So relieved to hear it's not 'the end of the world'

[Figmentofmyimagination]

So that's alright then.

Takes 'controlling expectations' to a whole new level.

Yes we're not all going to die horribly next march. So what on earth are we all whining about?

With a no deal, crash out scenario I will be getting concerned for the safety of my pets by the end of April.
MN can have a whole new thread for recipes for cat/dog/rabbit casseroles.

Yes, the regular "I've found an injured bird/hedgehog/rabbit, what should I do?" will take a very different tack.

So it might be a bit pants, but won’t cause a total collapse of society and will surely bring some benefits, like um, blue passports?

Great

You're all a bunch of whingey Remoaning snowflakes who don't respect your elders! Don't you all know that any amount of hardship will be good for the nation's backbone and Somethingsomething BlitzSpirit?

And unless we get to the point where the Earth looks like this, Brexit is by definition a Success!

It would be good to see Arthur Dent, the 'Jeremy Corbyn' figure but somehow a lot nicer.

That's a relief - as a passionate Remoaner I was convinced the world would explode in a ball of fire on Brexit Day.

Still a bit twitchy though that the PM hasn't reassured us that no one will starve to death.

Oh brilliant. I was just worrying about the end of days, but now I feel much better.

So 'sunlit uplands' became

'the exact same benefits as we have now' which became

'adequate food supplies' which changed to

'enough lettuce' and now

'we won't all die'

It's not very encouraging. Where will we be by March next year? 'Some may die but not as many as in WW2 and we survived that'? Or 'the strong will feast on the flesh of the weak and Britain will be great again'?

60 years ago Venezuela had a GDP similar to Germany and with vast mineral resources could have sustained fantastic growth and a good life for all.
Governmental failings and corruption has got it to the state where the people are walking hundreds of miles to leave Venezuela just to find food, let along a good sustainable lifestyle.
The UK cannot be self sufficient in food, there is not enough land area to produce enough for the population so it HAS to trade.
With the Borris's 'F business' and no really good, workable plans coming from anywhere it is right to be concerned.

It was supposed to be more than that - we were supposed to have people queuing up to do trade deals, and more.

How 'two faced' is it for Mrs May to be saying to African schoolchildren that she hopes some will come to the UK to go to university?
Come half way around the world to pay loads of money to a British university and be surrounded by far too many who see others with different skin shades as 'enemies'.

It was supposed to be more than that - we were supposed to have people queuing up to do trade deals, and more.

I'm going to do a Doctor Who-esque squiggly hand gesture and gravely inform you that "time can be rewritten" - we must now accept that Leavers have allegedly always known that they specifically voted for "not as bad as Armageddon because BlitzSpirit will be good for national backbone" (and yet also that no bad news whatsoever could even remotely be associated with Brexit).

Of course it wont mean the end of the world.
T.May is a multi millionaire and will continue to get the latest advancements in medicine, such as the diabetic flash glucose monitoring patch she wears, a treatment not available to all in the UK.

Oh yeah? Who has said this?

Who has said what? That it won't mean the end of the World? Theresa May herself, unless the BBC reports are a pack of lies.

Thanks for the clarification! Hadn’t seen her say that. Well if that’s the way Theresa thinks it’s going to be, I’ll plan a nice day out at the beach with donkeys, sunshine and ice cream and let the joy of Brexit just wash over me.

We want Canada model! said David Davis. And TTIP! And more trade with the commonwealth.

I love these juicy tidbits Does anyone seriously believe that Britain, the fifth largest economy in the world, would not be able to negotiate by itself at least as successfully as Switzerland?...Our creative industries, our financial services and legal services are some of the best in the world. It seems certain that they would be included in any trade deal negotiated by the UK.

So guess what, who knew other than the 16.1 million who voted Remain that Britain can't even rise the dizzy heights of Swiss standards of success.

Of course the 'bleeding obvious' solution would be to say 'hang on, we ARE a developed nation, roughly equivalent to France/Germany/Belgium/Holland/etc so why don't we accept this and just play along'.

Sorry, the warm weather has got to me.

And SO MANY MORE people were going to be fighting to come here, we were going to need a points based immigration system just so we could pluck the very best and brightest from all over the world to come and pick our fruit.

I feel all better now.

Shall book my flights for next Easter and not sacrifice my first born

I'm sure the world will be absolutely fine, its only this tiny island that will be thoroughly screwed!

If it weren’t so serious it would be funny.

So we’ve gone from sunlit uplands to ‘not the end of the world’

Even that comment is arrogant; the ‘world’ was never going to be hugely affected by our stupidity.
