Armageddon?

Technically, things should be cheaper without having to pay the artificially-high EU prices if we are importing under WTO rules. I'm noticing that Tesco are quickly increasing prices - some more than 50% so they can blame inflation, Brexit, weak Pound, strong Dollar, Euro prices or any other convenient excuse to boost year-end profits.

We'll still be able to buy and import food, clothes, medicines, cars from other countries. It just might be a bit more expensive until we get new trade deals agreed. We'll still be able to travel, but the airport checks might take a bit longer. It's more of a nuisance than anything, but things will have a way of balancing out over time.

yep, maybe that first message came across a bit wrong/strong -  Im not afraid exactly. Even quite enjoying watching and wondering what the hell is going to happen, in a really twisted, warped, kind of way...though id rather it didn't happen. In fairness i dont actually watch the news, its quite hard to miss the main points though! 

Nevertheless i now have a deep interest in how one would manage in the event that all hell did break loose... my obsession/intense interests don't always make a huge amount of sense! Mind you given the amount of disaster movies i watch perhaps this was always going to happen...

Camoron promised a referendum a few times before, but his advisers warned him that he couldn't guarantee a remain vote (he's a Bilderburger member so he's Super-pro EUSSR) . His masters demanded a remain vote so it was delayed and delayed until they'd imported enough people to vote remain - he was so certain of a remain vote that there was no other plan.

He'd staked his reputation on it - even telling (lieing) to the public that he would instigate Brexit immediately and lead us straight out of the EUSSR.

That's why he fell on his sword - lots of powerful people were not pleased.

May is an arch-remainer - her job is to stall for as long as possible - she even threw an election to reduce her majority - or maybe pass the poison chalice onto the Labout fool.

All this time, our gates are wide open  - maybe 1M newcomers per year to make sure any future Brexit vote would not fail.

Most remainers do not understand the up-coming massively sweeping EU legislation that is about to be passed signing away their own country - and all that it implies.

The Italian economy is about to collapse so our financial contributions to 'The European Project' will have to increase hugely to prop up the Euro.

Just last week a sneaky law was passed making criticism of immigration into a an offence with jail time. This paves the way for a one-party Junta where opposition to government policy = jail time.

Where in history have we seen all this before?

Brexit is very handy for keeping REAL news well buried.

Absolutely.  It was a blatant electoral sop by Cameron, and it backfired on him with spectacular effect.  Still... at least he's happy now, sitting in his expensive shed writing his memoirs (doubtlessly for huge sums of money) while the rest of the country frets.

Not me either, though.  I just sit here and watch.  I can't give worrying about it the time of day.

We were doomed from the start. Biased lamguage was used In virtually every media outlet in the run-up, before anyone had even voted, by referring to the referendum as "Brexit".

It was completely irresponsible to call for a referendum without having any plan jn place.

I'm not concerned about it. It's not actually going to change much. Products will still be available, business will still continue. Businesses will find a way to get around any issues they encounter. It's not a nuclear war. What exactly are you afraid of?

Not blunt at all.  I'm really out of step with much that's going on.  You can't look at a paper or a TV without being assailed by either something else 'Brexit', or what the Duchess of Sussex will be wearing at Christmas.  I get The Week to get a digest of news, but I don't have a TV, hardly ever put the radio on, and haven't had papers for years.  Like so many other things, it's riven with all sorts of speculations about what will and won't happen.  We just have to wait and see now.

Personally, I believe the referendum should never have taken place.  All these idiots saying 'Why don't we just pull out and be done with it?' are what got us into this mess.  Realpolitik is now hitting them in the face, but they're too daft to notice.  It was always going to be difficult for the UK to exit from Europe, not least because - unlike Germany, say - we don't have a written constitution.  Therefore, so much of the legislation we've taken on board over the last nearly 50 years has been EU in origin.  We're more 'European', in many senses, than most of the other countries that comprise the EU.  The way I look at it now, we're trying to extract pure water from a vat of marinated p**s using a siphon tube, a funnel and a set of Boots water filters!

I dont want to come across as blunt but just stop watching, listening to or reading the news. Im sure every day its Brexit based. Instilling fear into everyone. I feel quite philosophical about it cos ive not heard all the details. Im accepting of the fact its going to happen. Its out of our hands and theres nothing i can do so why worry. Itll certainly make life interesting. Life is short.

I'm stockpiling my prescription medications.  Keeping at least 3 months worth at home.

This reminds me of a British 60s film, whose name I forgot. 

Where society starts to collapse with widespread looting, arson, army deployed to keep order, curfews, checkpoints at main roads.

In the end the government decided to nuke the main cities and population centres. So the rest of the country will have a better chance to survive.  ️

I guess that shows how easily I'm taken in, then. 

It still wouldn't surprise me, though.  There must be plenty of people with enough money, and enough sense to see how things might go with global warming, market volatility, etc.  Why wouldn't they spend a little of their cash buying some protection?

With the world as it is, I don't know how anyone can really tell what's fake and what isn't any more - apart from the usual Fox News/Daily Mail stuff with a clear agenda behind it.

These are old FAKE stories that are trotted out at every opportunity - like elections, bad weather, sky falling, forest fires etc. etc.

The super-rich are buying luxury apocalypse-safe bunkers for protection against natural disasters and nuclear attack

...and remote areas of New Zealand, too.

Ben Elton's 'Stark' no longer seems like fiction...

Armageddon... out of here!  The question is, where?

I should never have backed out of emigrating to Canada.

Brexit is a pantomime. Governments don't allow annoying things like referendums get in the way of business as usual. Too many very wealthy, very powerful people will make sure nothing affects their profit margins.

All you are likely to see is a few 'nasty' taxes applied to cause inconvenience to the little people as punishment for daring to vote the wrong way. Things like travel visas, flight taxes and deliberate delays when travelling cattle-class or on ferries.

Anything else could affect big business - which is where all failed politicians go to retire - so they won't be doing anything to jeopardise their own cushy futures.
