Not at all "unfounded" but very clearly and factually based on what you've actually had and what you're losing the moment you've left, simply by those rights being nonexistent in any domestic legislation (or impossible to supply by just that).
We’ll all be in Victorian work houses within 5 years. All dependent on EU charity food parcels.
Your government has just installed a new minister for food rationing. I'm sure that'll fill you with confidence, if nothing else.
But as I understand it, you did want to go back to the time before your EU membership and it seems you're about to get your wish.
Great that you just got a new minister for suicide prevention, too.
Why is there not more hysteria in the UK?
Brexit itself is the result of sheer hysteria. Pretty much everybody in the EU27 is just looking on in disbelief and no small amount of pity.

Please note that each time a conditional tense is used in this article, it is because the British government does not guarantee those particular rights to remain intact under its own sovereign law! Their retention is thus solely dependent on the UK remaining subjected to the EU's legislation in this particular domain.
You seem not to understand 'may lose' very well yourself, thinking everything will just be rolled over in British law, in case of no deal: it theoretically could for most part, but the British government clearly does not intend to do so in many cases touching upon litterally everybody's daily life.
And note that in many cases the UK government even can't provide those rights since they would now require a bilateral treaty with the EU, and in quite a few cases the EU won't and can't offer rights reserved for EU citizens which UK citizens won't be any longer.

Yup, that pretty much nails it, while the brexiteers kept pretending it was the other way around!
