I find the whole Brexit business disturbing too but when crying doesn't help, laughing might stop one from getting clinically depressed, so I... choose to appreciate Mrs May's shoes!
I much fear, however, unless stopped, Brexit will end up being an unmitigated disaster. The downward economic spiral, for most of us, started on the very next day of that insane result; and it's continuing unabated. I much fear, its most traumatic result will be the inexorable demise of our NHS.
Talking of self harm!
Of course, those whose machinations brought us to this, will prosper. Farage already said, "If Brexit doesn't work, I'll leave Britain." He's irritated so many with his xenophobia, racism and lies that, no wonder, Philip Pullman called him " a b***ock-faced foghorn of ignorance."
Remember all those millions of pounds our NHS would get if we got out of the EU that Brexiters like Farage, Boris, and Gove kept promising ? Now, if you don't want to die waiting, you have to ...book an appointment with A&E at least 2 days before your accident, not to mention an ambulance!
Sane, learned, ethical people tried to bring to politicians' attention the harm of Brexit on our nation; but loud-mouthed Brexiters are deaf and so are all those crypto-Brexiters.
Thank you, Phaidra. I have read both links and now feel more anxious about Brexit than ever, though the ironic comments made me smile painfully.
I think the IN people didn't really do a good job of properly explaining the pros and cons, whilst the gutter press, xenophobes and racists had a field day, every day. I admit that it took me quite a while to decide which way to vote and it was mostly the fact that it was Putin, Trump and Farage that were amongst those who wanted Britain to leave the EU that convinced me it could not possibly be good for Britain.
May and Corbyn, who, in my opinion, are crypto-Brexiters, are saying they're respecting the will of the people, so when the people suffer as a result, they can tell them, that's what you wanted!
And now we are leaving a huge market to join the Americans so we can have chlorinated chicken. How wise is that!
I hope this thread is the right place for garden-themed jokes.
A young lad starts his first job in a garden centre. "The art of salesmanship," says the colleague supervising him, "is to get people to buy more than they planned. You have to make connections. For instance, if someone buys a packet of lawn seed, you tell them they won't get the best out of it unless they also buy a top-of-the-range fertiliser. If they agree to buy that, then you suggest that they save themselves another visit by buying a lawnmower, because they're soon going to need one.
"Now, go and ask that young lady over there what she's looking for, and whatever she wants, try and think of something else she'll need to go with it." As the youngster approaches the lady, he notices she's looking uncomfortable and embarrassed. She whispers in his ear, "I don't suppose I can buy tampons or sanitary towels here, can I?"
"I'm afraid not, madam," he says, "but you could buy your husband a lawnmower."
"Why should I do that?"
"Well, his weekend's ruined, so he might as well mow the lawn."

Don't despair, B3. Miracles do happen!

But, never say die!
How about Boris's floral bloomers?
Bloomers, Artemis? Aren't bloomers lace-trimmed?
Hi Phaidra, I've tried to find Professor Weetman's letter but not successfully. Any help, please?
Hi Danae, if you scroll down to HEALTHCARE REFORM
As for lace-trimmed bloomers, I think they do come without also!

Self-harm and own-goal, of course, but the chicken is going to be clean!
