LONDON - A no-deal Brexit "cannot be managed", is "certainly not desirable" and "the economic consequences would be profound, widespread and lasting", the head of Britain's main business lobby group said Friday. "Make no mistake, no-deal cannot be 'managed'," Fairbairn told bosses gathered in Bristol, southwest England. "To start to heal the divisions that have left communities separated and investors questioning the UK as a business destination," she said. "Any hasty attempt to cut their numbers would not only harm business, but harm our country," she said. "So it's up to us -- the business owners, leaders and managers -- to explain how overseas workers bring skill, innovation, and enterprise."
