How can you possibly know what expats in general think?
Being an expat does not necessarily indicate "rejection" there must be thousands+ like ourselves loyal to two countries and dividing their time.

re: Post EU Referendum
 

How do you know "most" ?

re: Post EU Referendum
 

Do read, my post again.
I was not referring to expats in general but to Our non resident Ultra brexiters..
I am sure that there are tens and tens thousands of Brits living abroad who are happy with the multi racial,, multi cultural, multi religious society that the UK has become and will increasingly grow into.
It was not those I was referring to.

re: Post EU Referendum
 

Setting aside the arrogant claims of the remoaniacs that think they can predict what everyone else believes & what will happen in the future, the truth is that no-one knows what individuals think about free movement or anything else but personally, I'd very much prefer see an end to free movement even if it comes at a cost...... but an end to free movement doesn't mean no movement, it just means controlled movement.

re: Post EU Referendum
 

It's an assumption through reading the newspaper opinions, and the comments from the Brexiters on here that repeatedly point out that the majority voted to leave the EU.

A Swiss-type agreement means we leave the EU but still retain free movement and single-market access, one of many potential exit options available.

re: Post EU Referendum
 

Did they vote for that or NOT?

If little changes but for our no longer being EU members once the dust settles Uk politics and society will return to its basic concerns.
The division between the haves and have nots , the economy, health , education etc.
Those knuckle draggers on the fringe will continue to focus on immigration on multi culturalism etc whether we are in the EU or not..

re: Post EU Referendum
 

What is more important to you, The economy , the prosperity of the UK and its people or just the end of free movement.?
You will not pay the cost,.

re: Post EU Referendum
 

I used to have a lot of respect for the Telegraph, but lately, they've been increasingly acting more like a "headline only" sensationalist tabloid.

This, for example;

Brexit begins: Theresa May takes axe to EU laws - The Telegraph

The fact is, that Theresa May has actually proposed quite the reverse, in fact the “Great Repeal Bill” enshrines virtually all EU law into UK law.

Granted, this is a simple matter of convenience, but it's quite the reverse of "taking an axe".

But it sounds good, even if misleading. That's how the tabloids work. And they have far greater circulation. And political power.

re: Post EU Referendum
 

None of those things were high on the list of my deciding criteria that made me vote the way I did.

Most important factors for me were that I believe an independent UK will mean a more secure UK & better future for my children & grand children & subsequent generations & controlled movement was obviously a part of that.

How about you?

What's your deciding criteria for wanting so badly to remain?

re: Post EU Referendum
 

Being that it's now become quite clear that Brexit will neither enhance nor achieve any of those things (and will, by all credible accounts, serve to diminish UK security and prosperity), do you still feel you made the right decision?

re: Post EU Referendum
 

The prosperity of the UK and its people.

Prejudice and ignorance will never create jobs, pay rents and mortgages.
But as we know you will not be affected if it all goes wrong.

re: Post EU Referendum
 

There you go again with your BS belief that you can see into the future.

Your statement is absolute speculation & nothing more whatsoever yet you so arrogantly claim that what you say is fact when none of it is.

It'll take years, if not decades AFTER Brexit is complete before anyone will know how successful it's been & yet you & the rest of the remoaniacs think you already know it's going to be a failure.

Your comment reminds me of the words of Solzhenitsyn who wrote:

"One can build the Empire State Building, discipline the Prussian army, make a state hierarchy mightier than God, and yet fail to overcome the unaccountable superiority of certain human beings."

re: Post EU Referendum
 

You are absolutely correct, if we accept your views regarding the concerns of the Remainers then the same applies to the ambitions and wishes of brexiters.
You will not see the changes you voted for become part of the UK in anything like the timescale some brexiters think.
Who will you blame then, it will be what you voted for.

re: Post EU Referendum
 

Well TM says 'by the end of March' but that's still some 9 months after the vote, so they're obviously in a great hurry

re: Post EU Referendum
 

This has been going on since well before a Brexit was even a gleam in anyone's eye. Nothing new there. What matters though is what the rest us do so that that garbage never becomes acceptable nor entered into "normal" political discussion. Such stuff - and those who use it - is as absurd as it is despicable.
