From the BBC:
The future of the UK's fuel refineries could be threatened by a no-deal Brexit, according to an internal local authority document seen by the BBC.
Under current government plans for no deal, they face a "danger to viability" from cheaper imports, while exports to the EU are set to be hit with tariffs.
Concern is widespread in an industry deemed crucial for both economic and national security...
National security??
From oil well to your car is a long, delicate thread, trailing halfway across the world, through all manner of political, religious, commercial, practical and technological eyes-of-needles (if that's what threads go through).
Our dependence on oil itself is a threat to national security, if we can skip a step and buy the end product cheaper from abroad, let's do it.
