This is not a thread about a thread but...

I think Nonnie has hit the issue on the head - while not being worried about our own situation, I feel it's a bit selfish to be happy in our bubble and not be concerned about the population as a whole.

I'm sick of hearing about it all. What will happen is beyond the control of us little people, so there's no point in worrying about any of it.

I've got other things, other people, to think about.

I can't say I'm worried myself, although it is a worrying situation. There are people for whom it is more of a problem and I have sympathy for them.

I'm sure that, what ever happens, we ordinary folk will muddle through and cope.

It's the state of Parliament and all the in-fighting that's embarrassing. Thank goodness most of the work of running the country is done by the civil service! Belgium was without a proper government for, I think, 3 years but is still functioning.

I'm with you. What will happen, will happen. Worrying never changed anything.

Not sure about the word 'afraid' but I am genuinely concerned for all those who will be harmed by it. We will be OK and we are currently making a profit on our US shares because of the fall of the £ but what about those who couldn't afford to feed their children in the school holidays? What about those worried they will lose their jobs? In very simplistic terms if the £ only buys 75% of what it did it must be harmful to UK.

Sometimes I wish I wasn't a news junkie and that I didn't worry about people I don't know. On balance I think I prefer to be me.

I am worried on behalf of others. Basically, I'm alright Jack.

Not just you gonegirl

I am not in the UK at the moment and realise that other parts of the world have immediate and genuine worries which are not nebulous 'what ifs'.

No it's not just you Gonegirl I too have other things to worry about and just watch from the sidelines re all things Brexit related. I think some posters get a kick out of "sensationalising" their posts to get a reaction, which always works on the politics threads.
