I know this thread will get trolled and spammed with the usual suspects demanding answers from us.

But I'm hoping any leavers out there could ignore them and tell me how their feeling.

Right now I'm wondering who the hell is speaking out for us? It's gone very quiet....

There is some momentum from pro Europe voices... but aside from a damp squib march from farage..does anyone else think it's gone eerily quiet!!

You've found your people, Burp!

I fully expect 10 to even 30 years of economical hardship

Brilliant.

Never forget that it was the rich elite that wanted Brexit and they conned the poor into wanting it to.

It is Rees-Mogg and the ERG who have pushed us to the impass. They are the ones who have consistently voted down May’s deal. If they had voted for it then we would be leaving the EU on Friday.

Those who wish to leave with No Deal are wilfully blind to the misery it will cause. Not everyone will die. But people’s life chances will be considerably curtailed. All for a non-urgent ideological debate.

Great work.

I particularly feel sorry for those cancer patients who will lose their places in EU cancer trials.

I’m going out on a limb here to guess that mrs J has paid off her mortgage and is living nicely on her husband’s pension.

1tisILeClerc · 27/03/2019 18:16

JRM has 'made' about £7 Million over the last year or two by 'betting' on the Pound rising and falling and having money places to gain from this. All the announcements and failures that have been put forward help his wallet (and others of course).
The 'big win' would be if the UK crashes out completely as his activities will see a windfall and he can buy up properties in the 'fire sale'.
What a nice chap. Oh and the profits go offshore so minimising UK tax.

Hopefully the majority will vote to revoke tonight and some of the damage, both political and economic can be rebuilt both in the UK and with our trading partners in the EU.

Helmetbymidnight · 27/03/2019 19:29

OP, you never did say which media you use that barely features Brexiteers?

Tommy Robinson's doing lots of brexit betrayal marches too.

I'm sure they would welcome you and the "I fully expect 10 to even 30 years of economical hardship" crowd.

Angry we won't die?

I spent the day trying not to cry because my partner has three different medication protocols due to his rare disease. His disease is so rare I can't just ring up the GP to ask what to do if he unexpectedly gets worse and I, me Ms Not A Dr, has to decide which protocol to do based off my memory of the specialist's advice. If i fuck up its 999.

One drug out of his daily normal routine and he gets worse. The preperations for no deal and medications can not be guaranteed.

When people say I want no deal I don't think it'll be that bad all I hear is I don't care about sick people, I don't care about disabled people, I don't care about people needing to use foodbanks, what i WANT is more important than when you NEED.

(((( Hazard )))))
Much as I think our politicians are venal fuckwits, I do believe that the NHS is better prepared than it is allowed to let on (those pesky NDAs)
and that the EU will bust a gut to stop Brits coming to harm UK Gov will pay through the nose in reputation for it
so you'll get your meds
as I trust Tusk if nobody else

Chocolatedeficitdisorder · 27/03/2019 20:02

I am as by confused by leave voters as I am by fox hunting supporters.

They must be seeing a very different world to the one I see.

TatianaLarina · 27/03/2019 21:12

Leaving with No Deal is my choice - we actually do have arrangements in place (despite the BBC never reporting them and cutting off MPs trying to explain them). I am fed up with the hysteria from the remain side about No Deal. There is nothing wrong with WTO rules. Some UK businesses already trade under these rules and have no problems with the tariffs. There is life outside the EU (I lived it before we joined and I've lived it in non-EU countries too) - we won't die. though, if we ever do manage to get out, I fully expect 10 to even 30 years of economical hardship while we get on our feet. At the end of that, I would expect us to be a strong country and possibly in a much better position than the rest of the EU.

This right here is a very good example of why the question should never have been put to the public vote. And why we should follow Germany in banning referendums for all but trivial matters.

The next Referendum should be

“should Snickers revert to their former name of Marathon? Yes/No”

I’m so sorry Hazard.

I was going to say that Leave voters seem more deluded than actively uncaring but in fact it comes to the same thing.

They care more about their delusions than other people’s reality.

I spent some time arguing with a poster here who ignored the hard facts and claimed that preparations for No Deal are not and will not in any way impact price and availability of medicines.

Your post is a salutary reminder that delusion can potentially cost lives. Self-deception is never benign and when applied on a national scale it can have terrible consequences.

Flowers to your partner.

JustAnotherPoster00 · 27/03/2019 21:29

should Snickers revert to their former name of Marathon? Yes/No

Im sure the correlation between those that voted leave and those that say yes would be quite high

jasjas1973 · 27/03/2019 21:36

They should have been forced into cross party coalition on emergency footing the second the vote went leave

Only IF that had been made crystal clear before the vote...ie who how when etc but to be honest, if a cross party emergency govt is needed to find a way forward out of the EU, then even suggesting holding a referendum is a crazy idea..... as it has been proven!!

jasjas1973 · 27/03/2019 21:39

hould Snickers revert to their former name of Marathon? Yes/No

Im sure the correlation between those that voted leave and those that say yes would be quite high

I m as remain as they come but i'd vote to change it back to Marathon, Snickers is a make of shoe isn't it? lol!

TatianaLarina · 27/03/2019 21:40

Quite. Why would any country vote for something that needs an emergency national government to deal with?

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 27/03/2019 22:03

jasjas same here

HeyCarrieAnneWhatsYourGame · 27/03/2019 22:05

Placemarking out of morbid curiosity to see what on earth can be anyone’s reasoning for wanting this shit show.

Cora1942 · 27/03/2019 22:13

Im a leaver.
I knew we wouldnt leave.
This sham has proved no democracy.
This country is truely divided.
No deal of course. But wont happen.

Windowsareforcheaters · 27/03/2019 22:17

This sham has proved no democracy

Only a leaver could come up with this logic.

This is the most parliamentary democracy we have had for decades. This is parliamentary sovereignty in action. This is a sovereign parliament taking control.

Just cos you don't like it and aren't getting the result you want this time doesn't mean it isn't democracy.

Thanks, Windows. I just lost the will to live for a moment there, and you have helped me to find it again Flowers
