HoDs comment was a bit harsh.

"Spiteful", "stupid", "hateful", "troll".
Come on guys, you're better than that! Let's not drive Stander away, he's one of the few to give us an insight into a different way of thinking to the general consensus on this thread.
And I don't believe he does know he's made the wrong decision. I believe he is as certain as can be that his decision is correct. Just because we don't agree, or don't want it to be correct, doesn't make it any less valid.

HoD on the other hand, is a bellend.

Spiteful is precisely right. Talking to the local placard-waving brexiter, telling him I was having to move my business abroad, and his response was "great, if you love the EU so much, you should go and live there."
Apart from the small detail that he's trying to take that right away from me, it's hard to argue with that level of stupid. His female sidekick quite honestly tried to pretend the country was much better off in 1973 before we joined! Not a slip of the tongue or misunderstanding, she repeated it several times.

Hod is most certainly a bellend. On that we can agree. The git was supposed to pace me in that London Marathon I did in the morph suit and he fucked off and left me in the last mile.
Traitor. Stick him in the Tower to rot. (Seriously though, he had done Brighton the weekend beforehand and did actually really help me - but never tell him that).
Happy G - Your post 32224 was pretty spot on. Including the humour bit.
And no, I don't believe I have made the wrong decision. I still think that in the long term leaving is best for the UK. No, it isn't going to be easy, but it isn't going to be the Armageddon that the naysayers in here think.

I actually agree about the absence of armageddon. But that will be because we tweak and plan around it when no deal becomes a certainty - we'll have to make the best of it, and in doing so we're likely to ameliorate some of the potential worst aspects.
OTOH, we could just stay in the EU and avoid having to make those tweaks and plans AND get all the benefits of being in the EU. Which is my preferred option!

Do you have a feel for how long that long term might need to be?

When you guys talk about "not armageddon", can you clarify how many deaths due to medical shortages are "not armageddon"? I'd like to know if you are thinking about one or two, a few hundred, maybe a couple of thousand...what is the sort of number you have in mind?

Exactly what part of "their will be no medical shortages" did you not understand in my previous post?

How will isotopes with a half-life measured in hours get over the border in a timely manner given that we are ending free movement, leaving the single market and customs union, and 7 out of 8 lorry drivers crossing the channel are not UK nationals?
If Health Secretary Matt Hancock can't guarantee medical supplies, how can you?
