Brexit

[jamesbrown]

Even having a referendum means the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. No wonder you're so keen on 10 years of uncertainty. Boomed!

If we vote for Brexit, I'm going to have a very sore bottom from the amounts I've punted. I suppose, as an exporter, the fall in Sterling will be a silver lining and, like AtW says, the real wealth comes from exporters Vote Brexit for real wealth!

Living and working in another EU country isn't one for the rich.

The young EU citizens I know who have worked in the UK and the young British citizens who have worked abroad haven't been rich.

Young people will live in conditions older people will not put up with e.g. house shares, hostels, tents.

Oh and the baby boomers voting for Brexit are voting for themselves. Have a look at the increasing number of older people who have to flat share in private rentals due to relationship breakdown.

Just added some extra info

Freedom to study elsewhere in Europe without extortionate student fees - Not really something that 99% off people will actually do - it costs money to live in another country so one for the rich really.

Only the rich can live in the EU
And of course there's no accommodation costs in the UK because housing is so cheap. Are we on the same planet?
The UK is by far the most expensive country in the EU.

Err yeah whatever UK is actually pretty much top of the class when it comes to employee rights

oh really?
tell that to my mom that works on zero hours contract

[Jog On]

So they can continue to enjoy:

Freedom to study elsewhere in Europe without extortionate student fees

Freedom to work in any EU member country

Protection from their own government exploiting current EU labour laws such as maternity entitlement; discrimination protection; holiday entitlement; agency workers’ rights; and data protection principles.


Yeah, these young people are insane.

You forgot TTIP

[scooterscot]

You forgot TTIP

The Tories have far more interest (Murdoch media n co) in seeing that through than the EU.

So they can continue to enjoy:

Freedom to study elsewhere in Europe without extortionate student fees

Fees for Scots - free. Fees for Northern Ireland - £3600/year. It's only England and Wales that get it in the spuds.

Freedom to work in any EU member country

Yippy do dah. Realistically what percentage of the population do this? Bus drivers, postmen, factory workers, farmers...

Protection from their own government exploiting current EU labour laws such as maternity entitlement; discrimination protection; holiday entitlement; agency workers’ rights; and data protection principles.

Absolutely nothing to stop our MPs and Parliament implimenting these.

On the flip side, the young can kiss goodbye to ever owning a house, trouble starting a family (or at least providing for it), and adecent job.

The young must be mad for voting Remian.

The majority of baby boomers look to be voting for BREXIT (unlike the reported younger voters leaning towards BREMAIN). And this is in the full knowledge of the threat of a house price crash if BREXIT wins. I do get the distinct impression that boomers are thinking about their children, and the youth are think about visa free travel and a bowl of rainbow filled breakfast cereal.

So credit, where credit is due boomers. If you are for BREXIT, I thank you.

As my old man said:

"Couldn't care less whether my house is worth £100Ks or a lot less."

What difference does it really make to them save for the small minority that want to downsize? Cheaper housing for all - yay.

[BlasterBates]

Yippy do dah. Realistically what percentage of the population do this? Bus drivers, postmen, factory workers, farmers...

Approx 10% of the working population.

[The_Equalizer]

Approx 10% of the working population.

So it might be a bit harder for them? If they have the necessary skills then I can't see why they'd be precluded.
