Preparedness for when

boultdj

Damm and blast the fool's in charge who limit the number of doctors and nurses we can train every year! I hope they come down with something very ichy.

Well I'v finely got a stay/go leaflet through the post today, and I still can't make up me mind, I'm of the opionion we're dammed if we do/dammed if we don't,so with that in mind I'll plant my french beans out and go put netting over my cherry tree.

I can understand that - but I took the view personally that I prefer to say to myself "Well - at least I tried" (ie did use my vote).

If the majority of other people take the "other option" and vote to stay in - I'll voice a few short sharp comments about people not fully understanding the issues - and then console myself with thinking "Well - at least I tried. I cast my vote for Brexit - so I've done my bit".

Nowt else one can do imo - except one's little bit/voice raised and then cross fingers and hope.

Please please let Friday cost me around £10-£15 - ie the cost of a bottle of champagne to celebrate that we're coming out at last...

I'll be hoping to join you in that toast.

I'll be buying some prosecco on Friday if I feel celebratory. Using a clubcard voucher. Because one should always aim to be MSE, whatever else is going on in the wide wide world.

Came in from w*rk (oh lawdy lawdy, can't wait for the referendum to be over) and trimmed and then washed my hair.

Heard some interesting conversations today in shops. A British Indian woman of middle age and almost certainly middle class was vehemently Leave. Wonder how people like her fit into the media narrative of the wannabe Brexiters being (by implication white) racists? Most people professed themselves in the undecided camp, according to the opinion they chose to share.

They might genuinely be undecided. They might be dissembling to avoid potential conflicts of opinion. The postal voting cohort will have voted already, ballots have been out since the beginning of the month.

Reports from people commuting tell me that the hinterlands outside my city are peppered with Leave placards and any Remainers are keeping a low profile. As in invisibly low. That is 100% true-blue Tory territory, btw. And has never been anything but true-blue Tory.

We live in Interesting Times. I'm exhausted and dreading tomorrow's shift.

Come Friday, comes the post-mortem, the resignation speeches, the Day of the Long Knives as leaders cull the rebels in their own parties, the endless debates about What It All Means. Expect extra-fat Sunday papers this coming weekend, for those who take physical newspapers.

I expect that journalists have already prepared two articles ready for last minute editing, one for what happens if we Brexit, and one which will be deployed if the vote is Remain. Be fun to watch for the join where they've edited them.

Expect a rough ride, lovely peeps. My very small wager with a pal is that it will be Brexit with a sub-5% margin and a turnout in the high 70% margin.

I'm off to Canada for work on Sunday. I wonder whether I can claim asylum?

I already have a bottle in waiting GQ, it was given to Dh at Christmas and he saved it in the hope of a celebration. I'm hoping for a big enough Brexit win that it doesn't cause too many recounts or consternations.
My main worry if I'm honest is that David Cameron somehow thinks he can carry on as PM in that event. I'm afraid I will have no confidence what so ever in him being the one to steer the ship on its new course, (less in fact than I have in him now) I fear he will be so determined to prove he was right in his belief we should stay he'll do everything possible to make it hard for us.
I heard an American lady on to a couple of weeks ago saying we are being very polar about the vote and thinking we have only two choices in or out, when in fact we have in and out followed by the possibility of both being organised with either good or bad leadership after the event. It will go one of four ways.

Politically, Cameron is a dead man walking, whether he accepts it yet or not. But he'll have his former prime-ministerial pension-for-life and his family wealth to comfort him.

I'd try for somewhere a bit warmer it I were you. At least you'll get a break from the endless maundering about the meaning of it all. Enjoy your trip, and remember that the silver maple leaf is a highly-desirable object, if you're searching for a wee pressie for the prepper in your life.

Yes, I was thinking similar. I wondered if Camoron & Nobsore will carry out their threats to pensions & taxes out of spite if we do vote to leave.

(It's a good excuse, isn't it?)

Somehow I've never really quite understood why Cameron wanted to be PM.

Thatcher was pure hard conviction that she was the "person for the job". Tony Bliar was just plain ego and greed for money. I've never quite "got" Cameron - as he doesnt seem to be either of those. Not a "conviction" person and not a greedyguts egoist with the morals of an alleycat (apologies to all cats at this time - apart from Blimmin' Cat living near me that thinks my garden is their "territory":cool:).

Anyway - time will tell and my own personal take is it will be pretty close-run. Followed by "If any wotname starts using that as an excuse - because its a Brexit verdict and they personally don't like it and are looking for excuses to negate it - I shall be in the mood to call on them personally.......and they definitely won't like that .....:D:rotfl:". Anyone up for joining me for that if it comes to it???
