I kind you saying that now Mourinho.

Something about your pension rights and Spain as I recall?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nah, I'm Spanish. We don't want a weak pound, it hurts tourism.

Pensioners who relocated out here on a GBP pension might be feeling the bite though.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
The missus and I moved out to Portugal buying our house out here at the start of the year. Thankfully our income isn't tied to the pound.

If we flogged the house on for the price we paid only a few months ago and bought back Sterling maybe early next year, we'd make a very, very tidy sum indeed and could upgrade back in England.

But then we'd have to move back to England. Feck that
----------------------------------------------------------------------

One thing - Currently EU countries net their health service expenses on foreign EU nationals - e.g. Spain and the UK work out how much they owe each other and whoever has the greatest bill to foot receives the difference from the other (or something along the lines, in theory at least).

How's all that going to work once you're out of the EU?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
First point: the amount the UK claims back of this is a disgustingly low percentage compared to most countries, which raises serious questions of inefficiency in the NHS, as opposed to questions of our relationship with the EU.
---

Where do you get this info? I heard that UK claims were lower thn those made by other countries, but that might have to do not only with sheer numbers of people, but also their profiles as contributors to a country's tax system and their profile in terms of healthcaare needs.

The IMF, a clear remain supporter just last month identified us as what they expect to be the highest growing economy in europe this year
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Don't know where you got this one, but definitely not the IMF - probably some source misreporting the IMF:

Well said Sizzle, amusing how the Brexiters are trying to justify their action, by telling us we are all going to be jumping for joy at losing money hand over fist.

For all the insults wading around, I don't know one Leave voter who hadn't predicted that this would happen in the short term. A successful Brexit is a long term goal, which we all knew would cause uncertainty and panic in the immediate aftermath - in all honesty it has probably not been as bad as I or other leave voters that I know had expected.

In fact, I'd argue that it's not been as bad as Remain and the likes of Sizzle etc expected, hence the embarrassingly desperate attempts to berate any negative developments post Brexit. The financial apocalypse simply hasn't happened.

I do not believe in the future of the EU. I didn't before the vote and I still do not now.

Haha

Not sure anyone has to justify anything.

The people of the U.K. have voted and their vote is to leave the U.K. in the full knowledge that their would be financial repercussions for some time.

The housing market has been well over inflated in the U.K. and particularly in the SE for decades (how easy is it to buy a house in London btw?), the pound sterling has been overvalued for some years and fuel has never been so cheap at the pumps for a good few years either.

We've struggled to get a fair share of the export market and import more than we send abroad.

These issues are being realigned and yet all this is blamed on Brexit. Do you blame Brexit for everything else that goes wrong for you?

Stop fwcking whining and get on with your lives instead of this pathetic blabbing away that democracy means that suddenly it's not all fair for you.

Backbone of Britain ffs? Pathetic.

WTF the value of the pound is plummeting daily, and Brexit has not even started yet. How low does the pound have to go before you think nothing has happened that will financial affect us. When the pound is worth 1 cent, then you will finally wake up to the disaster that is unfolding.

I honestly never knew such stupidity could exist in one human being.

You do recall the £ being worth around 97 cents some few years back don't you?

No. guess not.

ffs

Only a deluded Brexshitter could try and spin a crashing pound and failing economy as good news. "

And only a deluded ignorant fool would spin something that wasn't stated at all yet use this fantasy to promote their I'll conceived thoughts and poorly educated argument.

Sir, I applaud your ignorance. Sometimes it's best to let people think you're stupid than to spout garbage and prove it for them.
