    Why are shortages currently being experienced?

    You tell me. It's you that's carried out the extensive research.

    I'm asking if you think brexit will make things better or worse?

    In other words you don't know. Nor does it require extensive research by the way. Just doesn't fit your agenda today.

    Who knows. We haven't left yet.

    If the EU puts peoples lives at risk by stopping meds to the UK we are better off without them.

    It's the no deal Brexiteers that are putting lives at risk. You can't put this on the EU......much as you might like to. The government has warned about the consequences of a no deal Brexit on people's health and No Deal Leavers want to do it anyway. So that is on them. Not the EU. Not on remainers. It's on No Deal Brexiteers.

    Is a worst case set of scenarios that is constantly being updated. Not a factual prediction.

    It is not a worst case scenario. It's a medium case scenario. Things could also be a lot worse.


    Anyways, I wasn't intending to argue with you. It's pointless.


    I was merely sharing the same incredulity of other posters.



    Those needing life saving drugs wanting a no deal Brexit, working class people voting to get rid of working class jobs, working class people voting for what probably will bring them yet more austerity.



    It's madness imho. Makes no sense to me at all. But, yeah, I can see you are all dug in and there is no changing your minds.


    AND. My conscience is clean. I never voted for any of this.

    Hang on a minute punchy. You told me with certainty that current medicine issues have nothing to do with brexit and I'm meant to go off and research it for you?

    In other words you couldn't care less and you just can't admit there might be any any negative consequences to brexit.

    I'm going to stick my neck out and say brexit is going to make the supply of medicines more problematic for people in need of life critical medicines. I'm basing that partly on the fact that the government aren't preparing for an embarrassing surplus of medicines in the event of a no-deal brexit.

    Somebody explain to me why working class people are voting for this b*******s?
    My M-I-L lives near you in Prenton and voted to leave.

    She can't really explain why she did it; but a forty-year daily diet of the bulls**t in the Sun and the Mail and the "news" she regularly trots out from those sources gives you a clue.

    Brexit isn't going to improve the supply of medicines that your life depends upon. You don't need much of a crystal ball to calculate the risk, to supply and therefore your health outcome, is to the downside.

    How long would it take you to die if supply dried up for a time and brexiteers weren't given priority? I suspect you'll be brown bread before Thrug's deluded vision of a boom in UK manufacturing comes to the rescue.

    Here's an idea. Why don't we 'get brexit done' when we can be sure you (as well as people I like) aren't going to be put at unnecessary risk for the sake of a few extra months?
