  • Deal with EU will make food cheaper and add £9bn to UK economy, says No 10

  • we're not exactly living in the utopian society that we were promised

    I've no idea what promises you're referring to. I'd be astonished if anyone promised that brexit would bring about a utopian society, that seems like hyperbole verging on ridiculousness on your part.

    If anything brexit has proven to be as disastrous as everyone who opposed it predicted.

    I've no idea what predictions you're referring to or what disasters.

    The brexit voters are utterly unprepared to accept they made a mistake

    I don't see how voting for brexit was a mistake. Again, the UK is out of the EU. Seems successful to me.

    No. It would be the opposite of great.

  • also on items we sell to ourselves

    You're claiming that the deal with the EU contains clauses which obligate the UK to use the EU's rules for food sold domestically in the UK?

  • The Brexit faithful will never stop believing and inventing new reasons it failed.

    What are you talking about, "failed"? The UK is not a member of the EU anymore.

    On items we sell to the EU. Critical omission.

  • who fucked us all over in the first place

    Brexit was money well spent as far as I'm concerned. Fuck the EU.

  • Pre-civilized societies didn’t let power-hungry individuals take over.

    Pre-civilized societies were small.

    The real question isn't whether bad actors exist. It's how we choose to deal with them. Do we build systems that make it harder for them to dominate others, or ones that practically roll out the red carpet?

    This seems like a misunderstanding to me. The people don't build systems. The people are subjected to systems built by dominating bad actors.

  • I think it will be a slow, drawn out but painful decline.

    Can I ask what's made you think that?

  • That's because the important bit is the "gave £330 million to Palantir" and not the "NHS data platform". Palantir execs are laughing, NHS managers are paying their mortgages, all is well. Where's the problem?

  • I don't think we can predict it

    Ummm...

    I believe the decline will happen in our lifetimes

    ....that's a prediction :-)

    Here's mine:

    First famine: 2028

    World reaching half 2025 population: 2030/31

    Year brexit becomes irrelevant: 2028

    Again, I'm totally mystified about your focus on brexit.

  • None of us can predict that

    Sure we can. A prediction is stating what we think will happen, not stating what will happen.

    It will be gradual, and we will suffer a painful decline long before other countries in mainland Europe

    What do you mean by "long"?

  • Drought conditions already hitting UK crop production, farmers say

  • it will be gradual rather than instantaneous

    Of course it won't be "instantaneous" but I still can't see how brexit will have an impact. The people who experience the first famine will be the same ones who experience the death of billions. Brexit will mean nothing.

    I'm curious, would you be willing to put some dates to your expectations?

    1. Year of first famine.
    2. Year that population reaches half of 2025 population.
    3. Year that brexit ceases to be relevant to living people.

  • When we're facing food shortages around the world, the UK will suffer before others.

    Firstly, this doesn't follow from what preceded it. States in the EU aren't the only states on the planet that export food.

    Secondly, I think I see what you're trying to say: you think that as the planet slides into famine, the UK will be worse off compared to EU states in particular because during the slide into death, the slope will be ever so slightly steeper than some countries in the EU.
