The UK's economy crashing was indeed a prediction meant to be taken literally, it wasnt a figure of speech . But u dont accept figure of speech from the other side.

Well for the pleasure of arguing, I would say that there are plausible situations, and totally impossible ones, accepted as such by everyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you honestly expect that Boris would kill himself in a ditch ? If anyone took it seriously as a suicide intention statement ,They would have helped him and taken him to the Doctors and try to convince him not to commit suicide. No one took it seriously at all .............apart from you 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those predictions of what would happen to the UK if we left the E.U were not figures of speech , they were genuine predictions 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was referring to the fact that "food shortages , fields going unharvested , starvation , no drugs coming in from the E.U and the health system will collapse , millions of non British people being forced to leave the UK " was to be considered on the same level than " dead in a ditch " 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunroaming Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 I think we all need to see how this pans out. Some things will take months to get into place and some (like Fishing ) will take five years plus. For weeks I have been trying to get customs forms to export some of my goods into the UK from mainland Europe though Calais. I have now been told that going into the UK all goods will be waved through as they haven't got a procedure in place for proper customs checks. Also, although principles have been agreed, there is still a lot of negotiating to be done on actual procedures. It is probably fortuitous that 75% of Britain is in virtual lockdown so there is very little import/export going on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you really believe that "food shortages , fields going unharvested , starvation , no drugs coming in from the E.U and the health system will collapse , millions of non British people being forced to leave the UK " wasn't an overstatement, and could/can really happen, and that you think other people believe that too, and not immediately understand it is an exaggeration, you are for sure very naïve. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
