It's speculation, guesswork, sensationalism all wrapped up in a negative narrative.

Do you know what the world will be like the day after Brexit? I don't, but I will do some speculation.............the same as it is now.

Lorries, goods and people will continue to come through the Chunnel and via ferry. Planes will continue to fly, people will still go to Spain for their holiday. There will be changes to the way things work but it will be gradual and worked out.

There will be no "Cliff Edge". The world simply doesn't and can't work that way.

There will be French champagne and cheese in the shops, Spanish oranges, Belgian and German beer and Cars from all over, pharmaceuticals etc will all be there, petrol pumps will not be dry, electricity from France will still flow across the channel, shelves will not be empty.

That is not strange at all. Far from it.
