Project Fear Anywhere

The whole concept of 'Project Fear' is irrational. One can only know that something was Project Fear when it has not happened. To clarify - so-called Project fear is really just a warning. I seem to recall that a previous poster on this forum gave as an example of Project Fear the government taking precautions against a possible outbreak of Avian flu. Fortunately this never happened but, if it had, and no precautions had been taken,  no doubt the government would have been heavily criticised. You might as well say that warnings about children eating too much sugar is Project Fear. If there are no queues of lorries around Dover and Calais that' will be a relief but it does not mean that the Road Haulage Association is wrong to give a warning that it could happen

Same from numerous businesses who warn about what will be the case in their industries. But this is mainly reported in 'MSM' so cannot be true, can it (irony)?Last night's BBC Question Time is worth a watch btw.No-one has a decent plan while Corbyn bleats on about renegotiating with the 27 member states of the EU. The EU have no need to renegotiate and frankly, why should they? If you leave a  club you cannot expect to keep the benefits of membership.
