To feel terrified after reading the prepping for Brexit threads?

[LittleNapRefuser]

I have genuinely cried real tears of fear after reading the threads on prepping for Brexit today. I have a toddler and right now I am terrified of what is to come and their future after all this.

I don't really have anyone to talk to about this in 'real life' because most people I know aren't reading the news or don't seem to care.

Should I be terrified? Should I be scared for my baby's future? Can anyone reassure me or offer me an alternative perspective on all this. I don't want to to put my head in the sand but I feel really afraid.

Exactly - nobody knows what is going to happen! Nobody knows if they are going to have enough medication to stay alive!

Nobody knows why on earth we are continuing with this madness!

NOBODY KNOWS!

Greenpeace bemoan overfishing in UK waters and think that Brexit presents an opportunity to address this.

From Greenpeace:

"For a long time, the EU has been blamed for all of the mismanagement of the UK’s fishery. Now that the UK is leaving the EU, the time has come to address problems closer to home, and ensure that the biggest shakeup of UK fishing in over 40 years is not missed as an opportunity to revive our seas and coastal towns."

You do realise that you repeat yourself quite a lot? You could be a politician because you avoid answering anything directly and just stick to a stale premise.
I really can’t express how many times I’ve said I’m listening and you persist in telling me that I will not listen to anyone else’s opinions when you don’t actually give any.

Brexit people NEVER explained anything either before or after the vote. Nor had they a clue as to what would happen apart from giving the Establishment a kick.

And they still cannot do it. Talk about a persecution/victim complex to suggest that people might challenge them on it now that the clock is ticking!

All bluff and bluster and a defence mechanism of do not challenge me.EVER.

OK. We get it. You do not know what will happen. Neither does anyone else. But at least the Remain side would not have to worry about Trade Deals, lack of food and medicines, shortages, delays at ports and so on.

Sometimes the status quo is a good thing.

If you can rebut that, I am all ears.

Oh apart from your very clear opinion that I’m wrong, abusive and insulting.
Rude much?

Maybe if the consequence of a leave vote wasn't as drastic as people potentially dying, people wouldn't be angry and insulting?

Can anyone tell me why we are continuing with Brexit when we can't guarantee that people won't die because of it?

Why do I have to worry about whether there will be enough insulin to keep my son alive? I'd really, genuinely, like to know.

People of Britain: How will we feed ourselves from April 2019?

Brexiters: We have no idea but it will somehow be fine. Oh, and sovereignty. And things were OK in 1973.

People of Britain: FUUUCK!!!

Ain'tnothing - yes, I am repeating myself, because it just isn't going in with you. You keep asking why so I keep having to repeat. Pages and pages of "we're doomed" "it's shit" "what have we done" isn't that all pages and pages of the same stuff round and round in circles scaring yourselves silly? Circular. Round and round

Any Leave voters reading this - I'd really like you to consider this consequence.

There might be no insulin for my son (for any of the diabetics in the UK). He might die.

That's what your Brexit means.

Can anyone tell me why we are continuing with Brexit?! Seriously?! Because that is what the outcome WAS! People voted to Leave, you can't just say "sorry, you voted wrong, let's either do it again or pretend it didn't happen." We may not like the result, but it HAPPENED. You can either run round in circles saying the sky is going to fall in or get on with it the best we can.

No encouragement, no justifications, no explanations, no positives, no.... just bright sunny uplands from the Brexiteers. Must be bots, because everyone is afraid now and thinking WTF is this all for? Still no answer incoming!

People are waking up. Be afraid. Very afraid of a backlash regarding this potential disaster.

@rainbowsandsmiles - I note you keep ignoring my question. I'd dearly love not to be "scaring myself silly".

Why?

Indigo - sorry about your son, seriously I am. Passive aggressive guilt tripping people with a different political view point to you though is the exact reason there's never going to be reasons put across. Because people aren't listening, or if they pretend they are, and somebody falls for it, that's what they get. Incapable of reasoned debate. Just insults.

Waffle waffle waffle. Again. FFS.

Sure, I'll get on with it "the best I can" while I watch my son go into DKA and die, shall I?

The people might vote to collectively jump off a cliff - we don't all follow like lemmings! The govt has a duty first and foremost to keep its citizens safe. Fulfilling a dodgy vote does not fulfil that duty!

It's been said elsewhere, but in 10 years time you won't be able to find anyone in the UK who admits to having voted Leave.

rainbows I’m not entirely sure what it is you’re trying to get across to me. I get that you are a very angry person, although I’m not really sure at what. Maybe it’s me. I’m just trying to understand what, if any, the benefits are. You can’t tell me. And from what you’ve said nobody can.
Which takes us right back to the beginning doesn’t it.
We as a country are in a right mess.
It’s very scary.
People are worried about their kids health.
They are worried about their jobs, money, food etc
We are in a crisis and having a pop at me because I believe that those who voted to leave were foolish and misinformed is not very constructive

Oh look, now we have the must be bots. Makes a change from conspiracy theories.

If you had any reasoned debate in your brain to justify Brexit, I would never have called you a bot. But in the absence of that I am afraid I must do so.

This isn't just politics though. It's peoples lives.

There has to come a point where we realise it is madness, absolute madness, to be continuing with this.

Ain'tnothing - I'm not angry far from it. Your attacking others for saying they voted Leave makes it seem like you're the tad angry one.

YOU think it's madness, absolute madness. Lots of other people clearly don't. You can't just say " right we're not going through with it because I don't want it to."

That's not even grammatical.

It makes no sense to be terrified. This country was ok before the EU and will be ok after.
The EU isn't a successful institute. It's corrupt and inefficient.
If it was great Greece would be successful but it isn't.
How do other countries manage without the EU? Very well.
They aren't our saviours. Believe in the UK. We are better than the corrupt EU.

Inigo you've overplayed your hand. No-one will answer your question because as soon as that level of emotion is brought in then there can be no rational discussion.
For example: why should we be bound by EU emissions standards when X amount of lives could be saved with tighter controls? As soon as the debate descends to this, the debate ends.
