I remember the 1970's , food shortages , power cuts and fuels rationing , we survived that just as we'll survive anything EU departure can throw at us , I'm ready for the pain in order to get the gain.
Am just saying lets not go pretending that this isn't the absolute worse case, its the "base case" and the government chose to change it for some reason. That should at the very least be raising a few eyebrows

The entire purpose of the Yellowhammer document is for mitigation against a worst case scenario. The very opposite of sticking heads in the sand.
No one is saying it will come out 'peachy', rather poiting out that just talking about worst case scenarios and pretending the sky is falling is nothing more that Remainer propaganda - taking the worst case and scenario, assuming no mitigation, and proclaiming end times.
The document is, depending on which title you believe, either a base case or a reasonable worst case. Nothing about the sky falling in but a set of very reasonable assumptions.
If you read through the thread you will see numerous posts denying the accuracy of the document. People sticking their heads in the sand are posters on this site, not the authors of the document.

It's a worst case based on the reality we live in.
If you choose to believe something else, that is up to you.

The 'pre-release' version is what the UK Government provided the Scottish Government before spin was applied.

Regardless of what particular title used the assumptions used are all pretty realistic.
It's neither a disaster movie scenario nor sugar coating reality. It seems a realistic assessment of what will happen given a no deal exit.

Some places lose like 40% of there water before it ever reaches a tap if memory serves.
Show me another service provider that can lose that amount of there product and still stay in business and ile be rather surprised.
Neglect, underfunding, and just plain stupidity where our water companies are concerned seems to be the colour of the day.

eletheia people want more not less, especially for the next generation. That's just how first-world nations function.
Truth is we should embrace it whilst we still have the legs to carry us, because the millennials have not got the minerals for it, as its been breed out of them in their parent's basements.
