The armed forces have activated a team in a nuclear-proof bunker under the Ministry of Defence as the government prepares next Monday to enter "very high readiness mode" for a no-deal Brexit, Sky News can reveal.

A number of war games have been conducted to help ready commanders for dealing with a range of possible eventualities in the event of a no-deal Brexit.

They're worried about food/petrol supply disruptions since good supply depends on the current relatively open border.

Nevertheless, the tone seems a bit over the top. With the Brit Gov this hyped up, it could get uglier than Ruby Ridge.

I was with them until the part about building an underground bunker city with a plan for them to repopulate the earth. Some references to Terry Southern and Col.Jack D. Ripper tipped me off it was nuts.

Nothing is going to happen except for the disappearance of the Schengen border between the UK and Europe.

They’re afraid they’ll have to import “chlorine-washed” chicken from the U.S. They should be so lucky.

I suppose it is the job of government to prepare for any eventuality. And Europe has seen plenty of war, and a lot of recent factionalist strife. Still, I agree, a bit over the top. I cannot imagine Europe is going to try to embargo the UK. Europe just wants their money.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe Britain was doing fine solo until their family feud over royal succession ended in 1066 at the Battle of Hastings with their Frenchified Viking cousin William’s army kicking their ass-even with that, they picked right up and got along fine for nearly 1000 years until they got into the EU-why are they freaking out about not having the EU now?

The British have become so passive aggressive. They have hundreds of Metropolitan Police to monitor Twitter and detain those who say things they don’t like . Meanwhile property crime has gone through the roof and they don’t even attempt to solve it . It’s no wonder they’re freaking out about the possibility of a supply disruption in food or petrol chains .

Betcha a dollar had Gen. Ripper not denied the ladies his essence, he wouldn’t have flipped his lid. It ain’t good to have all that baby batter backed up.

What happened to the Brits we all knew and loved. They’ve become a nation of wimps.
