    Brexit negatives

    These are things which have affected people I know.

    And before anyone says holiday homes are only for rich people, that's simply not true on most of the Spanish Costas and in parts of rural France.
    1. If you want to move to Spain, France etc (eg. when you retire), you have to jump through many more hoops. If you're on a low income, it may not even be possible because of minimum income requirements for obtaining residency.
    2. If you buy a holiday home, you can only spend 90 days there. No more staying for 6 months over the winter.
    3. Buying stuff from EU companies is harder. Many firms simply can't be bothered exporting to the UK anymore. And those, that still do, often charge more. And it's liable to get worse in future.
    Scoots still says that Apr 2020 didn't mark the start of a new stock bull market.

            Sure, we're a 3rd country now. Or do you think that shouldn't apply to us?

            Oh, and BTW, it's probably far easier for a Brit to move to Spain than a Spaniard to move to the UK.

                Ha ha. You might as well say - I sold my house and now the buyers have imposed this restriction forbidding me from living there. The restrictions are a consequence of not being in the EU, which Britain chose to do.
                Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

                  You voted to be a 3rd country on the same level as Russia, Iran and North Korea.

                    You are completely wasting your time with Vetran. If he died as a direct result of a Tory policy, his final words would be 'But it would have been worse in the EU or under korbyn'
