Reminder: There are people in power who actively aim for this result
Here's the papers on the government website

I just hope we prepare for the inbound food shortages ASAP, otherwise things are going to get ugly real quick.
Isn't it funny that all is publicly pushed over a year after Article 50 was enacted rather than, y'know, during the Brexit referendum itself?
please let us vote on it again before it goes ahead
At the time of the referendum, I'm pretty sure Leavers thought the would be top-shelf negotiations to make those nice sovereignty-preserving deals Leave proponents assured everyone would be made.
And then the UK has been completely useless and retarded in negotiations and basically nothing got done. At one point May was acting like the way things were going to go was that the UK would get several extra years of grace while it negotiated deals with the EU, something the EU never offered or was inclined to entertain.
The whole thing has been predicated on assuming the best-case scenario for everything, and surprise, that didn't happen.
Behold as an entire nation throws itself off a cliff because people are too up themselves to admit they got hoodwinked by a bunch of rich boys in a sham referendum.
Despite literal near half of population for leave soft Brexit, but morons still forget not Majority of UK didn’t choose hard leave with most consequential effects.
Specially possible British Stock Market crash could triggered after they leave EU.
GG. It's like ya'll looked over here, watched us elect Donald Trump, then went 'Hold my beer'.
Facepalm.swf (humor, wtf, reaction)
and the tories giggle with glee
basically this is like when someone does a toxx clause where they'll either eat rat poison or get permabanned, and they actually decide to eat the rat poison
So what we have here is the best case scenario of the worst case scenario.
Well, good luck everybody.
Except 'going ahead' was enacting Article 50, which happened way back on the 29th of March, 2017.
This was of course long before most of the stuff had worked out what would need to be done,, because 1.9% difference in a controversial, non-binding referendum means that you automatically have to go full hard Brexit.
except they can still back out of it
even to this day
Only if the EU allows it
Which the EU has been consistently clear they are going to allow.
How long does the UK have? This will lead to renewed calls for Scottish and North Irish independence, and put the UK in a major collapse.
The scots will never leave. They like to moan about how badly treated they are and how they hate the union but; the union gives them political oomph on an international scale, they are a (massively) net-beneficiary tax-wise (meaning they simply couldn't afford to provide the same level of care toward their citizens if they left), they are largely reliant upon the UK when it comes to trade and trade networks and, if they did leave, the one Scottish constituency that has said it would leave and join the UK is the one that owns the rights to North Sea Oil.
Scotland leaving the UK would hurt them even worse than leaving the EU is hurting the UK.
Northern Island could feasibly leave but, frankly, if they want to I say let them. Holding onto NI has been an utter clusterfuck for the UK for the last century.
Damn, I thought negotiations had collapsed and no-deal Brexit was going to become a reality. What a shame.

feel free to ignore this again
Why would you want no-deal brexit? Wouldn't that just be a loss for the UK?
Like brexiting is bad enough, but isn't no-deal the worst possible thing for brits?
He expects that a no-deal Brexit will isolate the UK from its main trading partners, and as a result it will have little choice but to turn to New Zealand, among other countries, to replace the lost trade. And as NZ's trade picks up, Boilrig will personally profit.
I'm not joking.
This is what happens if you listen to empty rhetoric instead of experts.
Learn from it, UK
I think that's his overall point, he's not British, he doesn't care what happens to us. He's starting to sound like a cliche'd anime antagonist with every Brexit thread he posts in.
He wants the UK to suffer.
No offence, normally I'd just let you have your opinions and what ever - but a no deal is just inherently bad for everyone. I feel shame for the EU in how I feel they aren't being pragmatic enough in their negotiations (Kind of them pushing their weight around and saying "Our way or the high way") - However claiming that there not being an announcement of a definitive no-deal outcome is "shameful" is just showing downright ignorance.
This is our country we're talking about. The United Kingdom. Not New Zealand. I don't know if this is just you being inflammatory, ill witted or just outright absent, but this time the only thing that is shameful is your disregard for your fellow posters. If you feel like this community disagrees with you, I implore you to find other online communities whom's views align more closely to your own. I think my take home point is that you post offers no substance. Come back when you have something meaningful to say, otherwise just shut up.
He’s profiting off this, so he’s all for it.
If electing to burn down half a countryside results in more people doing business with NZ, he’d happily elect to throw a torch.
