I keep reading post about brexit And prepping and they seem to be crazy. Why are people creating so much hysteria around this. I can’t see how it would be beneficial to other countries to let it get in the state some posters are suggesting.

So Anna Soubry and Nicky Morgan, or Ken Clarke to name three are leftwing are they because they want Remain, but Corbyn is right wing because he's a Lexiter? Have I understood correctly?

user1981287 · 29/10/2018 14:45

for all their left wing pretensions

Ha! I’m a lawyer and mix with lots of lawyers bankers accountants etc, none of whom are known as groups with left wing tendencies, the vast majority of whom voted remain because we have thought about the financial impact on the country! We will be going into a recession. That is not good for anyone!

remainers are very much invested in using EU migration to protect their wealth and keep those uppity gammon working classes

You still believe Jacob reesmogg, boris and Farage want to make life better for the wc people of this country? I would be embarrassed to be as stupid as you.

No wealth here to protect. Just a family that I don't want to have dumped in the shit.
Disaster capitalism is triumphant thanks to Leave voters.

I'm with you. It'll be alright. It's a bit like the year 2000 when everyone reckoned on the world ending on 1 jan. nothing actually happened 😂

Prepping for medicines is a good call just in case but it won't be necessary.

Bingo card filled ..... HOUSE

Peregrina · 29/10/2018 16:08

Oh dear another Y2K numpty. It didn't cause a problem because we spent at least 4 years preparing for it. If a quarter of the work had gone into preparing for Brexit it would be a little less worrying.

I can't see why anyone reliant on medication isn't prepping for it. If the worse comes to the worse, it means you have a stock in.

bellinisurge · 29/10/2018 16:19

Darvit! Got beaten in the bingo!

Hazardswan · 29/10/2018 16:28

Hang on....

If it's a good call to keep some extra meds then its not a leap to say it would also be a good call to keep some extra food in?

Meds and good are facing similar disruption at ports.

Parker231 · 29/10/2018 16:57

For those who are saying that prepping food and medicine won’t be necessary, what do you know that I don’t? How is Brexit and in particular, the Irish border going to be sorted out?

frumpety · 29/10/2018 18:25

Ooooh Ginger you are good , wasted on here in fact Grin

threetrees come please do explain why immigration not really changing except where folk come from is the fault of the EU ? I mean it must be, as everything else wrong with the UK is their fault.

Anti-preppers, Winter 2009-2010, just saying Smile

frumpety · 29/10/2018 18:38

Too beautiful not to repeat :

For all their left wing pretensions, remainers are very much invested in using EU migration to protect their wealth and keep those uppity gammon working classes in their place so they don't get any ideas about living wages or decent conditions or rights.

Except those 'uppity gammon working classes' haven't seen a government institute a 'living wage' it is something some aspire to but certainly not at present a definite. Decent conditions, well its all bleeding red tape and 'elf and safety innit , we will be well shot of that outside the EU. Rights let me introduce you to Henry VIII powers , toodlepip Grin

BolleauxtoBankers · 29/10/2018 18:43

Good grief, why isn't there MORE hysteria round Brexit? Simply for the problem of the renegeing on the Good Friday Agreement and the possible return to "The Way We Were" before the GFA brought (more or less) stability to Northern Ireland - let alone all the rest of the economic, social, cultural, medical and academic cobblers England will undergo if Brexit has its way.

frumpety · 29/10/2018 18:53

Bolleaux tis the English way, never admit you are wrong and don't panic until the poo seeps out of your trouser leg/you can see the whites of their eyes, whichever comes first Smile

Obviously the first scenario becomes a little more urgent in the case of wearing plus fours

Gingerrogered · 29/10/2018 19:15

Its almost as if unions don't exist isn't it? Remember now it was the right that curtailed union powers.

You know, I remember when the Tories left power in 1997. Affordable housing to buy or rent, social housing available. People were generally employed, there were no zero hours contracts or enforced self employment.

Funnily enough those things all happened under a Labour government. And the Unions did fuck all about it.
Their public sector membership was laughing. Why should they have cared about people on building sites or in factories or care homes?

frumpety · 29/10/2018 19:17

So it isn't the fault of the EU, its all New Labours fault ?

frumpety · 29/10/2018 19:25

Remind me again Ginger what the unemployment figures are currently ?

frumpety · 29/10/2018 19:27

Now forgive me if I am wrong as I was still quite young in between 84' and 93' but wasn't it a conservative government in power ?

oh dear. The great council house sell off began in the 1980's. Why don't you look up the Housing Act of 1988 specifically AST's. Unemployment reached 3 million in the 80's. There was no national minimum wage.

Why should they have cared about people on building sites or in factories or care homes?

union membership is not reserved solely for public sector workers.

Ah yes, Maggie's lost generation.
When employment and housing prospects were so poor that thousands lived in old buses moving around the country .....
