Stander - you yourself said
"Pharmaceutical companies have been told to build up stockpiles of six weeks' supply of drugs."
Which to me suggests shortages. I'm not suggesting the government is doing nothing to prepare for it and won't have it covered, I'd hope they definitely would.
However, we were promised benefits, and instead the best case scenario being offered currently, is "we will 100% be able to cover any shortages". I have an option for doing that, that is way cheaper and is also guaranteed.... Revoke and remain.

In fact, I think I'm going to leave you guys to it anyway.
I've worked hard to establish my career. I have a reasonable house and lifestyle. There have obviously been bumps along life's highway, but I'm generally someone with a positive outlook on life. And I don't need all your shit.
I'm done with all the negativity in here. It's not needed and it achieves nothing at all.
So knock yourselves out with all the moaning and bitching. I outta here.
Might possibly stick my head in the door on the other side of Brexit, provided the world hasn't ended because of it.

Stander - it wasn't an unreasonable question. Name some real physical, tangible benefits to feel good about. Something we should feel positive about.
I feel positive about plenty, my job, my house, my family, my running, my band. However one thing imperils quite a lot of that. Brexit. Best case scenario - it's the millennium bug, part 2, and nothing happens because we've already sorted it. But if that's the best case scenario, why are we doing it?

Jesus, Stander. What you have here is a community of extremely courteous, deferential and objective people (with the exception of me).
On any occasion that anyone has asked you why you want Brexit, what the benefits are or when said benefits will take place, you haven't answered. People on here have, quite rightly I admit, defended your right to do so.
If you can't even engage with the people on here, all you have is the "we won , you lost" refrain.
Quite what "shit" you are referring to, I'll never understand. I may disagree with all you say, but I thought you were more robust than that.

The thing is, for most organisations the "warnings" are them saying "we've identified a challenge, we'll be doing our best to resolve it but it will be a challenge". They're not saying "we've identified a challenge and there's bog all we can and will do about it". So the warnings are often the headline, but the detail about (expensive, elaborate) contingency plans gets overlooked in the reporting.
It's not that we can't and won't get past some of the hurdles that no deal will throw up, so Stander is right about that - just reporting the doom and gloom headlines doesn't show the full picture. There may well be individually catastrophic circumstances that aren't fully or well planned for. There will be some significant blips in the normal course of doing business. We need not have both of those if we either don't exit, or exit with a deal and that is the choice we should be arguing about. But exaggerating the catastrophe doesn't help.

I don’t think “nothing” can happen - it’s all about how many of the things that do happen are “good” and how many are “ bad” isn’t it. The overwhelming majority of us in here think there will be much more bad while Stander thinks it’ll be alright

Page 1797. DeeGee's post number 18785.
This is supposedly a "community of extremely courteous, deferential and objective people" - a few posts above.
Post above I get called a snowflake - as these are far from all the insults I - and other - Leave voters have had to endure in this thread.
Like I said, I'm done with all the negativity from you guys. I'm done.

To be fair, Stander, when I mentioned "spiteful hatred" a few posts prior to Dee Gee's post ( who incidentally, was showcasing the courtesy, deference and objectivity characteristic of this thread) I wasn't referring to you. I thought that was clear from the context. If not, sorry.

Oh, the "deals" are now "unilateral deals" now  well, that's progress of a sort.
In other news, I just made a "unilateral deal" with Peru in which I buy some of their coffee and drink it.
