Re: Y2K
I'm surprised you recycled the Y2K argument considering the audience... this ain't the Daily Mail.
You could actually plan and do something about Y2K, and people did. What can you do against Brexit when the date is not fixed and what's going to happen depends on the whims of a bunch of narcisists and 100,000 Conservative Party members who might as well live on a different planet?
Your corporation has decided the UK's cheap enough (thanks to the battering the pound has taken) and it'll be alright on the night. That might even be true, but all the same it's no way to run a country.
