Companies are doing the preparation now, there may indeed be a deal, but the consequences of a less than positive Brexit are going to be
hundreds of thousands of jobs lost from the UK
hundreds of millions of pounds worth of economic activity leaving the Uk
hundreds of millions of tax revenue lost
businesses unable to recruit the labour they need
services crippled by lack of manpower
basically the economy will be ****ed!
But it wont happen because once the actual consequences become clear, the majority of politicians will step back from making a decision that will haunt them for at least a decade and we will get some thing that protects the economy, basically a customs union/single market access agreement.
