'Punchy, pithy and short.' - POLLY TOYNBEE, GUARDIAN COLUMNIST 'In
an ideal world every citizen would read this essential book, and
think hard.' - PROFESSOR AC GRAYLING, ACADEMIC The broadcaster and
journalist Gavin Esler reveals the long-lasting impact of the most
momentous change in Britain for decades. In seven succinct
chapters, he charts the profound changes brought about by leaving
the European Union on key areas of life in the United Kingdom: 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 is packed with surprises.
And Brexit Without the Bullshit is not about the Brexit you were
told you were getting: it's about the one we're actually getting.
From the author of How Britain Ends: English Nationalism and the
Rebirth of Four Nations and Lessons From The Top, this is the ideal
accompaniment to books on Brexit such as the Fintan O'Toole's
Brexit Chronicles and Michel Barner's Secret Brexit Diaries.
Instead of concentrating on the Brexit referendum campaign, it
uncovers the fundamental changes caused by Brexit - and what they
mean for ordinary life. REVIEWS 'If you want a pithy, sober,
clear-headed summary of what Brexit is actually likely to look
like, @gavinesler's new book is spot on. Such a welcome antidote to
all the whipped up sentiment - calm, factual, rigorous.' - DR
RACHEL CLARKE, NHS DOCTOR AND CAMPAIGNER '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 '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 WHY I WROTE THIS BOOK - BY GAVIN ESLER In
2016 I did something I had never done before. I voted in the Brexit
referendum without knowing what I was voting for or against. No one
explained to me - or you - what Brexit would mean for our lives.
Whether you voted Leave or Remain, we did not know the facts about
Brexit, how it would affect our jobs, food, schools, universities,
the NHS, our families, pets, travel arrangements, and even the
supposed unity of the United Kingdom. In the years since the Brexit
vote, the British government has continued to fail to explain the
facts about Brexit, and so I decided to find out for myself. The
result is my latest book, "Brexit Without The Bullshit." At first I
thought that if Brexit were stripped of the bullshit - lies and
deceit, scare stories and fantasies - there would be nothing left.
But the facts about Brexit are so stark, there's plenty to discuss
and think about. The key fact is this: Brexit is not an event. It
is a process. Whether it happens or not, whatever version of
leaving the EU we end up with, we will be forced to discuss Brexit
for years to come. If we are to survive and perhaps thrive, we need
to start with the facts. Gavin Esler CONTENTS Introduction Chapter
