Id like to know what your definition of ‘ all goes wrong’ is please ?
23 March, 2018 at 6:00 pm #1090578just the most basic question that anyone can ask. A straight question which you really have a duty to answer.
In that case surely you have a duty to answer my question on the other thread :)

As scep likes to talk for others, I shall take the liberty of speaking on his behalf for this. I think he means what if the UK ends up like Somalia in the 90’s or Afghanistan, a broken state, failure, with bankruptcy, famine and starvation. Regional, sectarian civil disturbance. We could become a Banana Republic or a Totalitarian Regime.

Sure. Very fair question.
At the moment British economic growth, the fastest in the OECD last year, is now the slowest.
but that proves nothing. All may yet go well. We’ll be trading less at first, but after a few years if you’re right then trading conditions will be a lot better.
But if it doesn’t……
then the amount of money for an expanding economy will not be sufficient to pay for the vital medical needs we all have (I know that you are more aware than any of us of the problems here). The money needed for education, already in crisis, will not be sufficient for capital expenditure on maintaining buildings. The money need for social care, which being being bled dry with old people being stuck in hospitals (we both know this very well for obvious reasons), will go down. The money required to help the chronically sick and mentally ill, already being cut drastically so that a lot of people are getting very badly hurt) will go down. The money for maintenance of sewers (a crisis waiting to happen) and for local government (they’re screaming under the pressure now) will not be there.
Our fate could be dire.
Now that won’t happen if you’re right. You won’t be demonstrated to be right for a few years (neither will I). but if you are right, we can all breathe a sigh of relief and I may not be exactly happy with brexit but I can live with that. There will be no pressure for anyone to revers Brexit (presuming it goes ahead?)
But if you’re wrong, then a lot of us are going to be in a pretty bad way.
So what’s Plan B – just in case things do go wrong?

You forgot North Korea, always include North Korea for a full house.

23 March, 2018 at 6:12 pm #1090586I gave a fair question. I didn’t weight it.
Do you have a fair answer?
