• I disagree that there are no consequences with Brexit. Public opinion has and will continue to be shaped by purposeful misinformation drip fed over years and months to a gullible public, for people to say that questioning government policy undermines the success of the Brexit process is disingenuous nonsense designed to silence dissent. People have been saying whatever they want with no consequences personally, but with huge consequences to our society and with explicit implications for security and disaster management as we're now seeing in real time.

    For people to then turn round and say you're not allowed to criticise a pandemic response because of non-compliance is just batshit-even resource poor Haiti has a more intensive testing regime than the USA at the moment. Pointing that out doesn't mean tinkerbell will croak.

    Brexit shortages combined with a mis-managed pandemic would be absolute chaos and would see us in a similar situation to Iran who are under sanctions, so I guess we're lucky it's happened this year rather than next.

  • Kind of feels like the old “we survived 2 world wars, we ruled the world, we’ll survive Brexit and we’ll survive this corona. We’re Great Britain” etc etc

    As heard on the train earlier, old guy in his early 70s with that attitude... 'Ive lived through SARS, Aids, etc. we'll be fine!'
