I'm in Copenhangan for a couple of days for work, last night in the taxi from the aiport the driver pointed out a new shiny tower block

He then went to say the that Denamrk is trying to get "Drs" from the UK into the building and are offering 20 years free rent.

I think he meant that its some sort of EU medical\pharma\research type organsation that we currenly have in the UK as being part of the EU.

We are just going to loose some many of these sorts of things as we move forward with leaving :(

Not aware of one thing we get thats worth having from leaving so far

European Medicines Agency? In Canary Wharf at the moment, and apparently employs 900 people there.

I can't see how a British Medicines Agency would have much scope to deviate from the positions of the European one, given that Big Pharma would no doubt want to sell the same products in as many markets as possible. The same applies to other regulatory agencies. But hey, loss of influence and knock-on jobs in the sector, but we've taken back control. And the NHS will get all that money. Yay.

In theory EMA move out just at the same time as our lease is up for renewal and their office is nicer and cheaper and better located for me than our current one.

In time I may have discovered one personal benefit from Brexit.

I can honestly say that I've even thought about the colour of my passport until Brexit made it a thing.

Then I thought about it for a couple of seconds and went back to not caring.

Today's Brexit cheer:

There are several factors in the Brexit fiasco that point to food insecurity and/or far more expense food. This covers the prospect of crops rotting in the fields (likely to happen this year, and certainly going to happen next year on current trends).

Just finished 'How to lose a referendum' by Jason Farrell and Paul Goldsmith.

I've read Craig Oliver's 'Unleashing Demons' and Tim Shipman's page-turner, 'All out war', both of which centre on the campaign and the immediate past. This book is the first one I've read that attempts to analyse how we got to where we are. It starts all the way back in 1945 and progresses through missed opportunities, poor leadership, and not really selling the idea of Europe to Britain for 70 years to imply an inevitability about the outcome. Much to think and argue about, and recommended once you've read Tim Shipman's book.

As far as I can tell, the current plan is to have our own customs system that's 100% devised for British needs but, by an amazing coincidence, is just the same as what we've got now, apart from being able to make the rules.

Post subject:  Re: Taking the Brexit

The paper doesn't look good from reading a few summaries. I shall read the actual thing in due course.

From what I gather, the best case scenario is frictionless @ the customs side because we will have a certified equivalent standard to the EU?

So that's us having to adhere to all EU guidelines but without any input into them whatsoever?

Is that what others have taken away from it? Please correct if wrong.

In years to come this will be known as an 'Irish border'. As in, 'Jeff's threat to that bloke was just an Irish Border' or 'we didn't want to interrupt the flow of the lawn as it meets the patio so fitted an Irish Border'.
