Some folks, it seems, will only be happy if we can manage to turn this situation into the disaster they claimed it would be and I feel that's quite perverse.
I can't see I've seen any evidence of this - we have to be careful that if someone says 'this isn't going to be as easy or simple as some think', it isn't interpreted as 'it's all going to fail' or being a 'remoaner'...

Some people are applying extremely simplistic approaches to a very complex subject, and get upset when this is pointed out - there's a huge difference between being realistic and being defeatist, but the two things seem synonymous in some people's eyes...
