No-deal Brexit: EU warns its citizens to prepare for the worst
A couple of months of this post-Brexit will probably be enough to swing an independence referendum in Scotland as people become desperate to return to how things were.

Many companies are relocating to EU27 or expanding their business in EU27.”
An EU official added: “We have the impression that since a few weeks a no return point has been considered by a certain number of industrial sectors and that they are taking their decisions.
“You have seen some declaration of corporations saying that they are reconsidering investment, they relocating part of their activities, transferring their marketing authorisation for example for pharmaceuticals in the EU. This is ongoing.
