I really hope I'm wrong.

The UK people who voted Conservative for a hard Brexit did so thinking it'll make the country better.

Your side won and you've got what you wanted. Now we will see if the warnings from remainers and the left are project fear or whether they are true.

I've predicted a doubling down on thatcherite economics, a poorer country and trade deals which open up health and education to US companies. I don't think many of the people who voted for Johnson want these things.

Things could get fairly bad or extremely bad. I want to be wrong but I fear that I'm not.

I fear that you are correct. The only consolation is that the worst of it will likely take some time to emerge, which also means that there will be time to deal with the consequences, and work to mitigate them. Good luck.

@windinhishair Unless Britain has become a nation of nothing but soft, limp wristed pansies, I believe England will land on her feet and swiftly recover.

@NativeOregonian We shall see. The voting for the Conservative Johnson indicates that the population of soft, limp wristed pansies is quite high.

@windinhishair I'd say labor is made up of the pansies because they would rather stay and be subjugated to a foreign bureaucracy that tells them what to do and how to do it, they forget the former glory that was the UK.

@NativeOregonian You mean when they were subjugating other people, etc. ? That was colonialism, and hardly glorious. 😒

@bijouxbroussard I mentioned in another thread that other than the colonial imerialism, England and the UK had a glorious history, and that for centuries the country was strong and held its own against others, and that the UK can do it again, that leaving was the best thing to do, but it seems like the remainer whiners don't wish to do such a thing.

@NativeOregonian Except that the colonialism was a huge part of it, euphemistically referred to as “empire-building”. And now they wonder why they have so many immigrants from the nations they “settled”,”civilized”(disrupted) and then “liberated”.
