To stockpile food, medicine and petrol?

[Laudanumm]

So apparently we're now at very high risk of exiting the EU in March without a trade agreement with the EU. The government wanted to keep it secret, but it's been leaked that the middle of the 3 outcomes they're discussing, so not the bad one, is the port of Dover collapsing on day 1, immediate food shortages and almost immediate petrol and medicine shortages - as in, no food in the supermarkets. It's in the Sunday Times. AIBU to start stockpiling?

lostinsunshine Where has that been said?

The irony user. Did you miss your post where you called people remoaners

NewMinouMinou

I have been caught up in a couple situations by happening to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Zimbabwe and on a business trip to Syria with DH just as the troubles started.

Seeing it first hand showed me how fragile society is, and how fast it falls apart.

From my hotel I watched a group of parents pleading to police officers for help to feed their kids. They then overpowered the police officers by beating them with sticks. They stole the guns and looted the supermarket the police were protecting.

User - the “they need us” fantasy is pretty much 80% of your last post.

Anyone who still thinks the term remoaners is witty or clever simply isn't worth any attention.

Oh god. There is only a thin veneer, isn’t there, Kursk?

Tit4TatandAllThat Sorry, it just comes up on predictive text.

Yes, so does dickhead for me.

Will I need to stockpile feta and parmesan?

NewMinouMinou No it’s not, the Eu will suffer in a no deal situation, you can not deny that, maybe not as much but there will be major job losses and massive loss of income on both sides.

Yes, so does dickhead for me.

That’s just made me chuckle! Much-needed humour, there...

Doesn't come up on predictive text for me, @user1486062886 . Maybe you are doing a Donald Trump and still fighting a fight you narrowly won a couple of years ago instead of focusing on the here and now.
Interestingly predictive text gave me wine instead of won.

Tit4TatandAllThat How can it, when you were typing, I think they’ve got a point.

We could be facing riots and social collapse. Not a period of slight belt-tightening.

No need to stockpile petrol, due to the recent changes in the mot pass criteria they'll hardly be any cars on the road by next year.

A very interesting thread, I voted remain and haven't taken much notice since, probably because I cannot stand the term remoaners 🙄 which always pops up when brexit is mentioned.

@megletthesecond , no, but you may well enjoy the 70s where we didn't have them.

lostinsunshine See it does happen.

Heh! Given that it’ll look like an overcast Mad Max here, the MOTs won’t matter ;)

Ffs. I was being sarcastic. I've just tried to type remoaner and it goes to remainer, so obviously you've typed it enough user for predictive text to think that's what you actually meant.

And wtaf Lost fuck off with your DT insult.

happinessischocolate I find it usually pops up after somebody who voted remain, throws a person who voted leave a insult.

I think the DT jibe was aimed at User.

Chill @Tit4TatandAllThat . I'm with you!

Oh so you did type remoaner user. Knew you were lying.

Tit4TatandAllThat Can you cut the swearing out.

Sorry Lost! Please reinstate that DT insult to user
