I'm speculating, but I imagine it's more to do with the predicted shortages of various items than people being upset about Brexit itself.
Is the country just going to run out of bread is it...

The scaremongers will be leading us to believe we will be having to carry wads of cash down the shop for a loaf, akin to Zimbabwe...

Britain isn't just going to fold people. The military won't be needed.

Do not fall for all this politically driven BS
 
But yet advocate a no deal and all that would entail for Ireland.

You keep citing trading with the world and making new trading alliances but do you understand that Brexit will ultimately result in the break up of what remains of the Empire?
Just got this the British empire was not covered in glory - Also it ended soon after the 2nd world war ....
Trading worldwide, and getting out of a polictical union is not coloniism- It's about choice - hence the referendum as our politicians put it a one off vote of a lifetime ......
We will have to see what happens ......
 
The UK has unilaterally guaranteed the residency rights of people from the EU who have chosen to call this home. The EU27 have not reciprocated for UK nationals living in the EU, yet somehow we’re the baddies.

Well, you would think it would be sensible to ask those affected how they might be affected by the no deal scenario so airily thrown around. It might also seem sensible to then listen to those people. Apparently being sensible is all #projectfear though. Instead we should listen to people who have absolutely no idea about how supply chains or the various EU policies that we've lived by for decades impact our daily lives. They seem much better placed than those with direct experience of it. We're living in an idiocracy.

We can just listen to remainers who seem to know exactly what's going to happen and at what cost..

We hear it every day.

Nobody knows how it will go.

No, it's got nothing to do with leave or remain, it's simply a case of listening to those in industry explaining how a no deal scenario would affect their business. Simple as that. Take leave/remain out of the equation. It's quite straightforward to say "we rely on conditions as they are to operate. If those conditions materially change, this is what will happen to our business. To mitigate this, we would need xyz." and then to determine whether xyz exist or whether it's feasible to have it by March.
 
If you prefer, think of it like your mortgage. You pay £xxx per month based upon interest rates of 5%. If circumstances change and interest rates go up to 7%, then you can pretty accurately predict how much your mortgage will go up, whether your existing income could cover that, and what happens if it can't. That's not some kind of mystic meg stuff.

Lest we forget in all this, the no deal breezily suggested by so many doesn't involve a transition, it involves a fracturing of relations with the EU, so all of the non-tariff regulations that govern trade within the EU cease to operate. If those regulations are required, as with medicines for instance, or nuclear material for x-rays, then that presents a huge problem.

So your comparing brexit to interest payments on mortgages..

I did think for a minute you had a good grasp on it all.. Obv not.

Thanks for that
