We do not know his work and his ability to live there would certainly be compromised now.Thu, 24 Jun 2021 10:00:58 +0000Here we go again. What would you do if you were French, Spanish or Italian? The state pension in France is basically a final-salary scheme which will pay you 75% of final salary. In those other countries you will also end up with a high percentage of your final salary. Your head would explode if you lived there?Thu, 24 Jun 2021 10:00:00 +0000Ok, so I have been asking Brexiters to name one benefit we might enjoy by being outside of the EU. Predictably (I have been asking it for years), none were put forward (here or on Twitter - @extradry_martin). But here is one for you HPC Brexiters: House prices will almost certainly fall, or be lower than they would otherwise be, as a result of Brexit. The question is whether one thinks that the country being around 25% poorer than it otherwise would be is worth that happening.Thu, 24 Jun 2021 09:59:57 +0000Perhaps because it didn't need saying. I'm still yet to hear a justification as to how this doesn't go against past promises to those in Ireland who rejected the Lisbon treaty?Thu, 24 Jun 2021 09:59:44 +0000"I lived and worked in Madrid for a long time. Would not be able to do that now. "Thu, 24 Jun 2021 09:59:21 +0000He did not actually say that.Thu, 24 Jun 2021 09:58:48 +0000I think you'll find that the various nationality acts did that. It's completely disingenuous to say you wouldn't be able to live and work in Madrid now.Thu, 24 Jun 2021 09:58:01 +0000There are plenty of 'threatening to pull out / ask seller to pay stamp duty' threads on MSE and Mumsnet but, at the moment, very few seem to have followed through with this threat. However, the stamp duty holiday isn't over yet and most still seem to think Rishi will intervene at the last moment to save them. I understand why they think that (he has form) but it's a bit late for that now. My suspicion is that the hope of a further stamp duty holiday extension has to be properly extinguished before you'll see significant numbers of failing chains.Thu, 24 Jun 2021 09:57:01 +0000Is sovereignty now a buzzword for you're sovereign if you're a tax haven? Isle of Mann, Jersey, Guernsey? That isn't the international definition at all and never has beenThu, 24 Jun 2021 09:56:13 +0000If you are an Egyptology PHD going into teaching....Thu, 24 Jun 2021 09:55:52 +0000They definitely fall in to the (rather large) group of "people I think are blithering idiots." What I do find amusing about them is that when it comes to open-mindedness they're about as blinkered and prejudiced as the (genuinely obnoxious) people they complain about the most, and as much (or possibly more) likely to lump anyone who doesn't agree with them as being in that other extreme. It's quite amusing really how very similar they are to each other, applying exactly the same mental power in exactly the same way, just with a different starting point. That doesn't mean sensible reality lies exactly half way between both sets of morons though.Thu, 24 Jun 2021 09:55:43 +0000Nice, lucky you. I lived and worked in Madrid for a long time. Would not be able to do that now. Brexit is the first time that the people of the UK have had their rights taken away from them on a permanent basis since at least the 19th century.Thu, 24 Jun 2021 09:55:41 +0000Except it misses the issue. People spend money on looking good, which shows they put image and social status above money. People who are angry at the modern world are not going to regret voting against it.Thu, 24 Jun 2021 09:54:42 +0000If you say so, although I'm not agreeing with you, but mark my words, many people will do as they did post Cummings excursion. It's just wrong.Thu, 24 Jun 2021 09:54:17 +0000Interesting. I can, and do, forgive. At least those who didn't know better when they voted for it. Forget, no - it was and is a monumental act of self harm for a country to impose on itself.Thu, 24 Jun 2021 09:51:36 +0000Brexiters will never be over it because of the nature of brexit. There always needs to be an enemy. Boris understands this very well, hence he will keep tensions high.Thu, 24 Jun 2021 09:51:29 +0000What is important? Most will agree on the basic necessities of survival, but beyond that? Anything that helps you enjoy life is, anything that has the opposite effect is the opposite. For some people that'll include football. Beware people who think they've got an absolute grasp of what's important and what isn't, for everyone. They've got a very weak understanding of life. They'll tell you things like money is important (it's not in its own right although it can be part of the means to an end of getting what really does make your life more worthwhile).Thu, 24 Jun 2021 09:50:44 +0000Take off your rose-tinted glasses about the past. Have you forgotten the riots that engulfed the country the previous year?Thu, 24 Jun 2021 09:50:38 +0000Still in the denial phase then. 23% worse off than we would have been otherwise. That is a complete disaster.Thu, 24 Jun 2021 09:49:36 +0000Yep I knew a Chemistry Phd who hadn't worked 2 years after graduating (I lost touch with him). It is a pyramid scheme.Thu, 24 Jun 2021 09:48:26 +0000Also worth pointing out that a lot of DB pensions - especially the public sector ones - were opted out of the State Pension. Many people on them won't see much of the £8k state pension; it's kind of 'included' in their DB one. https://www.gov.uk/new-state-pension/youve-been-in-a-workplace-personal-or-stakeholder-pensionThu, 24 Jun 2021 09:48:09 +0000Your premise is wrong they face the same restrictions as for anyone else transiting the country. Stay in their bubble and be in the country for less than 24hrs.
