Too many thoughts.

The more I read about Brexit, the more scared I become. The reports I'm reading from reputable sources, are not painting an optimistic picture.

There are warnings around things that are perishable and that we rely on from outside the UK, specifically food and medicine. The reports are warning of food shortages, food prices rising by at least 10%, especially around fruit and vegetables, drugs and other treatments being unavailable.

Our own industries are fucked. Agriculture is in trouble, even with a deal. Manufacturing is in trouble. There's not a lot of optimism around a great deal of sectors.

The economy is going to tank. Today the pound is at a low point against the dollar, and it's performed poorly since June 2016.

I'm really scared about a No deal Brexit. It's going to annihilate the UK for years. Even a Deal might not be the optimal outcome. The only way to successfully move forward is to Remain, stay inside the EU and provoke change from within.

Christ.
