"I am delighted to report that there will be one group of people for whom a plunging pound is very good news indeed. London property has just become massively cheaper if you are a foreign buyer. For holders of dollars and euros and other “citizens of the world”, the sale is now on. Britain is becoming a poundland bargain" The guardian 16th October Well that could be good for some British citizens taking London back

in the interests of fairness I am finding you good news about our impending brexit. Here's one from the Uk's best selling newspaper;
"But we also need to think about how we will fill unskilled jobs.
That means imaginative ideas like getting prisoners to pick fruit — and working out how people on the dole can put something back for their money."

And what's wrong with making prisoners work for their upkeep? Overspeeders who have killed someone's child, fraudsters who have conned the elderly out of their savings... Philip Green and his vile (and ugly) wife who have stitched up all those BHS workers... let them dredge the canals and fill the pot holes of Britain's deteriorating roads! Take away their colour television and Game Boys, and make them pay their share back into society.

I'm afraid emma isn't aware of the damage that unrestricted access to euroworkers is have on the supply of jobs open to the local population. It was mentioned earlier but went right over emma's head or was disregarded. It is not the kind of employment practice that improves working contracts or conditions and it does not encourage training.

I suspect that we all keep up with the News in one way or another as well as the views of the press. I come here to chat with people about things; not to be fed a load of regurgitate stuff from various publications. We talk about our thoughts and views and sometimes even justify them or not as the case maybe.

I have provided my opinions and the analyses of others of the problems and issues caused by the catastrophic aftermath of the referendum but I am hearing nothing back. No benefits, no opportunities. Just "They defy the will of the people" as if, somehow, the "people" - whoever they may be, have the whole thing under control and would appreciate it if the rest of us (now firmly the majority) would just keep quiet and let them get on it. The latest is we are told there will be no Parliamentary debate as it would "reveal our poker hand" - i.e. we're bluffing on the two of clubs and a few low diamonds and hoping everyone is as stupid as us and doesn't see the panic on Boris's face.

What are your own opinions and the reasons without using the bandwidth to publicise th e papers etc. Again you seem to be not reading my posts. It's a well known Internet phenomenon; giving responses without reading the materials but as I don't know all internet users personally, I'd have to use a source for that. Tell me how you voted and I'll tell you my opinion. (you probably won't like it though) Incidentally, where do your opinions come from in your world without news sources?

Some of the momentum would be lost if May held a general election. Tough! That's democracy for you. May ridiculed Brown saying he had no mandate and was a coward for not going to the country. May has no mandate, is a coward for not going to the country to get one and, on top of that, she is a hypocrite. Ironically Brown would have probably won if he had called an election just as May would now. Let's hope for the same result if she hangs on until she has to go for an election. I honestly thought that all parliments had to sit for 5 years by law now didnt clegg put it through

Actually how I voted, as I have posted before so you could not have read the post, does not matter. What matters is how and what needs to be done to make the 52% who voted out happy and comfortable that they have been heard and they are happy with the result of what is done. So tell me how you would propose to make that 52% happy and still remain in the EU?

This should give anyone cause for concern; "There is no definitive study of the economic impact of the UK’s EU membership or the costs and benefits of withdrawal”, the House of Commons Library says." Not that it's a net gain or a net loss but that it's actually an unknown is a very strange way to undertake a massive economic change. All I know is that Brexit hasn't even happened and we, the UK, are 20% worse off in global terms with no-one, not even the <sneer> brexiteers </sneer> saying that this will recover. Like many others I dont care if the pound keeps on going down it makes our products cheap and it puts off foreign labour coming here as the exchange is so poor. It also means that car buyers might take a look at our cheaper home made products and not buy expensive EU imports this would apply to all things made here. But in the end it doesnt matter what you think as the majority of the country who voted wanted out of the disgusting wreck that the EU has become

And you can tell me how you lot intend to deal with Ireland. (Let me guess, a return to the good ol' days of the 1850s) The Irish Times today; "Irish government minister Ruairí Quinn said last week that this was the biggest crisis faced by Ireland since the outbreak of the second World War in 1939.This time the battlegrounds will be trade, commerce and migration, but the scale of what is happening is indeed slowly becoming apparent."www.irishtimes.com/business/economy/the-harder-the-brexit-the-worse-it-is-for-ireland-1.2829838The whole article should send a chill through anyone's heart. The possibility return to the troubles is not hyperbole. Still, that will make loads of jobs in the English Army.
