KCC leader Paul Carter says accelerated progress has been made since the Operation Yellowhammer document was drawn up. (Also incorrectly claims that OY represents "the worst case scenario") #r4today
"Issue is to make sure that the haulage and logistics industry understand what paperwork is to clear customs." So his implicit tack seems to be that it will be their fault if things go wrong.
"As long as we get satisfactory progress on how the customs clearance model will work, and communicate that effectively to the logistics industry, I'm pretty confident we will avoid disruption in Kent." Will Paul Carter turn out to be the Michael Fish of Brexit?

Talking about the demographic changes since the 2016 referendum is like probing a broken tooth with your tongue: painful and discomforting.

But as adults we should be able to have a sensible conversation without knee-jerk reactions, surely?
Tip top most important thing: nobody wants or wishes *anyone* dead. Talking about death is not in any way shape or form the same as willing people to die.

Discussing demographics is just that: looking at statistics and drawing logical conclusions dispassionately.
Since 2016, over 1.5 million people have died. Analyses of referendum voting patterns indicate that this group overwhelmingly skewed Leave.

Since 2016, over 2 million people turned 18. Analyses of referendum voting patterns indicate that this group overwhelmingly skews Remain.

Highlights from the Operation Yellowhammer document released yesterday (which appears to be a summary rather than the actual OY planning) - you can read the 5 page PDF original at the link below.

Government moans that the EU isn't treating us nicely. "The relationship between the UK and the EU as a whole is unsympathetic" and points out we're not getting decent bilateral engagement. (That's because the EU negotiates as a block, idiots). Almost no bilateral mitigations.
The public and businesses not only aren't ready, but they are become less and less ready because Brexit fatigue has set in (indeed - I feel it every night) and because nobody knows what Brexit will look like.

Boris Johnson's unlawful prorogation killed off two key bills that MPs had been working on for a long, long time. I guess the Etonian charlatan sees them as collateral damage in his political games.

There were 3 big revelations yesterday in UK politics (11/9/19).

With so much going on it’s easy to get distracted by just 1, but I argue these 3 must be considered together and what they add up to (THREAD).

This goes right to the heart of #Brexit and what is really going on.
The following revelations came to light on 11/9/19:
1) Operation #Yellowhammer document was published
2) Currency speculation with the Pound being shorted post 31st Oct, betting on Brexit happening on schedule and Sterling crashing.
3) Three judges ruled #Prorogation unlawful.
1) Operation #Yellowhammer document was published.

See excellent commentary from @lewis_goodall. Clearly #brexit by the governments own analysis would be deeply damaging in many ways. And there is wide suspicion this isn’t the worst case scenario.

BREAKING: #YellowHammer documents released on UK government's worst case planning assumptions for No Deal as of 2 August. Thread follows
assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/upl…
The worst disruption to the short Channel Straits might last for up to 3 months before it improves by a significant level to around 50-70%... In a reasonable worst case scenario, HGVs ·could face maximum delays of 1.5-2.5 days before being able to cross the border.
Dependent on the plans EU Member States put in place to cope with these in.creased immigration checks it is likely that delays will occur for UK arrivals and departures at EU airports and ports.

I want to read the unredacted #Yellowhammer report and I believe it needs to be printed across all media with the clear guidance that it is NOT a worst case scenario.

The government think we’re too stupid to understand it.

Please RT if you’re in agreement, thanks.

My tweet has upset the bots and hardcore Brexity types 🤷‍♀️

Why so upset about people wanting to read a government report?

Rhetorical, no need to reply!
For clarification purposes, my line about the Govt believing we would not understand the #Yellowhammer report is in direct response to multiple MPs insinuating, and in fact stating as such, during the debate.

They know only too well the ramifications of said reports publication.

For those of you who, like me, don't normally get the Sunday Times, these are the key points of Operation Yellowhammer. This is is what the Govt thinks is likely, not the worst case. The Govt is choosing to do this to the British people:

#operationyellowhammer
a hard border in Ireland will happen risking protests, road blockages & direct action

#operationyellowhammer
logjams from months of border delays could affect fuel distribution & disrupt the fuel supply in London & the South East

B R E A K I N G: A statement on the #YellowHammer leak from @MPIainDS and @OwenPaterson

“This operation yellow hammer leak is the version of what the contingency executive put together.” 1/6
“We remember attending a briefing on privy council terms which they said was not worst case but reasonable worst case. Theresa May had asked for this to be done. It was obviously project fear dressed up.” 2/6
“For example, on the delays at the port we asked if they had discussed their expectation with the port authorities of Calais/pas du Nord who had already said that there would be no extra delays at Calais and they said, (after a great deal of shuffling of feet) ‘no’.” 3/6

With Supa Strikaz gone there's a void in the local industry where new artists would find an entry point to the market and eventually go on to create their own titles or find greener pastures elsewhere.
This is a pretty good opportunity for a comic book publisher to form up or step up to the plate. And create a new era of home grown comic books.
The readership is obviously there and so too is the talent. The greater hurdle going forward as with most publications is the sponsorship to churn out those massive print runs.

Though there are a few alternatives to this.
