I don't think we can apply logic to what the government are doing. They're all so invested in magic thinking at this point. You'd think given any possible scenario that they'd be ramping up SOMETHING right now. Like, if it was going to be a delay, you'd think there'd be something visible happening along those lines too.
I think May and a lot of people, find the dangers so hard to even think about, they're just not thinking about them.
People do this stuff all the time when deadlines are approaching, or when they're getting deeper and deeper in debt or what have you.
This, so much this, as someone looking from the outside the UK makes absolutely no sense what so ever right now, for comparison I totally get what is happening in the US, the GOP is a party made of absolutely crazy people, they have been going there a while, Trump is a crazy person, so you get stupid crazy stuff all the time, it makes sense.
With the UK though, sure David Cameron enjoyed his pork pie a little too much, but he wasn't crazy, Theresa May might be a bit of a 1984 nutter and generally incompetent but she is also not crazy, Jeremy Corbyn is also not crazy, yet the end result so far seems almost like the country is being run by the more extreme crazy elements despite them not actually holding power, worst of all most people in charge seem to be giving very little fucks about the whole thing, it just makes no sense, it is like the country has collectively decided to test trial massive stupidity to see how it goes.
