Delingpole: Literally No One Cares About #Yellowhammer
2019-09-13
[Breitbart] Do you hear that sound ‐ so quiet it’s almost deafening? That’s the sound of 17.4 million fucks not being given about the Remoaners’ latest fake news scare story, codenamed Yellowhammer.

Actually, I think it’s highly likely that I have underestimated the sheer scale of fucks not being given.

We know that at the very least 17.4 million people don’t give a toss what these released documents say. But that figure fails to take into account all the millions more who either didn’t turn up to vote Brexit because they thought ‐ not unreasonably ‐ that the Establishment would contrive to ignore their decision. Nor the millions who voted Remain but have since changed their minds having realised just how disgusting the Remoaner Liberal Elite actually are and just how vile and vindictive the anti-democratic European Union is.

Yellowhammer ‐ for what it’s worth ‐ is the code name for some worst-case-scenario documents, prepared by the Remainer Civil Service, as an exercise to wargame a No Deal Brexit.

John Bercow’s Remainer parliament, in its death throes, has contrived to force them to be released publicly so that everyone can tremble at the dire consequences ‐ delays at ports, possible shortages of vital foodstuffs that Remainers like to eat such as quinoa and chia seeds, more angry videos from Femi Sorry ‐ of a No Deal Brexit.

But the only people who take this theoretical nonsense seriously are Remoaners. It’s their latest version of Project Fear, that’s all.

And since Remoaners don’t count that means that literally no one cares about Yellowhammer.

I’m amazed I even bothered to write about it.

Sorry about that. Here’s a picture of a real Yellowhammer to make up for it.

#10  Oh, I've never doubted what you said would come to pass. All the trouble that's in store for Britain after brexit. It's true. Maybe not sackcloth and ashes, but they'll just barely avoid it.

I have great faith in the incalculable, see. Providence, the power of human will, the momentum of life itself. Order and progress shall find a way, eventually. But if the will of the inhabitants of the land is overridden, no convenience is worth it.

#9  Well they prepared for Dorian in Florida, didn't they? And rightfully so.

#8  Well it's lying in a desk somewhere here (I gave you a very shortened version).

I guess Trump would say: "We'll see what happens."

#7  In Delingpole's screed I don't see a reasoned evaluation of the arguments made by the 'Hammers.

This isn't IPCC / M. Mann modeling mayonnaise. These are very specific near-term sequences of events that can easily be modeled.

I think this is one where we need to see a patient, sober, heavily analytical evaluation of each scenario.

#6  I'm not surprised, EC. Their bureaucratic efficacy being what it is, even your list is lying in a desk somewhere in Whitehall.☺

#5  Our list was done before Yellowhammer was known.

#4  Well events like these are considered in order to deal with them in time. That's only reasonable.

#3  Yellowhammer is a list of contingencies expected by the cabinet, that everyone from Law enforcement to health and communications were asked to be prepped for by the secretariat. Some remainers and critics say it was made public to normalize the fact of a UK divorced and isolated from the EU.

Something like the list EC shared with us. Although that listed purely corporate-bureaucratic inconveniences.
