Can we start calling it a ‘Venezuela style’ deal rather than an Australian one, just to own the swivel-eyed bellends or something? It’s not incorrect.

Dont want to come over as all Stewart Lee but I can explain the joke if you want

I think it would be useful for you to explain why you chose to use that “joke”.

The issue of obligation to make adjustments to UK regulations and standards is for the restitution of benefits of free access to EU common market, which is a reasonable condition that can be accommodated without the agitation of affront.

If I understand you correctly, about the potential future application of market controls like future tariffs in response to changes, I don't have a problem with it.

Times reporting that ministers have told supermarkets to stockpile food. That's brilliant, isn't it, expecting supermarkets that work on a JIT delivery model to magic up months' worth of warehouse capacity in the middle of the Christmas rush.

So No Deal day dawns with another blame opportunity being teed up.

And portrays a complete lack of understanding how supermarkets work.

Supermarket stock doesn’t hang around waiting for weeks and months.

Understanding?! We don't need understanding! We just need to believe!

Are not the delays at ports due in part to supermarkets stocking up?

It's the meds that bother me.

Got mine delivered last week, I should be OK for about 12 weeks. After that fuck knows.
I’m secretly hoping that the brand I have has supply issues and they switch me to a different one as these injection pens really fucking hurt compared to the old ones I used to get, enough for me to make excuses for delaying when I use them. Got switched over when I moved to a new area and different hospital. Could be a small silver lining in it for me.

Hope all will be good.

Some remainers want food to run out. For shortages to predominantly affect leave areas, a collective punishment.

They may get what they want but its unseemly to be seen lusting after harm to others.

I really really do not want food food shortages, or price increases. I get that there must be some people all ready to gloat and go i told you so whilst buying the extra expensive turnips but don't think its many. Especially after the year we've all had.
More to the point, if we "remainers' hadn't wasted all that time & energy trying to reverse the decision, if they had stopped calling themselves remainers but instead made some coherent concerted argument for a soft brexit / customs union or whatever i don't think we'd be here now. There's plenty of blame to go round for whatever happens next imo.

Thankfully remainers are on a spectrum. Philosophical at the crazed loon end and others, perhaps considering the impact of the peoples vote campaign heading towards the other end.

It's quite heartening to see the tories sticking the knife in each other this morning. There will be lots more of this in the coming weeks. Christmas cheer.

Oh don't go down this rabbit hole. This is just the latest attempt by the hardline leave types to blame everyone and anyone apart from themselves for the shit-show they've created.
