House price reductions are more likely to help the younger generation who wanted to Remain. One day they will see why the 16-18 year olds shouldn't get the vote. Yes. It's only how much a house costs that matters. Being able to borrow money to buy it - or being able to afford that loan is unimportant. Less immigration - currently depressing wages and exploding in-work-benefits. Can I get this clear? You are in favour of wages going up by a significant amount for those in poorly paid jobs? Lower helping exports. And making imports more expensive. Like food. And pretty well all the essentials. Energy and so on. It really is win-win. Nothing ever is - except to those with only one brain cell. The only betrayers are the Remains wanting to transfer sovereignty to unelected commissioners. You've been reading the back of that sauce bottle again. Next you'll be saying you wanted the UK to join the Euro? Odd the vast majority of those who didn't want to join the Euro wanted to stay in the EU. But, of course, it just shows that the EU doesn't have *total* control over the UK as the likes of you imply. If it did, we'd have been in the Euro. -- *You're just jealous because the voices only talk to me * Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |

Because the result of that choice was a fart in the bath compared with Britain leaving the EU.

The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie.

Which suggests he didn't have an answer to it I've had loaded guns pulled on me twice. Once by a black American & once by a white New Zealander. On the whole the black American was easier to deal with. However that isn't the point -- New Socialism consists essentially in being seen to have your heart in the right place whilst your head is in the clouds and your hand is in someone else's pocket. |

All of the USA, Japan, China, India, Canada, Australia, etc etc etc all trade with the EU fine without that. Why should Britain not be able to do that too ? |

I think the problem may be that if we leave we (after being in) we won't be in as good a position as if we were trying to join afresh. But anyway, it was only an 'advisory referendum', the government still need to vote (article 50) through and they need to do so that it represents the best for the *majority* of the population (not just those who voted). Anyway, I believe it's going legal now so we will see. Cheers, T i m |

But, of course, it just shows that the EU doesn't have *total* control over the UK as the likes of you imply. If it did, we'd have been in the Euro. It proves that the UK is strong enough to stand outside the EU and still trade otherwise they would have insited on teh UK joining the Euro. |

It's only how much a house costs that matters. Being able to borrow money to buy it - or being able to afford that loan is unimportant. Several new challenger banks opening specifically targeting on loans to young people but you are more interested in the value of your own house.

Market forces. Tight labour market, wages go up. Lower helping exports. And making imports more expensive. Like food. EU tariffs on food especially from Africa will disappear. And pretty well all the essentials. Energy and so on. Get fracking and energy prices will plummet. It really is win-win. Nothing ever is - except to those with only one brain cell. The only betrayers are the Remains wanting to transfer sovereignty to unelected commissioners. You've been reading the back of that sauce bottle again. Typically pointless comment Next you'll be saying you wanted the UK to join the Euro? Odd the vast majority of those who didn't want to join the Euro wanted to stay in the EU. The question never arose. But, of course, it just shows that the EU doesn't have *total* control over the UK as the likes of you imply. If it did, we'd have been in the Euro.
