fair point but thailand is hardly the place to enjoy ones self spending less money,iam not suggesting it cannot be done,i remember the same talk when it hit 55-60,then it stated again at sub 50,and still going strong at sub 40,but 30-35 will be the killer and brexit would deliver the KO blow

 

 When I first visited Thailand the exchange rate was 34, and it din’t put me off moving to Thailand. Exactly the same as when the rate hit 96, that din’t encourage me to stay there. As for the future,it’s anybodies guess. Hopefully when Brexit is finally achieved, the uncertainty in the financial markets will stabilize. Unless of course the E.U. Mandarins, with the wholehearted encouragement of the remainers try to punish the British people.

in 86 barely anyone visited thailand and a low pound/bt rate mattered little to anyone other than the individual,brexit and the pounds loss since the vote (4 summers now) has cost millions of folks hundreds if not thousands of pounds dependent on how often they travel,again its an answer of all will stabilize once brexit is sorted,well read the experts prediction of a no deal and stable is not going to be the outcome,but you folks will come back with the usual "give it another 3-6 months and all will be fine" after 3 years plus its wearing a bit thin,btw its nothing to do with the EU

Of course only immigrants can be a drain on the country's resources, UK born and bred benefit scroungers that have never worked in their life are only exercising their democratic right.
I should have realised that the scroungers that used to live next door in the UK were nothing more than propagandists waving the flag of project fear, foisted on me by the council elites in a brain washing exercise.

Not overly interested in native scroungers until the immigrant problem has been solved. After those excuses have gone, there’s more work for even the workshy. First things first.

Your scrounger neighbours are there asa result of the council and elites working together. Local authorities and public sector are the training grounds of the political elites. Have you noticed how many immigrants and their offspring have almost got a grip of those organisations?
If they hadn’t done such a good job of brainwashing you, moving house might be a good idea. Unless you like scroungers of course.

I am 52, never want to retire, love what I am doing and believe that having a purpose and giving back to society is part of us (Maslow's Hierarchy). You sound like your bragging. Be careful the stats show those that retire early doesn't always work out for everyone.

 

You could end up a bitter and twisted person, spending your days ranting on internet forums.....

good for you,but i planned for my retirement at 19/20 year old for when i was 50-55,been as good as semi retired for a few years anyway,dont req anymore money,iam stating a fact and not bragging,folks on here quick to jump on the bragging bandwagon while saying losing 20% of their income doesnt matter,now i would call that either barmy or a form of bragging,anyway back on topic about to watch TV show on Boris,the last one was a good laff,what a goon the man is.

Thanks for the clarification of not bragging. Money isn't everything to everyone, so losing 20% maybe nothing to some.

As for Boris, get ready to start calling him Prime Minister. I know you will love that.

More anti Boris from the media, trying to find anything to discredit him. Something he said as a student, journalist. They are embarrassing themselves.

The most stagnant market in the world with pan-continental civil unrest, migrant crises, growing political instability, reduction in 'soft power' and influence, massive rates of unemployment across many constituent states (up to 55% in Southern Europe), high rates of inflation, terrible fiscal policy and mind-boggling debt

Another post full of false information. “up to 55% [unemployment] in Southern Europe” says it all.

 

Mind-boggling debt? Japan, Singapore, the US, even the UK all have higher debt ratios than the EU. 

 

Inflation? The US, Canada, China, and the UK top the list. The EUR is the second largest reserve currency as well as the second most traded currency in the world after the USD. All rating agencies give the EU a top rating (triple A). 

 

Civil unrest? Maybe visit some countries with civil unrest rather than celebrating some yellow-vest protesters, then you’d know what you’re talking about. 

 

Reading Daily Mirror too much?

Japan has the highest debt ratio but Greece, Italy, Portugal, Belgium, Cyprus, France and Spain are all higher than the UK, which is just above the EU average.

1) Sovereign debt / National debt

Debt-to-GDP ratio: http://worldpopulationreview.com/countries/countries-by-national-debt/

 

Japan: more than 200%

US: more than 100%

UK: c. 85%

EU: c. 80%

2) Inflation across the EU has not been uniform, of course, in Greece (debt colony) there were runs on banks and capital controls imposed, sending inflation very high just a few years back - all conveniently forgotten by the Europhiles.

We are talking about the EU economy, not Greece. Please edit your original post to say that Greece’s economy sucks and I won’t disagree. 

 

Quote

Netherlands, Germany and Poland are running at or around 2.5% of GDP - the UK is too. The US/China are running at around the same or lower levels, China at 2.7% and US at 1.6%.  

Average inflation rates: https://www.inflation.eu/inflation-rates/cpi-inflation-2018.aspx

 

US: 2.4%

Great Britain: 2.3%

Germany, Netherlands: 1.7%

Youth Unemployment was running at 53% between 2010 - 2014 in Spain and Greece, with Portugal not far behind them and Italy not far behind it. It is now at 40% in Greece, 33% in Italy and Spain and 21% in France! With overall unemployment in southern European nations at between 9% (France) and 19% (Greece) with Italy and Spain representing the median. Excellent figures eh!? ????

You didn’t say Greece’s youth unemployment. You talked about EU unemployment rates. 

 

EU unemployment: https://www.statista.com/statistics/268830/unemployment-rate-in-eu-countries/

Greece: 18.5%

EU: 6.5%

 

 

Quote

Wage compression, social breakdown, sectarian violence and many thousands of assaults, mass rapes in 2015/16 with the issue continuing across European nations. For the first time in its history we see the restriction of centuries old European customs and women unable to walk freely in once safe places

Utter nonsense. Far-right fanatics posting single instances of crime (or, even worse, taking footage from other countries claiming it happened in Europe) while crime statistics clearly shows that percentages haven’t gone up significantly. Just like claiming the EU’s economy is bad when all you can come up with is Greece.

Which is exactly why he said 50 years. It gives him the wiggle room, after Brexit, to say, "Well old chap, I did say up to 50 years". Of course when it comes to the 50 year crunch, he, I and you will all be long gone. Crafty buggers these politicians - not.

Quite.

The problems of today were born 50 - 60 years ago. Incompetent decisions by successive governments kicked the UK aviation industry into the long grass in favour of foreign made aircraft and opening a significant part of national security to interference by a foreign country.

Bad management by UK government led to the demise of the UK car industry as such making the sector beholden to foreign manufacturers. The Eddie Shah dispute created a significant impediment to modern technology leaving the UK permanently trying to catch up.

Brexit has given birth to the problems of tomorrow.

The brexiteers are so desperate to get into bed with the US that there is every chance that in 10 years they will be eating turkey in November.

The union is dead, long live the union.
