If things get worse due to exiting the EU, those people will eventually have nothing to eat anymore. They will die. Once they are all dead, it isn't a problem anymore.

I think the medicines shortages would get to people before the food shortages.

I heard one leave voter say he'd happily eat grass if he had to...

Yeah it seems that some brexiteers are so heavily emotionally invested into brexit they would sacrifice almost everything.

This is an extract from "Heroic Failure: Brexit and the Politics of Pain" by Fintan O’Toole, he draws a line between the 2016 Brexit campaign and the leave campaign for the 1975 referendum.

It's a very interesting read! His Thesis is that for many top brexiteers, Brexit never was about the EU itself and how it works but about the UK and its place in the world after WW2.
