>Are there constant rolling blackouts

NI could face blackouts by 2024 due to coal plant shutdowns. new gas plants arent scheduled until 2026.

> Is there a currency crisis

the pound recently dipped under the dollar and has seen rampant instability due in part to the mismanagement and inception of brexit.

> Are banks collapsing

not yet. solvency is to a great extent maintained by london at present however brexit is currently ushering a slow-rolling disaster. jobs and investment are declining at such a rate that the UK had to manufacture a fresh fruit crisis to divert attention from the transit trade sector which by all indication had collapsed.

> Is there a state of anarchy that lead to the deployment of the Military

id hate to sound like a dead horse, but EU membership legislation largely kept the peace after the troubles. no real plan was in place to assure it didnt slide back into a sectarian nightmare after the collapse of EU membership, and whatever is being endorsed currently is tentative at best and approved without a lot of thought.
