the Falklands war for 1bn, half the contingency fund _then_.

Presenting this report as some magical reason for why we can't possibly leave the EU is disingenuous to the nth degree.

Well done for spectacularly missing the point, again - see thread title for details. The document: P2.6.i & ii sets out the position re medications and no-deal.

The Falklands v Brexit no-deal! What the....?

The Falklands was a war against a physical enemy on a land grab - we had to fight and defend. Brexit is supposed to be about Unicorns, Mermaids, sunny uplands, rainbow dust, sovereignty, no immigrants, border control and the easiest deals ever. It should not be costing a penny... in fact according to you Brexiteers the money should be rolling in.

If you are going to use straw men please try to pick those that are on your side.

Two of my 5 different meds I take every are on that list, losartan (bp) and omeprazole.

I'm all for the pharma industry being home-based, and let's face it there's many other products and industries where we've allowed ourselves to become reliant on foreign imports (such as motor cars), so I do hope we can start to get a bit more self-reliant. OK, raw materials may have to be sourced from overseas, but we could at least restart the processes of manufacturing in this country.

I quite agree with you. Ost.

I am sure that, in the long run, it will be much better for us to manufacture many thing that now come from other countries.

And lets stop relying on too much fruit and vegetables flown in from abroad when we are perfectly capable of growing our own.
