To ask for your Brexit predictions?

[Namingetiquette]

What do you think is going to happen on the 31st of October?

My thought is that the pound will equal 1 US dollar, inflation will be hellish, and everything will become much more expensive. I have heard people saying that others should wait to buy property because of maybe a crash? I don't think so though, I think property will become more expensive as a result of the pound becoming devalued. Savings accounts will be hurt the most.

What are your thoughts?

Interest rates will rise
Cost of imports will rise
Petrol will go through the roof
Taxes on exporters will rise
If you think we had austerity, you aint seen nuthin' yet.
EU citizens will not be 'deported' back, theyll be allowed to stay

The bottom 20% will see their incomes and wealth automatically triple on 1/11.

US and China will be so scared to be bullied by the UK the same way we did the EU that they'll give us everything we want without asking for anything in return.

Mars colonised by 2022.

We're not leaving on 31st October. And the fact the Pants-on-Fire Johnson avers that we are off anything makes it less likely!

FFS again.
A plague of locust will arrive at midnight.
All forinners will be rounded up and shot.
There will be no food, medicines, water or power.
The nhs will be sold for 5p.

The world will keep turning, people will still argue about brexit and remainers will carry on moaning that this should never of happened, leavers will be saying see nothing bad has happened. It will take a few weeks and months before anything really happens.

We wont see the promised land of ££££££ sent to schools and the nhs. We will see prices increase.

Other than that it is pure speculation. Who knows what will happen. The EU want us to fail as they are terrified more countries will jump ship if it goes ok for us.

I voted remain but just want us to get on with it now. It's happening, we have to deal with it at the time.

The world keeps turning and we see the effects over the coming months (assuming all goes to plan). A sudden recession won't just happen, the pound will probably job and prices will probably rise.

And a lot of people will say I told you so

I predict that whatever goes wrong, Boris will blame it on the EU. And most of the Brexiteers will believe him. And anybody criticising the brave new world in which we find ourselves will be labelled "unpatriotic ". Anyone complaining about a loss of job or money during the "short period of adjustment " will also be blamed for not embracing new possibilities.

Hopefully these fucking boring threads will stop popping up.

Pound down. Prices up. Employment down. House prices down. Shortages of imports. Everyone will be pissed off, apart from silverysurfer who will be able to drink the champagne she's had on ice for leaving.

“Hopefully these fucking boring threads will stop popping up.”

This! ^^

Hopefully these fucking boring threads will stop popping up.

Presumably a reason you feel uncomfortable? I don't drive and I think life is too short to bicker over parking, so I don't bother reading parking threads. I certainly don't post on them

I think Boris will resign before the 31st, stating that he cannot get the Brexit he wants through Parliament, saying he wants no part of a bad Brexit deal,
Or gets a no deal Brexit through by some means and immediately calls a GE, not wanting to be in charge if it goes tits up, heads he wins, tails he wins

Hopefully these fucking boring threads will stop popping up.

And yet the title of this post made it clear what it was about. Why read it?

The Guardian will implode into an incoherent, frothing rage (pretty much same as every day).

@Hester54 i think you are right. He will be a useless coward twice.

We will fall into a pile of shit.
This country deserved better.
Sorry I don't have any positive guesses, I'm sure it'll be worse than now and fucking unnecessary.

Immediately on 31st Oct, not that much. A few issues in the next few weeks like food shortages. In the next few months there will be price rises, especially on food, interest rate rises, and civil unrest when people who voted for it realise it's a bad idea. They won't blame themselves. I think the civil unrest will be the worst feature, but there'll also be job losses and a housing crash.

Yup potentially the most significant event to hit the country at the end of october is boring and can only be discussed in a relatively niche area of the site

Lots of people who voted Leave will start denying they ever voted for this.

I think many people will be terrified and lie on the ground through fear as if something was hurtling through space toward us we can't stop.

And the media will whip everything into a frenzy. There may be odd panic buying and may be some lorries queuing somewhere but oddly, nothing will change apart from the pound tanking etc.

The really rocky part will emerge after a few months. Unexpected consequences not thought of will crop up. Instead of all getting together to nail them, mps will waste more hours blaming each other.

And then it will all calm down, we will get through it, and we will carry on the world will still turn and we will be OK.

On the 31st Oct a few people with fling open their bedroom curtains/turn on the news fully expecting the sky to have actually fallen down.

The one to watch is inflation. The Bank of England will be under pressure to keep interest rates near zero. This will give a false sense of security.

At the same time people's personal inflation, the inflation that people actually feel in their lives, ie regarding food and fuel, could be running at 20-25%. Ouch.

Autumn can you explain that? How would people feel inflation if there isnt any? I confess i dont understand.

I think the following will happen:

The rich continue to get richer.

Politicians and their mates will get richer

Politicians continue to lie/blame each other/play games/serve themselves

Everyone deals with life as normal with the crumbs left over.

In short...nothing new.

These threads will be busier and more numerous than ever.
