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!

  • 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.
