    Toilet rolls are purchased.
    Found a bulb or two+table lamp including bulb.
    Food is being built up mainly in freezer once I eat all the tasty seeded fresh bread+rolls over next week or two.
    There's a sense of non panicking, though I wasn't getting left without and if by a small miracle the deal presses ahead over next few weeks -then I'll get into bulk buying again which I fell away from when I moved jobs+home.
    Think I'll continue to maybe add some kind of dry to tinned food over next few days.
    Almost forgot -Haven't lifted cash from ATM -that's a last minute transaction for myself, though this could change rapidly depending on tomorrow's vote which I wake up to this morning with rumours of no vote going ahead again.
    Managed to swipe a few pounds into VM Savings account which could be swiped into current account in a day or two, hopefully.
    I could possibly have very small amount of cash <50 pounds at home, though that could get used.

    The EU won't let us have April. We'll be stuck in March forever. Always winter and never Christmas. #SecondReferendumNow

    You won't be saying that on April the 1st. You'll just keep moving the goalposts.

    Ah, but there's a big problem with the bit I highlight in bold above and it appears that you're having a little difficulty understanding what a "dictator" is.
    ;)
    You see, "Mogg and his goons" as you so eloquently phrase it are not in any position of power.
    They cannot do anything without the backing of a majority in the HoP.
    Some "dictator" that, if you need a majority to support anything you want to do.
    :D

    You realise that is how all dictators start right? You seem to be under the insane impression that things you don't want to change, won't change and things you want to change will change during brexit.

    So how we're doing up to now is 100% irrelevant, but if it makes you feel safe then cling on to that delusion.

    They start being dictators by not being dictators?

    Technically true but not very useful information.

    You are missing the point, on purpose maybe...

    They start by using populism to convince people that less democracy is good.

    Look how Reese Mogg went from saying we should have two referendums, to how another referendum would be the largest betrayal ever. It's classic psychology. People are falling for it hook line and sinker and are angry that there is a chance they might be given some control over their future.
