Most land is not buildable on in the UK, the councils have to decide on releasing more - State/Queen own most land in the UK, a bit like Thailand... There's also a lack of talent in construction, since the last financial crisis wiped out most small home builders in the UK. Throwing immigrants out will for sure solve this crisis. Is contradicting, as EU immigrants are a net plus for the UK NHS - but how would Brits know, right? NHS budget is coupled to the GDP of the UK, so well, we'll see how that works out in future. ... the rest of your text is equally easy to debunk.

Much of the rest of the land is so called green belt and not allowed to be build on, because well - housing doesn't seem as important as protecting this. London has a giant green belt, plenty of space for new housing, there's tons of land in the UK but it's not usable for the average joe. Even if you manage to snap up an affordable piece of land, getting a planning permission can take forever. The only one you can blame for UKs housing crisis is the UK Government. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"They" seem to have difficulty understanding that 17.4 million people voted for the option that said "Leave", rather than the option that said "Remain". Not difficult, a straight choice. Nowhere did it say leave with a deal, leave without a deal - there were no pictures, just a straight choice. It was also said that the decision would be final. I knew EXACTLY on what basis I was voting.......... and I am now just waiting for the politicians to complete that task. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, that shows that you are not informed or you don't want to see the evidence. Look at news from the time of the referendum. A deal will be easy, there will be no downside, etc. Nobody even mentioned problems with he Irish border and many other issues like shared services of the EU like the database with criminals, Galileo, and many other issues. Even most informed people didn't think about all the "small" little things at that time. Advocating to continue with a bad decision only because that decision was made some time ago makes no sense. If people realize it was a bad decision and they change their mind before that bad decision is executed then this is positive. Imagine you promise a woman you will marry her in 12 months. And then, in the next 12 months you realize that she is not as you expected. Would you still marry her only because you promised it to her? Or would you decide you made a bad decision, change your decision and not marry her? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes most of us make decisions which we later see were not good decisions.

But if we are smart then we eat the humble pie and accept that we didn't make a good decision. And it's almost easy to change our mind if we can point out that we would have made another decision years ago if we would have all the information we have now.

Maybe your 3% or more of voters changed their minds to the leave direction and do not now want to remain? I know several who have. The withdrawal agreement was beaten three times because it puts the UK at several disadvantages and in a potentially worse position than it is in now. Why do we need a confirmation of a democratic vote? Well, we don't. It is only remainers that seem to want one as a means to get the status quo outcome that they all think they want - a big problem that leavers can see is that the status quo theory is a myth - the EU continues to mutate, accumulating more power and control that is being steadily centralised. The military/defence aspect has become a much bigger issue since the referendum and since the proposed WA was published. We didn't have a second vote in 1975, or for the following 41 years, so it is fair we wait a reasonable amount of time before another one, mainly for the sake of the preservation of democratic principles. Any wrong information issued and taken in by voters in 2016 was delivered by both campaigns. Any actual downsides of leaving the EU can only truly be known after we have left. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why all the fuss? Could it possibly be that the EU has attempted to create a problem that doesn't really exist in order to lock the UK into the customs union indefinitely via the backstop? Surely our good friends and partners would never do such a thing. After all, they've acted in such good faith throughout the negotiations, right? now tell me, did he say no to back stop, than we are back at the same point. Think, if there is not border between UK/EU than no need for EU to exist, all open free trade no customs, all other members will ask to leave thus no need to pay any membership fees, goods shipped from all around the world lending in NI ( a member of the UK which will have fantastic new trade agreements with the majority of the outside EU world) these goods will be traveling to EU from UK/NI without any customs duties, no country of origin safety checks, child labor, intellectual property violations and I leave the rest to your wild imagination..... free world, Trump will be in trouble, no need for additional negotiations with China, I do dream sometimes but never to that extreme, this (really) would be a dream come thru and the funny thing some of the UK people may believe it..... UK leaves the EU will be considered as another country, no special deals or trade agreements, if they want special deals and special trade agreements they should have stayed, does it sound logic to you while UK was a member of the EU free trade agreements they had special treatment, when they leave why should they still have same, it doesn't sound right, correct? if doesn't sound right it means it's not right. Example assuming you are married and share property with your wife, enjoying profits/benefits from said property, with your wife, now let's assume the worse scenario and you divorce/separate from each other, each going on different directions, do you expect to keep enjoying same property benefits, even if a friendly divorce, 99.9% of the case it doesn't happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has been no compromise from the EU , its either take it or leave it . The whole process appears to have been a shambles , how can there possibly be fair talks when the UK was so outnumbered . To see real unbiased justice would take independent arbitration as is normal protocol in major disputes . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at news from the time of the referendum. A deal will be easy, there will be no downside, etc. Nobody even mentioned problems with he Irish border and many other issues like shared services of the EU like the database with criminals, Galileo, and many other issues. Even most informed people didn't think about all the "small" little things at that time. Advocating to continue with a bad decision only because that decision was made some time ago makes no sense. If people realize it was a bad decision and they change their mind before that bad decision is executed then this is positive. Imagine you promise a woman you will marry her in 12 months. And then, in the next 12 months you realize that she is not as you expected. Would you still marry her only because you promised it to her? Or would you decide you made a bad decision, change your decision and not marry her? Imagine you promise a woman you will marry her in 12 months. And then, in the next 12 months you realize that she is not as you expected. Would you still marry her only because you promised it to her? Or would you decide you made a bad decision, change your decision and not marry her? But in the same breath if you were living with your wife and she doesn't love or even like you anymore, would you leave or would you stay with her because you think it is the best decision for her, afterall it doesn't matter about her feelings or what she thinks now does it, only your personal interests matter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
