@Burnley123 No, the cuts aren't down to the EU... but some feel that the EU laws are the best chance they have of fighting the cuts - without the EU, they have no access to those laws or the European Court of Human rights... see the issue there???
Oh, we all know that no deal = mega austerity - hence why so many jumped ship when they had the chance. The problem with the mega austerity is that there won't be any more sick and disabled to target (been there, done that)... so it'll be those that are currently just about managing who will be targeted next to get the amount paid out in working tax credits down.

@HootyTheNightOwl I think we agree on that.

I can't access your link, but there's a piece currently on the BBC website headed "What is no-deal Brexit". It makes a fundamental error by implying that the position immediately after a no-deal exit would be permanent. In fact a no-deal exit would almost immediately trigger urgent negotiations between the UK and the EU on trade and other matters, because deals of some kind on these matters would be in the EU's interests. Of course it's impossible to predict how such negotiations would turn out; but the UK would be in a much stronger negotiating position than it is now, when the EU doesn't believe a no deal exit will happen.

@Picklebobble2 At the moment the EU are refusing to negotiate because they don’t believe a no-deal exit will happen. If they become convinced that it might, they will immediately start renegotiating. And if, contrary to their expectation, a no-deal exit really does happen, they will immediately try to do deals to protect their and their member states’ interests.

@MartinII you are right in what you say , can you imagine Germany and France letting this happen because EU think it won't happen , and the other countries, that is why we make it permanently clear no deal will happen the EU can not let the other countries down just to teach us a lesson ,

@Picklebobble2 Balderdash. As the previous commenter notes, for three years it has been wholly anti Brexit. It has not been reportage: it has been advocacy. I would like you to point out one single positive Brexit article or report ANYWHERE on the BBCs multiple sites. Their Brexit commentary has been uniformly negative and remainer.
As a physicist, I would also refer you to their almost infantile, scientifically naive and generally infantile reporting on climate matters. In the real world of the science of atmospheric physics, there are so many unknowns (Not just known unknowns, but unknown unknowns) in such a non-linear chaotic system, that attempting to predict a fixed state in 10-20-50-100 years time is is the search for fools gold. Yet the BBC advocate - strongly promotes - economy destroying "renewables" and inserts "climate change as a cause of every event sane people call "weather".
BBC merely reporting??!!! Balderdash.

At least the tag-line says "could look like". But anyone following this link should be aware that since a majority of the British people voted FOR Brexit, the BBC has done its utmost to frustrate the will of the people. Not once, in three years, has it published a single article which puts the positives and the many benefits that will flow from its release from the bureaucratic shackles of Brussels. It's an interesting presentation, but essentially, as a previous comment notes, it is just another version of Project Fear.

@MartinII it's hard to show both sides of an argument when one side is complete bollocks.

@CheshireCatalyst A typically erudite, polite and well-argued contribution from a remainer.
@NataliaT Yes, it would be nice to read and hear about some of the positives of Brexit now and then.
Far too much airtime is spent debating all the negative aspects as opposed to keeping things more balanced.
