Quite apart from anything else, we've had doom laden 'experts' tell us we'd be farked since pretty much day +1 after the vote and they've been made to look pretty stupid now already.
I'm reasonably sure anything we get currently from the EU there will be other places queuing up to sell us their stuff.
to quote a Mr D. Vader 'I find your lack of faith... disturbing'
Our country will really go under if we all convince ourselves we're all as useless as we're made out to be, some of us remember a time pre EU & we seemed to roll just fine.

Seriously.. Seriously? Yes. Stop. We're going to lose roaming phone charges, lets abort! ffs.
All of the above will affect the EU (or those touristy type places in the eu) far more than us. You just don't go there, and go somewhere else (who do you think suffers more) I'll say it again, and keep saying it. The World is BIGGER than the eu. There is no shortage of nice places to goad see outside of the eu. Any kind of 'punitive crap they pull will in the end, affect them far more than us.

David Cameron was rightly criticised for not planning for a leave vote. Theresa May is rightly being criticised for not planning for a lack of agreement with the EU.
We need to learn lessons from the referendum vote and plan for both eventualities. That's why our elected representatives are concerned.

the national interest at risk by failing to prepare for the “real prospect” that two years of Brexit negotiations could end with no deal.
The criticism – and warnings of dire consequences – is levelled at May by the all-party foreign affairs select committee only days before she is expected to trigger article 50 – the formal process that will end the UK’s 44-year membership of the European Union.
After a detailed inquiry into what would happen if Brexit negotiations failed, the Tory chairman of the committee, Crispin Blunt, a supporter of leaving the EU, said: “The possibility of ‘no deal’ is real enough to require the government to plan how to deal with it.

The question Parliament is raising is - why haven't we prepared for no agreement with the EU. I appreciate that this is an uncomfortable subject for some but it's an important one for our future.

Maybe there was no one in place to fire him?
