Will Brexit be like the collapse of the Soviet Union?

The UK is the only country that is ever leaving the EU. . .

What a ridiculous thing to say. Why wreck all that is good. It has taken us several hundred years to get to this point. Wrecking it in the hope of something better isn't going to happen in your time. Just look at Zimbabwe, Syria and now Venezuela. All once thriving societies now decimated. Is that what you want?

When you listen to the current rhetoric from Brextremists, it is clear they would be perfectly happy to see the UK become another Zimbabwe if it meant leaving the EU. There is no logic and no thought involved. It is a religious position and deeply associated with racism and the radical Right and with the closed minds of the privileged and the comfortable.

Of course, all of those Tory and Brexit numpties across the Home Counties who caused Brexit are going to end up devastated when they realise that the high house prices they shelter under and considered indefinite are going to plunge downwards after a Hard Brexit. Not to mention there will be many cold shocks to all those comfy pension payments.

2; Brexit was a class Issue. Those of wealth and privilege and capital overwhelmingly backed remain. Shameful that the party of the working class backed them.

Scotland will leave the union and Northern Ireland will probably have a border poll to rejoin the Republic, undoubtedly leading to violence.

England and Wales will collapse into a deep recession. Leavers and remainers will blame each other. London and the South will be hit hard, but it will be nothing compared to the carnage in the North, the Midlands and Wales. Unemployment will sky rocket, the NHS and public services will basically collapse, violence, crime and homelessness will become an epidemic, living standards will fall dramatically, millions will become unemployed, thousands upon thousands will die unnecessarily.

Curfews will be put in place and the military will be placed on the streets. The Tory/Brexit Party coalition government will permanently prorogue parliament and indefinitely suspend elections as they are undemocratic. Undesireables, such as ethnic minorities, communists, homosexuals, remain voters and other degenerates will be designated as having views contrary to the "WILL OF THE PEOPLE" and placed into "protection camps" for their own safety, where they will be kept in cages. A thousand years of darkness will descend across the world.

This is very silly. The entire Home Counties and all of the wealthiest areas right across Southern England were heavily Brexit. You are talking about a few particularly left of centre towns like Oxford and Cambridge, which were like little islands of thought in a sea of racist reflux.

If you think brexit will turn the U.K. into Zimbabwe you need your head examined. No deal will be economically damaging but it will not reduce us to that. I agree that it is quasi religious movement - it is a glorious protest against people who want us to be good little materialist conformists and just act like bots they accuse brexiteers of being. As a hard leftist I would rather be on the side of Mogg (and Corbyn) then on the same side as Merkel, Blair, Osborne , Goldman Sachs et al who have run this country to the ground under the last thirty years under the auspices if the EU.

As for your second point:

1: Good!

2 is completely and demonstrably false. Just look at the ****ing numbers rather than spouting this fake news ********.

Members of lower social economic classes overwhelmingly voted to remain by a ratio of 4:1.
The average leave voter is an old rich white man from the south of England.

The key determinants of Leave vs Remain are 1) age (the u30s overwhelmingly voted remain) 2) education level (university educated people overwhelmingly voted remain) and 3) daily newspaper readership (readers of the Mail, Express, Telegraph all voted leave)

I’m sure that’s something despite throughout the ages have said. Better the devil you know...

Perhaps it won’t be better in my time but hopefully my children’s or there’s. If it’s not better in my time so be it. Unlike liberals I’m willing to make that Sacrifice on my own material pleasure.

What odd and completely irrelevant examples. If you’re looking for actual historical example if a scare story China and the French Revolution are better examples- and yes I’d defend them too.

No, the people of Britain are...

1) smart
2) hard working
3) systematic

There will be no collapse, short term pain for long term gain. The economy will rebound, the EU will be in a mess however as they won't get the £39 billion, while having the basket cases of Greece and Portugal to bail out every few years. Matter of time before the germans kick them out of the EU.

If you want to better your kids, educate them. Whether you wreck the place and they have to start again or find a place in what we have, if you don't have money to give them the only way for them to succeed is through education.

We live in a skills based world now. Even traditional manual trades are now highly skilled jobs.

Newsflash: The British are no smarter, systematic or more hard-working than any other nationality. We just have a significant amount of capital accumulated from centuries of pillaging, thieving and slave-trading. Its only our extremely fortunate position within the EU that has kept us in the exalted position we are after the collapse of the Empire.

We live in a society buddy

Without the UK, France and Germany, the EU is nothing. They are losing a 1/3 of their power basically by the UK leaving, I say we go for no deal brexit and tell them to go whistle when they come for the £39 billion.
