Oh and Die Welt is the German equivalent of The Daily Mail. Read into that what you will.
Pretty sure that every time I turn on a tap or flush my toilet, the Germans are getting my money too
and that the experts have repeatedly got so much wrong
I'm still nervous about the future..
but so long as the experts continue to predict that we'll be fkd, it means there is hope...
but a hypothetical privilege - people like the sound of it but do not use it. Most people live their whole lives within 2 miles of where they grew up
AFAIK about 300k UK citizens work in the EU
That's 0.5% of us
We would not be logical in making a decision based on the benefit to such a small number of us
In any case, I'd assume that many of these 300k would have got a job in the EU anyway, regardless of whether the UK was in the EU
For vacations? UK citizens can travel visa-free to over 100 countries now. It's in the top 3 best passports to hold
For retirement? Poor, hot countries have always welcomed pensioners
Obviously the contracting arrangements for my firm are more complex than that (I am working for the UAE entity, but the invoicing entity will be the Kuwaiti office so the client isn't directly paying for my service), but still- it isn't a big deal in the scheme of all that's important in the world.

The referendum was a strange vote because there was no leave plan and it was not certain what was going to happen. Hence the months of speculation. We only just got the hint of the plan this week and it is still vague.
What I don't understand is that it seems leaving will lead to more globalisation for the UK (at least the talk of more global trade agreements). And it felt like a lot of the leave vote was because of the effects of globalisation.
I don't like the talk of some sectors (e.g. in the City of London) will get special deals. How is this fair?
The UK is one of the biggest economies in the world (as part of the EU). Out of the EU it is uncertain. Economically, why would you leave? Greed?

WTO Chap saying he's unaware of trade agreements taking less than 5 to 7 years!
I’m so bored I might as well be listening to Pink Floyd
How about this to cure society's ills: Why not have a mass slaughter of pensioners? It would lead to National Insurance spending savings, huge savings in the NHS and would free up plenty of housing.
(Not 100% serious)
I don't get the immigration "problem". Services are not good in the UK and that is because of lack of investment and good planning. Immigration has nothing to do with it. If more people come you increase the amount of spending (you are getting more money from tax). I heard people say the country is overcrowded-- there's clearly enough square inches for everyone-- that's just silly.
It's interesting that the majority in Scotland voted remain where they prioritise their services more.
Just curious!

and how much trouble is it really?
