But you are thinking about yourself and not those in the country you left....

 

I don't live in the UK but I respect the vote of those who do...

And how is no deal going to be good for anyone in the UK, except for a few rich tax avoiding b*stards ?

 

It will mean higher food prices and fewer jobs.

 

There are 2 million UK pensioners the EU who will potentially lose their health cover. Many, like me will have chronic conditions that would not even be covered by private insurance. Our choice is going to be return to the UK or die.

 

So we get 2 million more people, most with long lasting problems for the good ol' NHS to cope with. I won't have enough to buy a house in the UK, and I'm over 65 so my local authority will be obliged to rehome me, either in a rest home or pay my rent for a flat, I'll get supplementary pension too. This is not going to help the UK housing shortage or finances.

 

No deal will be a disaster for the UK - not to mention me personally!

I can't be bothered to look but he was most certainly not pals the truth will be much more nuance than that.  Your pal Farage has a lot of dodgy links with dark money -coming from Russia and visited Assange when he was in the Embassy. No need to answer though let's move on to this election and policies moving forward than back and forth with smears.

I hate to say this but Boris with a majority pushing through the WA would probably lead to a short term bounce in the pound - JC or a hung parliament will not be £ friendly. But No Deal I would have thought is pretty much off the table now. The BP will probably get no seats even if they get 10% of the vote.

You appear to be confused here. The main exporters and funders of terrorism are Sunni nations not Shia ones. Saudi Arabia has been exporting it's foul Salafi doctrines for decades, the theology at the heart of 9/11 and ISIS. The West never fussed about the radicalization of young Muslims in their own country because SA had all that lovely oil, and bought our weapons. Suicide bombs - almost entirely Sunni, not supported by Shia doctrine. Iran fights WITHIN the Middle East to support other Shias who are in the minority in many countries like Syria, and are themselves the subject of Sunni terrorist attacks (Pakistan, Afghanistan etc). Outside the ME I have read of no Shia activity, the terrorist activity appears to be all Sunni inspired and funded.  

Does Corbyn have good judgement - no. Is he smart and crafty - no. He is an idealist (Ideologue probably) and the wrong man to lead the LP, but not a twisted graceless philandering liar like Boris Johnson.

Actually it is all about tactical voting, vote Lib Dem where they could defeat the Tory, or a Labour leaver (I won't say traitor I'll leave that word to the TV loonies). Otherwise vote Green, SNP, Labour, anything but Tory. Hopefully Farage is getting well fired up by Johnson's dismissal, and will put up a fight. The "Labour party is fighting every seat to win it" is just standard LP bs. Fortunately the public have in the past have shown themselves to be not that mind numbingly stupid, and are voting tactically in greater numbers all the time, PR may not be a dream forever.

And of course Johnson et al would be well briefed by the security services of the DUP links to criminal terrorists - yet May / Johnson very happy to bung them a billion to keep the insane Brexit on the road. Any thoughts transam since you obviously care about terrorist links in this coming election ? And while we're at it let's get this report out in the open as Johnson will of course have nothing to hide.

Eventually? The British lumpenproletariaat has a tradition of voting "the right way", either Tories or so called Labour.

It will mean higher food prices and fewer jobs.

 

There are 2 million UK pensioners the EU who will potentially lose their health cover. Many, like me will have chronic conditions that would not even be covered by private insurance. Our choice is going to be return to the UK or die.

 

So we get 2 million more people, most with long lasting problems for the good ol' NHS to cope with. I won't have enough to buy a house in the UK, and I'm over 65 so my local authority will be obliged to rehome me, either in a rest home or pay my rent for a flat, I'll get supplementary pension too. This is not going to help the UK housing shortage or finances.

 

No deal will be a disaster for the UK - not to mention me personally!   

 

Straight from project fear....UK and EU citizens rights have been protected so you will still receive healthcare....food shortages and price increases has been discussed and dismissed many times already and is a blatant lie

We also have 2.4 million eu citizens in the uk so all we have to do is offer reciprocal treatment and if any eu country refuses to treat our ex pats,do the same to their citizens here.

Why would anyone who retired to Los have to abandon their plans? - unless of course no deal causes the £ to crash even more.

 

Those of us who retired to Europe though are face with the possibility of having no right to reside here and no health cover in the event of no deal - now do you understand why we feel a little upset? 

 

No deal is good for exactly no one.

You chose to retire to Europe up to you,as for your comments regarding local council being obliged to house you,good luck with that one,you might get a place in a hostel.

The UK government pays the healthcare costs of UK pensioners in Europe. They have stated they will continue to pay those costs for a further 6 months after a no deal brexit - in spite of which  many of my friends here got letters to  say their health cover would end on October 31st and they would have to make their own arrangements after that - all with less than two months notice. 

 

So any continued healthcare cover after that 6 months will entirely depend on the generosity of whatever member state you happen to live in. Our rights are NOT protected.  

 

There is a good deal of people who say there will be  food shortages and price increases - where is your evidence that there won't be ?

There are roughly 2 million working UK citizens in the EU  and another 2 million retirees.

 

The situation for these two groups is completely different.

 

Working people pay into the social security system and get cover from the country they work in because of that. Retirees health costs are paid by the UK   gov from the contributions they  made back in the UK. It's the latter group that will be affected, because the UK gov is no longer forced to pay those costs by EU regulations - this mean bunch intend to stop it to save money.

 

The select committee looked at using EU retirees in the UK for reciprocity, but found there were so few of them they couldn't - I think in the case of Spain there were 12 Spanish pensioners who have retired to the UK !
