Re: Our 1st Post - Hi all - does this site always jump about ?

Yes, this happens to me on occasion too, but in this case only persists in 'jumping' to the bottom of the page. Appears to be a scroll anchoring problem linked to the ads loading on the side bar.

Re: Worth Signing

Well, if this proposed referendum battleground contains facts, thorough economic analysis and a viable roadmap for our kids' future, then I'll be more than happy to accept a truly democratic result....

Re: MOVING TO SPAIN PRIOR BREXIT

Not sure how you come to that conclusion. The Withdrawal Treaty including reciprocal citizens' rights will have to be ratified by all EU27, including the likes of Poland.

Re: Minimum income

Assuming that figure would apply across the board, then for a soon to be non-EU UK pensioner that's the equivalent of net income of £23,000 pa. That would count quite a few out.

Exactly.

Always puzzles me that Brexiteers refer to 'us' and 'them' when talking about the EU. The UK has always had a seat at the EU table, our people have filled key positions and as a European...
