I found the document below in a senior Minister's waste paper basket.....
When
Brexit has Wrecked it - this is what Britain will be like:
More
expensive – the £ will dive even further – imported goods will
cost more
Exports
to EU will drop – EU customs duty will make them more expensive -
with resultant unemployment here
Half of
cars made in Britain go to the EU
Large
amounts of paperwork needed by Britain's 250k small businesses to
continue exporting to EU
Business
says there will be mass redundancies
More
expensive NHS – half of our medicines come from Europe; some are
not made here – viz, insulin. Hopefully EU citizens will be
allowed to work in UK – otherwise NHS will flounder with 10,000
less staff
Lorry
queues across the south of England – food going bad? Already 1.6 million
truck crossings per the tunnel per annum.
Government
has promised troops will fight food riots!
Long
delays at airports – while we re-negotiate with international
airspace agreements
Our
inexperienced Civil Service will spend £millions trying to build new
trade agreements with 160 WTO countries, who know we need them more
than they need us.
And to
re-negotiate the 36 trade deals the EU has with others
Wage
growth in UK is static – and cannot be expected to improve when
trade falls and import costs increase
Current
UK financial situation – National Debt £2.3 trillion, bank balance
£114 billion in the red. Brexit is not going to improve this
Current
trade with the world in £ billions:
EU
£ 487 billion
USA
140
China
50
Aus/NZ/Can
26
Bra/Rus/Ind
43
Nobody
is beating a path to our door.....

Brussels, but by chronic British short-termism and under-investment.”
