It's not the 1970s anymore and even when it was they didn't have to suddenly replace decades worth of legislation, international agreements and infrastructure in just two years. Two years in which we've largely not been doing anything to prepare for it anyway.

I don't know what's going to happen in the event of a no deal. I suspect it won't be allowed to happen and we'll fall back to a 'transition' period where we're stuck in limbo until actual agreements are made. However many of the things we take for granted are backed by treaties and agreements so advocating we leave them without replacements would, in theory, mean those things are disrupted.

There seems to be a belief that all the EU is are the people sitting in Brussels and everything will just continue as normal for life here only with fewer Brits amongst those people. If we don't have any agreements to replace those we're leaving then that delusion will be shattered come 29th March.

By the way for all the talk about how it'll be fine, this is all Project Fear, prominent advocators of Brexit know this. UKIP may think a No Deal is fine but they're making damn sure their pensions and entitlements in the EU will have a deal. Dyson might talk about how Britain doesn't need the EU for manufacturing but when it comes to actual investment and money then Singapore, with it's EU agreements, seems to be where his company will produce cars. Nigel Lawson may want Britain out of the EU but he is applying for a French passport so that he can remain an EU citizen. The people who are calling this all Project Fear are making sure they're prepared.
