Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,218 Posted September 23, 2018 8 minutes ago, paddyfool said: The country as a whole are apparently split 50:50 on the question of whether there should be a second ref or not: https://whatukthinks.org/eu/questions/do-you-think-there-should-be-a-second-referendum-to-accept-or-reject-the-terms-of-britains-exit-from-the-eu-once-they-have-been-agreed/ Millenials obviously make up much less than half the adult population, and are not going to be unanimous, so it can't just be down to them. Meanwhile, which way people would vote if there was a second ref would be very much in doubt, as the polls remain very near 50:50 on this question as well, albeit with a narrow and very slowly growing lead for Remain (see the top four links here: https://whatukthinks.org/eu/opinion-polls/uk-poll-results/). There's not much shifting among people who voted either way last time; mainly the shift is in people who didn't vote saying that this time, they'd go to the polls and vote Remain, and demographic shift, with new young voters mainly wanting to Remain. It would be interesting to see how this turns out... No it wouldn't. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
philheybrookbay 439 Posted September 23, 2018 And what about the fact that the last vote was Leave? We can’t carry on with this farce of ‘I didn’t like the result let’s rerun it’ We have 5 months and 3 weeks till we leave. Leave we will do now. It’s too late for anything else.

We've yet to see a workable plan for it though. The Chequers plan is a bad joke, the ERG plan is worse, and as the old saying goes, failure to plan is like planning to fail. Why should we go ahead with it without even having a plan? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

paddyfool 379 Posted November 10, 2018 We're obviously not going to starve to death, it's mostly the sections full of just-in-time imported stuff (eg fresh fruit and veg) that could well be empty for a while. It's worth having a bit of tinned / frozen / jarred / dried alternative in stock (but obviously that's a good idea anyway). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We also managed to get through WW2 and not starve to death. I find the scaremongering and the utter fuckwombles that swallow it chapter and verse to be utterly staggering in stupidity. Lets not forget that all that imported food that we, obviously, cannot possibly live without, will be sitting there in european ports, the sellers unable to shift it here, not getting paid and nowhere else to send it. Terrible. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paddyfool 379 Posted November 11, 2018 We'll see. But whatever you hope for, it's generally sensible to prepare for delays if a whole new customs regime is about to be put in place at all of our ports. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
philheybrookbay 439 Posted November 11, 2018 Perhaps just perhaps we’ll go back to just eating seasonal food like when I was kid. You had fresh strawberries for a short few weeks not the whole year. Same with asparagus and peaches as other examples. Ive always got tinned goods in ( child of the 70s). If if it gets grim it’ll be rationing . Heck that will do us the power of good loose weight and healthy diet. But panic buy? No way. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paddyfool 379 Posted November 12, 2018 Preparing by storing some extra supplies now is the exact opposite of panic buying, and should in fact spare people from being caught up in or overly impacted by panic buying come the time. Failure to plan, on the other hand, is effectively planning to fail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
