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

Oh God, are you serious? You don't know that people have actually already lost jobs because of Brexit?

I despair.

Anyhoo, in true BeLeaver style I’m stockpiling this:

bacstabbath that only holds true if there's a deal. If we crash out there is no transition.
The transition period is to enable the move from one form of relationship to another.
With no deal, there is no relationship, therefore no transition. Over night the shit hits the fan. I'm glad I don't live in Kent.

How many times do I have to say that branston beans are the king of beans..

Wonders whether JRM moving his business to Ireland is the millionaire version of stockpiling beans and shows a lack of brexit backbone.......

Sorry I spelt you name incorrectly!

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

Can you tell that to the staff I had to lay off within 8 months of the referendum as a direct result of Brexit? I’ve had to return to a job that nearly killed me because Brexit ruined my business. Some businesses are not Brexit proof.

I can't find a stock image of a tin bean fort.

I'm gutted.

RTB I got mine from a second hand shop, it opens up a whole array of edible clothing options - sheepskin car coats, 70s leather bomber jackets, Afghan coats (although I remember these tended to be a bit smelly, especially when wet).

Oh God, are you serious? You don't know that people have actually already lost jobs because of Brexit?

Just what I was thinking...

when it's patently clear that the Brexit vote has made all of our children's futures far, far less bright is sickening.

because........?

And I mean with facts and figures please that are absolute certainties.

You don't know that people have actually already lost jobs because of Brexit?

The rules of this boardgame are slightly obscure. It's the "Nothing bad could possibly be due to Brexit because Sunlit Uplands No Downsides" card, which logically ought not be played in conjunction with the "We knew we were voting for things to be hard because Sovereignty and SomethingBlitzSpirit" gambit but with some jiggery-pokery can be forced together with "Brexit was meant to be wonderful but PunishmentBullyingEU and NegativeThinkingTraitorRemoaners killed the unicorns".

RedToothBrush Neither. Branston beans are the best... but they don't have ring pulls, so you'll need tin openers to flog alongside.

It will be produced in the UK...

The stupidity of many Brexiteers never fails to surprise me.

Well I glad you've never had a child with a lifelong illness, that's difficult to manage.

He's on the ONLY medication that has stabilised him, without it, he'd have untold amount of seizures, that can damage his brain and possibly kill him. Don't you fucking dare question my parenting. It must be great sitting in your ivory tower.

It has already been brought up with his specialist, and really, he has no answer either. Hopefully, the drug will be available when we leave but we don't know.

We cannot stockpile either for more than a couple of months, due to the rules on prescriptions.

Well put Elements.

Whilst you can stockpile beans, you wont be able to stockpile essential medicines as the NHS prescription system wont let you.

If we don't sort out a solution to the medicines supply chain post brexit then some people who depend on them may die. This might sound like scaremongering, but it is what the much derided experts are predicting.

FWIW, UK pharma have little confidence in government ministers, who up to very recently have had their heads very firmly buried in the sand on this issue. They have only just started listening and have left it rather late to put in place workable solutions in the event of a no deal.

@SusanWalker do your research please. JRM is not moving his business to Ireland. He is setting up a fund in Ireland. I think he already has an existing fund in Ireland that was created in the 90s too. His business also has other funds in other countries around the world (yes, outside the EU! Imagine that). If you don't know anything about asset management, funds, etc., it's best not to comment.
Just for the record I'm no JRM fan but saying he is moving Somerset Capital Management to Ireland is "fake news".

I aspire to this.

Its epic.

whisky it was as a direct result of the referendum. But thanks for the apology! It will, however, all be worth it for that blue passport though.

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

It wasnt people who voted remain saying it

because........? And I mean with facts and figures please that are absolute certainties

You sound awfully sensible with exceptional critical thinking.

I'll go away and compile a file for you now. Although, if people believed the Vote Brexit 'facts and figures', I assume any old meaningless toss will do?

I am not panicking. I will also be absolutely thrilled to be proved wrong WRT food supply lines after Brexit actually happens, as my grocery bills will be significantly reduced for a while. I'm not buying lots of crap we wouldn't normally eat. It's all on my usual grocery list. The only thing I plan to start doing differently is growing a bit of veg in a few pots in the yard & on the windowsills - which I've done previously & only stopped because I got lazy / too busy to look after it properly. I like homegrown veg.

Not all of us Remainers are just whinging doom-mongers, as has previously been claimed. Some of us are trying to be positive. I've seen a lot of positive Remainer posts. Isn't that what prepping is about - being positive in a less than ideal situation.

I'm particularly enjoying the constant references to the blitz. Apparently, that's all we need to aspire to... As long as it won't be as bad as a world war, surely we should be greatful.

And of course the Y2K references are still quite funny. Although not quite as good.

I think he already has an existing fund in Ireland that was created in the 90s too.

Impressive given that Somerset Capital Management was set up in 2007. It has just opened its second Dublin based fund (both opened this year).

YANBU. It's both weird and pathetic.
