Not concerned at all ... my only concern is all this delay. We must get out of the EU social experiment we didn’t mean to be part of A.S.A.P. The only shortages that will occur are any we engineer. What comes into our boarders is up to us ... so we can just wave stuff through the border if we wish.... no shortages no delays. Going out may be different ultimately the EU may hold up some of our exports - but generally not they want the goods. I’d prefer a deal but the box I put an X against said nothing about a deal or any if’s just in or out. Yes they’ve lied through their teeth’s on both sides but I’d still prefer to be out. I do not trust Boris or Corbyn further than I can throw them ( and I’m slight) but I don’t trust European politicians even more.

Are you scared
(311 Posts)Before I start I’ll nail my colours to a mast I voted remain. I’m not thrilled with the result but I accept it. I’m a little anxious about all the information of a no deal brexit and I expect most remainers are. I don’t want to start a bun fight but are those of you who voted out are you concerned about a no deal exit? I’m not asking for reassurance just if you feel very confident about the outcome of a no deal.
I am not scared, I am chuffing petrified
The fact is, unpalatable as it may be, that more leavers got off their backsides and went and voted than remainers.
Spot on HurdyGurdy. Thank you.
One must question why the Lib Dems and Labour are dead set against a General Election too? Worried by Leaver feeling, maybe?
rem1997 - this is, you can quote all the statistics you like about how many voted remain and how many voted leave. The fact is, unpalatable as it may be, that more leavers got off their backsides and went and voted than remainers. Which could be taken as remainers not actually being all that bothered, or just assuming that remain would be the winning vote by a landslide and their vote wasn't important.
How on earth did we ever manage without the EU ?. Very well actually .
How on earth did we ever manage without the internet?. Very well actually .
How on earth did we ever manage without the NHS? . Very well actually .
How on earth did we ever manage without schools?. Very well actually .
etc, etc, etc - really?
seriously 'peaceful and friendly' people - it should have read
The thrill of bombing and kneecapping in Northern Ireland?
What a hideous Remainer thing to say. is there no limit to the things you'll blame Leavers for?
Brexit will not cause bombings or knee-capping violence. Think about it.
If it happens it will be because lame-brained, small-minded thugs like a bit of violence.
Goods passing through a border, physical or otherwise, does not cause seriously people to decide to kneecap someone who is of a different religion or political persuasion.
Like many Remainers, it sounds as though you are looking for any excuse to ensure Brexit is a 'bad' thing. The sun going down at night is likely to be the fault of Leavers too, before long.
It's pathetic, sore looser projection and pessimism.
I voted to leave. I do have reservations about a "no Deal" Brexit, particularly about the possible Border between Eire and Northern Ireland, as well as the impact this situation might also have on Gibraltar. I have never had a problem with immigration to this country, or indeed, foreign nationals of any kind working in our Hospitals, the Hospitality industry or Farming. While the EU has done and continues to do many good things (collaboration and co-operation in Policing and Research for example) I deplore the move to federalism and that fact that un-elected faceless individuals are the ones making many decisions. I do not think that the EU should be able to overrule another country's parliament or laws. Don't worry though - I am now almost convinced that Brexit will never happen. Parliament clearly does not intend that it should. I fear that there will be riots in the streets when or if a further extension is granted, or indeed, when the Politicians overturn the Referendum vote to leave. Great Britain has survived far worse than Brexit, and we would again - IF it ever happens, which I sincerely doubt.
How on earth did we ever manage without the EU . Very well actually .
I am impressed that some people knew what they voted for when in is still not obvious what we will get and what hardship we will face. I think a lot of those who abstained at the referendum because they didn't know what to do for the best would now vote to remain. I have 2 in my family in that position! At least the Lib Dems are giving us a bit of hope.
Two things GGMK3, firstly don't hold your breath waiting for any coherent, sensible things which will be better after we crash out, unless of course, you really like roast lamb and it doesn't bother you that your cheap joint is on the basis of the multiple bankruptcies of Welsh ( and other) sheep farmers. Secondly, get your Brexit bingo card out and join us as we joyfully tick off all the cliches that are strangely, starting again on a three year rota. Your first point for free; there are still some saying that 'they' need us more than we need 'them'. that's an old chestnut from the Farage bible.
I voted remain. and yes I am scared we will leave with a no deal. All I want to see is Article 50 revoked and will therefore vote Lib Dem.
I actually feel more scared now I have read this thread. We have people who believe that all leave voters will try and make life worse just so they can say "I told you so". These same people actually believe that they, the leavers will be the one who work to improve whatever state we end up in. They are actually saying we are so "them" and "us" that this is what will happen even if they inflict their vision of a "better life for all Brits" on us. But not once do they tell us what this better life comprises.
Could someone, please, spell out what will be better?
Leavers on the other hand will get on and strive to make their dream of a better life for all Brits a reality.
How very noble of you. How are you going to make it better for me? Are you going to sort out my daughter's permit so that she can stay in her job in the EU? Are you going to make up the 20% shortfall (so far) on currency and reimburse the difference? Queue for my medication? Maybe you will pay the medical bills for the millions of Brits living in the EU who will no longer be covered under reciprocal health plans? What a silly thing to say, no doubt said as you stood up and sang the National Anthem because we remainers are of course, traitors.

"21 ways no-deal Brexit could hit you"

Yes, exactly, what are you excited about? The thrill of going to the Co-op and wondering if they will have what you want on the shelves? The thrill of watching your pharmacist ring around to try and get some of your medication? The thrill of bombing and kneecapping in Northern Ireland? The thrill of wondering whether your EU nationality carer will be able/wish to stay?
All the Grans who say they are "excited", why, what for?
The first line in my las post should have been in quotes.
Everything we read is mere speculation on the part of fervent 'remainers' and fervent 'leavers'.
Of course they aren't. If you choose to do your research properly you would read expert opinion. The idea that we should ignore all experts comes from the ignorance of those who suggest such a thing - including those looking for career advancement such as Gove.

Why will the UK suffer?
Because remainers will do their upmost to make it so. Then they can smugly say...I told you.
Leavers on the other hand will get on and strive to make their dream of a better life for all Brits a reality. (Including not excluding anyone from medical care etc as some would like to inflict on leave voters).
If this country has ever been divided it is now and this question is fully enhancing that. Whatever way you voted was your choice.
What has come more to the fore front than ever before is how useless these MPs are.
You don't give a whole country a chance to vote and then faĺl off your chair and hit your head because it's not what you expected and there was no forward planning before hand. Cameron, May and now Johnson!!!
But then again this country is in mess so this is just icing on the top.
I don't see why outs or remainers should be worried because none of them are worth a second thought. What's to be will be.
Why will the UK suffer?
Personally, it angers me when leavers always say "half the country voted to leave". See below:
Pop. UK 66,04,00
Electorate 46,148,000
Leavers 17,410,742
Remainers 16,141,241
Total voters 33,551,983
Therefore, 12,596,017 abstained.
Would the abstainers vote to remain in a second referendum?
I voted to leave, but doubt very much I’d we ever will. The MP’s who are remailers are determined to stop it at any cost. They don’t care what their constituents voted for. Very democratic . And now the Liberal Democrat’s are saying if they are voted in, they will cancel brexit. ??
You're not being silly, AdeleJay.
