What we do know is people trade with the EU without free trade agreements, borders work without free trade agreements or free movement agreements.

We import and export goods from all over the world so systems can be put in place that work.

There will be some short term turmoil, but i don't think long term it will change much.

Sorry Tidgy, that's 100% waffle.


'Various reasons"...not sure what these various reasons are other that the immigration trigger which the EU do not control.


Logic tells us that we will not be able to negotiate such favourable deals without the combined weight\support of the EU. Therefore we will be worse off, not for 10 years but for perpetuity.


...and if you don't think much will change long term why the blimming hell would you support short term turmoil?

Yes, people do trade with the EU without free trade agreements or free movement of people, but we currently have a free trade agreement with them, so unless we get a free trade deal, we are worse off. It really is that simple.

The only way that can be balanced out is if we get fantastic trade deals with the rest the world. That is by no mans certain, and will take a long time. That is the reality that Leavers seem to ignore, deny, whatever you want.

lol a reasonable post which has zero substance that I call you out on, so now I'm the nutter.


Like I said; wilful ignorance. ******* Cameron and his assumption that nobody would be dumb enough to vote leave.

Let's cut the guy some slack here. Maybe he knew along, but the guilt of having such a privileged education drove him for some reason to throw the future of the country into the hands of people who'd barely had any at all. He might yet go down in history as one of Britain's greatest ever egalitarians

I suspect it had more to do with lack of oxygen getting to his brain. Quite common with Brexiters, apparently (it would at least explain the almost constant forgetting of things they'd promised just a couple of weeks/months/years earlier).

Aside from the UK starting to stockpile medicines and food it is reported it will also be illegal for pensions to be paid into non-UK bank accounts. So pretty much every pensioner abroad will be screwed

Hold on, are you saying we can't have our cake and eat it


I wonder how that would effect one of the more vocal oldies on this thread. Irony bites hard

They state that 247,000 pensioners live abroad and I imagine very many more who planned to leave or live abroad already and nearing retirement

Has anything on change.org ever managed to get through to make it into parliamentary policy?

Excluding private members bills which get through under the radar, usually because only four politicians are sitting in the commons at the time

So to put Brexit into context. Over 1 million signed a petition not to sack Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear.

How did that one turn out?

I bet most of the pensioners abroad no longer have a UK account. Cant set one up without a UK address so how do they get around that?
