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.

All the NOBODY KNOWS answers , don't the posters saying this think that somebody should know ?

The situation is that it's the age old situation of media drumming sensationalist narrative to drum up business, so we have a situation with the military scenario

Step 1: Minister responds to innocuous question:

The minister said: ‘There is a lot of civil contingency planning around the prospect of no deal.

Step 2: Twisted exaggeration from zealot Remainer:

‘God, help us. This is not coming from Remainers. This is not project fear. ‘Pro-Brexit ministers are drawing up blueprints for the army to deliver food, fuel and medicine if we leave the EU with no dea

Step 3: The exaggeration is then reported at face value and used as a way to yet again call for Brexit to be cancelled

Same with banking, a lot of anecdotal data on MN, yet they fail to mention the CBI's report that the second quarter this year was up ~20% in financial recruitment, and ignores a shed load of investment in the city, yet according to some they are all going to close up shop and disappear.

Someone posted the other day that the death of the high street is because of Brexit, despite it being a well known world wide problem for well over a decade.

We also have people on this thread insinuating that we should not take a significant supplier of our medicines at face value when they said they are not worried about a no deal brexit, purley because it doesn't fit their politically driven narrative. And I will put money on that person using the don't believe in experts meme in the past.

There is a mindset that certain people only see what they want to, and just ramp up the fear mongering rhetoric whilst asking the faux innocent questions of can someone just tell me and still pretend they themselves just work on facts.

I'm a strong remainer, but it's not going to be reverted so a shitty change.org petition is not going to change it, and if it does we will be kicking the can down the road for a few years and the real far right will take hold which will make brexit look like rainbows and unicorns after 50% of the referundum voting public lose trust in traditional politics.

Just another - absolutely that, agree. Especially the mindset part and the faux innocent questions.

I think 'the real far right' have already taken a hold, hence Brexit

If we crash out with no deal it will have far reaching consequences.
I know it’s a very emotive subject but really, it is bloody scary.
I’d also like to reiterate that having a pop at mums who are, rightly, concerned about medication for their children is not acceptable.
There is a very real fear, especially now that the government are talking about the armed forces being on standby for water, supplies etc.
And to those who voted out who are now banging on about scaremongering, the whole bloody Brexit campaign was based on scaremongering. Now there’s something to be truly scared about

AllIHave New Zealand has already rejected just rolling over our EU deal and tariff splitting. Unfortunately we don't seem to be very prepared.

rainbows don’t leave me hanging here

TIL Jeremy Corbyn, Morning Star are the real far right

We can ignore Blaire and LD running on manifestos of having the EU referendum and we can ignore that both Labour and Cons were worried that UKIP essentially came third taking votes from both parties in 2010.

It shows your ignorance of politics and your idea of far right are more than likely more a perception on said ignorance.

rainbows has gone to sleep. Eventually it had to happen!

EU trade deal with japan finalised.

www.bbc.com/news/business-44857317

Looks like the EU won't really care whether we're a member state or not.

keyboardkate 🤣 yeah, she must have exhausted!

All,

The Japan deal is happening because the EU has the traction to agree this. And obviously Japan is delighted too.

I hope the UK will eventually understand that their hubris will not mean trade agreements within 24 hours of leaving.

Ummm I think francine you've said some pretty unforgiveable things before you responded to the direct approach to you. Maybe take a chill pill as you are so confident?

We live in SE Kent. The implications of even Operation Stack paralyse most of the county. A no deal will make that even even worse - and it will be everyone's insulin, meds, food, car parts etc etc that are caught up.

Ain'tnothing, it's been made perfectly clear you have no intention of listening, even came out and said "I'm not interested" when someone answered. So nice try. Again.

Justanother - I suppose Matey boy, Nigel Farage is a centrist ey? Nope he was as Eurosceptical as they come. And a far-right winger. And guess what? His spin on the EU as well as the Leave campaign worked. And you have the nerve to call me ignorant. Run along.

I'm glad your daughter manages well. It's a relentless and tough condition and I've had it since childhood myself.

Intrigued as to what kind of patient you think I am, but gonna give you a free pass as you're clearly emotional and lashing out.

I am not advocating hysteria. Far from it. You aren't being rational here.

I have simply never seem a parent so relaxed about even the slightest whiff of the idea of their child not having enough insulin. Hence I found your posts, so dismissive of another parent of a type 1 who was worried and posting for support, hard to believe.

It is wise for all people with type 1 to have an extra prescription filled. That's not hysteria.

Yeah I am pretty chill when it comes to dealing with my daughter's condition. But if you fucking accuse me of lying about it i will be the fucking opposite nof chill.

rainbows seriously?
Until you actually come out with anything that makes even a modicum of sense............I’m listening, always have been, still am.
Ears open.
You’re actually getting a little bit boring now cos it’s just the same old

Woops, tensions are getting high.

And just a few months to go too.

EU signs free trade deal with Mexico.

Also Singapore and Canada added to that list recently. Look what we could have won...

@AllIHaveToDo

Shifting the goalposts and strawmanning I see, still, tell me how Jeremy Corbyn and Morning Star are far right...

Ignore rainbows, they're obviously high on life and rainbows and unicorns and mermaids and all manner of things that aren't in the real world.

@FrancinePefko42 You are being utterly irresponsible if you are telling other parents of type 1s that there is nothing to fear! I hope you are not on a Diabetes UK helpline spouting that shit.

You called me "politically motivated" this morning, which was a CUNTISH thing to acuse a fellow mother of a type 1 worried about supply lines for insulin of being.

Hae you even got an ounce of decency in your being perhaps take back your accusation that I had lied about my daughter's condition. ?
