Should be required reading at his old stamping ground the BBC.– ALASTAIR CAMPBELL WRITER AND BROADCASTERWHY I WROTE THIS BOOK - BY GAVIN ESLERIn 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 EslerCONTENTSIntroductionChapter 1. Brexit & Our FoodChapter 2. Brexit Our Health & the NHSChapter 3.
