Disagree. This is a farce; incompetence rarely seen in UK govt history, not some deliberate ploy.
No Deal won't necessarily cause a massive recession in the UK. We could for example slash corp tax, attracting businesses from all over, strike free trade deals with e.g. China, India, US, membes of the commonwealth. Could be the best thing to happen to the UK in 100 years. Ironically, you'd almost definitely end up with far more brown people - nurses from Nigeria, coders from India etc (eat that xenophobes haha!), but it could work, and work well.
Certain sectors would do really badly. Food. Autos. Anything else we rely on the EU for. BUt many sectors will win due to no more EU regs. Pharma for example. Financial Services.
For the record, I voted Remain. And please note that this No Deal dream will only work with strong free marketist leader in charge. Javid for PM! May needs to go ASAP.
