Neil Dickson of the NHS on Newsnight just now saying that shortages of masks for staff to use in the coronavirus crisis have been slightly alleviated by getting masks which were stockpiled for a No-Deal Brexit. Why would an excess of masks be needed for Brexit? Is there something we haven't been told? Shocked if so.
After this recession which I think we will recover from pretty quickly once lock down finishes and we all get back to work, I wonder what appetite the public will have for another one at the turn of the year if we don’t get a brexit deal?

Though some government lickspittle was on the radiobox the other day saying that one of the main reasons for the current shortage was that most of that type of equipment comes from China, who've been a bit hampered recently. As we know UK will have an utterly brilliant deal with China as soon as we've fully left the EU. Shirley, then, there would be no need to stockpile goods coming from China in preparation for Brexit? Sometimes it seems almost as if not all government messaging quite adds up.

I work for NHS and know for a fact there are warehouses in UK stockpiled with medicine. Clearly not PPE though.
Dogged, isn't he? :greengrin

That's the immigration bill passed ending freedom of movement. I feel sad.
Why did the chlorinated chicken cross the Atlantic? To get to UK supermarkets.
Despite every Tory Brexit politician claiming that Brexit won't result in lower food standards and "We'll never allow chlorinated chicken here", today the Government quietly rolled over and allowed the US the right to sell chlorinated chicken and hormone fed beef in UK shops. Thanks Brexit peeps.

The government is set to open British markets to food produced to lower US welfare standards as part of its planned trade deal with Donald Trump. Downing Street on Thursday refused to stand by an earlier pledge to keep so-called "chlorinated chicken" off UK shelves, in the first sign of the government folding under pressure from American trade negotiators
Their 2019 manifesto pledged "not compromise on our high environmental protection, animal welfare and food standards".It would be embarrassing for Johnson not to get a trade deal with the US and he'll lie, cut standards and farmers thrown to the lions to achieve it.
Hooray! You lot will all be eating humble pie when Her Majesty navigates her way around the globe on the new HMY Enterprise and seals deals with far flung exotic nations just queueing up to trade with us.

It's **** all about trade deals, it's all about Britannia ruling the waves and sailing into the colonies showing them how superior they are. I despair that there are still people in Scotland who are happy to be shackled to that lot

Unilever is to abandon its dual Anglo-Dutch corporate structure in favour of a single company based in London, reversing attempts two years ago to combine its businesses in the Netherlands.The maker of Marmite, Dove soap and Ben & Jerry’s ice cream said it would seek to integrate its Dutch entity into its UK arm, ending a legacy of Unilever’s formation from the merger of a Dutch margarine company and British soap maker Lever Brothers more than 90 years ago.
I have to say Essex is a part of the country that I can never see myself visiting.
My impression is it’s full of Mark Francois Little Englander like people.
He reminds me of my wife’s Uncle. He’s a Tw@. He lives in Hitchin in Hertfordshire though. None of her side of the family can stand him either.
