Unforeseen Outcomes

Ministers have been warned that the process of independentising the nation from the Euro-wogs could lead to weakening of environmental protections and possible ruin for any farmers who may somehow fail to cash in on the burgeoning cheese and marmalade export markets. Although EU rules will be carried over into the Government's repeal bill, about a third will be difficult to transpose; probably because Andrea Leadsom doesn't know what they are and everyone who might have been able to tell her has been downsized out of the department. Ministers have also been warned that, even with the repeal bill in effect, many EU rules will end up with no-one to enforce or update them, and will be easily abolished without parliamentary scrutiny at the behest of whichever corporations a given minister intends approaching for the furtherance of their post-parliamentary well-being. In the face of such dire possibilities, ministers are doubtless taking every appropriate action to ensure that nothing untoward can occur.
