To feel terrified after reading the prepping for Brexit threads?

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.

Inigo - you may want a country where people are only allowed to vote unless they vote "the right way" but I don't. You've done it wrong, keep voting until you do it right! Hmm No.

It was the “are you a native English speaker “ thing

InigoMontoyaWillcox · 29/07/2018 02:10

But that's my point! No-one knows what the fuck is going on! Why take the chance? Can anyone tell me what is so important about Brexit that it is worth risking lives? Because on all available evidence so far, this govt is in the running for managing biggest fuckup in the history of fuckups! It's utter madness!

Aintnothingbutaheartache - it's ok, it's one of our bridge dwelling friends Wink Not even worth acknowledging.

Ihatemycar - that's OK Smile

I think I’m developing Stockholm syndrome 😳 I’m warming to rainbows

rainbowsandsmiles · 29/07/2018 02:15

Ain'tnothing - aw thanks (I think lol, will pretend I can't see the Stockholm syndrome bit Grin

Aintnothingbutaheartache · 29/07/2018 02:15

Yeah wasn’t being rude!

InigoMontoyaWillcox · 29/07/2018 02:16

But rainbows - there is already evidence that the vote was interfered with by outside agents. One campaign group broke the law. Apart from that, it is now clear that no-one in charge has any idea what they are doing and they are setting this country on a dangerous route. It was an advisory referendum. It was non-binding. It absolutely is not anti-democratic to stop this now.

If Brexit is stopped (and I think that unlikely btw, hence my panic and fear), then there would likely be another general election, where people can make their views on that known.

Well, I think we can all agree GRU language training isn't what it was.

"Outside agents"

ujnepkoztarsasag · 29/07/2018 02:20

What purge would that be, ihatemycar?

Aintnothingbutaheartache · 29/07/2018 02:22

ihatemycar I’m not in the least bit interested in discussing your opinions on trade, insulin etc.
My point was that you were deeply rude to someone who has very real fears about her child.
It’s not nice to call someone a moron you dick

rainbowsandsmiles · 29/07/2018 02:26

It's not nice to call someone a moron you dick?! No, but neither is calling someone a dick! Grin Kind of lost the moral high ground there with your telling off lol

Not in the least bit interested in listening to opinions on insulin, trade, etc? That's an interesting comment as you were adamant that you were all ears and wanting to listen, really, honest. Just proved right there why you are not listening, despite your protest to the contrary. You pretend you are until there's a trap fall.

Aintnothingbutaheartache · 29/07/2018 02:30

Come on rainbows that was funny😉
ihatemycar bridge dwelling implies a troll, also, I hate your car too

You're doing yourself no favours. You're proving more and more it's obsessive, scare mongering, doom laden catastrophism and you have no intention of listening to anything that anyone says if be they refuse to say anything different to "it's MADNESS, I tell you. MADNESS!!!!!"

Aintnothingbutaheartache · 29/07/2018 02:35

Thank you ihatemycar for your kind words.
You have warmed my heart. It was also really thoughtful of you to send that in an email, precious

rainbowsandsmiles · 29/07/2018 02:36

That was to ain'tnothing by the way

Did the word ‘madness pass my lips?
