That's why I am not strongly on one side or the other, more like 'wait and see'.
Whatever will happen will happen and all the hand wringing in the world won't change a thing.
You assume that I think the way I do because I have a confirmation bias which is just not realistic. I don't have any kind of allegiance to one news source or the other. The reason why I hold analytical view points in high esteem is because there's so many all over the world that are saying the same thing and when that view is reinforced by the Yellowhammer report and so far, they have no been wrong once.

I'm certainly not wringing my hands, my viewpoint has always been the same, you can't run from reality and hoping for the best without preparing for the worst is pointless.
