DH's predictions

[Theworldisfullofgs]

DH has thoroughly depressed me. This is his view of what will happen. Brexit will happen by hook or by crook (especially the latter) on October 31st. There will then be an immediate general election and the conservatives will win. (Neither of ours preferred option). Then it will be all bets are off. He says we're stuck now - housing market will bomb.
What do you think?
(Mind you he thought remain would win.)

[Wiltshirelass2019]

Probably right. Although lots of people will be happy with that scenario...

[ssd]

Possible I guess.
But then we'll get independence as most folk in Scotland still have sense.

[Wiltshirelass2019]

ssd it will be great if Scotland get independence, we won’t have to foot the bill for them anymore 😊

[DontLookBackIntoTheSun]

GF, “we” don’t “foot the bill” for Scotland

[Wiltshirelass2019]

We do, Scotland are a drain...

[LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD]

We are cascading towards a recession. I haven’t asked DH for his Brexit predictions because he is spookily accurate on things like this (and swears a lot when it’s on the news).

[LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD]

How is Scotland a drain exactly?

[MrsMaiselsMuff]

What a nasty comment from WiltshireLass. People like you are why we've ended up in this mess.

As for what happens next, it's worth watching The Rise of the Nazis, that was on the BBC recently. History is repeating itself, it's bloody scary.

[Theworldisfullofgs]

He thinks we'll end up with ID cards that differentiate us.
Lord can you take a deep breath and ask your DH for me?

[LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD]

I’ll wait until after dinner! It’s like consulting Cassandra though sometimes.

[Theworldisfullofgs]

I'd quite like to ho and be a non-drain in Scotland.

[Wiltshirelass2019]

I voted remain so I’m not the course of this mess, I’d rather Scotland didn’t leave but if they really want to then that’s up to them and there are benefits for England. We do subsidise the NHS there, they don’t make enough money to be independent so we do foot the bill for them for lots of services.

[Wiltshirelass2019]

[tigger001]

We do, Scotland are a drain..

This is why it needs sorting ASAP so everyone can calm the "F" down and stop attacking each other, it's ridiculous.

[Iggly]

Saying Scotland is a drain is like saying everywhere but London is a drain.

Honestly, that a load of cock.

Although with our current state of politics, I’d say Westminster very much is a drain.

[Hazardd]

Looking forward to Lord's DH prediction. Hope dinner is nice with a pudding so he's in an optimistic mood for predicting!

[GhostofFrankGrimes]

If no deal happens they’ll have to call an election sharpish before the economy completely tanks and the Tories take the blame.

[LoueyLou]

Comments like Wiltshire’s makes me wonder how long before the more deranged Leavers start giving Scotland the same smearing treatment as they’ve given the EU over the years.
It’s like a lot of people need something to hate/blame.

[Walkingdeadfangirl]

We voted to leave the EU and should have done so already, leaving in October is what people want.
A GE is necessary and if people vote for Boris they that is what they want.
But not sure how it will affect the housing market we still have a shortage of houses and high demand, so prices will probably keep going up.

Nothing wrong with ID cards, I have a drivers license and a passport, one more wont make any difference. Lots of countries have them.

[Wiltshirelass2019]

LoueyLou I voted remain 😂 if Scotland want to leave and be independent that’s up to them, it will be a shame but all I’m saying is there will some benefits to England if they do leave.

[Theworldisfullofgs]

I'm people. It's not what I want.
I wish some leavers would stop generalizing.

[larrygrylls]

My bet is Brexit will either happen with a (bad) deal or it will not happen at all.

BJ (how apt) is a dead man walking following his defeat in the Supreme Court and his mayoral scandal (lots in Sunday Times today).

With Parliament against no deal exit and Europe increasingly frightened of it, I think a way will be found to thwart it.

[GhostofFrankGrimes]

When the economy tanks and jobs are lost, house prices will not go up.

[MaverickSnoopy]

If people vote for Boris that is what they want.

Um no. I don't want to vote conservative but I can't vote for Corbyn. I know it's the party we vote for but I can't honestly vote labour with him running the party, as much as I want to. So I've reached a stalemate.

My DH has so far predicted everything that will happened from the referendum vote to Boris taking the lead. He is adamant we won't leave the EU. I hope he's right.

[TheEmojiFormerlyKnownAsPrince]

I’m with your husband😭

No deal and we’ll crash out
Extension, and Bojo will win election.

I’m scared shitless. Hard right government could introduce:

Return of capital punishment
No infrastructure investment
Marginalisation of minorities
Demonisation of homosexuality

I wish l didn’t think like this, but l do😭
