If they are over 65 they can transfer over to the local scheme, just as a mate is doing here in France next year.

You say that like it's supposed to be funny?


It's actually not far from the truth in some cases.


But get real: MOST eastern europeans coming over are doing menial jobs, the ones our school leavers used to do...you know, before all our kids were chucked on the scrap heap of unemployment?

Around my way all the street cleaners are Eastern European, they do a fantastic job, if you think there are any kids that would leave school to do that job then you’re off your rocker, unemployed British adults won’t do it.

And why would anyone HAVE to sell their house?????????

You flat earthers. Are you frightened of other stuff too? Ghosts? Monsters? THEY don't exist either.
Just about managed a day before you couldn't help yourself. Love it

Dunno where you live, but OUR street cleaners are UK born and bred.

And yes, I DO know a few of them.

Plus you must have full employment if school leavers would/could refuse the job, if offered?

Or you are talking nonsense as usual?

BMWwhere, People who are retired in the eu have pensions paid into accounts and use normal health care. Older people are a health care nightmare in all countries so if your retired in a country and you have no access to their medical system without payment as that’s what we used to do using the old passport works then how can pensionable people even go to the doctor without a flight home

It’s a bit like what Andy Parsons said, the hospitals are full of immigrants and if you see one it’s usually the physician

I see that delays over Brexit have caused the economy to shake.
Told you we should have had a clean break.

would be better to walk away with a deal in place, but you see how the sticking point is the EU demand of how much money they get from us?

Always about the money, nothing else.

I read that in the UK, 70% would now prefer a 'no deal' to a 'bad deal'

I agree

There was always going to be a settling up, it just wasn't mentioned by the leave campaign. One of the main sticking points is the NI border, again, an issue not discussed by Leave, and dismissed as scaremongering when mentioned by Remain. It's not the EU's true colours coming out now, it's the complexities and reality of the situation.

If the UK cough up 100bn, then all other issues would melt away in a flash. There is no reason to pay anything after March 2019.

I did hear things mentioned like paying what was due etc, it just seems to be the EU seems to disagree with whats owed/agreed. The information was out there if you actually looked into it rather than just scan reading he headlines (not saying you did that, just people in general).

As far as NI easiest way will be have the hard border at the Irish sea, keep the soft border in place as it currently is. if you have a NI passport then free access without customs, if not then customs it is. Pretty simple really.
