BREXIT GOES BACK AND FIFTH

[biggytitbo]

We've done this. The No campaign was quite clear on where it thought the project would lead to. The people were informed. They still voted yes.

"Laws are made over Britain's head. Laws which we must obey and which may only be used to our disadvantage."

"If one day the Market moves further towards a political federation... Britain will be just one province."

You just completly ignored what I said.

[Johnny Yesno]

the entirely correct statements of the likes of Tony Benn and Barbara Castle were just seen as a kind of atavistic purism at best, scaremongering at worse

PROJECT FEAR?

You don't get to complain about that I'm afraid.

[Talulah, really!]

Uncle TechTip's answer was a perfectly valid response in any case.

Take with as big a pinch of "project fear" as you like, but my mate who recently moved to Barcelona, and who relies on constant supplies of medications, told me the following via WhatsApp:

Yesterday I met a girl who is one of the chief procurement officers for the NHS

She is on holiday here

She said it's 10x worse than is being reported

That everyone should individually be stockpiling at least 6 months of medication at least

Because come no deal- it's going to be a catastrophe

And indeed they are already planning for "avoidable deaths"

But I'm aware that

any large scale political change (or indeed any large scale change) involving millions of people will cause some issues for at least some people - that's just the nature of changing anything.

So, tough luck, ill people on meds.  Join a million Brits in the EU in their Brexit grave.

We're going to need to shorten "Brexit grave" to something more pithy, I reckon, as we'll be saying it a lot and will get sick of saying such a long thing.

Any ideas?

'Brave' is a possibility, though it could send out the wrong message.

Yeah thanks but I'd rather take Biggy's vague assurances that there will be 'some issues' but all fine than listen to another chapter of Project Fear.

[Johnny Yesno]

Well, he spent a lot of time and effort years ago telling us there was nothing to worry about regarding climate change, and that turned out fine, didn't it?

I think BG will do.  Short, snappy, and it's a "backwards GB".

This is what sells it to me.  I like things like this.

I'd be interested to know if that advice is being passed on to individual patients. My sister-in-law has a serious heart/lung condition (pulmonary hypertension) which requires a shipment of meds being couriered to her once a month. She's been advised that continued provision "should" be fine, but in her case it's not merely the drug itself. It requires an array of syringes and specialised drug delivery units (can't remember the proper name for this, but it requires her wearing something that looks like an 80s Walkman, half of which acts as a mixing device to deliver the drugs intravenously and has to be disposed of and changed daily). Anything that fucks up the supply chain for either the drug or the drug delivery hardware will essentially end up killing her.

If there are any problems with medicine supplies it won't be brexits fault, itll be this government's fault. They'll only have had almost 3 years to prepare by the time we're meant to leave.

Either way it's academic to you, isn't it.  You're perfectly fine with it.  Cold and aloof.  Bit smug, even.

[biggytitbo]

I think the crisis might prove to be a damp squib, but this is basically correct - brexit as 'the purge' https://amp.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/feb/18/britain-brexit

Britain needs a day of reckoning. Brexit will provide it

Brexit rolled over the log and we saw what crawled out

We might all have different ideas about whats under the log, but whatever it's going to some much needed light shone on it.

THE BUGGERS?

Is this a  middle-class condition?

Any news on EbA?

Well I'm not using it as an argument to cancel democracy and wallow in my own rightenousness by exploiting people's worries, which is almost sociopathic in its calculating cynisim.


If any of these things happen there will only be one party to blame and that is the governments - there is no excuse.

You are "using it" to make circular, false arguments.  And also to sneer tirelessly at people who are genuinely concerned about the reality of all this.

It'll be you and your mates in the ERG and your boy Banks that are to blame.

That's not a valid argument for Brexit, given the circumstances. We don't get to shine any light on the EU when we leave. We don't even get to look under the log. We've left the woods, and we're now in an abandoned well.
