Worried about Brexit food shortages? North Korean haute couture has just the thing

Brextarvation

Well, the Brexiled people won't stay hungry. May (yes, she!) may make a good soup (what was that old proverb about chickens, I don't remember any more?). Johnson might be tasty grilled. Farage might be good as stew. Etc.

And now a little more serious (but not less dramatic) comment: You know that kind of medical doctors that always make bad health status predictions? If you die, everybody will say they are good doctors to make diagnosis. And if you happen to survive, they will be praised as wonderworkers. Υou face all the possible negative predictions now. After Brexit the things are probably going to be somewhat bad, maybe also very bad, I don't know, but not worse than that. So you'll praise tour wonderworking polititians who saved you from disasters.

And to mention the Godwin's law, too, and also the "Reductio ad Hitlerum", remember the nazi propaganda strategy when Russians were destroying the Reich from the east? The nazis spread the "fake news" about two big cities fallen in Russians' hands, and then, after a day or two, from the radio they tell the people not to believe to that propaganda. "Yes, we've temporary lost one of those two cities, and we are working on getting it back, but that story about the other city is completely false, don't trust the enemy propaganda!". And that kind of story was repeated several times. You, Brexiled people, are getting your share of nazi-like propaganda now... :-)

But beware...you'll be also faced with the austerity-related fairy tales, in order to continue the erosion of workers' and citizens' rights...

Already seen in several other EU states...
