The very first thought I had when I heard the Brexidiots talk about how a free trade deal with the EU would be the answer to a maiden's prayer was "these fuckers have no clue how supply chains work". Automotive is a fairly extreme example but one would see the same thing in aerospace (and does the UK have any industries besides automotive and aerospace?). JIT, zero inventory. It's been "how it's done" for 20 years and more. It's very hard to disaggregate.

It's very clear they have no idea how trade works at all.

They seem to think that if we leave the EU then we can suddenly do whatever we like, rather than instantly having to set up a whole new set of trade deals with their own obligations.

I was always a bit disappointed that Wikipedia didn't have a page entitled "List of lists that don't list themselves".

It's never too late!

wikipedia is trying to be srs encyclopedia, and joke articles are frowned at.

I discovered "largest number not listed on wikipedia" was disallowed as wikipedia doesn't write directly about wikipedia. But I guess they have lists of lists. Do they have a list of lists which DO contain themselves?
