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.

I am literally pissing myself laughing at some of the histrionic bollocks being spouted on here by EU supporters, and frothing remainers.

They're fucking hilarious. It's quite entertaining actually.

Hope there's going to be enough grips to go round....

I'm starting a brexit survival box,

Grips is in there, maybe some long life milk but add in some luxuries like quinoa, some form of gluten free, GMO free, vegan, free range, free trade food stuffs.

A hand crank USB-C charger so they can still post to instagram/facebook.

A copy of the New European

Need a few other bits though as it can't be too cheap.

Could be a bit of a money spinner.

Everyone here is flapping like a flock of wet hens.

Toodles percy pops! Don't let the door hit you on the way out!

lindalee3 I’ve got to say that manicUnicorn spoke sense. You, conversely are not

@lindalee, here you go, hun. Independent facts, though you seem not to like them. Have a read - you might learn something.

Well that descended quickly !
Just because one brexiteer has been on the English I repeat English gin

I work in a so-called service industry (like many others). Good luck to us for staying competitive.

@lindalee3 ah stop! I can't handle your intellect 'hunnie' you must have an IQ of 215!!! I mean you must be a sheer genius to know Mickey Mouse is running the EU and obviously we're gonna be 350mill a week better off! 🤣🤣🤣

Loving the research you've done and presented so perfectly to us mere mortals who haven't got a clue. Thanks so much, you're my hero

I suppose anyone agreeing with YOU @aintnothing is 'speaking sense?' Do me a favour.

@DemiGuise

What a load of shit on that link you posted. Better try harder hun.

nobody knows. Have a brew. Soon it'll be time to buy all the Christmas shite.

Nice one @demiguise but sadly I think your efforts will be wasted on @lindalee. If it's not in the Daily Mail she isn't interested...

I don't want to sound ageist. But it's the older generation who've done this.

no. Not a sweeping generalisation at all!!!

Said it earlier, we are well screwed

Lindalee - I voted Remain, but even I think for fucks sake, seriously, grips needed! Too far gone down the rabbit hole of hysteria some though to actually see any sense of perspective!

ANDDDDD here come the 'you read the Daily Mail' comments.

Right on cue.

You people NEVER fail to deliver

Soooooooooooo predictable.

As if you read the full CBI analysis in one minute

Bowing out now, but glad to see the prevailing sense of reason on the thread. OP, you're not alone.

lindalee no way is your IQ 205!

Allhavetodo - erm... no words. Seriously, you sound like you're going to self combust. Deep breath... in and out.

Well said @rainbowandsmiles. So much hilarious hysteria on here.

Fucking laughable.

linda

all you're doing is insulting people and spouting rhetoric though? how we supposed to know you're smart if you keep making it so difficult, eh? just wanna help mate...

No my IQ is not 205, I lied - it's 300.

The other day I found a link from an article in The Guardian to the statistics about how the votes in the referendum broke down. Thete was all sorts of analysis of the stats.

One I found very interesting compared areas of the country and how they voted in 1973 compared to this referendum. The areas of the country with the biggest % of votes to join Europe in 1973 -was it the Commn Market? - are the areas of the country with the biggest % of leave voters in this referendum. Some of them were quite staggering in how big the leave vote was.

There was some discussion about why the same areas who voted so positively to join now have voted so positively to leave. They also tend to be the areas which have suffered the most in terms of job losses, lack of investment, or those most affected by immigration without the infrastructure to support it - for example Lincolnshire, Yorkshire, the north west, Wales, Cornwall, Kent, the midlands, parts of East Anglia, parts of the north east.

Scotland and London and the counties to the immediate West of London were really the only strong remain votes. Areas of Kent and Essex voted very strongly to Leave.
