REFERENDUM RESULTS AND DISCUSSION THREAD

It's not a case of not wanting to. It's that we don't have the infrastructure to deal with importing anything (including medicine) if we blow everything up overnight, ie no deal.

There are already shortages of certain items, Tredman has posted about his wife struggling to get her normal prescription.
 
For what it's worth, my dad has been down to get three different tablets over the last month which he's been told they have run out of, but I'm sure it will be Brexit's fault.
 
We have struggled for bloody ages to get medication for J9. Just bugger all available. It took weeks.
 
The reason being certain pharmacies are shitting about the consequences and are already beginning to stockpile medication to ensure their clientele can still get the drugs they need, meaning there is insufficient supply elsewhere

Amazing how these concerns disappear when you offer someone a Government post, even though nothing has changed.

It has already been pretty categorically stated that medication shortfall is an EXTREMELY likely consequence of no-deal Brexit. It isn't about those exporting, necessarily, it is about import duties making it less likely for them to do so profitably into the UK.

Doesn't 'the purchaser' (eg. the NHS?) pay the import duty, rather than the exporter?

Of course the government could say we are not charging tariffs on medicines and they will not need custom's clearance.
 
And when everything (including medicine) is stuck at ports or on our gridlocked roads because we don't have a fraction of the infrastructure required to import stuff as we currently do?

Are we having another Berlin Airlift just for medicine?

It's not a question of levying tariffs. It's that everything becomes a shitshow very quickly.

The supposed gridlock is down to tariffs and additional paperwork because of the paperwork.

I’m sure there can be two exit lanes off the ferry, one for extra paperwork and one not.
 
We'll also need a special medicine lane on every single motorway then.

Should be doable in about 11 weeks.
 
Because even if they get off the ferry quicker (under a system that brazenly wouldn't work), they're going to sit in the same queue as everyone else once we're a couple of days in.

I might drop lucky and sit right near the exit door of a plane so I get off first. I've still got to wait for the crappy transit bus and hang around for my luggage to turn up like everyone else.
 
What is this fake queue you are on about?

The roads after the ferries will be no different to today. We aren’t all of a sudden put loads of extra trucks on the road.
