    Here's why the remain faction are increasingly vocal; they are getting really scared.

    Boris has today released a statement in various media sources again confirming that the UK will leave the EU on October 31st.
    "We will be packing our bags and walking out on 31 October. The only question is whether Brussels cheerily waves us off with a mutually agreeable deal, or whether we will be forced to head off on our own."

    One of the biggest lies and one that most of the delusional Brexiteers are clinging to is the big 30% property price fall they think they will get. They want this fall in the same way they would want a comet hitting the earth or a plague, both causing mass misery and destruction. I really hate them for that

    Kindly explain to me just why I should possibly want my home to be worth 30% less than it is now together with all advantages and disadvantages of such a decrease in value?
    Thanks.

    Or is the delusion what your fevered imagination assumes Brexiteers are hoping for?

    Given the government documents showing just how wondrous brexit will be remain firmly unleaked yet brexiteers still keep on with the cheerleading it's possible the self-harm is habitual.

    Erm.. what was that supposed to be a reply to? Maybe the self-harm is a little closer to home.

    There are certainly some who are hoping for a crash. There's a whole thread dedicated to it.

    Of course, we're scared. The prospect of a no deal is horrible.


    Shortages of life saving meds for the people we love, the threat to our families and friends businesses, the threat to our jobs.


    The thing that has struck me is that Brexiteers dont have these fears. One might wonder if they were indeed heartless?
    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.

    It's cognative dissonance - they'll say they are willing to endure anything because of Brexit because they don't believe any of it can happen because they've been told it won't.


    There are Brexiteers on the DT board who have partners and family members who must have life saving medicine. But they seem completely nonchalant to the threat of a no deal Brexit to their families' health. They don't seem to care if people lose their jobs, if peoples' businesses go bust.



    They say things like - you have no back bone or you wouldn't have survived the war would you.


    Crazy thing is I doubt anybody who actually lived through the war is posting in DT. So they have some strange fantasy of what it was like to live throughthe war.




    I don't get it at all.

    The Tories biggest concern isn't the fallout from failing to deliver Brexit, it's the fallout from delivering it and witnessing reality slap 17,400,000 patriots around the head.

    Detailed breakdown of how Wirral voted in Referendum: 'The poorer the area, the bigger its Leave vote'
    https://www.wirralglobe.co.uk/news/14582313.detailed-breakdown-of-how-wirral-voted-in-referendum-the-poorer-the-area-the-bigger-its-leave-vote/




    Where I live, on the Wirral peninsula, the poorer more working class side of the Wirral voted Leave : the more affluent side of the Wirral voted Remain. The working class side of the Wirral stand to lose their jobs when Vauxhalls is closed down; yet they are still screaming for a No Deal Brexit.


    I don't get it? It's like they've all been brain washed.
