Undoubtedly , there is an agenda Brydo, and that’s not just my opinion, in fact it is clear that the Yellowhammer disclosure demand by remain opposition parties was designed to give maximum embarrassment to the Government, and frighten the electorate!
My opinions, like yours , are formed by my life experiences and in my business experience, it would be totally irresponsible for any business, or any ‘Government ‘ undertaking a major new venture -such as Brexit – not to produce impact assessments including worse case scenarios.
Unfortunately , Remainers have hyped up the worse case , in another Project Fear moment, this one however is on steroids!
Because the opposition‘s ‘political ‘ demand for the publication of this document has been successful, it does not make the document a prophesy, rather, it is just a document outlining potential events etc., significantly the detractors have not taken into account government action already taken or planned to mitigate the worst projections!
The SNP will have them, and I’ll bet my house, that they will slither and squirm and make excuses for not publishing the impact assessments of their drive for ‘Independence’, because, at least one of them will show ‘Armageddon ‘.
Balance , is what is required, not political expediency?
As I have already said, when I was a director of a banking institution, it was essential that we had plans to cope with different scenarios and several documents relating to this were kept on my iPad.
The file was entitled “Business Continuity Plan” ( an impact assessment ) and outlined what we would do in the event of various scenarios – an economic collapse, robbery, break in, computer failure, natural disasters, pandemics, cyber-terrorism etc.
It was full of “may happen ” “might happen ,” and “could happen “- not as Remainers and the BBC are promoting in Yellowhammer , “will happen”!
It’s what any responsible business or Government will do – ie plan for the future?
It did not mean that we were expecting any of it to happen, it was just good planning.
If you read some of my previous posts, you will clearly see that not only did I vote to remain, but I have made it clear that I think that leaving with a deal is the best course of action!
