I'd ignore the media reports as they always act on their own agenda whatever it may be.

Contingency planning has always been based on a worst case scenario. It has to be for it to be effective. If you don't plan for the worst and cover all possible scearios you may as well just "play it by ear".

No-deal Brexit 'to leave shelves empty' warn retailers

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-47028748

Quote:
M&S, Sainsbury's and Waitrose are among those warning stockpiling fresh food is impossible and that the UK is very reliant on the EU for produce.
Quote:
The letter, seen by the BBC, uses the government's own estimate that freight through Calais may fall 87% from current levels, threatening the availability and shelf life of many products.
Quote:
Their letter says that stockpiling fresh food is impossible and that the complex, 'just in time' supply chain through which food is imported into the UK will be "significantly disrupted" in the event of a no-deal Brexit.

Well that certainly is a surprise, there won't be 'winners' and 'losers'? How disappointing !

In the event of rioting from Brexiteers we can always did what we did in the miners strike and send out the police on horseback to club them down. Shouldn't take too much to knock away their zimmer frames and confiscate their Daily Fails ;)

We'll all be celebrating and laughing at the panicked remainers looking for the avocado.

The Remainers wonderful EU, (heavens knows why they think they are wonderful) would not put lives at risk and if they did threaten this bullshit, who the hell wants to stay in such a corrupted EU that wants to punish us for making a Democratic decision with such pathetic threats?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

It's beggers belief all this bollocks and nonsense. It just strengthens the Brexiteers cause to leave such a disgusting and cancerous and corrupted EU.

But as predicted, it was always going to get this crazy with the scare mongering nonsense. I Just ignore it, it's noise and nothing else.

They aren't threats. The risks mentioned are if we leave with no-deal so cannot have any the trade arrangements required to keep supplies coming in with minimum disruption.

This isn't the EU's doing. This is we leave without a deal with them. No different than if stopped a having a existing trade deal with anyone else in world - it would disrupt the existing trade between us and that country.

What happens after that is then purely down to us.

The 2011 riots started over a very local reason and spread to areas not directly connected to it. The disruption a no-deal exit could cause will be UK wide.

I just don't understand why remainers want to riot over leaving on wto rules,maybe it's time to round them up and get them into internment camps so the rest of us can be safe.

In the event of a food shortage and riots start I'll just bypass the food shops and put some retail shop windows through instead and rob a couple of TV's and designer clothes. Maybe smash some cars up.

Because lets face it, it won't be about Brexit it will be the nationwide criminals, teenagers and dole **** that will come out robbing anything but food.

They don’t - you’re making stuff up to be provocative.

From the link above


‘It has been claimed that the UK could simply move to WTO terms if there is no deal with the EU. But Anneli Howard, a specialist in EU and competition law at Monckton Chambers and a member of the bar’s Brexit working group, believes this isn’t true.

“No deal means leaving with nothing,” ’
