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

Providing, even.

It's catching.

Presume this thread was started so that I have some people to chuckle at. Was getting bored of being sensible and practical.
@TheShapeOfEwe - thank you.

Do you mind proving the English translation for this?

Yes your fucking loons

But in post brexit apocalypse we won’t need grammer

It must be rather relaxing, being too stupid to worry

They say the most vulnerable group to conspiracy and cults are the middle class and thinking people

I intend to eat out if the stores are empty

Apologies if this has been covered but isn't there an agreed 2-4 year transition period starting on 29.3.19, so won't this debate just carry on till 2023.

🤣

Oh so I was worrying about nothing?

Stupid me the remainer thinking what'll happen if I can't get ds prescriptions and his seizures hospitalise him

I think Brexit will be a disaster for the economy but believe significant food shortages are an unlikely, worst case scanrio. If the government is encouraging it, it’s probably not a bad idea to do some stockpiling, but it’s a safety net that’s unlikely to be needed.

Medicines though, I have no idea.

When the pound tanked after the referendum it was remainers fault for “talking down the economy”. Now stockpiling is remainers attempt to scare monger or undermine Brexit. Whatever happens it’ll never have anything to do with leavers.

UK government shelves plan to publicise no deal preparations in case it turns public against Brexit (via ⁦*@ShippersUnbound*⁩)

I admit I find some posters here, most amusing. When people like Peter Ungphakorn@CoppetainPU who has spent two decades working for the WTO are struggling to work out the implications of Brexit and 'falling back on WTO terms' for the UK, and whether that will be possible because the politics of it are all so complicated, I raise a smile.

We were told Brexit would be easy.

Whether you are leave or remain, that has ALREADY been proved to be very much the lie. We've had 2 years arguing over it precisely because its not easy.

The idea that falling back onto WTO terms will also be easy, is just the same.

Regardless of where we go from here, until everyone admits and realises that Brexit is a complex thing for which there are no easy solutions and answers and compromises will have to be made we will have problems.

Everyone crowing about the non event of the Y2K bug you do realise that was because of an enormous amount of preparation and work to resolve the issue. I know this as I spent many an evening patching servers to remediate the bug.

Where’s the preparation for Brexit or for no deal?

I'm not panicking. I'm just deeply sad that people look at the kind of dog eat dog society they have in America, and think its preferable to the one we used to have here.

Agree

As a remainer living in a democratic world, I respect the result. Even if it just scraped by. I just want what's best for the uk. I am, however, entitled to worry how the hell I can access the drugs needed for my ds when even at the moment they are coming in from the eu, as there are no stocks in the uk.

I'm pleased at your nonchalance, OP. Glad my husband lost his job due to Brexit.

Cheers, thanks a lot.

Important question:
Heinz or own brand beans?

And how many should I get so I can flog some on ebay for a tenner?

Not read the whole thread, but I’m sure OP will enjoy riding in to the sunny uplands on her unicorn.
Easiest trade deal to negotiate in history my arse. The brexiters in the cabinet are fucking imbeciles, as is anyone that can’t see the blindingly obvious by now.

What I don't think you know how economics works.

Sadly, I don’t have a Boden umbrella. I do have a pair of Boden leather trousers that I could fashion into some sort of sling shot, or failing that I could possibly eat them? They couldn’t taste worse than biltong, could they?

Or speling, aparently.

I read on another Brexit thread that you could boil them up for stock.

Just be sure to take the labels out first.

If you really honestly think this then why the fuck as his mother have you not made an appointment with his consultant to discuss how to ensure his continued wellbeing? Why on earth have you instead chosen to post on mumsnet?

I'm pleased at your nonchalance, OP. Glad my husband lost his job due to Brexit.

I’m sorry but if he has lost his job already then I’m afraid brexit is being used as an excuse.

This is getting really silly now people. It’s losing all sense of reason.

Our children and our grandchildren will suffer the consequences of Brexit and will in all likelihood despise our generation for this vote.

The sneering idiocy that prevails on these threads, when it's patently clear that the Brexit vote has made all of our children's futures far, far less bright is sickening.

Shit.

I don't know where the nearest Boden is. I can't stockpile those leather trousers just in case.

Brexit Prepping has failed!
