To ask if those panicking about Brexit realise they've been had?

[Growingboys]

Honestly, it's pathetic.

This is Project Fear mark 2, spin designed to stop Brexit happening. Politicians and wonks hope that if they spread enough fear around, which is what all these ridiculous 'prepping' threads are, they will stop us leaving the EU.

Everybody needs to calm the fuck down, stop digging their underground food stores/adding some more tins to the Ocado order, and realise this is spin, pure and simple. The world will continue to turn, and food will continue to be on supermarket shelves, regardless of what happens with Brexit.

I am very sad at the lack of sense and backbone so many people are showing here, regardless of views on Brexit.

I'm off to have a gin and put my feet up. I might even eat something from my freezer tonight rather than save it for armageddon #dicingwithdeath

I think it’s quite telling that posters have often mistaken sarcastic posts to be a Brexiteer being serious.
It’s hard to know what’s real anymore and they are still posting about Y2K and banging on about how we were told that planes would fall out of the sky and premature babies would die due to all the power in hospitals going off and how everyone was wrong and scaremongering then so the same must be true of Brexit.
It doesn’t matter how many times they are told that years of planning went into Y2K and that thousands of people worked on it and that’s why nothing happened.

I feel mild fury when folk talk about "We might get no deal by accident ". There is No Accident. Incompetence, lies and fairy tales yes! Accident, No.

Not an accident. It’s a predictable surprise - something that can be reasonably anticipated and prevented.

Most people don't plan accidents 8 months in advance.

That video isn't funny (imho) but it does a really good job of explaining "Why we can't just go back to what it was like before we joined the EU" (answer = expired hundreds of bilateral agreements that applied then, can't be negotiated overnight, plus no trade deals for countries that didn't exist 40 yrs ago).

Also ("trade") talking about why the poor countries of the world can't make up for the buying power of the rich ones (most of which are in EU).

Fucking hell!
If we go with a no deal we are in an absolutely appalling situation!
All you brexiters bleating on about scaremongering! Are you even vaguely aware that the entire Brexit campaign was based on scaremongering?!
Face bloody facts!

Yup!

Doomed we're all doomed

More zombie threads. Thanks to Johnson caving over NI, we aren't in a No Deal scenario. Wait until 31 December 2020. Wonder what he will cave in over avoid No Deal then.

Bless, people actually think brexit is done.

@GhostofFrankGrimes, the (wilfully) blind leading the blind. Heaven help us.

(Not that I much believe in Heaven, but it's probably more likely than the mythical sunlit uplands of Boris's Brexit 😉)

Still haven't left. At least eleven months of BRINO, maybe more.

The Guardian is reporting johnson will play hard ball in the trade negotiations so expect the same pathetic willy waving as the last 3 years and few more cliff edges. Groundhog day.

johnson will play hard ball in the trade negotiations...

The equivalent would be, the amateur punter who has withdrawn his life savings is going to play hardball with the Las Vegas Casino.

This will not be a negotiation of equals.

I know some leavers have an over inflated sense of worth when it comes to the UK, but seriously it isn't the centre of the universe.
