Britain would go to the ‘back of the queue' for US trade deals post-Brexit

And as for those poverty stricken European wastelands of Norway and Switzerland how on earth do they get by?

Norway got oil and Swiss got money stolen from all over the world, both countries have very small population: 5 mln and 8 mln.

UK got 60 mln and London, which is the money laundering capital in the Western world, can't provide for all UK citizens with the spoils, now if London became independent then it would be fair comparison.

By the way in the unlikely event of Brexit the first people to support would be stupid people like you, this would have been nice to watch from far away, but since I live here I'd prefer to vote STAY, that should also cause you some suffering but at least without any damage to other people.

It's rules of the club - one can't expect to play golf and not chip in to maintain the green.

However he is either naive or stupid if he doesn't understand that a fall in house prices accompanies a screw up in the entire economy.

He thinks that his house will be immune

He'll be in negative equity most likely with 50% drop in house price, and banks won't exactly be lending people unless they put up 40-50% deposits.

Essentially Mauve Monkey's preferred scenario would result in him living rough, whilst his house sold off half price to somebody with the money, like MF or sasguru.

I have over 50% equity

I have over 50% equity

Now imagine value of your house drops by 50%, so in effect you'd still owe 100% of value of your much cheaper house

50% house price falls.

Yum yum. Yes please.

50% house price falls. Yum yum. Yes please.

Ok, let's say every house price dropped by 50%, what's your next action?

Buy a £500k house for £250k

So remember you still have your original mortgage. Are you going to get another? Why would anyone agree to that.?

[PurpleGorilla]

I will rent current house if I can't sell it.
