Default B-DAY

We're a matter of weeks away from Brexit-Day, despite a new survey showing a 52-48 split in favour of Remain, we're on our way to chaos.

When / if we leave on the 31st January, apart from the main issue being whether Big Ben rings at 11pm or not, what do we expect to happen?

'No Deal' Brexit was lauded as a ****ing disaster and the revised 'BoJo Deal' Brexit hasn't been received as much better. Will bees die? Will Mummy still have to recycle? Who will stock the first straight banana? Will the Spaniards invade our waters to steal our fish? Will remainers riot? Will anyone non-white-Brit just disintegrate (like in Game of Thrones when the Night King is killed).

Will it just be a complete non-event?

Any currency predictions?
Any housing market predictions?
Any.....other predictions?

I predict that there will be a massive investment in new power generation, renewable and otherwise, to meet the rising demand caused by the influx of high-powered hoovers. Loads of jobs all around.

I predict that post Brexit, Scotland will head off into the arms of the EU, only to be spurned, then, the sporran empty, into the arms of the IMF, only to be asset stripped (water, fish, NHS, whisky and haggis), then cast onto the scrapheap of failed states, all by 2025...

Primarily non-event. The biggest losers will be the legitimacy of the "expert" classes. Life will go on. Scotland will not leave.

Government will be issuing new 50p pieces, also spending £167 million on a Brexit festival.

A sharp increase in immigration from brown/Muslim countries to replace all of the white Christian Europeans who "f**k off back home" as instructed. Although that's already happening.

Almost daily newspaper front pages with sad gloomy middle-Englanders upset about ruined holidays, lost savings, consequential unemployment. Expect lots of "They nevva told us this could happen " and "we didn't vote for this "

That's the kind of positive thinking that could keep Britain afloat.

Whilst it's probably the least mature attitude to have, I'm not bothered about admitting that this is partly why I'm waiting with just a minuscule amount of excitement instead of constant "what the **** is about to happen". I look forward to seeing some morons suffer.

If we have to go to all the trouble and expense of an other f***ing referendum and SCEXIT might we not throw Wales in too, kind of a BOGOF and make it WASEXIT. Thinking on, the Cornish want out too. In fact, why not go the whole hog and break the whole lot up to pre-union times. It would be like a lot of little Monaco's. More likely it would be like one Monaco and a bunch of war ravaged states something akin to the former Yugoslavia. Lancashire would immediately revert to type a lay siege to Yorkshire and the Brumies would look on knowing themselves to be the next target. The Scots would go in search of a French King to overthrow the Scottish assembly and the whole place would revert to one dirty great big Klan war.

I was referring to London, Due to global warming the outer London boroughs become sea front property with a shiny new marina in the middle. Accepted, It will be a pain in the arse moving everything about initially but in the long run I like it. Fortunately Newport becomes sea bed.

So, Londoners would be surrounded by water?

Could we build a wall and just keep letting the water flow in?
