It's an opinion shared by many, me included. Sorry, I should have spelled that out more clearly for you.

Yes. Project fear. As said.

We hear about it all the time.

Doesn't make it true or an accurate position.

I heard the other day that £500,000 has been placed as a bet on a second referendum. So what?

People get bets and predictions wrong all the time, for example, the vast majority of people in every single betting market plus in the case of the referendum all the bookmakers, pollsters, economists and "experts" in the run up to the referendum.

If you want to wring your hands with worry about an imagined future promoted by people who lost backed up with confirmation bias whilst in the meantime spending your hours posting waffle on here then I suppose that is up to you.

In the meantime, I will be looking for opportunities and ways to deal with and work around the new position we will find our selves in.

I bet you were one of these that were bemoaning the loss of the steam powered train and robots taking over in factories...

Try telling that to the Welsh fisherman who are waking up to the very real consequences of a No Deal Brexit.

Quote:
Many of Wales' fishermen will "not survive" a Brexit no deal, it has been claimed.

The vast majority catch shellfish, exporting them live to the continent or further afield via EU trade deals.

The Welsh Fishermen's Association (WFA) warned "people would start going out of business" after just four weeks if custom checks and restrictions caused delays.

The UK government said it was "focused on getting the best possible deal".

Sion Williams, a lobster and crab fisherman, who works near Nefyn, Gwynedd said the sector was becoming increasingly concerned the UK would leave the EU without a trade deal.

While many fishermen still harboured hopes of increased quotas after Brexit, he said maintaining access to European markets and current income levels was essential.

"So much has been promised and people's hopes have been raised. I don't think anyone voted for things to get worse," Mr Williams said.

"Of all the food producers exporting to Europe, the shellfish sector would be the most vulnerable if we have no deal."
Of the 451 vessels registered in Wales, 92% are small-scale, defined as under 10m in length, specialising in shellfish like lobster, crab, whelks and mussels.

In 2017, they landed £38.8m worth of produce, with 90% sold directly to EU markets.

"Any delay in the transit of these commodities will cause a lot of problems as they are live shellfish and they need to be supplied as soon as possible," Mr Williams said.

"If they're held up in ports, they can deteriorate, lose value and even die."

"It's been calculated that the industry would not be able to hold on more than four weeks of not being able to sell products into Europe. Because of the high cost of fishing enterprises, people expect to get a quick turnaround of money to support their businesses."

Wow that is a long post even if with a lot of things "project fear, bemoaning, wring your hands

Just a curiosity why somebody that is worried by the future and negative news (quoted and reported) has to be somebody that spends his time wringing his hands and not looking for opportunities and ways to deal with it?

The best way to deal with an issue is to understand it first
