I am a leaver and want it done asap

I'm a remainer. May I enquire please, what is 'it', and in your answer please include what is your proposal for maintaining the international peace treaty in Northern Ireland which ended a thirty year war, neatly solved 400 years of discord, took ten years to negotiate and was ratified by 71% and 94% referendum majorities on both sides of the border?

I have friends who are working in DEFRA and they need to rewrite and implement all new policies for everything.

I didn’t understand everything but -

Everything that needs to be manufactured needs new policies. To control otherwise anybody could produced anything with no control. At the moment everything is controlled through EU regulations. The UK has none. So these need to be written and passed through parliament.

Boarder controls. Some places need 900 new officers. These need to be hired, but where are they located? There is no available land around the ports anymore to locate them.

What about satellites? The UK doesn’t have any all of them are through the EU.

But these I guess are all practical things. There are a million others which I could not have imagined.

Maybe UK might do better outside of the EU. I don’t know, but what I do know is getting there is going to be very very very very expensive and time consuming.

Mind you one could argue there are now. A lot of new jobs being created to try and enable brexit!

One thing though is that perhaps getting a tier 2 visa for workers outside the EU would be easier! Currently the difficulties have been created by the EU. So perhaps that might be a benefit the brexiters hadn’t expected!

BSi (British Standards Institute) has wholly adopted to accept (and be accepted) ALL European standards, so any product controlled by a standard will be unaffected. ISO's are unchanged (global standards) and national derivatives BS/PAS in the UK, DIN Germany FR France etc. remain just that and acceptable in UK and any other participating country.

Most of what DEFRA are involved with will be standards based so not such a mountain of work as you may have been lead to believe Hoyin.

I was for leaving the EU for 25 years at least and I still am. I fear only that what we will get is a neutering fudge-semi-exit that risks leaving us dead in the water.

For everyone. One of my friends in Dublin was nearing retirement in the Revenue. He has just been head-hunted, at an appropriate salary, for the increased Irish Customs needs. France and Holland are busily recruiting too. Massive costs all round.

Remove red tape, they said. Oh how we laughed.

And ironically most DEFRA vets are Spanish. Apparently British vets like dealing with the more lucrative cats and dogs market, they don't like sticking their arms up cows' backsides.

There will be no one to fulfil these jobs.

return to blue passports and our sovereignty, control over the colonies and ethnic containment of our hallowed shores!?!

I did not vote either way...because it will be a pile of poo no mater.

But the vote was to leave or stay not the terms of any deal.

If it was reversed would we ever be taken seriously again?

If you me 'we' as in the SportsMaseratiForum...then NO, we've never been taken seriously...

Let's face it the government has produced a middle ground that neither Brexit or Remain punters are happy with which was always going to be the case. What happens next will be interesting but who would wish to be PM if May goes? Insert Dad's Army sketch.

I would have said insert the Fawlty Towers Sketch.
