Produktbeschreibung

The broadcaster and journalist Gavin Esler sets out how the most momentous change in Britain for decades will change everyday life. In 7 succinct chapters, he reveals the profound impact of leaving the European Union on:

Food and diet
Health and the NHS
Jobs and industry
Education
Travel to Europe

From the food markets of Kent to NHS operating theatres to the boardrooms of big employers, Brexit throws up many surprises.

Brexit Without the Bullshit is not about the Brexit you were told you were getting. It's about the one that is arriving.

Here's the really useful book: Brexit Without Bullshit by Gavin Esler. Everything a good Remainer needs to persuade the Brexiters, punchy, pithy and short.



Esler lays out with stark clarity the effects a Brexit will have on every significant aspect of our lives. In an ideal world every citizen would read this essential book, and think hard. This is the clearest, most uncompromising and most valuable statement of the facts available; and it could save us from a disastrous mistake.

what does leaving the European Union mean for you
me
our families
children
jobs
health care
and our daily lives? Shorn of the posturing and the promises
what are the profound changes ahead? 1. BREXIT & OUR FOOD. The scene at a market in Deal
Kent. Brexit means fewer EU workers from Eastern Europe to pick fruit and vegetables
potentially forcing crop changes and higher prices. Fewer vets for animal health inspections. Trucking EU food to UK will cost more
increasing food inflation 2. BREXIT & THE NHS. Foreign nationals
many from the EU
staff an understaffed health service. Despite the slogan on Vote Leave's Brexit battlebus
quitting the EU will shrink the economy
leaving less money for the NHS. The US will want to sell costlier drugs in return for a US-UK trade deal 3. BREXIT
OUR JOBS & OUR MONEY. Despite lay-offs at EU-facing manufacturers such as Jaguar Land Rover
Nissan and Honda
the labour market has remained tight. However not being in the EU is likely to stymy growth
and financial services will suffer a slow loss of income 4. BREXIT & OUR CHILDREN’S EDUCATION. Brexit will lead to fewer EU teachers in schools
potentially exacerbating shortfalls in science and maths. Productive freedom of movement for brains will decline – for EU lecturers to come to the UK and vice-versa. The end of Erasmus will stunt student experiences 5. BREXIT & TRAVEL. How Brexit changes immigration rules
visas
passport queues
flying to the Continent
coach trips
health insurance such as EHICS cards
driving abroad
mobile phone charges and an issue of great importance for British people: pet passports. 6. BREXIT & OUR COUNTRY. What happens to the United Kingdom after Brexit? English nationalism has sparked an upsurge of patriotic and nationalist feeling in Wales and Northern
to join the already strong independence movement in Scotland. 'We live in an increasingly dis-United Kingdom' 7. A NO DEAL BREXIT. In the event of the UK and the EU being unable to agree on their relationship after Britain's withdrawal
what would falling back on WTO terms mean for UK people and businesses? JARGON & THE BORING STUFF. Brexit glossary. European Union (EU)

Rezensionen

'In this timely and incisive book, Gavin Esler dispels the myth that delivering a Brexit deal, or no deal, would bring an 'end' to Brexit. On the contrary, on everything from trade negotiations to decisions over our food standards and public services, getting Brexit "over the line" would be just the start. Admirably concise and well-researched.' — Francis Grove White, People's Vote Campaign 'Esler provides the evidence of what Brexit has already done to Britain and the harm that it's causing and will cause, in particular to the poorest in our society. A guide for all who want to understand what Brexit really means.' — Jessica Simor QC, Remain campaigner 'A brilliant demolition of the lies and liars that created the Brexit mess. Should be required reading at his old stamping ground, the BBC' — Alastair Campbell, writer and broadcaster Esler lays out with stark clarity the effects a Brexit will have on every significant aspect of our lives. In an ideal world every citizen would read this essential book, and think hard. This is the clearest, most uncompromising and most valuable statement of the facts available; and it could save us from a disastrous mistake. — AC Grayling, philosophy professor
