Armageddon?

Soooo, is anyone else now deeply concerned about surviving brexit? This started out as me worrying about medication and planning how to stockpile it just in case (going fairly well!). Now I am starting to consider survival strategies in the hopefully not going to happen event of civil unrest and impending doom. I wish I was joking but I think this is potentially turning into my latest obsession! 

So what do we need? Water obviously and food, but what food?

  • 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.

    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!
