1. Firms have 'no idea what's going on'

7 September 2019

... Ms Raja, founder and boss of Nim's Fruit Crisps, stockpiled supplies last year in the run-up to the original Brexit date in March ...

"Last time we stockpiled, it came to absolutely nothing. We were lucky enough to get a deal with the NHS and we were able to use the products that we had stockpiled," said Ms Raja, whose factory is based in Kent.

"But this time around, it just feels like we want to do what <people at> Westminster seem to be doing, which is just folding their arms and waiting for the deadline" ...

She said: "We are dealing with fresh produce, just-in-time products, and the worrying thing is that if suddenly on 31 October there are border controls, produce that we have coming in will be held up, which will mean production in our factories will stall" ...

5. A small group of rabid nazi freaks said they'll cause civil war,

coz they won their vote to drive the nation off the cliff, and their will will not be thwarted. They voted to self immolate, and demand their right to hug the nation close when they do self immolate.

They're betting England's citizens are nazis. I remember how England's citizens beat the nazis. Everytime these new nazis pull something high profile, it fails. Farage and Boris are failures, Yaxley lennon robinson is a failure, all those dipshits Rump retweets are failures, steve bannon is a failure.

Sounds like those clowns want to pull a ram proudboys patriot prayer riot, or a charlottesville. So many of our clown nazi leaders from those groups are jailed, out of work, on the run from the courts.
