It said that the UK would be hit economically.

Watched the video, most people commenting said its a nice place, or along those lines. I agree that through Brexit Britain can again be a major influence in the world, and a place decent people want to be.

When was this ? No lorries stacked for a while, and it's only usually due to industrial action (in France) bad weather, immigrants (in France) or accidents/fires in the tunnel.
The decision was made two years ago. It will be implemented in March next year. Haven't you heard?
Another dyslexic who either can't read the or understand the news. No one is making this stuff up on a whim. NHS, ports, lorry companies are all preparing. If I'd said unicorns, fairies and RWR's then I would forgive for your reticence.
Do you think we (posters) are making it up?

Do you think the NHS, lorry companies or port authorities are making it up?

Again, when was it that the lorries were stacked up ? You say "inflicting" so it must be happening or you have seen into the future to witness it, so you are either making it up or you're a time traveller.

So tell me what happens on a hard brexit to goods let alone services. Why don't you go and find out or ask someone you trust who exports and imports from Europe. Then perhaps you can get a better idea of what a hard brexit means.

So the NHS is not starting to stockpile meds?
Correct.
Brexiteers are inflicting Brexit upon us. The process started two years ago and it will culminate in the withdrawal next March.
It was still active the last time I looked anyhoo. However, I agree no one really knows what flavour we will get but there are preparations underway for the least favourable - hence the stockpiling (or not if you are a staunch Brexiteer).

If you plan to read something.

Keefe said one problem was there were no existing border inspection posts to serve Folkestone and Dover, the gateway for the majority of fresh food supplies. It is estimated it could take between five and 10 years to put enough posts in place to deal with the volume of freight requiring phytosanitary inspection.
Pauline Bastidon, the association’s head of European policy, told the conference: “Everything needs to be checked – animal products, animal feed, fruit and veg, raw meat, but also things like pot noodles and readymade meals with a little bit of meat.”
There are border inspection posts at ports and airports that are hubs for non-EU goods, such as Heathrow, Felixstowe and the Thames Gateway, but none in Dover or Folkestone.
Keefe told the conference that 20% of Eurotunnel’s freight was perishable food, and after Brexit trucks coming through Eurotunnel would have to divert their content to Heathrow or Southampton for inspection, cutting into the shelf life of fresh food and flowers.
Several executives at the conference poured cold water on the government’s current proposed solution for the borders. Peter MacSwiney, the chair of Agency Sector Management, a freight specialist, described the proposed customs partnership as “ridiculous” as it would require French, Belgian and Dutch authorities to reciprocate.
“Why would they invest in developing new IT systems to match ours when it was the UK that voted for Brexit, not them?” he said.
Scaremongering indeed.

Perhaps it would help them too? Seems like they are being a bit petty about things, like the kid having a hissy fit so he takes his ball away. We co operated with europe well before the eu existed, we still can, but on equal terms.
