To wonder why we aren't rioting in the streets?

So:
The government is about to begin stockpiling processed food in case the country is plunged into chaos by a “no deal” Brexit.
In just over half a year the UK is going to be wrecked for decades to come. We're looking at rationing, for God's sake. Power cuts. Mass unemployment. The loss of our employment and human rights. The new Health Secretary has allegedly received 10s of 1000s from the head of a thinktank that wants to abolish the NHS. There is no plan for the future. Not even the most ardent of the Brexiter politicians that got us into this mess are pretending that we aren't looking at massive economic and social problems.
Isn't it time for us as ordinary citizens who, with our children, will pay for this fiasco to start demonstrating, meeting our MPs, doing anything else that might possibly help to stop this? I don't just mean the demonstration that took place in London, and the others around the country - I mean serious numbers of people, making their voices heard. Because we will all suffer the very serious consequences of this mess.

To return to the OP. We certainly do have riots. Here's some pictures from this aftenoon from London. Pro Lennon Pro Trump and pro brexit I'm guessing. Have a good evening folks.

Not that it matters but lap dancing isn't anal rape. Weird turn this thread has taken.

So.....
How many carrots to a potato
And how many potatoes to a turnip?

We need to get this figured out pretty quickly if the world is going to end.

Surely carrots 'll get you more loo roll than a spud. Turnips are a bit of an acquired taste. But nice mashed with carrots. Ooo what a vegetable dilemma!

Whatthefoxgoingon · 14/07/2018 21:36

I’ll take a potato over a turnip any day Grin

My plan is to keep up patriotism and stave off madness by carving the Queen's face into the new vegcoins

bellinisurge · 14/07/2018 21:59

@CaptainKirkssparetupee - as good a plan as any.

Coating the Carrots in varnish will make them last longer.
