Hard Brexit or Hard Brexit

It's been a long time since I've been to my native Quebec... I seem to remember hearing "Ta farme tu ta yeule" a lot though.

My mistake. That should be "ferme ta gueule."

well, I assumed it did mean that, only with Jouale accent

Brexit: Theresa May tells Britain not to worry despite admitting plans to stockpile food, blood and medicine

Theresa May has urged voters not to worry about Brexit, despite her government setting out plans to stockpile food, blood and medicine in case it goes badly.

She said people should take “reassurance and comfort” from news of the plans, to be implemented if the UK crashes out of the EU without an agreement in March next year.

The scenario is looking increasingly likely given deep divisions in the Conservatives over Ms May’s approach, her wafer thin commons majority and the EU’s on-going resistance to what the prime minister is proposing.

What exactly do you expect them to do? Given that a 'no deal' exist is a possibility and the implications of that are unpredictable do you expect them not to plan for contingencies? What would the public say if we leave with no decent plan in place and the government say 'doh, we messed up and forgot to make plans' as stuff backs up at ports and entry points to the country.

I hope it doesn't happen of course but the government is right to make plans.

But Brexit even with a no-deal was going to be a doddle according to Farrage and BoJo.

This government would never say "D'oh! We messed up." They'd blame the EU, the next Labour government, immigrants, or anyone else in spitting distance.

I would like to expect them to stop breaking their promises but I don't think they will. No deal is only a possibility because they've gone back on their agreement from last year to accept the EU's Northern Ireland backstop suggestion and their commitments to negotiate in good faith which they are failing to do by only ever putting forward proposals that they already know cross EU red lines.

As it is I don't expect the government will make appropriate contingency plans. I don't trust them to have the competence or compassion necessary to make sure people aren't going hungry. The need for foodbanks has increased dramatically as a direct result of universal credit and other deeply flawed an inhumane policies, and they push on with them regardless.

There are people holding much sway at the top of the Tory party that want us to crash out with no deal, that want to bring the country to its knees, giving themselves more power specifically so they can push forwards with deregulation and profit by selling us cheaply produced goods at scarcity driven high prices. Last week they voted down an amendment that would ensure parliament could vote on and therefore properly scrutinise future trade deals. All our rights and the high standards we've come to expect are at risk of being sold off to the highest bidder, and they know that desperate and hungry people are more likely to accept whatever is offered.

I really hope I'm wrong.

My mom is a Wakefield native and she'd say "câline de bine" fairly often. But I also remember my older sister saying "câlisse" sometimes.

Well, the original is calice, same church origin as cibouère or tabarnac...

Ministers 'misleading public' after denying that plans to 'turn Kent into a giant lorry park' are because of Brexit

“Food will rot on the motorway and jobs are at risk as manufacturing supply chains are muddled and slowed by Brexit. We cannot let minister use secrecy to railroad the concerns of councils about Brexit.”

(continued impending doom)
