Secret documents predict disaster in case of Brexit without agreement

Britain is expected to face major problems if it leaves the European Union without a trade deal, said in several documents published by the newspaper “The Sunday Times”.

In such a case, the country would face shortages of supplies of medicine, food and fuel, which could last up to six months.
“The Sunday Times” writes that “dos provides a rare look at a government secret plan to avoid a catastrophic collapse in the country's <x2x3> infrastructure.

Documents detailing the negative impact in the country in the event of an agreement-free Brex have been issued by a former minister in an effort to influence government negotiations with the European Union, a government source said Sunday.

According to the same source “document belongs to the time when ministers were blocking what was to be done to prepare for evacuation and funds were not available”, as he said.

Although the gloomy scenarios, described in documents stemming from the government, have long been discussed by academics and economists, they have been dismissed as panic-mongering by Britain's EU supporters.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said the country will leave the European Union on October 31st without an agreement even if it cannot renegotiate its predecessor's agreement, Theresa May with the bloc.

However, officials have warned Prime Minister Boris Johnson that uncovened exit from Brex would put at risk co-operation in sharing information needed by law enforcement forces, as well as the financial services industry.

Documents published by the Sunday Times” also quoted officials as warning that up to 85 per cent of trucks would not be ready to pass French customs at the critical checkpoint, the Lamanch Canal on October 31st, triggering lines that could last days. About 75 percent of all the drugs that come to Britain arrive through this crossing are said to be documents.

Officials predict the touch of the critical “Elements” of the food supply chain “that would create market shortages and increase the price, with consequences on vulnerable groups”. The Sunday Times “has not explained how it received documents or the government on the other hand has not responded to the requests for comments. / VOA
