WE British are normally very well organised.

In fact, if we were post a list of nations to organise something we would probably come in the top two alongside the Germans.

Leaving the EU was always going to be a difficult but the past year has shown that we are actually very bad at organising and planning things.

We are awful. I think on this occasion it may well have been better to tender out Brexit to a foreign nation who may well have handled it a lot better than us.

I got told by Pakistani expats that their country is perceived to be poorly organised yet it functions. We are all the same now.

In all these weeks of discussions, meetings and votes nothing has actually changed. There are two choices – a chaotic exit or a more civilised one.

In both cases a lot of our lives will be affected.

I am not for another vote on the issue or delaying things because we are British and we don’t like going back on decisions.

Once the people have spoken – it is time to act.

Most people will be resigned to the fact that we will be leaving even though it was not exactly what we thought it would be.

The strange thing is we have hardened supporters of Leave and sections of the media still trying to put a brave face on this whole situation.

I just wish for a moment the Leave supporters would just admit that this was a poor idea all round.

And maybe it wasn’t the best thing to vote to leave an organisation that wasn’t that bad after all.

The only light relief we are getting from this constant barrage of ‘Brexit’ related nonsense (to which you can well add this column) are the stories about the wonderful and thoughtful people who are stockpiling.

Again, this is a very British thing to do.

Let’s be clear, fresh fruit, toilet rolls and medicines are not going to run out.

There is no need to panic – life will go on.

It reminds me of the time back in 1999 when we all being told to prepare for a major computer meltdown.

The ‘Millennium Bug’, also known as the Y2K problem taught many of us never ever to trust large faceless organisations, those who try sell us training packages and the government in general.

At least the latter advice makes more sense every day.
