    In 2016 but that’s history now
    How’s the UK been fairing since then?
    And I get knocked for saying the country’s ****ed ... in fact I would go further and say only now are some beginning to realise exactly how far.
    Proud to be European not so an Englishman.

    As much as I love the countryside of the UK the systems are down my friend and there isn’t the culture or drive to return it to what?

    Drill down just as an example say support services for an average council in the UK
    You will find that most services are offshored out Drill down further still you will find European Corporations controlling most.

    It’s a mess throughout most industrial streams you care to investigate have an open mind and look into it.

    The very essence of the UK suddenly taking back anything means we would need to start from zero ... doesn’t mean that can’t happen but the task is mind blowing

    So when I read posts that somehow equate the cherry picked past to some sort of dream for the future it doesn’t compute.

    It takes leaves on the line or a fluffy of snow to stop the UK because it just does combine that with a over developed self obsession culture it’s easy for me to think the way I do.

    Nothing is never the same again it can’t ever be because time is the only currency.

    The UK is completely divided and full of a blame culture on both sides of the Brexit argument therefore the outcome against is something I know inside will not ever get resolved.

    Find your alternative place to enjoy your life I say and happiness will fulfil our lucky lives

    Wouldn’t be the first time in History son x
    Currently common man feeling here is amazement and sadness on what is going on in the UK

    Global corporations even done French giants see it as a massive financial opportunity

    When we are out we will all see and no doubt moan ... still our brilliant new start ups and SME’s full of UK nation pride will conquer all in their paths because it’s British you know.

    Dont you ever read my posts Uber. I told you this weeks ago.

    Yes the greedy Pharmas are stockpiling so they can make a killing.
    But why ...because they can see what will happen on Oct 31st...if Brexit takes place.

    If Brexit doesn't happen then they won't get anything....now let me think and work out how that fact relates to the whole sorry affair

    He's too busy cutting and pasting right wing articles to read any thing which might be factual and non-partisan

    Stan I am sure backed me up sometime back re the big pharmaceutical Brexit strategy... I cut my teeth in design when I used to be a packaging design decades ago still have many mates in the industry.

    They have had a busy time in production getting ready for the surge and demand for the UK market as have the regulatory board who have already moved back to Europe

    One example of how European based manufacturing have seized the marketing opportunity

    The industry trend back when I worked for Teva 20 years ago was to offshore manufacturing to Europe ... it was massive then and frankly irreversible.

    The generic pharmaceutical market is controlled from Europe using EU regulations.

    No idea what standards the UK will use when we take back control like everything else. People simply do not realise some very simple facts.

    Nationalists may dream of days gone by but the reality is we sold out decades ago.

    Generic pharmaceuticals I do know about and certainly the are packaging plants in the UK that pack stock for the UK market but pointless when the supply chains are ruined.

    The stockpiles also are very much product related as the sell by dates differ tremendously due to stability life of the actives in both liquid and solid dose forms.

    Anything with a long shelf life guaranteed it’s stock piled now and therefore availability can be totally controlled by the companies... of course it’s a strong position to be in when demand goes through the roof why? Price and extra tariffs.

    Simply put it’s about getting any item from A2B in time on time.

    That Pratt goes for a No Deal and gets it the world stops for thousands of people as soon as the UK based stock is gone that can only be a few months at most imo. After that it’s party time

    Just one person’s sufferings is enough to stop Brexit or at least have the sense of transition A no dealer will not consider this

    Pharmaceuticals are just the tip of the ice burg imo

    What is wrong with the UK?
    Sky News
    Just saw that the focus was doing the three peaks like that is difficult FFS instead of the politics! I run up my hill outside my front door here that is 1350m up once a week
    Self Obsession of that lady on the box talking fluff still what are they going to talk about tomorrow? No Parliament so expect a Sky special on themselves a inside look at a useless service who claim to be the worlds number one. They pump out nothing but anxiety imo and the sheep lap it up
