Brexit plan was sold by liars and UK plan is unworkable, Macron says

[Whorty]

I voted for us to Leave the EU. Knew that would create uncertainty in the short term. Expected it and will deal with it.

Over to you. What do YOU intend to do about this inevitability, other than spend half your life on here pissing and moaning I mean?

I intend to keep living my life and doing very well for myself. In the next 12-18 months i intend to build my property portfolio to about 1.5 million and live off the income in early retirement (by 50). I've already negotiated a 2 day week, WFH, in my current role. Wife has negotiated a 3 day week (also 100% WFH), so we'll have more time to enjoy life.

With the extra time I'll do even more cycling around our great country, and the beautiful continental Europe.

As i've always said, Brexit will have little impact on me, I just think it's a stupid idea, followed by the equally stupid. Let's go for the hard, crash out, Brexit that you voted for and enjoy the ride

Short term? There'll be no serious problem at all in the short term.
It's the long term that's the problem - you cretins have condemned the country to irrelevance.
It goes against centuries of British foreign policy to allow Europe to do what it wants.
Both Maggie and Winston will be spinning in their grave - neither of them particularly trusted Europe, which is why they always kept a finger in the pie.

But for someone like you with a "supervisor" who has "annual appraisals", such subtleties are beyond your ken.

I am seriously planning now to be in mainland EU before the time UK commits suicide by Brexiting

Atthe very least it will get me EU rights to stay there later, as in permanent move when Komrade Kolonel Korbyn gets in

Checked out Holland today and it appears I can nearly half my tax bill by moving there, most certainly half it under Korbyns incoming socialist admin

Well that is an unexpected Brexit dividend. Don't let the door hit your squirrel-molesting arse on the way out!!

Oh yes, I am sure they will be gutted that we will have left the EU.

But for someone like you with a "supervisor" who has "annual appraisals"

My inference was that it was YOU that had the supervisor and the appraisals. No point you trying to twist out of it now.
It only serves to make you look and sound even more gormless.

Typical Bremoaner........it is all about you.

And there you were giving it all that sanctimonious cobblers about having voted "altruistically".

I voted altruistically, wanting the best for the country. I 'lost' the vote so I'm going to have to make do now and get on as best I can I'll continue to be altruistic, I'll take properties off the hands of those who are at risk of losing them to a bank, and rent them out to those who won't be able to afford to buy due to being poorer after Brexit. See, I'll be helping out my fellow Brits who 'won' the vote.

Can't say fairer than that

Such a shame I lost the vote ... oh well, I'm sure when I retire early I'll learn to get over it.

Of course you will..................

Rule #1 when moving there; it's The Netherlands, calling it Holland can be as offensive as calling Scotland England for a Scot
Taxes are extremely high (although there are some reduced flat rate taxes for expats) in addition there's mandatory health insurance and lots of local taxes and higher VAT. Almost every contract is caught by the local version of IR35.

But yeah it will be better then living under Corbyn's communist dictatorship

Please retract that remark

There is a common theme prevailing here that seems to conjoin our little nest of europhile dimwits.

People who voted Remain are not the same as europhiles.

The vote wasn't:

1) I like Europe so can I stay in the EU?
or
2) I don't like Europe so can I leave the EU?

It was

1) Do you want to stay where you are?
or
2) Do you want to leave where you are and go to some totally undefined (and unimaginable) place that we haven't got the faintest idea about because we don't know anything about what we're saying and we have told everybody else not to do any thinking/research/planning whatsoever? And we might press the button years before anybody has a chance of building a survival plan.

I had/have reservations about the EU and initially thought I would vote Leave. But that only lasted about 100 milliseconds before I noticed there was absolutely no viable scenario being described. The objection is not about whether it's a nice idea to be in or out of Europe. The objection is people voted for a ridiculous proposition. If you don't like the EU and you want to do something different then that's a choice you have a right to. What you Brexiteers didn't have a right to do was vote to destroy the country just because you were too thick and lazy to think things through and realise what was being offerred was complete nonsense. You didn't alternatively have the right to destroy the country by thinking "I know they're not telling us anything but I'm sure we'll be able to come up with a solution" despite the fact you had virtually zero idea of how massive and pervasive our connection to the EU is.
