@ John Hawkes. Thank you for the link to this detailed analysis of what we can expect from Johnson. Very helpful in understanding how the lies he  is peddling will really effect us if he gets in. A long read but worth it.https://policyscotland.gla.ac.uk/ghost-of-christmas-yet-to-come-brexit-lecture-full-text/Nick

I think there is also a video of the lecture.I take the view that the speaker Sir Ivan Rogers, Permanent Representative of the United Kingdom to the European Union, is a politically neutral Civil Servant and that the views he expresses are worth listening to, based on his experience in dealing with and negotiating with the EU.Others of course will say he is a politically motivated ambassador for 'project fear' !!His predictions may of course be wrong - totally or in part- and just 'someone's point of view'.We shall see !

Thank you John Hawkes for providing the link to this excellent article.  I think Sir Ivan Rogers, in his former capacity as Permanent Representative of the UK to the EU, has experience and knowledge about the Eu far superior to any Government officials (in which I include Boris Johnson, et al).Than you once again, a very illuminating read - particularly with the forthcoming election.

Ms HollidayI am glad you have found the article of interest.No one would expect anyone to take it all at face value if they can provide convincing arguments to the contrary.That is what serious, rational and intelligent debate over political issues is all about.Unfortunately I doubt if Ms Hammond, Mrs Shillabeer and Mr Game have managed to tear themselves away from LBC and the Mail to actually take time to read it.Hence all we get from them are school playground catcalls and vacuous comments devoid of fact and yes, meaningful opinion.
