Someone's been reading those brexit scare stories the likes of Yahoo keep peddling.
A “walk away” no deal Brexit would mean a lack of such things.
For example, walking away would mean we were not members of Euratom, which means no access to the isotopes used in radiotherapy.
Food would still be imported, but we’d be paying tariffs under WTO rules. We already have plenty of food banks, imagine the carnage if food massively increased in price.
As we get closer to Brexit and with no deals in sight, “Project Fear” is looking less like a scare story and far more like a bloody accurate prediction. There’s still time for the government to salvage something from all this, but they can’t agree amongst themselves at the moment, let alone agree anything with the EU.
