So you think we're going to have food & medicine shortages, and rioting, - but we can't address it because you don't know where any new staff or funding will come from to create extra checkpoints?

I hope to fuck I never end up on your team on one of those problem solving courses.

Red, the prophets of doom infest this site. I cannot to believe the bullshit they come out with. The idiot Canny on about shortages which is rubbish. A couple of others with some outlandish doom crap. Merkel is going frantic about the amount of german workers whO will lose their jobs if the fuckwits at the EU will not talk. If people like Canny and other Labourite twits love the EU that much. Why do they not fuck off an live there. I cannot believe they want to be ruled by unelected nut cases who want their own armed forces, they want to strut around saluting that flicking flag. Jeeze what the fuck are these lauberites and Limp Dumbs thinking. I never realised there such a bunch of dumb sicko,s like them out there.

If Tuesday's delivery is now arriving on Wednesday, doesn't that mean we get Monday's delivery on Tuesday instead? And it won't be long before that is seen as Tuesday's delivery, rather than Monday's delivery arriving late. If we' re ordering the same amount of stuff, how are we going to have shortages due to 'delays'?

As mentioned further up, perishable goods will get priority anyway. I don't think we're going have lorries full of rotting produce, and empty supermarket shelves, like some of you seem to think we are.

Do you actually believe that the £3,000,000,000+ that the government is chucking at all sorts of 'no-deal Brexit' remedies was expected 3 years ago, never mind ever being mentioned as remotely possible by the Leave leadership ?

Do you actually trust that they are spending this money wisely ? And if so, may I refer you to the huge sums already wasted by hiring ferries from a company that had no ferries ?

Do you really believe that we will have the literally thousands of trained staff in place to deal with the new customs requirements ? And I mean properly trained, not G4S monkeys filling in.

Yes, there will be shortages. Yes, there will be protests. And yes, there will be a general election at which the owners of this collective madness will pay.

This from Wiki - not much, but slightly more reliable than Herr Sunshine:

On 25 September 1953, the Consultative Assembly of the Council of Europe recommended that a blue flag with fifteen gold stars be adopted as an emblem for the organisation, the number fifteen reflecting the number of states of the Council of Europe. West Germany objected to the fifteen-star design, as one of the members was Saar Protectorate, and to have its own star would imply sovereignty for the region.

That's interesting - the Wiki page I saw said that the flag was designed in 1955, and officially launched later that year by the Council of Europe as a symbol for the whole of Europe. No mention of previous, vetoed designs.

Thanks for that.

Indeed.

Nothing whatsoever to do with the 12 tribes of Israel, and that's from the man who designed it, Arsene Heitz.

He told Lourdes magazine that his inspiration had been the reference in the Book of Revelation, the New Testament's final section, to "a woman clothed with the sun...and a crown of twelve stars on her head" - this was thought to be influenced by his deep Catholic conviction.

Mind, there are some cracking myths about it - I know someone who would be wetting themselves at the amount of C+P available...

We've had over 3 years of absolute fucking drivel from the liberal/lefty shower on here. People petrified of change and no respect for democracy. They have no dignity.

"It's not fair - let's start a petition"

"It's not fair, we want another referendum"

"It's not fair, we want a people's vote"

Now we're in the home stretch, the latest whinging is about 'delays', 'shortages' and 'rioting'. But suggest something to counteract that, ie the government hiring more staff and setting up extra checkpoints to help ease congestion, and this lot on here are completely stumped by it "Huh more staff - where will these people come from? Who will fund it? They will need to be trained"

To normal folk, the process is simply called 'hiring people' , yet it seems beyond the comprehension of some on here, who would rather wallow in a collective self-pity than look for solutions.
