It will still work, but it won't be as comfy.

According to the BBC we will fall from a cliff edge into a black abyss, never to be seen again.

That's also what the government's own analysis said

Gloom mongers. We won't though will we? A small amount of disruption as with any change and life will carry on as it always does. Life's too short to worry about what ifs and maybes. Just live it and make the best of the hand you are dealt.

My company has just gone through a massive internal change and it has gone tits up. But with hard work and everyone pulling in the right direction there will be light at the end of the tunnel. No change is without its hiccups, teething problems no one could have imagined, but as a company we will get where we need to be to provide for our customers.... the government will work the same way.

Yeah but the hiccups with Brexit are people's lives lost. Nothings worth that.

But why would you CHOOSE to do that, when there is no long term benefit?

We will go through the "hiccups" of shortage of food, medicine and petrol, for a future of long-term depressed economic performance.

Why would ANYONE choose that?

We didn't choose to go through the Blitz, Dunkirk, rationing etc. We didn't choose to go through the Black Death (1). We had no option but to face those problems. But we are choosing Brexit. With still zero credible reason why.

(1) Before anyone accuses me of being ridiculously OTT, those are examples of things that have been flagged up by prominent Tories and BP bigwigs as things that "Britain faced and survived, so I'm sure we can survive Brexit."

I’m struggling to understand how you’re still alive, it must be really tough breathing with your head still buried in the sand.?

Because I get on with life. Sometimes things are easy, sometimes thing are tough. You deal with it and carry on, not cry out how tough your lot is.

A 'small amount of disruption' for you may mean job losses for ordinary people and multi-million profit for traders betting on the pound falling.

Do you not think there is something strange about this?

I think there is something more strange about elected representatives of the people wilfully ignoring the result of a democratic referendum and trying every trick in the book to go back on the promise made to honour the result.

Not as strange as someone expecting elected representatives - who are elected to do what's best for their constituents and the country - to vote through any piece of shit deal (or no deal) that they know would damage the country, just because it's got a Brexit label tied to it.

I suggest you look at what someone wrote above in a post above:

Or elected representatives actually doing what their constituents want them to do. This lot in parliament think they are so superior to us menials who put them there on their cushy numbers. Sneering down their noses at Joe Public who dared to do the unthinkable and vote for what they believed in.

AL

Steve Baker is one of the most virulent Hard Brexit supporters. His Wycombe constituency voted Remain.

I assume you think he is sneering down his nose at the people who voted him in?

Kate Hoey anyone?

How screwed up is she - Labour's most ardent Brexiteer - who represents a constituency that voted 77% to remain.

The whole fiasco has become a byword for lies and hypocrisy.

Austerity was a genius political idea by George Osborne. It gave him a stick to beat Labour with that sounded like rock solid common sense. And it worked as a political gambit.

Economically, it was insane. And it has done more long term damage to this country than any Govt policy since the War.

TEN YEARS of below average growth. Stagnant wages. Public services rotting away.

It's the unfocussed anger that Austerity produced that led to the rise of Farage (because every time things are bad economically, in every country, in every age, some unscrupulous Kitson comes along and tells folk it's the fault of them bas**rd foreigners. Every. Single. Time.)

If Farage had been kept in his box, Brexit would never have been remotely an issue.

Everything traces back to Austerity. Osborne for inventing it. And that vacuous f**king non-entity, Clegg for enabling it.  The two if them deserve to rot in f**king hell.

I saw this on Twitter yesterday and thought it was brilliant.

“Austerity is the idea that the 2008 financial crash was caused by Wolverhampton having too many libraries.”

And there's the tragedy DO.

The financial crash was caused by spiv financial sector bas**rds.

Their political friends blamed it on Government spending and slashed Govt spending when it needed to be expanded.

Then, when folk started getting angry, the same spiv businessmen funded the campaign that convinced folk it was the fault of the EU and lefties.

There's the tragedy. There IS an elite f**king over the ordinary man. But it's not the one that the Brexit voters think it is.

I'm in the Motor industry and the rate that vehicles have been landing into the country via mainland Europethe last few months has slowed massively.

and while you get sod all on your savings in a bank

if you have a spare million to quote    "Substantial entry requirements: With most private equity funds requiring significant initial commitment (usually upwards of $1,000,000), which can be drawn at the manager's discretion over the first few years of the fund.[1..."

they aim for a return of a least 10% per annum

The delivery of many new vehicles has slowed down dramatically due to the ongoing pointless twaddle of WLTP.
