Brexit doesn't prevent the UK from inviting as many Eastern European workers into the UK as it needs. We (Brexit supporters) just like the idea of being in control of when they come here (to do work for us) and when they go home (when there isn't work)....

So are they now 1000000's and 1000000000's? (millions and billions)....

Recommend buying shares in unloved small UK-listed energy companies. i3 energy, Pantheon Resources, Southern Energy (not to be confused with SSE) are stocks I have a heavy exposure to.

I'm 51 and have decided to semi-retire. Having saved and invested my war chest up to a level where income from dividends equals my living expenses, I don't need to work, and have chosen not to work for the past 6 months.

But I'm conscious of the fact that my investments might go south,...
