Brexit isn't something that is just going to hurt some of us (badly) - everyone will be hit. After the slightly tongue-in-cheek references to #LoveIsland 2019 being held in Skeggy, the reality of post-Brexit travel costs & rights are being highlighted: 1/7

But it is already too late. British run ski-based businesses are already making decisions for the season that starts soon and runs past 29 March, 2019. With all the noise over no-deal, they are taking drastic action. 2/7
Charles Owen, Managing Director of European Pubs Ltd said:
“After 14 years, I have made the painful decision to close 2 of our venues, Jacks Bar and Evolution in Meribel as our business model is no longer viable under any forms of Brexit outlined to date. 3/7
It’s impossible for me to wait until October to have the slightest idea of how I might be able to run these businesses and then have only 5 months to change or sell them.” 4/7
And what about the estimated 25,000 UK nationals working in the EU supporting the seasonal holiday industry whose jobs are at risk with any of the Brexit scenarios currently in prospect? 5/7
The loss of jobs will be predominantly amongst the young aged 18 – 24 who, a recent survey reveals, are the bulk of those employed in the sector. 60% of the companies surveyed run apprenticeships or training in the UK or the EU for their workers. 6/7
And then there are the UK nationals living in the EU who work between ski seasons in other EU countries and have done for years. Overnight, their way of life is destroyed. For them, October is also too late. In fact, October is too late for all of us living in limbo. 7/7
