[Merged]Brexit stuff (part 2)

[GB9]

I'm rapidly coming to the conclusion that the real threat to this country is not Brexit, but the rank stupidity of the majority of the inhabitants. Delusions of intellectual adequacy seem to be rife, particularly among the innumerate.
A common sense eugenics policy put in place early in the 20th century would have stopped those with an IQ of less than 105 from breeding, instead we had the exact opposite, where the state encouraged the stupid to reproduce and even paid them to do so.
You can see the results on this thread and others.
And that is why the future of the country looks bleak.

It's not that bad. We managed to get Germany to accept some of our economically illiterate. Unfortunately they still seem able to access this site from there.

Not to worry, you can do your bit to address the issue when you move to your caravan in Portugal. That ought to set the national IQ level lurching upwards!!!

House prices remain strong despite remoaners predictions on Brexit

Knight Frank UK and London residential house price data - Business Insider

However, Knight Frank pointed out that "the fundamentals of the UK housing market remain largely unchanged" and therefore in the long-term, property prices are likely to remain buoyant because there is a supply and demand imbalance. On top of that, credit is cheap at the moment. Interest rates are at a record low of 0.25% and therefore this makes debt cheaper to service.

Get your eye watering debt whilst it is cheap.

It's a two tier market.
Anything above a million is languishing, while good BTLs in prime areas are selling overnight.
Have experienced both these phenomena personally.

As long as interest rates are low, it's always going to be up. The bubble will burst quick enough when interest rates get jacked up.

So after 5 months of Brexit all we have from the government is a "notepad" with a single page of contradictory comments and a very unclear position scribbled with poor handwriting. :

Once the government invokes article 50 they will have just 15 months to agree exit terms, border arrangements, and agree on a comprehensive trade treaty with the EU and 60 other countries.

... The bubble will burst quick enough when interest rates get jacked up.

and perhaps interest rates will start jacking up when inflation does, which it may when oil prices start jacking up ..
