You mean the Russian embargo on select European goods, of course.
Yes, they did muddle through that 1 year embargo of which they had prior warning.
Curiously, Russia managed somehow to survive as well, and farming is thriving there now because of it.

Today is the day, the UK government finally has produced the white paper on NI backstop.
It proposes new kind of time-limitation that does not have an actual date and something will happen sometimes after negotiations maybe.
tldr; It expect things. Don't hold your breath. It's not something legally binding.
The only danger here is EU negotiation team will die laughing when reading it.
You have been warned:

A good dose of spirit of the blitz will toughen us up a bit.
Fast forward your crystal ball. After the EU blockades us out of petty spite and a few billion people die in the cannibal uprising, we'll love them for it, right? There won't be any political repercussions? ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

EU put sanctions on Russia they managed it.
Also blockades work against choke points. France -> Uk lots of choke points (the ports).
There are these things vehicles run on called roads. There are many of these things from France going into Germany, Italy, Span, Andorra and Swtizerland. Therefore there are viable alternatives that exist today and now.
UK? Port blockade are there viable existing alternatives? |
I hope they do blockade us, but I don't think we will be that fortunate. A blockade will set Brexit in firm concrete, show the true colours of the EU for all to see, and add even more validity to the pro-Brexit case!
We already have proof of this too. What was done to Greece was a massive bonus for the leave campaign!
The strongest armed forces in the EU are the UKs, and by a decent margin too, so any forceful blockade would be impossible. Indeed Britain can hurt the EU countries massively simply by stating it will only offer them "non-lethal" support through NATO. Poor old Poland would probably get borrowed by Russia 2 days later. Many of these countries have lots of "stuff", but the effectiveness of them just doesn't come close. |

Call me a dumbski (politically, I am), but exactly why would a "no deal" exit from the EU be such a disaster, as so many say it would? What would actually happen/not happen in that scenario? ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Another thing. if the EU kicks us out of the Galileo sat nav system, they'd have to compensate us (to the tune of something like £1bn) because of the investment the UK has put into it, wouldn't they?

Oh plenty going on about it:
The fun thing is the UK in 2005 said that 3rd parties should be blocked from accessing the system.

NEGOTIATIONS WITH THIRD COUNTRIES
The Austrian Presidency expected to bring forward Council Conclusions on co-operation with third countries in the PPP phase. These have been delayed pending further discussion in the Commission on the legal position, and whether it is desirable that third countries become members of the Galileo Supervisory Authority. Under existing agreements, China and Israel are members of the Galileo Joint Undertaking. They, Norway, and Switzerland have requested membership of the GSA.
In the preliminary discussions, we have stressed that membership, if granted, should mean sharing liabilities as well as costs. We would oppose giving access to the PRS governmental service to third countries. A lunchtime discussion may take place at the March Transport Council.
Several other countries have expressed interest in some form of co-operation, including Saudi Arabia, Australia and New Zealand. It is agreed that the Commission will not seek new negotiating mandates until agreement has been reached on the principles. |
Even stranger is that Germany and France wanted it to be an ESA project, not an EU project. The UK demanded it be an EU project. Had it been an ESA project then this discussion wouldn't be happening. ____________________ Spain 2008France 2007Big one 2009 We all die.

Also: why would any device manufacturer choose to use Galileo instead of GPS? Unless they were... ah, right, unless they were required to by the EUSSR.
I am with this prediction: [Crystal ball owner] believes a transition deal will be agreed and implemented, but once the UK comes to the end of the transition period, Britain will stay in the bloc.
All signs point to Remoan. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.
