UK motorway gantries now flashing "Leaving on October 31" signs

Yesterday I drove home up the M40. Every now and again there are
information gantries that usually announce how long till the next
junction, but I saw two that had wording to the effect that "UK is
leaving the EU on October 31. You may need further papers."

The message was obviously primarily directed at international
truckers.

Last night's TV adverts also included a message from HM Government
stating that "UK is leaving on October 31" (I paraphrase.)

So the government is now *assuming* that we will definitely leave on
the "do or die" date. There'll be much egg-on-face if after all we do
not leave then.

What EU is ready to change in "the deal"? IMHO (almost) *NOTHING*.
Yet Another Extensions serves no purpose. It merely extends
_shit time_ of uncertainty.

IMHO BJ (and his government) may refuse to send "UK wants extensions"
letter *IF* vote of (no) confidence is conducted in Parliament next day
after such _official_ announcement.

Why shouldn't we leave then? That is the default position (a REAL
one, compared to your advisory referendum default). The only hope for
you mainland-worshipping Remoaners is that all the mainland countries
approve a delay, in which case we will have the same exact problem on
31st January. Sooner or later, one of the mainland countries will
veto any further delays. It's inevitable.

It's totally inevitable. All it takes is one shitty little mainland
country to say NO and the Brexit extension is FUCKED.
When that does happen, the British government will simply revoke A50.

Bet he is, and its irrelevant who the PM is by Xmas if the EU doesn’t agree
to an
extension, revoking article 50 will have to be done before that if the EU
doesn’t.

The point though is, even if we think we leave on that date, its a bit like
the Village in The film The Prisoner, you actually never leave, or maybe a
better analogy is Hotel California, though that is a coming of age and
realisation of your situation song.

Except that Britain does not have a government. It has a bunch of overpaid
self serving rabble rousers, but they are not governing - precisely the
opposite, in fact and the chance of revoking A50 (when a majority of almost
400 voted to give May the green light to invoke it) is nil.

Britain will have a government after a general election; but as the rabble
rousers know, it will be a Tory government with a three figure majority.

In your dreams. I think that the only way that will happen is if most of the
rest stay home on poling day.
The whole point has been missed and as many said at the time, regardless of
you position on leave or stay, the referendum was flawed in so many ways. No
threshold turn out , no majority based on the actual voters who turned out,
then both sides campaigns blatantly lying or over simplifying the problem of
leaving
Did nobody foresee what everyone else did here?

Based on the latest polling figures of Con 37% Lab 25% LD 16% Brexit 13%

The new 600 seat parliament (assuming that is adopted) would have 367 Tories
to 157 Labour and 19 LDs.

The old 650 seat parliament would be 386 Tory, 181 Labour and 26 LDs.

You just can’t handle the truth.

If Labour had even a slim chance of getting the most seats, Corbyn would have
fallen over himself to have called an election weeks ago.

At least Corbyn knows the truth, although the snowflakes will continue to
believe his lies about why he can’t call an election at the moment however
much he wants to.

Even you should have noticed that UKIP got something like 10%
in the polls and didn’t manage even a single MP, just the one
refugee from the Torys whose constituency would have re-elected
him even if he had moved to the monster raving loony party.

Maybe, but a 30% swing to Labour is just as unlikely and especially so when
the LDs are splitting the remain vote.

The Tories could cope easily with a majority of 10-15.

Don’t shoot the messenger. I am only quoting the prediction figures.

A few % either way makes a difference between a Tory majority of 50 and over
100; neither of which are going to worry the Tories.

Even you should have noticed that UKIP got something like 10%

just one refugee from the Torys whose constituency

the monster raving loony party instead of UKIP.

Sure, part of that is because of how the FPP system
works and the fact that UKIP voters were spread
pretty evenly around the country, but its also true
that the Torys never get the same percentage of
seats as they get in the voting intension polls.
That’s because they appeal to more outside

voters where they already have enough to
get the tory MP elected.

If Labour had even a slim chance of getting the most seats, Corbyn
would have fallen over himself to have called an election weeks ago.
Not necessarily if he believes the result would be better if he waited.
If he believes that, then he needs to consider being sectioned.
Not necessarily if he can force no brexit at all given that something
like half the country doesn’t want the UK to leave. If he can achieve
that, it would improve his general election prospects.
He can’t ‘force’ a no Brexit
It could happen if the EU agrees to an extension and he
manages to achieve a no confidence motion and gets
enough to agree to have him caretaker PM and have
a second referendum which sees the remainers come
out on top and then revokes Article 50 before a general
election.

Unlikely given that he actually is a leaver himself and
hardly anyone is prepared to have him as caretaker
PM, but it might be achievable with someone who isnt
planning to stand in the next general election with
some like the SNP desperate to avoid any form of brexit.

That delay would improve Labour's prospects in
a general election that happens before a brexit

Yesterday I drove home up the M40. Every now and again there are
information gantries that usually announce how long till the next
junction, but I saw two that had wording to the effect that "UK is
leaving the EU on October 31. You may need further papers."
The message was obviously primarily directed at international
truckers.
Last night's TV adverts also included a message from HM Government
stating that "UK is leaving on October 31" (I paraphrase.)
So the government is now *assuming* that we will definitely leave on
the "do or die" date. There'll be much egg-on-face if after all we do
not leave then.
Why shouldn't we leave then? That is the default position (a REAL
one, compared to your advisory referendum default). The only hope for
you mainland-worshipping Remoaners is that all the mainland countries
approve a delay, in which case we will have the same exact problem on
31st January. Sooner or later, one of the mainland countries will
veto any further delays. It's inevitable.
It's not inevitable at all.
It's totally inevitable. All it takes is one shitty little mainland
country to say NO and the Brexit extension is FUCKED.
When that does happen, the British government will simply revoke A50.
Except that Britain does not have a government. It has a bunch of overpaid
self serving rabble rousers, but they are not governing - precisely the
opposite, in fact and the chance of revoking A50 (when a majority of almost
400 voted to give May the green light to invoke it) is nil.
Britain will have a government after a general election;
Much more likely to be even worse of a shambles than now.
Post by Keema's Nan
but as the rabble rousers know, it will be a Tory
government with a three figure majority.
Bet it isnt unless Boris can achieve a viable brexit. Even then,
with half the voters preferring to remain, its unlikely it will

Yesterday I drove home up the M40. Every now and again there are
information gantries that usually announce how long till the next
junction, but I saw two that had wording to the effect that "UK is
leaving the EU on October 31. You may need further papers."
The message was obviously primarily directed at international
truckers.
Last night's TV adverts also included a message from HM Government
stating that "UK is leaving on October 31" (I paraphrase.)
So the government is now *assuming* that we will definitely leave on
the "do or die" date. There'll be much egg-on-face if after all we do
not leave then.
Why shouldn't we leave then? That is the default position (a REAL
one, compared to your advisory referendum default). The only hope for
you mainland-worshipping Remoaners is that all the mainland countries
approve a delay, in which case we will have the same exact problem on
31st January. Sooner or later, one of the mainland countries will
veto any further delays. It's inevitable.
It's not inevitable at all.
It's totally inevitable. All it takes is one shitty little mainland
country to say NO and the Brexit extension is FUCKED.
When that does happen, the British government will simply revoke A50.
Except that Britain does not have a government. It has a bunch of overpaid
self serving rabble rousers, but they are not governing - precisely the
opposite, in fact and the chance of revoking A50 (when a majority of almost
400 voted to give May the green light to invoke it) is nil.
Britain will have a government after a general election;
Much more likely to be even worse of a shambles than now.
Post by Keema's Nan
but as the rabble rousers know, it will be a Tory
government with a three figure majority.
Bet it isnt unless Boris can achieve a viable brexit. Even then,
with half the voters preferring to remain, its unlikely it will
be anything even remotely like a 3 figure majority.
And if Boris does manage to get a no deal brexit, there wont
be a general election because even that fool Corbyn knows
that half the Labour MPs will lose their seats and he will be
politically assassinated if that happens.

The official date the UK leaves the EU is the 31st of October. So far that has not been changed, and the only thing that can postpone it is an EU decision.

It would be rather irresponsible of officials to not do anything just because they think it might be changed.

'The UK is leaving the EU on October 31. You may need further papers."

I'm sure BonZo's clarity helped in the construction of this very clear and informative message. Don't panic everyone it's all under BonZo's and the ERG's control now....you may possibly need further papers....make sure the papers are ready won't you? You may not know what papers you need, or where you're going to get the papers from, or what they may cost, but damn well make sure they're ready. And if, by any chance, you shouldn't actually need them in the end, well....well done you for getting them ready in your spare time anyway. Thank god your business has plenty of slack to allow this sort of thing....it's no wonder the likes of Muggled can slouch around all day with all this slack in the system.

HGV drivers don't know anything about documents, their employers do....they need an operators licence.

But why do you think the messages are aimed at professionals? I think it is more to the point that non professionals may not have realised.

Fact is that people leaving the UK now may well be planning to stay beyond Oct 31st. And they may need additional documents.

What I don't get is what's the problem? As long as the date remains 31st of October, which it is, and that's only a month away, why on earth should people not be warned.

So, no-one really gets why the government is targeting millions of motorists with this message at all. What documents are being referred to, exactly? What professionals, if any? What bosses/employers, if any? What members of the public, if any? Not only has no-one here any clear understanding of who the messages are being targeted at, no one really knows what documents are being referred to, nor whether the documents mean if we leave with no deal or a deal. But don't worry everyone, the Tory government has it all under control....that's why they put the message there....a bit of reassurance that BonZo has it all under control. Anyone convinced?

by reading a leaflet that

It's part of a campaign that will no doubt develop over the next
week or three, possibly with different gantry signs, or with
leaflets, or with evolving radio and TV adverts. Whether these
things do any good is another matter. Motorway signs are a
difficult case, because the good achieved by sending a message
to those most likely to be affected always has to be balanced
against the harm done by distracting drivers.

It is 100% obvious that the messages are aimed at the road-freight
industry, whether direct to drivers* seeing the signs for themselves or
indirectly to transport managers (etc) via drivers who do see the signs.

That's for hauliers. For private individuals you need to make your sure your passport is up to date and you have your green card.

But AFAIK that was necessary anyway....certainly to come to Italy it is.

Speaking of green cards, I used to pay €5 extra to get a green card with my insurance here in Italy, but ever since it was obligatory for EU insurance to cover all EU countries they have been issuing green cards as standard for EU and extra EU countries. We have been told nothing changes even in a no deal, the current and the new green card will cover the UK just as it does for other non EU countries like Albania.

Is it not the same in the UK?

On 1 Nov, I have every expectation that my EU-UK passport will get me
into France (and if I had a newtrueblue UK passport, it would do the
same). The same goes for my UK driving licence - unless it's decided
that an international driving licence will be required.

However, I'd have to check my car insurance. If it says it's valid in
the EU, I would expect it would still be valid (the contract being
between me and the insurer) - unless the small print says "if the UK is
still in the EU"). If it's not going to be valid, I'd have to get a
Green Card insurance (just like the good old days).

I'd also have to check my get-you-home recovery insurance, which I'm
sure is valid only in the UK unless you pay more (short-term cover,
which I think I paid for when I last went abroad).

There's also the European Health Insurance (EIHC) to check - and if
there has been no agreement that the mutual arrangements will still
pertain, I would be wise to take out a new travel health insurance.

But of course, if a transitional agreement is agreed, then none of us
should have to worry for around two years.

Certainly here in Italy the government has already passed legislation that protects emergency health care, expats, bank transactions etc even in the case of a no deal. In fact many of the EU agreements were only 'cosmetic' anyway. For example, there is no such thing as European car insurance, the EU just made 'Green Card' coverage for all EU states obligatory for any policy issued in the EU.

((The TV adverts have been there for weeks))
What are the differences, depending on whether we leave with a deal or leave
with no deal?
The gantry signs just say that paperwork might change - and advise vehicle
drivers to check.
It all seems reasonable to me.
Not if we don't actually leave on 31 October, which I think is more
likely now there is no sign of a deal and not enough time to get it
through Parliament even if there were one.

So the people who manage the roads should base their actions on what the law currently says or what MM happens to think?

Well, those road managers are going to look mighty stupid when the
gantries say we're leaving on 31 October when the date is 1 November.

Well the date was set by the EU; does it refer to CET? It will be 23:00 on the 31st when Central Europe reaches the 1st Nov ;-)

The same way they "look mighty stupid" when they say
"Caution, debris in road" and the next day the road is clear?
It's not as though the messages are set in stone. They can
be, and often are, changed at a moment's notice, esp if the
situation on the ground changes.

Don't we leave at 00:00, 1 Nov, EU time? In the UK, it will still 23:00
on 31 Oct. It's all explained here:

there a notional one that they use for such purposes as this?

Yes, CET, Central European Time, the timezone of France and Germany....and most EU countries.

UK, Eire and Portugal are in the same zone.

Finland and Greece are in Eastern European time.

There are several time zones within the EU (at least two I know of, and
possibly another one to thr east).

No it will not.

The clocks go back at 0200 BST on 31 Oct

So by 2359 on 31 Oct we will all be on the same time.

If you remained ignorants cannot cope with clocks, how the fuck are you going
to fare with a no-deal Brexit?

It's not fair to ask questions of Ian Jackson. LBC can't give him answers on
demand.

Maybe in a few days, someone will have 'phoned in on this issue and he can give
you a relevant response.

That's not correct. If we do leave the EU, British clocks will have to
be put back to 1973. In Northern Ireland, make that 12 July, 1688.

But being serious, some websites are wrong, and say it's 31 Oct (a
Thursday). It's actually Sunday 27 Oct (for all the EU - including the
UK) - so UK and EU time will remain in step, with a difference of 1
hour.

While the EU intends to adopt a permanent 'no time change' (with Oct
2019 being the last time), it appears that no absolutely final decision
has been taken - with March 2021 appearing to be the most likely.
[Further Googling required.]

Even if the 31st was the 'eve' of the clocks going back, they would go back at 03:00 CET to 2:00 CET, so the change would be 3 hours after Brexit to 2 hours after Brexit.

This would still have left adequate time for the Motorway boffins to write "Told you so, ya boo sucks" on the signs.

Even the incorrect reports giving 31st Oct mean that the clocks would go back
early on that morning, not the next day.

Yes. In the UK the clocks would go back from 2:00am to 1:00am CET on the 1st of Nov, so still 3 hours after the UK left the EU, which will STILL have taken place at 23:00pm on the 31st October WET. (WET is EU speak for what people in the UK call Greenwich or BST depending on the time of the year).

Oh is this thread getting out of hand :D

I was noting that even if they did change that evening they would still change after Brexit!!!

Brexit happens at 23:00 GMT......unless somebody delays it again.

Yesterday I drove home up the M40. Every now and again there are
information gantries that usually announce how long till the next
junction, but I saw two that had wording to the effect that "UK is
leaving the EU on October 31. You may need further papers."
The message was obviously primarily directed at international
truckers.
Last night's TV adverts also included a message from HM Government
stating that "UK is leaving on October 31" (I paraphrase.)
So the government is now *assuming* that we will definitely leave on
the "do or die" date. There'll be much egg-on-face if after all we do
not leave then.

In most of the responses here there are a great deal of 'may needs' and 'might needs'. We can all do a list of documents that are relevant to travel/work in the EU etc......but there is absolutely very little, if anything, to be done by anybody at this moment in time, because no one knows whether we will leave with no deal or a deal, and if it's the latter what deal will it be?
