** The Brexit Thread ** - 'Brexit Means Brexit'

I said earlier that a lot of people are bad at financial planning, but to be fair to those retired persons abroad, they couldn't have reasonably expected that the UK government would deliberately trash the economy. It's far beyond the usual currency fluctuations.

All extraordinarily true.

Plenty of other countries where living is cheap for retirees. Choices are available for those who find themselves in difficulty.

Absolutely.

Pensioners finding themselves abruptly without healthcare provision and suffering a 30% drop in income should immediately cut all ties and walk to Tirana.

Snowflakes, the lot of 'em.

Nearly 20 Labour Mps vote to destroy worker's rights, food standards and the environment and to end any attempts to support deprived areas. Expel them now.

Which is absolutely not the spirit of what I posted, of course, but on you go.

Living abroad is so much more than "cheap plonk and bit more sunshine"
for a great many broadminded and intelligent people.

Well, not most of the ones I have met, brains addled by too much red wine, skin cancer and liver disease seems to be the main afflictions.

Bulgaria? Greasy Food and uncomfy temperatures and humidity - luverly

That says more about the people you socialise with than expats in general!

Some questions for Brexit supporters based purely on economics
What happens after we leave with a deal?

What happens after we leave without a deal?

What are the next steps after either case scenario?


With the economy set to take 5 to 10% hit in either case senario,how does government expect to spent more money on the NHS,Police and schools?

How does the UK as a small country plan to negotiate on a level playing field with much bigger economies,such as the USA,China or the EU,what bargaining powers do we have?

I am genuinely interested in what you think happens next

Any of you Brexit supporters got any idea?

[kwackers]

Looks like October isn't happening.
I'm doing pretty well with my predictions I reckon.

Should have written them all down so I could go through and see if I got any of the details wrong.

Useful little tool this to check how your MP voted.

They weren't people I socialise with, just typical of the many wino euro expats I have met.

You wouldn't mind me passing on those comments of yours, to the British expat community in 'my' part of France, perhaps?

So the Government both won and lost by the recurring ratio 52:48.

Seems Parliament is just the same as the country.
