I'm curious how many turkeys voted for Christmas in there.


I don't know, but I'd imagine most of them voted Remain as they surely can't be that stupid?

I think the holiday home abroad people are the people I feel least sorry for though. Eat the rich. :lol:


There are a lot of people in Spain who voted leave. I have a friend who's parents took early retirement and moved to Spain, they voted leave and are massively struggling because of the health care costs they have to pay because of Brexit and drop in the pounds value.

My understanding if you live in the EU full time you're going to be alright. It's just people with holiday homes who rely on work in the UK who are screwed.


This survey just before the referendum suggests 19% would have voted Leave: https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/eu-r ... 69901.html

The percentage in Spain may well have been higher though!

Idiots.


To be fair one in five of people who arguably had the most to lose is still shockingly high.


1% would be too high. Utter idiots.

There will be lots of Leavers in the UK as well who had plans to retire to Spain when they were older. :lol:

I have absolutely zero sympathy for anyone in that situation who voted for Leave to make life harder for others but to have the consequences backfire on them directly.

Boris is talking about residents rather than 6 month holiday homers isn't he?

Although, I think his claim is wrong regardless? :lol:

I feel there should be an investigation into how three children in a coat have managed to snag a role as Education Secretary. Clearly a conflict of interest.

The level playing field point is gonna strawberry float over everything. I'll be surprised if this doesn't happen.

Expect them to spin the workers rights bonfire. Patriotic sacrifices and all that.

I still think this will end up in a massive fudge from both sides. Boris only used Brexit to fuel his ambition to lead the Tories and be PM. I don't see him wanting a second term as he wants better pay. So he will likely fudge it over in my opinion with something very similar to the transition period and probably leave it up to whoever replaces him.

Not long to find out I guess.

This isn't an endorsement of our current direction, just to be clear.

The Medium Prelude to The Big Finale then.

Barnier has said today it won't go beyond Wednesday so guess we'll find out soon enough.
