Brexit, but you refuse to understand, don't you? it has nothing to offer to your advantage
I'm not refusing to understand anything.
I simply hold a difference of opinion to you.
Local refineries for local people...
OIL giant Valero has expressed major concerns about plans for petrol tariffs in the event of a No Deal Brexit, following publication of leaked documents that suggested two oil refineries could be forced to close.
Valero Pembroke Refinery General Manager Ed Tomp spoke out after The Sunday Times published details of Operation Yellowhammer.
The documents warn that Britain will be hit with a three-month "meltdown" at its ports, a hard Irish border and shortages of food and medicine if it leaves without a deal.
It also states that Government plans to set petrol import tariffs at 0% could seriously damage the oil industry in the UK.
While fuel imports would not be subject to tariffs, exports would be, removing the level playing field.
Operation Yellowhammer stated: "This leads to big financial losses and the closure of two refineries (which are converted to import terminals) with about 2,000 direct job losses."
The Valero refinery employs around 500 people plus hundreds of contractors.
Mr Tomp said: “Over the last 12 months we have made preparations to ensure that Valero Pembroke Refinery continues to operate safely and reliably regardless of whether the UK leaves the European Union on October 31.
“However we are concerned that 0% import tariffs on petrol could create an unfair advantage for importers, resulting in a negative impact on all UK refineries.

Which you can't explain.. how can someone who says he "hates the Torys" put his future in their hands?
It makes no sense.

It an intentional slur and you know it, designed to keep the gullible among the leavers in line.
Seems to be working too!

Government dismisses calls for no-deal Brexit assessments to be released in full immediately
Corbyn says claims that leaked dossier warning of no-deal chaos is outdated ‘can’t be trusted’
Boris Johnson has dismissed calls to immediately release official assessments on the impact of a no-deal Brexit after labelling potential food and medicine shortages as just “bumps in the road”.
Old and outdated is it?
"The government was embroiled in a separate row yesterday over when the leaked documents were written. Though Michael Gove, who is in charge of no-deal preparations, said the dossier was an “old document”, it was reported that the assessments were sent to devolved governments as recently as this month. "
Long time in Brexitland, less than 20 days !

This Brexiteer knows what is important , a sense of duty
I can't agree to parliament being recalled I've got a Holiday booked
Tory Brexiteer MP Andrew Bridgen has said that MPs do not need to be recalled because the government has things under control, and he has a holiday planned for the last two weeks of recess.

Just how should I (and partner) prepare?
So far as I am aware, there is no reasonable official guidance as to what we should do. Sounds like imploring us to stock up on everything, especially vital things like medicines. We have been told repeatedly that it will have little impact so what does the government expect us to do?
What an utterly self-centred pillock. If he were my MP, I'd be thinking about a recall petition because he is unwilling to do what he was elected to do - perform the duties of an MP.
Gerald is tilting....
He is going to be a mess come Brexit day. If he makes it that far.
