AIBU to ask what will actually happen on 29th March... Will we have John Snow narrating a countdown to armegedon? ?

[drivinmecrazy]

Genuine question. How do you think the media will cover it?
Will it be a countdown and then lights out?
Will it be programming as normal?
Will radio be playing poignant tunes?
I'm personally hoping the likes of the Mash Report and Last Leg will be on air to see me through

@littlebelina - yes, you’re right - sorry typing too fast to think properly - they both have that Mr Sheen face 😊

@Gormless I think you are about the only person who has made me laugh re Brexit.

If you in the SE I will come & join you, armed with olives.

My MEP emailed me last week to say that brexit is a mess and he want May to extend article 50 and call for a people's vote. He also updated me on current EU parliament business and all the money to prevent youth unemployment that we're going to miss out on.

So yes, MEPs are still doing their jobs.

Actually this could all potentially lead to the return of cholera - it's not beyond the bounds of imagination.

Sorry that was thinking about John snow, rather than my actual thoughts about what will happen on 29/3

Got a quick question if anyone knows the answer or has an opinion. I haven’t got a clue what’s going on.

Apply for daughters first passport now or wait til April?

now for applying for a passport. Because if we end up with No Deal everyone will need 6 months life on their passports for going over to mainland Europe. There's going to be a huge number of people who realise this late and clog up the system.

it shows how thick a major part of the population are.

Well aren’t you just charming.

Leaving with 'no deal' is not an end to the mess.

We cannot just stop trading with our nearest neighbours without serious harm/disruption - anyone who suggests we'd be OK has either not examined the facts or is insane.

So after a 'no deal' 29th our shambles of a government will collapse - we will have 5 weeks of unrest before an acrimonious election followed by a government attempting to negotiate a deal with a ticked off EU.

If we're really lucky we'll get a minimal deal that will put a floor under our descent to 8th/9th global economy. As jrm says in 50 years we ought to get back to where we are today - however the rest of the world will have had 50 years of growth/change and we will have shafted two generations of our children

And the fact that he will still be in a —highly overpayed and irrelevant— job has nothing to do with it, eh?

@Gormless That's amazing. First true laugh at this Brexit debacle.

Take the biscuit

How very cynical of you!

So if we don't hear from MEPs they aren't doing their job, if we do hear from them they are only doing it to keep their job?
The one I can see who definitely hasn't done his job is Farage.

@Triglesoffy Don't waste the pesto! That stuff'll be worth its weight in gold after Brexit Night.

@OhYouBadBadKitten

No it is just a little too convenient that he is talking about what a disaster brexit will be when it will keep him sipping cocktails and adding 0s onto his bank balance. Don’t get me wrong i am cocerened about the whole thing ,as those of you who so my preppers thread will know. But this is like taking a turkeys advice on wether or not to cancel Christmas.

We’ll all wake up on 30th March wearing England shirts & talking like Liam Gallagher.

*see no so

I’m glad to have brought some cheer! Afraid I’m in the Midlands but I like to think I have now sparked a national wave of Brexit resistance via the medium of olives, chorizo, Camembert and the retaliatory smearing of pesto. I may even invest in a black beret to do all this, in homage to our French friends and also Michelle of the Resistance in Allo Allo. Vive le resistance mes amis! Deploy the Brie!

*la resistance. Mon dieu.

the brexiteers who think brexit is saving us money are the most mind- boggling of them all.

I think the world is due for a shake up, maybe we are getting in first. The west has coasted on a capitalist society, first the U.K. selling stuff to the colonies and other countries , now it's China making and selling us everything. But the west wants less stuff. We also want less food waste/ animal products, So far developing countries let us exploit their oil and minerals, so we make money there, but the options are reducing and China taking over.
We need a big rethink. US is stopping the immigrants who used to do all the grafting, so big changes there.
Global warming will affect everything, changes needed there.

Yep, £80billion already squandered. Almost a decade of EU membership fees gone up the spout for this pointless crap. Apart from that all worth it.
Ode to Joy indeed.

Can I suggest we add to Gormless playlist with all the greatest products of the Eurovision Song Contest and cheesy Europop for the past however many years? If we can't sort this mess out with the politicians - maybe cheesy as fuck songs about getting together and sunshine and rainbows might help?

My kids have eaten all my bastard olives.

" There are a couple at work, when I tried to say WTO only covers goods and our economy is 80% services that relies on the single market, so what about that? No answer than 'it'll be fine'"

Another strong indicator that Brexit is purely an ideological cult movement, where 'facts' have no relevance.

Whatever way it goes, there's going to be a lot of unhappy people.

There will be even more happy people and I'll be cracking open a bottle of champagne to celebrate. It has been a long wait.
